The Simpsons continues its historic run with an all-new adventure as The Simpsons Season 37 Episode 7, titled “Sashes to Sashes,” airs Sunday, Nov. 16 (8:00–8:31 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The world’s longest-running primetime scripted series delivers a sharp, satirical, and politically charged episode that pulls Bart and Lisa into the orbit of Springfield’s most notorious political dynasty: the Quimbys.

In “Sashes to Sashes,” Bart launches a bold bid for student council president, but he quickly finds himself up against a formidable rival — the son of Mayor Quimby. Suddenly, what should be a small school election turns into a chaotic political circus filled with smear campaigns, backroom deals, and slogans that sound suspiciously like Springfield’s city hall speeches. As Bart navigates the pressures of popularity, strategy, and responsibility, he discovers that winning votes in Springfield is never simple.

Meanwhile, Lisa Simpson takes on the role of investigative journalist when she uncovers troubling and long-buried secrets about the Quimby family. Her discoveries lead her into a morally complex story with twists that connect unexpectedly back to the Simpsons themselves. Her storyline brings mystery, satire, and social commentary — trademarks of some of the show’s most beloved Lisa-centric episodes.

Written with the witty, layered humor that defines the series, Episode 7 continues The Simpsons’ ability to reflect modern culture through the absurdity of Springfield life. From campaign drama to family revelations, “Sashes to Sashes” blends character-driven comedy with political parody, making it a standout installment of the season.
