A smiling woman with long brown hair in a green shirt holds up a lit flame toward a bald man in a gray tank top, saying "Hi honey! What do you think of my -" but the flame goes "SHWUSH!!" engulfing the space between them. A caption below reads: "Apparently, Ed wasn't very impressed with my new haircut" — implying the bald man set her hair on fire, which is why he (and now she) is bald. Votey: a close-up of the bald man's deadpan face as he says, "This is the only way to be sure," a nod to the Aliens line about nuking from orbit.
