And Marge roasting a water melon was such a weird, random detail.

That was in the dishwasher!

Still weird!

I was trying to figure out what was going on there! Some kind of culinary trend I’m not aware of, like poaching fish in the dishwasher? Some crazy extension of early Covid precautions?  Just some random weirdery?

I was a little underwhelmed by this episode -- considering it was the Season finale and all.

Regarding Marge roasting a watermelon in the dishwasher, this is a woman who has ironed garbage bags and untossed salads. Like @Galileo908 said, it’s pretty in character to the weird random things she tends to do from time to time.

Marge probably saw a hack that putting produce in the dishwasher gets rid of germs and pesticides. Say what you will about Marge but she tries to keep a clean house so sanitizing food, even without scientific facts, doesn't surprise me.

Would the heat destroy the watermelon though?

Was does Grampa think Lisa and Maggie are "dumb as dirt"?  I know he's supposed to be a doddering old man, but it seemed forced.

Even though, yeah, the Simpson women turn out okay, Grampa just wanted to be mean.

I'd be mean too if my son and daughter-in-law were forcing me to live in a small windowless room just to save a few bucks (by using the grandkids to guilt), especially since I sold myown house so they could buy their house, and after promising to have me move in, stuck me in the old persons home where they hardly visit.

I'd cap the tirade off by pointing out that Homer spends to much money drinking at Moe's (who will hold you at gunpoint to pay your tab) and that Marge can get a job outside the house.
