The final gag—baby Maggie accidentally annihilating the lunar colony—is one of the darkest punchlines in Treehouse history. It implies: There is no escape. Even the innocent cause extinction. The radioactive Earth glows in sickly greens and oranges. The moon colony is sterile white and gray—a deliberate contrast.
