[s31e3] The Fat Blue Line < PREMIUM • 2027 >

The episode kicks off at a street festival where a massive pickpocketing spree hits the citizens of Springfield. When Chief Wiggum is publicly humiliated for his inability to catch the thief, he finds an unlikely ally in Fat Tony.

The twist? Tony claims he was also a victim and wants the thief off the streets because "nobody robs the mob." This leads to a classic "strange bedfellows" trope as Wiggum and Tony team up to find the culprit, while Marge and the rest of the family deal with the fallout of Homer losing his wallet (and his dignity).

: The episode uses some clever lighting and music cues to mimic police dramas. Reviewers at The A.V. Club noted that while the visual style was a nice touch, the emotional stakes felt a bit thin.
