What happens

Mr. Burns, the frail, very thin, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, and Smithers, his thin assistant with glasses and a purple bow tie, appear first in an aerial view of the Springfield nuclear power plant, with its twin cooling towers, red domes and parking lots. Indoors in a laboratory, Smithers leans over a microscope while Burns stands beside him with a scowl, and Smithers holds a small vial labeled Sector 7-G on the bench. Smithers turns toward Burns and speaks, holding the vial, while Burns watches with a stern expression. The credit text "Written By John Swartzwelder" then appears over the lower part of the scene, followed by "Directed By Rich Moore" as Burns frowns at the lab bench and Smithers looks on from behind the microscope.
