“Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)” is the first episode of Season 7. It is the second part of the only two-part story ever produced in the series.
Smithers is convinced that he was the one who pulled the trigger while drunk, so he confesses to a priest who turns out to be a police officer, and he is arrested, then released when he recalls more. The Simpsons car is searched and the police find a gun covered with fingerprints, so Homer is made the prime suspect. He escapes from the prison van, and advances on Burns, who wakes up in the hospital and finally reveals the culprit’s identity.
