The Simpsons, which sees Lisa murder one of the show’s long-running characters.The moment took place in the latest Halloween special of the animated series – called Treehouse Of Horror XXXIV –which aired on Sunday (November 5).In the episode, a segment is featured called ‘Ei8ht’, which is set in an alternate universe where Sideshow Bob has finally fulfilled his dream of killing Bart – leading to Lisa becoming a true crime specialist.Brought in to help the police track down a serial killer who has been targeting first-born children across Springfield, she goes to Sideshow Bob for assistance. However, in an unexpected twist, it is revealed that it is Lisa herself who is the killer and has been on her murderous rampage in a bid to get close to Bob and carry out her revenge.The plot twist in the episode came as a surprise to viewers, with many anticipating that if Sideshow Bob were to be killed off, it would have eventually been carried out by Bart.This comes as the character – voiced by Frasier star Kelsey Grammer – has been a long-running nemesis of the 10-year-old, and has been on a quest to murder him since Season One.Although the character of Sideshow Bob meets his gruesome demise in the latest Treehouse Of Horror, the death isn’t permanent as the Halloween episodes are set in an alternate universe – meaning he is still alive and well in the main Simpsons universe.Elsewhere in the episode, Kylie Jenner makes a guest appearance in one storyline, helping Marge venture into the metaverse to save Bart, who has been turned into an NFT.
