Werking Mom

"Werking Mom" is the 646th episode of the American animated television series The Simpsons and the seventh episode of season 30. The episode was directed by Mike Frank Polcino and written by Carolyn Omine and Robin Sayers. The episode was also dedicated in memory of Stan Lee of Marvel Comics fame, who died on November 12, 2018 and had guest starred three times on the show, in the episodes "I Am Furious (Yellow)", "Married to the Blob" and "Caper Chase" respectively. Plot Marge attempts to earn extra money by arranging Tubberware parties, but no one is eager to host. Her hairdresser Julio agrees to play host, and invites many of his fellow gay friends. When Marge seems nervous, he gives her an over-the-top makeover. The party goes well, until Julio realizes that the guests have mistaken Marge for a drag queen. He later convinces Marge to just go with it, and introduces her to Springfield's drag scene. When Homer realizes what she's doing, he interrupts a party and reveals her true gender, a decision he immediately regrets. Marge is furious, but when Homer shows up to the drag club dressed like a woman, she forgives him. Meanwhile, in an homage to the movie Amélie, Lisa discovers a box that belonged to Jasper when he was a child. She secretly returns it, greatly cheering him up. She decides to help all of Springfield's outcasts, including Gil, Agnes and Seymour Skinner, and the Van Houtens. When Agnes discovers the trick, Lisa is ashamed, but those people she helped invite her to lunch on the roof of the school as they appreciate her efforts. Production RuPaul was cast as Queen Chante, who is a drag queen. Raja, the winner of season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race, also appeared as herself.
