A few bits and bobs from the opening two minutes and twenty five seconds of this episode.

This lady's snazzy dress stuck out for me, so here she is, forever immortalised. Congratulations, old lady with dog, you made it!

As we established yesterday, we cannot say for sure that this kid is Abe, nor can we 100% say that is his mother, I suppose. But is it Great Grandma Simpson, she looks extremely different from her appearance in "Much Apu About Nothing":
She actually speaks in that one, so we'll see her again someday. The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album says her name is "Yuma Hickman", but I still do not accept this as canon.
And lastly, because this week is apparently heavy on Simpsons family lore, here's Snowball I:

This sort of hammers home the joke that Snowball II is named Snowball despite being black, although Snowball I looks a little grey here. In flashback scenes, surprising attention to detail and continuity is shown in making her white, when most viewers would not question her being black, such as in season 9's "Lisa's Sax":

It is unclear if Snowball I ever actually voted for Sideshow Bob.
