** After dealing with a Franchise/JamesBond-style caper courtesy of Burns' silo, Homer excitedly says that he will pour water on Mona's ashes and this will revive her. Marge has to remind him that no, Mona is dead and there's no way to bring her back. A now-sober (and solemn) Homer thus releases the ashes into the wind.
** Given how many times Mona has abruptly left Homer or been presumed dead, Homer would naturally not think good of her when she shows up unexpectedly in his life again.
