"Left Behind" is the nineteenth episode of the twenty-ninth season of the animated television series The Simpsons, and the 637th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on May 6, 2018.

Plot

During the Simpsons' dinner, a solar eclipse occurs. Marge, Lisa, Bart, Maggie and Grampa go outside to watch the solar eclipse, but Homer stays inside and continues to eat because it is "pork chop night". Marge is irritated by Homer's apathy, so he takes her out for a romantic date night the next day. As Homer and Marge return from their date, Ned Flanders comes to them looking for advice, now unemployed after being forced to close his store the Leftorium. Homer gets Flanders a human resources job at the power plant, while Rod and Todd stay with the Simpsons, with Todd getting on Lisa's nerves.

At the plant, Flanders' heavy-handed methods irritate the other employees, especially Homer. That night, Homer prays for Flanders to be fired, which occurs the next day after he suggests Mr. Burns give money to charity. Flanders takes on several more jobs, including a harbor cruise dance instructor, a photographer for Rolling Stone Magazine, and a roadside bible salesman, but fails each time and becomes depressed. Marge suggests Flanders follow Jesus's example and be a teacher, leading him to become a substitute teacher at Springfield Elementary. He is quickly overwhelmed by all of the disobedient students in Bart's class, and resigns after Bart is peer-pressured by Nelson into spitballing his mustache.

Homer and Bart go to Moe's to discuss their ruining Flanders' life, and later to Flanders' house to apologize and convince him to return to teaching. Flanders is hesitant, but Bart convinces him by reminding him of his former teacher, Flanders' deceased wife Edna. Bart and Flanders then organize a plan to get the students to be obedient. Using a series of tricks by Bart, he and Flanders are able to pacify the students by creating supposed acts of God that frighten them. Flanders is instilled with a newfound confidence, and thanks Bart for his help.

Reception

Dennis Perkins of The A.V. Club gave this episode a D+, stating, "’Left Behind’ is about everything and nothing. To be more accurate, this record-setting episode begins being about more than a half-dozen things, and then never pays off a single one. An oil-in-water quality suffuses episodes like this, the half- (at best) realized plot lines too insubstantial to register for moments past their half-assed completion."[1]

"Left Behind" scored a 4 share and was watched by 2.15 million people, making it Fox's highest rated show of the night.[2]
