"The Way of the Dog" is the 22nd episode and season finale of season 31. It aired on May 17, 2020.

Synopsis

"After the Simpsons' dog bites Marge, the family explores the tragic past of Santa's Little Helper."

Plot

Santa's Little Helper is dreaming at the Simpson house, watching Ralph reaching for popcorn. When he wakes up to the smell of popcorn prepared by Marge so Bart and Lisa could make a string to put on the Christmas tree.

When Marge tries to put a santa hat on Santa's Little Helper, he is afraid, getting flashbacks from his past, and resists them putting it on for a picture for the christmas family card.

When the family returns from shopping for presents, they found the couch shredded by the dog and the dog depressed on an angle, and Lisa proposes to take him to a psychologist, Elaine Wolff.

They bring him at the Springfield Knowledge College, where Elaine is giving a lecture, but she refuses to help them. At home, when Marge tries to take the santa hat to clean it, the dog bites her, so they take him to a pet doctor that proposes to put him down but they refuse.

While they make arrangements to keep the dog outside, unsuccessfully, Wiggum arrives at the house informing them that animal control is coming to take him away.
