| ==Story==
| |
| | |
| ===Description===
| |
| The second half of the first-season cliffhanger finds most of South Park's male population still nervously awaiting Dr. Mephesto's DNA test results. But just as they're about to be revealed, the lights go out and Mephesto is shot twice. Chef rushes him to the hospital.
| |
| A crew from America's Most Wanted promptly shows up and prepares to do a segment on the crime. At the hospital Dr. Doctor and his nurse, the armless Nurse Goodley, manage to stabilize the still-unconscious Mephesto. Meanwhile, a powerful snowstorm traps the America's Most Wanted crew in a TV studio, along with a large group of locals reenacting the shooting. Almost immediately (and in spite of the fact that they've only been without food for a few hours) they resort to cannibalism. Soon much of the Most Wanted crew and studio audience is consumed, along with the townies who aren't recurring characters.
| |
| Power goes out at the hospital, and Kenny is sent on a dangerous solo mission to restore it. Not surprisingly, he's electrocuted. The power returns and Mephesto regains consciousness. He says the shooter was probably his brother, who tries to kill him once a month. The potential dads gather at the hospital to find out who fathered Cartman.
| |
| It turns out none of them did. Eric's mom is a hermaphrodite with both male and female genitals. She impregnated another woman, raising the question of who Cartman's mother might be. Cartman, disgusted, drops the matter.

| ==Pop Culture References==
| |
| ===Shout Outs===
| |
| Kenny's quest to restore the hospital's power mirrors a similar scene in Jurassic Park. Also Cartman offers a stirring rendition of Come Sail Away by Styx (he admits that if he hears the first part of that song, he has to finish it).
| |
| | |
| When the power gets cut out during the feed of America's Most Wanted, they switch over to their feature movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
| |
| | |
| Dr. Doctor enlists Chef's help in the operating room after Chef admits he "used to watch Quincy". This is a reference to "Quincy M.E", a medical drama from the late 70s.
| |
| | |
| John Walsh, the host of America's Most Wanted, also makes a cameo.
| |
| | |
| ===Pwn'd===
| |
| It's revealed that Chef owns a "Meredith Baxter-Birney memorial towel." Apparently Chef had sex with the former star of TVs Family Ties, then the two of them used the towel to freshen up.
| |
| | |
| Eric Roberts, star of the TV show "Less Than Perfect", plays the part of Dr. Mephesto's "little monkey guy" (aka Kevin) in the America's Most Wanted reenactment. He is also the first person to be cannibalized, as the Mayor puts it: "Nobody gives a shit about Eric Roberts".
| |
| | |
| ==Bonus Factoids==
| |
| | |
| ===Pointless Observations===
| |
| Mephesto's first name is Alphonse.
| |
| Kenny was killed in Part I of this double-episode after being run over by a train, but in the beginning of this show, he angelically materializes out of thin air. He dies again a few minutes later.
| |
| During the final scene, where all of Cartman's potential fathers are gathered, there's an alien present.
| |
| The scene in which the South Park residents draw straws to determine who gets eaten is from a deleted moment in Cannibal! The Musical. Also, when the survivors emerge from the TV studio, they're accompanied by Aaron Neville's version of Ave Maria, which played in the great cannibal movie Alive.
