Love, Springfieldian Style: Week 4 Questline All Dogs Go to Jail

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Love is in the air friends!  Yes, Valentine’s Day is back in our pocket-sized towns!  And this time around things are going to be done, Springfieldian Style.

Love, Springfieldian Style follows the same event structure that the Simpsons Christmas Special event followed.  This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!

It’s time for the exciting conclusion of Love, Springfieldian Style!  For Act 4 we’re following Snake’s totally made up story about some dogs, we also see how the story ends and if the Valentine’s Day Cards are spared!  So let’s take a look at Snake’s story…

Here’s the story’s synopsis:

Snake likes Bart story, especially because it deals with a surprise betrayal at the end. He can relate to something like that. Lisa realizes this might be his cry for help, so she asks Snake to tell a story about his feelings but through someone else’s perspective. Snake agrees and tells a story about dogs in love. Snake, a stray dog, is offered some food to eat by Gloria. Snake takes advantage of this and gives a bunch of food away to his other stray dog pals. The humans come after Snake, but the dog catcher captures Gloria instead in a mix-up. Snake stages a breakout to get Gloria out of the pound. Things go south quickly, but Gloria is released after she is identified as a dog with an owner. Snake is about to celebrate with Gloria, but Skinner dog shows up and Gloria runs off with him.

Snake, clearly the mutt in the last story, is heartbroken that Gloria left him. That’s why he doesn’t like Valentine’s Day. Skinner explains that Gloria is just taking night classes, so this is all one big miscommunication. The situation settles down, and then the cops show up to arrest Snake. As Snake is being taken away, it turns out Gloria and Skinner really were dating. And the Valentine Card for Bart was from Sherri & Terri. Bart is ready to abandon this “party”. Everyone agrees to cancel the Valentine’s Dance as they eat all the food and read each other’s Valentine’s Cards.

Now, on with the story!
