"Thanksgiving of Horror"

Episode Information Showrunner: [[{{{showrunner}}}]]

"Thanksgiving of Horror" is the 8th episode of Season 31. It aired on November 24, 2019.

Synopsis

"In a special Thanksgiving edition of "Treehouse of Horror," the Simpsons are forced to face various Thanksgiving nightmares, including the first Thanksgiving, an A.I. mishap and a dangerous space mission complicated by a sentient cranberry sauce."

Plot

Opening scene

In a scene reminescent of a classic Treehouse of Horror episode, Marge introduces the episode with the terror going into Thanksgiving, with Homer being the only public in the theater. Kang and Kodos dressed as Puritans come in to take over the world and ask what's for dinner and Homer says that nobody knows. The scene then shifts to a table, on which a gravy sauce boat spills the garvy on it, forming the letters Thanksgiving of Horror and the opening credits, licked away by Santa's Little Helper and Homer.

A-Gobble-Ypto

The setting is in a forest where most Springfielders are turkeys. Homer is sleeping and Bart grabs his snood to wake him up. Homer chases Bart and are interrupted by Lisa announcing Marge is laying her egg. Right after, the various families are gathered around but Maude gets shot by the human Police.

Due to the musket taking 3 minutes to recharge, they start gathering the other turkeys by hand. The Simpsons try to hide in a hole, covered by leaves, and Homer tries to save the Maggie egg but gets captured by Wiggum.

Homer is brought with the others to the village where the humans are cooking the turkeys and a cerimony to cut the turkeys head is held by Reverend Lovejoy. When his turn is almost coming, the beheaded body of Grampa Simpson moves around and Milhouse tries to cleanse it with the fire from a lantern but throws it into the village made of wood, causing a massive fire.

Bart saves Homer but they're followed by Lou, Eddie and Wiggum. The first two gets killed by crows, and Wiggum fells down a cliff after chasing Homer to it, but he survives and takes the egg. Thinking he got them trapped he pronounces the sentence but he's too hasty as a bear attack him, and he throws the egg away in the fight.

Lisa manages to save it and Maggie is born from it, while the bear eats Wiggum. Homer sees a dark future ahead, as the humans feast on their Thanksgiving table, at the end of what was the first Thanksgiving.
