Dejected, the Simpsons arrive home to find everyone in Springfield as well as Trebek gathered on their lawn and Marge thinks they have forgiven them. However, while that is the case, they steal all of their belongings, including Santa's Little Helper and Snowball ll, to cover the $15,000 debt ($20,200 if counting the money Marge owed to Jeopardy). The family playfully fight over a tattered washcloth, the only thing they have left.
