In this week's episode, A Midsummer's Nice Dream, the plot mainly focused on the infamous duo, Cheech and Chong. In the episode, they return for a reunion show that the Simpson family, specifically homer, is exited to watch watch. During the skits, Cheech and Chong get into an argument where Chong refuses to continue with the show because everyone already knows the lines and he thinks the material is old. As a result of their altercation, Chong leaves and Homer ends the show with Cheech. After the show, Cheech and Chong to go their own ways. Homer teams up with Cheech while Principal Skinner  joins Chong. Homer soon realizes the harsh reality that working with Cheech would not just be fun and games. Meanwhile, Santa's little helper runs away and gets into the cat lady's house where Marge and Lisa go to fetch him. While in the cat lady's house, Marge discovers that she is a hoarder and decides to help her out. By cleaning out the cat lady's house, Marge eventually takes a fancy towards the deed and picks up her own hoarding addiction. In the end, Homer gets the cat lady to convince Marge to stop her hoarding. Eventually Cheech and Chong get back together and all is well in the town of springfield. I think this episode was trying to show two things. I think it wanted to aware the audience of how detrimental some addictions are and how it can really affect someones future. The other thing the episode was trying to show is how you shouldn't let your pride get in the way of your relationship with others. I guess what I ultimately got from this episode is that you should avoid things that you should get addicted to such as weed, or bad habits in order to live a better life.

Simpsons episode 3.6

In this Simpson's episode, Lisa and her class go on a field trip to the Springfield Desert state park. As her life is being threatened by scorpions, Lisa discovers the soothing effect of a certain flower on her attackers. She takes the scorpions and the flowers home where she eventually makes a serum. Meanwhile, Abe (Homers dad) gets kicked out of the retirement home and goes to live with Homer and the family. Abe presents the family with a problem as he is very grumpy and complains a lot. In an act of desperation to resolve their family issue, Homer drugs Abe with Lisa's serum where it successfully sedates and calms him.  Lisa is alarmed by this and flushes the drugs  down toilet and tells her grandpa of what was done. Abe was not mad at all as he said it made him happy and that people liked him more.  Once Abe goes off the drug, a doctor examines him and wants to replicate the drug. Bart takes the drugs and sells them to the town's elderly. Despite a happier Springfield, one of the side effects of Lisa's drug is that your eyeballs fall out if you take the drug! The old people find themselves outside of the pharmaceutical building where they want to thank the doctor despite the negative effects of the drugs. Eventually the manufacturer decides to stop making the drug. At the end of the episode Homer destroys his car while the old people fix it. This episode illustrates the effects of drugs and how the younger generations get stupid as time goes on. One of the sad things in this life is that when I look around, it seems kind of true.

Simpsons episode 2.27

In this week's episode, homer is sent to jail and sentenced to 10 years in prison after he is stopped by the police and given a series of tickets. Despite his awful situation, he is offered an opportunity to absolve himself which involved him working as an undercover mole for Fat Tony and his mob under the name "Nicky bluepants". Homer accepts this job and is given task by fat tony in order to gain his trust. One of the scenes involves Tony telling homer to burn down Moe's where he coincidentally finds Moe's bar already in flames. In one of the last scenes of the episode, Fat Tony and Homer find themselves on a dock waiting for weapons. Eventually Homer informs Tony that he is working as a spy giving him a heart attack leading to his death. Homer mourns greatly over his death showing the audience that Homer really did care. As the episode continues, Homer runs into Fat Tony's cousin, Fit Tony. Fit tony spares Homers life after hearing about how much he cared about Fat Tony. Eventually, Fit Tony turns into Fat Tony, and life goes on.


In this episode, One can gain a better understanding of how relationships work. Relationships are built on trust, respect, and love among other important values. Sometimes these values can be faked, sometimes they can be lost, but as Homer learns, the truth can be a devastating thing. Over time scars will heal, and life will go on.
