Holy sh**, you guys.
Cartman's final line of the episode summarizes this season thus far. Things really have gone to sh** in South Park this season, with a gender war underway, a confusing presidential debate on going and a race to catch a destructive troll before it's too late. This episode seriously ramped up the stakes, and there are certainly some big revelations yet to be made.
We start off with the troll skankhunt42 still running rampant, seemingly unstoppable and causing chaos throughout the town and beginning to affect the world as a whole. Last week, we saw a Danish olympian become involved in the war against Gerald's online persona. Gerald continues to target her and her status as a breast cancer survivor, before things are taken to the next level when she commits suicide. Not realizing how far this could go, Gerald freaks out, destroying his phone and computer, attempting to get as far away from this as possible. It doesn't turn out well for him, as it appears a mystery person has discovered his identity, with Denmark also on the warpath. Gerald, it seems, is screwed, and has been pushed into a very tight corner. It should be very interesting to find out just who this mystery person might be, as he or she will likely reveal their identity next episode.
The fallout from the boys attack on Cartman last episode is still being felt in a major way this episode. We see Cartman start to get very close with Heidi Turner, the girl who destroyed her phone last week, with the two bonding over their lack of social media presence. It's hard to believe that Cartman doesn't have an plan, and Heidi is likely crucial to it. It's entirely possible that Cartman is manipulating everything going on in the school, and wanted his devices destroyed just so he could get close to Heidi. At this point, anything is possible.
Finally, the presidential debate is still continuing forward, with a few scenes to continue the storyline in this episode. We see Garrison's attempts to sabotage his own campaign continue to fail as his opponent, the un-named Turd Sandwich, unable to actually secure any support. Randy is sucked into the debate, coming to the realization that everything sucks. He then stumbles upon an even bigger realization, as he begins to understand the impact that the "member berries" may be playing in this. It's clear this is an over-arching story, unlikely to be finished anytime soon, though the tension is definitely getting high.
8/10
Although most of the stories are very broad, South Park continues to deliver quality content, building to a big finish. Although last year's storyline fell a little short, I have confidence that this season may go down as one of the best in history.
