And then later at Homer's speech, where we get a better look at her.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about her is she exchanges a glance with our old friend Al Simmons.
Frankly, the whole Al Simmons mystery is far more interesting than this one appearance lady. Go read that.
I always feel a little bad when characters like this are so sparse on interesting content, I want you to feel like you haven't wasted your time reading this. So how about some random Simpsons trivia: do you know why the characters are yellow? It's because when he was personally inking and painting the cels for the first episode, Matt Groening leaned over his desk to grab a big sandwich and spilled all the flesh-coloured paint. He didn't have time to go get more (the episode was airing that evening), so he decided to make them all yellow instead! That's definitely true and I haven't wasted your time any further.

I think Al Simmons looks enough like Mr Burns to be another illegitimate son. It would explain why he got promoted to the board at the plant. Nepo baby.

Lindsay Naegle doesn't officially appear until season 8. There are a couple of proto-Naegles before then I think, but season 2 is probably a bit too early for that in my opinion - this character hardly makes an impact any dang way.

Can't remember her line or what her voice sounds like, but she reminds me of Lindsay Nagel, maybe an early version ?
