Synopsis

"Uff-da! Things for Ned and Homer go from bad to gosh-darn worse in the stunning conclusion of this SIMPFLIX prestige crime thriller."

Plot

Chapter IV: Tree Money, Where Art Thou?

Marge is at the Police Station to report that Kostas is the one that kidnapped Homer. Wiggum gives up on taking him, but Marge finds out he's being using The Rich Texan's car. Meanwhile, Ned is worried on finding out what happened and tries to find a way to come up with the ransom, and wonders back to the past.

Ned and his grandfather are at the barber shop when the Szyslak Brothers mafia come in and seem to start a fight, but after the barber takes the kid out, they hand him a bribe. After punching one of the brothers out of the window to keep his reputation, he goes with them to have fun at a pub before earning his keep at the Prestige Motel.

At the Motel the deal between the brothers and the Capital City Mob goes wrong as they start a gun fight over the money in the bag. He survives just before police was coming and hids the money in the trees, but Kostas shows up, asking for the money, but before he could reveal where they are, he slips on the ice and stabs himself on Kostas knife. Kostas writes the debt in his book and flees from the police, whose car hit the tree and makes it fall to where Homer finds it.

Production

The episode received a table read on December 17, 2020, but Al Jean chose not to reveal the title or any details on it, till the writer Cesar Mazariegos announced it after having being asked on Twitter.

Similar to the 4th season of Fargo, where they pan across a buncha gangsters and you see all their names under them, the writer Dan Vebber named them all, but time costraints cut the scene. Animators designed some of them with the names in mind.
