"South Park" Season 20 episode 2 titled "Skank Hunt" narrowed down on the show's storyline. As opposed to episode 1, this one is more entertaining because there are no many subplots for fans to be flooded with too many ideas.
"South Park" Season 20 episode 1 titled "Member Berries" started right from the Colin Kaepernick national anthem protest spoof, the United States elections with the renowned "Giant douche and Turd sandwich" arc, down to JJ Abrams doing a reboot of the anthem. The reboot came as a solution to all the "Member Berries."
However, "South Park" Season 20 episode 2 focuses on the enthusiasm of the society to social media and the way trolling on the Internet can cause harm. The episode began with a meeting at the South Park Elementary School, whereby parents had been asked to observe their children. It emerged that trolling the Internet had already disturbed the people of South Park.
Most people were bothered by Skank Hunt 42, who kept sending annoying messages and editing other people's pictures by putting a male organ on their mouths. Although the boys suspected Cartman, it turned out to be Ike's father, Gerald. A central question that should be answered in the next episode concerns the motives of Gerald.
Since Gerald is a great lawyer in South Park, nobody would actually believe he is Skank Hunt 42. "South Park" Season 20 episode 3 will most likely delve deeper into this subplot. Two to three chapters will be sufficient to cover the subplot since the entire show will only run 10 episodes.
It was surprising that Gerald even managed to reach a Danish breast cancer awareness website. He will be tracked, and if the truth comes out, Cartman will be free from allegations.
The boys discovered too late that Cartman did was not behind the message sending and picture editing saga, but they cannot bring back time. They already destroyed the electronics of Cartman.
Episode 2 essentially revealed the ugly side of social media. At the time Heidi chose to quit Twitter, it was as if she really was dismissed. Everyone has completely ignored her.
On the other hand, Mr. Mackey counseled Scott, who was about to quit Twitter. He said that there are so many posts and tweets coming. Here is a sneak peek for more information on what transpired in episode 2:
