OK episode as future tales go, although the points (of not necessarily assigning imperative status to college, and of the not-quite-titular reconciliation) were a little buried. My expectations for these have been low since season 11.

DYN:
...another TV-14-LV (for pot references? or...)?
...a Wilhelm scream for some reason soon after Lisa's inauguration?

Previous episode stuff
2F15: Futuretelling framing device with tarot cards
BABF13: Several things seem to connect directly to this continuity, including Lisa as president and the implication of who she follows (though now it seems to imply that that particular officeholder got back in), although pot *is* legal in this version
of Bart bursting into the Oval Office
5F02: The Fly transport pod lookalikes between back yards seem to be the same as in this TOH
AABF03: SVT's dramatic repetition of "Brown--Brown--Brown" (the university) sounds quite familiar, though it may not actually be an intended callback

Meta
Springfield is in a strangely-shaped state in the plains, and George Stephanopolous clearly mumbles his way through naming it

In loving memory
People are just dropping like flies! Tonight, we honor Olympia Dukakis, who died last week and lent her voice to the show in season 13, with a screenshot from DABF09 (The Old Man and the Key).

In apathetic not-quite-so-much memory
Two recent reruns dropped their dedications: the 4/25 airing of QABF06 (Wad Goals), which originally honored Marc Wilmore, and the 5/2 airing of QABF08 (Do Pizza Bots...), which first ran with a nod to David Richardson (both behind-the-scenes guys
primarily).

Bills to pay, dead-end job, problems with the wife
Or the first, anyway: two different recent reruns got time compressed by about 30 seconds, just enough to sell one more commercial...
QABF07 airing 2, 4/25 at 8:00(!), while the 7:00 rerun that night ran full-length (both originally clocked in at about 21:30)
QABF10 airing 2 tonight, 5/9 at 7:00, down from about 21:40
