Henry VIII

King Henry VIII (Homer) is unhappy that his wife Margerine of Aragon has borne him a daughter, Mary (Lisa). Unable to execute Margerine because her father is the king of Spain, Henry attempts marriage counseling. Margerine then files for a divorce, forcing Henry to split his kingdom. Henry marries Anne Boleyn (Lindsay Naegle); nine months later, Anne tearfully apologizes to Henry for having borne him another daughter and is summarily executed. Henry goes through many wives, resulting in more and more daughters. Finally, after many years and executions, Henry is old and sick, lying on his bed, with Margerine by his side. He asks for her forgiveness for having locked her up in a dungeon and asks her to be his queen again. She accepts tenderly and then smothers him to death with his pillow.

Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea

Lewis (Lenny) and Clark (Carl) are assigned to explore the West by President Thomas Jefferson (Mayor Quimby). They meet a tribe of Native Americans led by Chief Homer, who offers them the guidance of his daughter, Sacagawea (Lisa). Sacagawea gives them many tips on how to survive the land, including how to scare a mountain lion, but quickly becomes fed up with Lewis and Clark's antics and stupidity. Finally, she leaves them and sets off back home. She encounters a mountain lion, but before it can attack, Lewis and Clark save her using the advice she gave them. The party arrives at the Pacific Ocean and a heavy downpour begins, prompting Lewis and Clark to name the rain-soaked place Eugene, Oregon.

Mozart and Salieri

Wolfgang Mozart (Bart) is a big hit in Vienna, playing sonatas on the grand piano as if he were at a rock concert. Antonio Salieri (Lisa) is resentful of Mozart's good fortune, especially when Mozart wins the best composer award. At Mozart's next opera, Salieri serves the Emperor (Montgomery Burns) wine spiked with a sleeping potion. The opera is a success until the sycophantic fops and dandies hear the Emperor snoozing in the balcony. The failure of his opera leads to Mozart's fall from popularity, after which he develops a high fever and becomes deathly ill. At Mozart's deathbed, Salieri tells him she wanted to ruin his life, not kill him. Mozart confesses that he thought highly of Salieri's work, believing that it would be remembered more than his - but his youthful death ensures he and his music will be immortalized forever. He then dies. The next day, Salieri visits the Emperor's court to submit her work, but the court is already focused on Beethoven (Nelson). Befuddled, Salieri hails a carriage to the mental asylum, gets in and laughs hysterically as the carriage draws away.

Trivia

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items into other sections and removing inappropriate items. (June 2007)

• None of these mini-episodes are historically accurate. For instance, Henry VIII only beheaded two of his six wives, Anne Boleyn and her cousin, Catherine Howard.
• Also, Henry VIII wouldn't have been a large man during the time of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, and he would've actually been a fit dashing young King, this may be due to the fact that most people think of Henry as he was during his late years, arrogant and fat.
• The line by an Austrian Dr. Nick is grammatically incorrect. He says "Guten Tag, everybody!", German for "good day". When he said it, it appeared to be night. One possible reason could be because most Americans just think of it as "Hello".
• Chief Homer mistakenly calls Clark "Carl".
• The song that Bart played (when he was Mozart) is titled "Alla turca: Allegretto" from Piano Sonata no. 11 in A major.
• The Musical Fruit song is a parody of Eine kleine Nachtmusik, but the name is presumably a reference to The Magic Flute.
• Sacagawea was called Janey by some members of the expedition (in reality), it is thus coincidental that Lisa plays her, since one of her best friends is named Janey (in the show).
• A Merkin is a pubic wig. Bart uses the word in a dream bubble when speaking to Henry VIII.
• Nelson's trademark laugh is set to the "fate" motif of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
