   Curious episode - a little larger than life in the way that can be   
   pretty annoying, but also did manage to make a mildly interesting and   
   unpredictable mystery with incorporation of a classic character trait. I   
   knew I recognized some of the sting elements but couldn't put my finger   
   on why and finally looked up what movie did the same thing... 2024's   
   Trap (which I never did see).   
      
   Another character name is revealed, perhaps, with Squeaky-Voiced Teen   
   having a name badge identifying him as Andrew Freeman (though he may be   
   just one of many identical-looking SVTs in the town).

   Mel pronounces Tobago with an ahh sound on the A, but it should have an   
   ay sound. Poor T&T can't catch a break with firable blunders (see 5F11).   
      
   A change of management   
   Hmm, did Al Jean step down? This is the first 37ABF episode to air   
   (though the last 4 36ABFs remain and may be waiting for several   
   months!), and perhaps it ushers in a new set of showrunners. Matt Selman   
   has been an EP on most episodes for several years, sometimes before and   
   sometimes after Al in billing. Tonight, though, it listed Selman, then a   
   new credit, Co-EP Rob Lazebnik, before the classic trio (still including   
   decade-deceased Sam Simon), with no Jean in sight.
