Synopsis

Template:Spoilers After seeing Ned Flanders reject an offer to get an illegal cable hook-up, Homer chases after the cable man and wants to be hooked up for free. He likes the new channels he gets, which the family watches with him. Lisa, however, feels suspicious. She fears that because Homer violated the Eighth Commandment, he will go to Hell when he dies. She sees Reverend Lovejoy at church. He suggests to Lisa that she should not watch anything on Homer's cable hook-up.

In spite of Lisa not watching the cable hook-up, Homer invites his friends from the power plant (even Mr. Burns and Smithers), Apu, Moe, and Barney to watch a fight, "The Bout to Knock the Other Guy Out!", on pay-per-view. Homer realizes that he has felt guilty about stealing. After the fight is over, Homer aims to cut his hook-up, but he accidentially cuts the entire cable transmission in Springfield.
