* FiveSecondForeshadowing: What winds up being the [[SpottingTheThread smoking gun]] concerning who Eleanor Abernathy is? Once she mentions her cat Buster, [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay she cackles]].


Added DiffLines:

* SpottingTheThread: During the section on Eleanor Abernathy, we see an interview she was giving at 32 while suffering from burnout. If you needed a clue about [[AndThatLittleGirlWasMe "Eleanor Abernathy"'s real identity]] [[WhamShot before the reveal itself]], this is what she says in this section, as she relaxes with wine and her pet cat:
-->'''Eleanor''': I'm a little burnt-out. So, sometimes, don't shoot me, I have a glass of wine with Buster here. [[FiveSecondForeshadowing (cackles)]] He's a real comfort. [[StartOfDarkness I might even get a]] ''[[StartOfDarkness second]]'' [[StartOfDarkness cat.]]

** It appears that by the present-day segment, Homer and his family are living in a mansion, which Homer claims is because they struck it rich after he invented a condiment pen. It turns out they're at one of Mr. Burn's houses pretending to own the place to fool the documentary filmmaker because Homer doesn't want to admit that he hasn't accomplished anything over the past eight years.

(This in spite of him having done things like going to space and winning a Grammy.)
