   I don't remember that (but I miss The Simpsons when The Amazing Race is   
   on), but one of the Halloween episodes almost did away with her.  Lisa was   
   supposed to kill her in a take off of "Throw Momma Off the Train", but   
   Lisa thought it was just about pranking so she doesn't kill Miss   
   Krabappel, while Bart kills someone for Lisa.   
      
   (Yes, I know that the "criss cross" thing comes from Hitchcock's   
   "Strangers on a Train", which is where the Momma film gets the idea).
