Featured review
Poignant Exploration of "Empty Nest Syndrome"
This episode explores Marge's psyche akin to "The Sopranos" second season finale "Funhouse." Marge's insecurties as a mother spring to the surface as she comes to terms with the idea of her children eventually "leaving the nest." Marge never feels like a caricature and with no real B plot her story has room to let her confront those emotions. It could've been an easy task to phone in the Marge centric episode and rely on Marge's flanderized traits of "nagging" and "helicopter parenting" but the writers choose to humanize her. While this episode never truly hits the lofty heights of the early Simpsons, Marge feels closer to her original incarnation here, than she has in 20+ seasons.
