Homer the Reluctant Soul continues... Homer: I was brought back to court and told the judge my whole story...being a shepherd, surviving Pompeii, getting mugged, held captive as a slave, then escaping with Speranza. He was outraged and ordered the arrest of Signora Spietato, as enslavement of a Roman citizen is a very serious crime... ...Punishable by death. Homer: But I was still facing the witchcraft accusation... Judge: Unless you prove you're not a sorcerer, the girl will be hunted down, too. Homer: But how can I do that? Judge: Well...there is an ancient test... Homer: Whatever it is... ...I'll do it.
What does this catapult test, anyway? A witch’s ability to throw themselves at the ground and miss?
