The Simpsons finale pulls a shocker, and it's all about Marge Simpson
In the episode, the storyline follows the evolving relationship between siblings Bart and Lisa Simpson, while revealing the fate of their mother, Marge. As the episode progresses, a significant time jump of 35 years shows Lisa talking about her "late mother," indicating Marge's death at a younger age than expected, likely before reaching her early 70s. The episode hints that Marge passes away sometime in the future, but the exact cause and circumstances are left unclear.
As the narrative unfolds, Homer Simpson is shown adjusting to life without his wife. He is placed in a senior facility in Florida after Lisa files a complaint about his living conditions. The emotional weight of the episode deepens when Lisa reads a letter from Marge, urging her and Bart to maintain a close bond. In a poignant scene, Marge watches over the family from a cloud, offering a bittersweet farewell.

Fans took to social media to express their shock and confusion, with many expressing disbelief over the sudden death of Marge. One fan posted on X: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KILLED MARGE SIMPSON?" while another exclaimed, "WHAT THE F**K THEY KILLED MARGE SIMPSON!?"
This surprising moment comes on the heels of another significant change for the show. Pamela Hayden, the voice of Milhouse Van Houten for over 35 years, recently announced her retirement. Hayden's character, known for his nerdy antics and crush on Lisa, will now be voiced by Kelly Macleod, the lead singer of the band Private Life.

A music industry insider told Soompi that the four-member group has completed recording tracks for the project and finished a promotional photo shoot. Originally slated for release in October, the EP's launch was reportedly moved to November. In response to the speculation, Blackpink's agency YG Entertainment neither confirmed nor denied the timing. "We will announce it later through official promotions," the company said in a statement quoted by Soompi. If the release goes ahead, it will be the group's first multi-track project since their 2022 album Born Pink. Their most recent music drop was the digital single Jump, released in July. The rumoured comeback aligns with Blackpink's ongoing Deadline world tour, which will bring them to the Philippine Arena in November for a two-day run. The timing has fuelled fan excitement, as it could coincide with the potential EP launch. Known for their record-breaking releases and global influence, Blackpink has consistently delivered high-profile comebacks.
