So, the unimaginable had happened in the latest The Simpsons episode, "Homer and Her Sisters." I can't stop laughing at the plot, while it also felt a bit out of character for Homer and a few others. However, The Simpsons is known to step out of the boundaries, and "Homer and Her Sisters" is proof of that statement.
Don't get me wrong, for I loved the episode as I do with most, but it felt a bit off at times. Or maybe it's just me, seeing how I became a fan back at The Simpsons' humble beginnings and intensely analyzed it beyond mental limits.
For context, Homer and Marge's twin sisters, Patty and Selma, become BFFs after years of hatred, insults, and vitriol. A unique person with eccentricities brings them together. While the storyline sometimes felt out of focus, "Homer and Her Sisters" was still a darn good episode that delivered the laughs. Then, not surprisingly, it reverted to the series' original ethos, as narratives usually do. You can't have a noncanonical element extending beyond its purpose; otherwise, the entire show's spirit is evaporated.
What else blew up like the nuclear plant in "Homer And Her Sisters?" Let's find out!
Here's what you missed on The Simpsons "Homer And Her Sisters"
It all began with a family outing to the panic room, where Homer and the twins became embittered in an argument over how to escape the room, with Marge getting involved. Nobody escapes the Escape Room except Bart, but that's not shocking. The fight gets worse, though.
Enter Krusty the Clown's Aunt Sadie, who tries to get to the crux of the problem between the three; only Marge is the problem?! Who knew about this unexpected plot twist? She has the remaining plotline set in the episode, wreaking havoc on Marge, who must step back from her family's disagreements.
Marge flashes back to that fateful baby shower a decade ago, where her husband and sisters were embroiled in a quarrel over cake flavors. During the discussion with Aunt Sadie and Krusty, she revealed that her favorite flavor is vanilla.
Who knew?
As observed by Sadie, Homer and the Bouvier twins would've became friends if Marge hadn't intervened, so the three attempt to become close, and their insults spewed on one another became "zings."
To test out their newfound friendship, Homer and the sisters head to Moe's, and while sharing a beer might seem the obvious way to celebrate, it felt off. But that's the irony of it. And by off, Moe's interested in Patty and Selma, and with the former being an open lesbian, it's fundamentally places the bartender in an awkward scenario, only he doesn't see it.
Animation Domination uploaded the clip on their YouTube Channel, where you can watch for yourself.
But the situation doesn't last, as the hatred ha pente up inside of them, and they imploded onset of Aunt Sadie's talkshow and everything's back to normal in The Simpsons' world.
It's good to be back!
