"It is autumn, and nature is vanishing. It is autumn, and nature is beautiful. Welcome to Night Vale."
An athletic scandal threatens the annual Night Vale High School Homecoming Game. Plus, a seismological update and a new cooking segment with an old friend.
Tropes present in Homecoming include:
- Armor-Piercing Question:Earl Harlan: What year did we graduate? *long pause* You don’t remember, do you, Cecil?
- Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": In Night Vale, "nutmeg" is an animal that must be de-veined before use.
- Really 700 Years Old: Earl Harlan implies this is the case for both Cecil and himself.
