“RIP, Marge Simpson. Well, sort of. ‘The Simpsons’ Season 36 finale revealed that the Simpson family matriarch died in a flash-forward scene. The episode, titled ‘Estranger Things,’ focuses on the sibling bond between Bart and Lisa, who grow apart after they stop watching the kids’ show ‘The Itchy & Scratchy Show.’ Marge is fearful that her kids will become estranged — which turns out to be a reality 35 years later after Marge has died. In the future, Lisa is the commissioner of the NBA and is paying for her widowed father Homer to live in a retirement home that Bart is running unlicensed. There’s a brief scene from Marge’s funeral where Homer is standing in tears over his wife’s grave while surrounded by family.” (06/25/25)
