A series of unfortunate events make it look like Homer Simpson intentionally shut Santa's Little Helper in the car on a hot day, then get worse when he accidentally knocks Reverend Lovejoy out of a church window. Videos of the incidents go viral online and everyone turns on Homer, only for a mysterious man named Theo to approach him with a radical offer to repair Homer's reputation.
Reception
Tony Sokol of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4 out of 5 stars stating, "The Simpsons have been on both sides of the argument. They were accused of breaking politically correct taboos, and equally criticized for adjusting for a more inclusive creative and talent staff. They don’t let themselves off the hook, and they are not making excuses. “You Won’t Believe What This Episode Is About – Act Three Will Shock You!” is clickbait you should not pass up."[2]
Marcus Gibson of Bubbleblabber gave the episode a 7 out of 10 stating, "Overall, season 33 has been a strong one for The Simpsons, however, this week’s episode feels like mish-mash message on a hot topic that doesn’t quite get to the point as to what it wants to say. There was a time when The Simpsons didn’t apologize to anybody, and for the most part, this “era” is considered the high point of the franchise. If The Simpsons truly is in a renaissance period, then, is it really The Simpsons anymore? I think this episode perfectly encapsulates a lot of the struggle that the show’s producers are fielding about that very topic. We’ve seen better responses in the past."[3]
