    Mona returns
    Homer's mother Mona returns in this episode.

    I thought it was lovely to see the child in Homer come to the surface again, and there's some nice heartfelt moments.

    The 3rd act goes off on a different tone completely, and while it's clever I think it'll divide opinions. For me it just about worked.

    Not my favourite episode of S19, but another decent one.
