Synopsis
- "Cletus becomes a singing sensation, while Homer becomes a new man. Then, Cletus turns on his fans, ruining everything."
Plot
At Moe's Tavern, it's Carl's birthday, where Homer recieves a call from Marge to get back home. Homer gives Moe his car keys to keep, which he makes a copy of, among others.
Moe calls a Uber for Homer and Barney shows up, so Homer comes back on foot while Barney drunk antics continue as he asks himself to take him to Moe's while he was there and give himself 5 stars for it.
Homer wobbles home while singing and a cop takes him to jail for the night for being a danger to the city, like making Kirk fall in the water or divelting lamposts, and he calls Marge that says to not come home and throws a I love you paper in the "missed dinners" box.
He's put in jail with Cletus, that sings him a song with a guitar, about family, that makes him think, and when he comes home, he makes a promise to become a "perfect example", making Bart stand up when Marge enters the room.
Homer next makes them pray and Marge believes in the change and Homer closes with "And that was that." before the credits start to roll, interrupted by Cletus announcing that there were two more acts and a "whittled by" credit.
Production
The episode was supposed to air on February 28, 2021, but due to "Diary Queen" being pre-empted to February 21, 2021 due to Daytona 500 delays, it was pre-empted to March 7, 2021.[1][2][3]
