I really wasn't expecting a death this season. But if they feel like killing off a character, may as well be a character that few people know about and isn't very major.
First of all, I'm never really a fan when they randomly put in a song about the subject. Typically it just doesn't work out very well. But the animation they did during the song was gorgeous.
I loved the scene where they were fighting in the hotel room as to where Larry is now. I loved all their ideas (But I was NOT expecting Homer to take the religious route!) and I love Moes reaction to the gems in the urn and everyone's reaction to finding out they were there!
I really wasn't expecting the trooper to arrest all four of them, and he just shoved him in the trunk (that was actually in the front!) and I also really wasn't expecting him to be affiliated with the Mafia.
Larry "saving" Homer shocked me! And where the waterfall actually was made me happy because everyone could connect at their favorite place.
I guess it's just your typical modern Simpsons episode. Not one of the best episodes of all time, but like most Simpsons episodes, they are solid.
