A Mid-Childhood Night's Dream

Bart suddenly gets stuck in a giant bubble and pops, making Marge scream in horror.

Marge tries to give Bart the sweater he forgot, only to find that he suddenly aged to a teenager.

Homer takes Marge back to her bedroom to rest, at which point Bart reveals he hates Bounce-A-Thon and is only going to make fun of it.

To prove his point, he takes her back to the morning and shows her how Lisa still loves Bounce-A-Thon and was excited when Marge said she was coming.

Fully recovered, she goes back to the race and takes a picture of Bart holding two bouncey balls to look like he's mooning and is proud of him.

[2] Washington also voiced the public address announcer at the grocery store in Marge's dream.

The house exploding is also a reference to the 2010 film Inception, in which explosions occurs as the dream worlds collapse.

[9] Cathal Gunning of Screen Rant thought the episode was "superb, poignant, and funny."
