The Winter of His Content

Kevin Michael Richardson as S.A.T. Preppers Member

"The Winter of His Content" is the fourteenth episode of the 25th season of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, and the 544th episode of the series. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 16, 2014. It was written by Kevin Curran and directed by Chuck Sheetz. In the episode, when the Retirement Castle is closed for health violations, Marge invites Grampa and two other old people to live at the Simpsons' house, only to get frustrated with Homer embracing the "old person lifestyle". Meanwhile, Bart defends Nelson's decision to wear his mother's underwear, and ends up part of a bully gathering a la The Warriors.

Marge and Homer are in the throes of full passion as they arrive home from a date, but all romance is out the window when Lisa tells them that the Springfield Retirement Castle has been shut down for massive violations and Grandpa has nowhere to live. Grandpa is picked up by the family, with Homer rudely suggesting they put his dad in a luxury dog kennel before Marge angrily shoots down the idea; while they're there, Marge is moved when she sees that Abe's friends Jasper Beardley and the Old Jewish Man have no one to pick them up, and she says they're coming to stay with the family as well, despite Homer's renewed objections.

At school, Bart and his classmates undress for gym class. Nelson reluctantly changes, but his fellow school students laugh at him when they find out he is wearing women's underwear. The laughter does not cease until Bart points out he's wearing Homer's hand-me-down briefs, which were previously worn by gorillas performing for circuses. After the class applauds Bart for his kind act, Nelson declares he and Bart are now good friends. With Grandpa and his friends needing constant defibrillation around their days of passing gas and reading huge-font online articles, Homer almost dies when he sees the electric bill before Marge revives him. Homer's complaints about the old guys lead Lisa to quietly but seriously point out that she and Bart are getting cues on how they'll take of Homer when he's older, and while Lisa is shocked when Homer reveals that Abe's father is alive but Abe ignores him, Lisa just asks her dad to be nice to Abe, who she calls a "treasure".
