Don’t know if you have Disney+ but I never realized how crazy good the writing was on that show.
Just watched Life on the Fast Lane, where Marge “cheats” on Homer with the bowling professional. SO GOOD! And now that we know the RS doesn’t have to include the IC, it makes perfect sense.
If Jacques is IC then I don’t remember him changing. Marge is kind of fed up with her life but changes to being happy with what she has with Homer and the kids.
