"Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who’s voiced by Lena Dunham." No word on how long the separation will last, but Jean also notes the show will also feature "cameos from the other women from Girls." Click for this week's other scary-sounding Simpsons news.
