Okay, some things.

In the intro I never really noticed Lisa's chad move of getting off her bike and letting it coast into the car hold while she goes through the front door, perhaps this got changed later...btw, Bearenstein or Bearenstain?

Swans are geese with the muscle to back up the UNENDING RAGE, Brat was toying with his own life.

Marge's 60fps4k drunk walk cycle while everyone else has a 3 frame walk cycle.

That second dad going to "blast immediately" mode at the slightest rustle outside like Springfield is Albuquerque or something, very unhinged.

You go on about characterization and I agree, one thing though is I think Marge got drunk before realizing the punch was spiked, also props to the wives for the impromptu drunken musical number.

See, I'd agree with your note about Marge, except she says beforehand that she's not much of a drinker, which seems to me to imply she knew it would be spiked? 🤔 Your explanation would make a LOT of sense if it weren't for that little oddity, though.

Re-watched that scene and yeah, Marge knew the punch was spiked, the other wife mentions getting punch specifically. She must have just been a lightweight or the woman in charge of spiking the punch (no way would burns provide hard liquor for a family picnic) slipped in everclear instead of the normal Col. Kwik-e-mart's kentucky bourbon (11%abv).

I can definitely buy Marge being a lightweight!

Has she been depicted drinking outside of this episode?

You know, I'm honestly not sure! Definitely something I'll be keeping an eye out for as I proceed, though. I do think there's a later season episode where she starts drinking, but I can't recall when it is or any of the surrounding circumstances?

The only thing I can think of is the episode where she goes nanners, loses her hair and while at Rancho Relaxo orders some booze.
