The Fortnite Simpsons live event begins with Hope, Jonesy, and Fishstick fighting the tentacled alien from the Demon realm while Kang and Kodos hover over them in their spaceship. Kang and Kodos compliment the alien and promise to help it, firing lasers at Hope and Jonesy.

While the lasers escape them, Fishsticks is hit (yet again) and gets turned into a rather delicious-looking plate of fish fingers. The aliens proceed to beam Hope and Jonesy up to the craft, where they get into a standoff. This is followed by a hilarious fight where Hope takes control of the craft and fires lasers at the alien, attracting its attention.

The alien proceeds to open up a portal, and it is during that time that Hope and Jonesy notice the Zero point shard embedded in the alien. Hope uses the spacecraft's tractor beam to pull it out. However, only a tiny chunk breaks free before they are teleported into the wormhole. Inside the wormhole, Kang and Kodos fight over their final destination.

The continuous changes to the wormhole stabilisers merge the two realities of Springfield and Looper Island, creating Springfield Island. The scene shifts to Homer's house, where he is sitting in front of the TV. The shard flies into his room, and he uses it to power the remote, creating a shard-powered transformation device.

Homer uses the shard to reimagine Springfield Island, creating an array of changes such as self-eating pretzels, endless toilet paper, and more. The live event ends with Homer talking to Mo, who tells him that two outer-town "dungballs" were looking for him. The clip ends with Hope and Jonesy trying to figure out the new world and its food.
