Fans of The Simpsons were left stunned after the season finale of the iconic animated series featured a major twist – the death of one of its most beloved characters, Marge Simpson. The final episode, titled Estranger Things, aired recently, leaving fans grappling with the unexpected development.
In the episode, the storyline follows the evolving relationship between siblings Bart and Lisa Simpson, while revealing the fate of their mother, Marge. As the episode progresses, a significant time jump of 35 years shows Lisa talking about her "late mother," indicating Marge's death at a younger age than expected, likely before reaching her early 70s. The episode hints that Marge passes away sometime in the future, but the exact cause and circumstances are left unclear.
As the narrative unfolds, Homer Simpson is shown adjusting to life without his wife. He is placed in a senior facility in Florida after Lisa files a complaint about his living conditions. The emotional weight of the episode deepens when Lisa reads a letter from Marge, urging her and Bart to maintain a close bond. In a poignant scene, Marge watches over the family from a cloud, offering a bittersweet farewell.
