Appearances=== ==Locations== This episode has fewer locations than many recent episodes, taking place almost entirely within [[South Park Elementary]] and the [[Marsh Residence]]. {{Location list | Name = South Park Elementary | Image = http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/shared/locations/school.jpg }} {{Location list | Name = Marsh Residence | Image = http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/shared/locations/marsh-house.jpg }} {{Location list | Name = Black Residence | Image =

==Continuity Nods== *[[Henrietta Biggle|Henrietta]] and [[Bradley Biggle|Bradley]]'s mother, [[Harriet Biggle|Mrs. Biggle]], who debuted way back in season 7's "[[Raisins]]", is finally granted a name here -- '''Harriet Biggle'''! *The Marshes' Living Room remains renovated with an open concept kitchen and dining area from "[[White People Renovating Houses]]". **When Sharon and Randy meet in the yard, she uses a back door rather than the sliding doors usually seen on South Park homes. Time will tell if this is a permanent change. *Sharon's therapist previously appeared back in season 15's "[[T.M.I.]]", where he was Randy's anger management therapist. *Token and Nichole are trying to make their relationship work again, although she denies that they're dating and insists the reason for their breakup is none of Cartman's business. **Token and Nichole were dating from season 16's "[[Cartman Finds Love]]" until season 20's "[[Skank Hunt]]", when all of the girls broke up with their boyfriends... they seem to be the first couple to get back together so far. **Nichole isn't so willing to put up with Cartman's behavior, having learned her lesson when he tricked her in her debut episode. ==Behind The Scenes== In this episode, Mona Marshall reprises the voice of [[Laura Tucker]]. She and Elise Gabriel alternate her voice depending on the episode. ===Where Did The Idea Come From=== ==Pop Culture References== *When Token says he never saw ''Black Panther'', Cartman responds by quoting African-American sitcom catchphrases: **"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?" was made iconic by Gary Coleman as Arnold Jackson on ''Diff'rent Strokes''. It was previously referenced in "[[Cartoon Wars Part I]]" **"Come on, Raj" is from the '70's sitcom ''What's Happening?''. *Cartman's 'Private Investigator' storyline, particularly his internal monologue, has been compared to ''Columbo'' and ironically, Marvel's own ''AKA Jessica Jones''. ===Shout Outs=== *Randy can be seen drinking John Adams beer, a reference to the better-known ''Samuel Adams'' beer. These men were, in fact, second cousins. ===Pwn'd=== *Cartman derides the superhero film ''Black Panther'', claiming it's a "structural mess" and unoriginal, comparing it to the ''The Lion King''. ==Bonus Factoids== *Fan response to this episode on social media was swift with reactions to Stan being "shot" off-screen at the end of the episode; some fans worried for his safety, while others shared memes and jokes suggesting he would be killed off. ===Pointless Observations=== *This is the second time in just a few episodes, since last season's "[[Doubling Down]]", that Cartman's ended up at the [[Black Residence]], chatting kindly with Token's parents despite their son's annoyance. ===Errors and Goofs=== *When the parents are meeting in the [[Marsh Residence]] living room, Steve and Linda Black once again revert to their original appearances. (Notice Linda's sleeves disappear.) They're fine when we see them at home later. *During the sequence after the last school shooting, when Sharon delivers her speech, [[Richard Tweek]] and [[Ryan Valmer]]'s sleeves disappear due to the usage of the blanket and cocoa prop overlays. Ryan also has some shadows on his bare arms. ==Season 22== ;e1 [[Dead Kids]] ;e2 [[A Boy and a Priest]] ;e3 [[TBA]] ;e4 [[TBA]] ;e5 [[TBA]] ;e6 [[TBA]] ;e7 [[TBA]] ;e8 [[TBA]] ;e9 [[TBA]] ;e10 [[TBA]] Templates used on this page: Template:Episode Infobox (view source) Template:Location list (view source) Return to Dead Kids.
