Go Big or Go Homer

"Homer is demoted to supervising interns, among whom is go-getter millennial Mike, a 35-year-old who asks Homer to be his mentor. However, when Homer inspires Mike to start a business of his own, the two find themselves being chased by the mob."

Plot

At the Power Plant, it's Lenny's birthday. The workers prepared a surprise party chipping in $5 each, but Mr. Burns entered just before Lenny did, signed the wish card in giant text and not chip in, giving Lenny the happy birthday and ruining the surprise, making Homer angry the whole party.

The |family then are removing the snow from their front garden, and Homer keeps complaining to them too, and when Marge consoles him and makes him calm, he has a vision of Burns' signature impaling Marge's chest, just before waking up from his nightmare.
