Love is a Many-Splintered Thing

Love is a Many-Splintered Thing (RABF07) is a season 24 episode, that will air in 2013, most likely around Valentine's Day.

It will guest star Zooey Deschanel as Mary Spuckler, who has appeared in two episodes, including "Moonshine River" earlier in the season. Mary returns to Springfield to see Bart, but he doesn't pay her enough attention, which strains their relationship. It will also guest star Benedict Cumberbatch playing both the British Prime Minister and a "snake-like character." Political biographer Robert A. Caro and former Conan O'Brien bandleader Max Weinberg will guest star as themselves.
