After 797 Episodes, The Simpsons Introduces Marge's Secret Aunt
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
The Simpsons dropped a major lore bomb in its 37th season, introducing Marge's previously unknown and estranged aunt, Beatrice Bouvier, in episode 797.
Even after nearly eight hundred episodes, television's most famous yellow family still has a few secrets left to uncover. IGN Africa reports that the latest episode of The Simpsons has officially expanded the Bouvier family tree by introducing Beatrice Bouvier, a previously unmentioned aunt who happens to be estranged from Marge.
Titled Sashes to Sashes and serving as the seventh episode of season 37, the story dives into a long-buried family feud. Viewers learn that a four-year-old Marge stopped speaking to her aunt after a harsh childhood disagreement regarding princesses and romance. Marge managed to erase Beatrice from her life entirely until a slip-up brought the secret relative back into the spotlight.
Long-running animated series rarely shake up their core lore this deep into their run, but this reveal gives fans something fresh to chew on. Whether Beatrice becomes a recurring fixture in Springfield or remains a one-episode wonder, it is an impressive feat for a show in its 37th season to still find new ways to poke at family dynamics. Original reporting comes via IGN South Africa.
