Written by Tim Long and directed by Matthew Nustuk, the episode explores themes of growing up and drifting apart, with a particular focus on the in-universe The Itchy and Scratchy Show. More than a month after its original airing on May 18, fans are still mourning Marge Simpson and reflecting on the episode's mature themes.

Insecure about their perceived childishness, the two move on to other interests, and begin to spend more time on their tablets, apart from each other. This causes much consternation for Marge, who pleads for her children to remain close and not drift apart. Unfortunately, that does end up happening once the episode has a time-skip and shows Marge's death.

After Marge's death, Bart and Lisa go their separate ways, leaving Homer as a lonely widower. As an adult, Lisa becomes a manager for the WNBA, which is a rebranded NBA that just focuses on women's sports. She's been paying for her father's retirement expenses, but when she finally goes to visit him, she's denied entry. She then visits her childhood home and discovers that Homer and Bart have been colluding in running an illegal retirement facility at the place. Alongside Homer, the facility also houses Lenny, Carl and Comic Book Guy. The situation escalates because of Lisa's belief that Bart is being dangerously irresponsible, which results in her filing a complaint to the Senior Protective Services. This results in Homer getting detained and slated for transfer to Florida. THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: The Simpsons: 'Estranger Things'. I've never much cared for Itchy & Scratchy, but this episode was a poignant commentary on putting aside childhood things and the bond between Bart and Lisa and Homer.

The three then go back home to watch a reboot of The Itchy and Scratchy Show, while Marge watches everything that's happened from heaven.
