The Season 36 opener of The Simpsons posed an intriguing question: what if this long-running show actually concluded? In a surprising twist, the episode suggested that it was intended as the final chapter for the entire series. For some time, The Simpsons had been hinting that its next season premiere would be a must-see event, and it turned out to be because this particular episode would serve as the full-fledged series finale, complete with nods to the finales of other popular TV shows.

Attention: The article you’re about to read reveals plot points from the premiere episode of Daryl Dixon’s second season titled “The Kindness of Strangers.” In this episode, Carol, played by Melissa McBride, embarked on a quest to find her friend Daryl (Norman Reedus) in Freeport, Maine. Her search led her to an abandoned boatyard that initially seemed like a dead end. However, she encountered a sympathetic individual named Ash (Manish Dayal), a pilot mourning the loss of his young son, Avi.

In “The Penguin,” we find ourselves post-Riddler’s destruction of Gotham City in “The Batman.” This city devastation has echoes of a well-known Batman comic book story, which is explicitly referenced within the new episode – the 1999 event “No Man’s Land.” However, there are connections to other Batman comic arcs that lead up to this event as well. Let me share how it subtly weaves its way into the series. Be warned, spoilers for “The Penguin” episode 2 follow from here on out.

In the second installment of “The Penguin,” which premiered on HBO and Max last Sunday, there might have been a fleeting hint suggesting the arrival of another DC character. Proceed with caution if you wish to be spoiled for this episode!

In Episode 2 of “The Penguin,” titled “Inside Man,” character Oz Cobb/Penguin (played by Colin Farrell) leapt from one precarious situation into another. By deceiving Sofia Falcone (performed by Cristin Milioti), who is known for her unyielding nature, that Sal Maroni was responsible for her brother’s death instead of him, Oz found himself in a challenging predicament. He needed to win back the Falcones’ trust while keeping his promises to the Maronis. Just when it seemed like Oz would be trapped between a rock and a hard place, he skillfully extricated himself once more. Remarkably, not only did he escape unscathed, but he also gained an unlikely ally – someone who had no reason to trust him in the first place.
