For Want of a Nail was disambiguated. The more concise trope here would be Butterfly Of Doom.


* ButterflyOfDoom: In the timeline where Homer won the election, he took Debbie Pinson to the prom but still would've ended up with Marge, Mr. Burns would have give him a better position at the plant, he'd have a bigger house built next to the one where Mainstream Homer lives and use the mainstream one as a guest house where Abe lives and doesn't complain about anything, and he used protection to avoid having children. And he still has hair. Patty and Selma also both think Homer's handsome when they first see him, with Patty specifically pointing out that she's not gay in that reality.

* SeriesContinuityError: Maude Flanders is seen attending high school with Homer and Marge, as opposed to "Dangerous Curves" earlier in the season, in which she's presumably older than them and met them while she was on her honeymoon with Ned and they were still in their teens.

* InSpiteOfANail: In both timelines, Homer is married to Marge and works for Mr. Burns. For him, as long as he is rich and doesn't have children, it's fine. He and Marge also still own the house at 742 Evergreen Terrace, but use it as a guest house for Abe to live while they live in a mansion next door.
