History Recap / TheSimpsonsS25E1Homerland

* TheCameo: The [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Griffins]], [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Smiths]], [[WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow Browns]], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and]] [[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers Belchers]] all make an appearance in the end credits.

* WeWantOurJerkBack: Lisa, of all members of the family, is unsettled when Homer rejects violence and stops eating meat. ({{Subverted}} at the end when, once she understands that they aren't indicative of anything sinister, she encourages him to keep up his improved behavior, [[StatusQuoIsGod to no avail]].)

* StalkerWithACrush: The FBI Agent that is following Homer becomes obsessed with him (to the point that she barges into the Simpsons' home to both threaten Homer that she's watching and try to seduce him and takes time from giving him a PoliceBrutality NoHoldsBarredBeatdown at the episode's denouement ''to steal a kiss from him'').

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Homer isn’t act like himself. He doesn’t choke Bart, enjoys vegetables, ask for water instead of beer, declines Marge’s offer to have sex, and is kneeling on a prayer mat. This scares Lisa, as she thinks Homer has become a Muslim terrorist, but really, he was hanging out with hippies, the mat is actually an affirmation mat that he's meant to kneel on whenever he feels tempted to drink beer, and his apparent repeated bowing while kneeling on it is because it's hell on his knees and he's strugging to stay up and/or bowed.

After returning from a nuclear plant convention, Homer begins to act out of character and Lisa, along with a mentally disturbed FBI agent who looks and acts like Claire Danes' character from ''Homeland'' (but is voiced by Creator/KristenWiig), investigate.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Moe uses a remote-controlled drone with a beer can to undo the changes done to Homer. He comments that the device will pay for itself after one night.
