At a town meeting Moe is mocked for having no friends. The suggestion that his bar rag is his best friend seems like a cheap joke but turns out to be the truth.

Welcome to The TV Critic.org. My name is Robin Pierson and I write critical reviews of U.S. TV shows and analyse what makes them good, bad, irritating and enlightening. The reviews are of course full of spoilers so don't read them if you haven't watched the episode.
