Krusty the Clown (Dan Castellaneta) collapses in front of the Simpsons family and they find a letter in his pocket that states that a rocket full of the Earth’s brightest will launch for Mars soon.

As the New Year’s ball drops, the Y2K virus replicates across all computers and chaos soon ensues.
Homer Simpson ( Dan Castellaneta) is the nuclear plant’s Y2K compliance officer in charge of fixing all of the computers before midnight. On New Year’s Eve 1999, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve takes place in Springfield rather than NYC. The episode contains three stories, and the last, “Life’s a Glitch, Then You Die,” imagines a world where the new millenium has wreaked havoc across Springfield and the world. The Simpsons go full Y2K horror in this millennium inspired episode. The party jumping in this episode is a fun way to introduce new situations to all of the characters and yet still maintain a great level of tension. Dobby agrees but the plan soon becomes complicated after Jeremy and Zahra are no longer going to live together. He goes to Gerard’s party to tell Dobby that he is sorry and wants her to move in with him. Mark overhears a couple of men talking about Dobby and finds out that she went to a role playing party hosted by Gerard ( Jim Howick). Mark and Jeremy decide to attend another New Year’s Eve party at Big Suze’s ( Sophie Winkleman) house. After angrily confronting him, Dobby storms out of the party. Mark reluctantly plays along, unaware that Dobby is behind him. Jeff ( Neil Fitzmaurice) and Johnson ( Paterson Joseph) start to crudely tease Mark about dating Dobby ( Isy Suttie). Later, Mark ( David Mitchell) and Jeremy arrive at a New Year’s Eve party at Johnson’s house. She asks him to move in with her and he readily agrees.
The season finale of Series 7 starts with Zahra ( Camilla Beeput) visiting Jeremy ( Jeremy Usborne) to tell him that she and Ben ( Danny Babington) broke up.
