Synopsis:

Grampa's days in the Air Force are rehashed, while Bart picks up the smoking habit in an effort to impress Milhouse's Dutch cousin, Annika.

Season 26, Episode 20

An okay episode but a bit weaker compared with some of the stronger ones of the season. I liked Homer going around sabotaging the elaborate birthdays. Bart having a crush on Milhouse's cousin who looked way too close to Milhouse was weird. Grampa's flashback was pretty decent and I liked how they acknowledged that he's claimed to be in various branches of the military. I also enjoyed him and Homer hanging out and them going to The Exhaustables 3. Homer claiming a post apocalyptic movie was original only to rattle off a bunch of recent titles from the genre was pretty good.

I didn't really care for this one.

I did think it was funny the actress that voiced Milhouse's cousin really does have the last name van Houten. She plays Melisandre on "Game of Thrones"

I enjoyed this episode. The Jack Kerouac bit was hilarious. It might be inappropriate to say this since I'm not sure how old she was, but I found Milhouse's cousin to be pretty attractive. Those striped stockings were hot.

I was entertained by this episode.

Does anyone know what she was saying in Dutch at the end of the episode. It must have been something, because they made a point of having this over the credits.

I found the answer:

Annika’s parting words at the airport are, “‘That they can all go to hell, and that she’s sick of those two little boys.’
