After a wild two-season run packed with political absurdity, demonic drama, and more than a few questionable love affairs, South Park closed out Season 28 with a finale that somehow managed to be outrageous, bleak, heartfelt, and ridiculously on-brand all at the same time. “The Crap Out” wrapped up the Trump–Satan storyline, pushed Stan to his emotional limit, and delivered one last wink from the heavens.
A Town Still Recovering and a Stan on the Brink
The episode opens with Stan Marsh wandering into the office of South Park Elementary’s guidance counsellor, none other than Jesus Christ, who has abandoned his classic divine glow in exchange for a modernised, hyper-woke, painfully shallow persona that feels like a parody of P.C. Principal filtered through a Sunday School filter.
Stan has had an awful run:; ICE raids across town, the loss of the Marsh family’s weed farm, and eventually their home. Every time he tries to talk through his crises, “New Jesus” responds with empty affirmations, hashtag-level spirituality, and a disturbing commitment to his silicone-enhanced girlfriend, Peggy Rockbottom. It’s spiritual guidance at its absolute lowest.
Unable to find comfort, Stan does what any kid raised in South Park chaos might do he wishes for a miracle hard enough to summon the town’s infamous woodland creatures. Yes, the very same deceptively fluffy, holiday-horror mascots from the show’s early seasons. Stan, in his desperation, forgets they’re demonic little murder machines beneath the fuzzy exterior and so begins the slow brew of trouble.
Satan Prepares for Delivery But Trump Has Better Plans
Meanwhile, in Washington, Satan is preparing for the birth of his child with Donald Trump; a pregnancy Fox News has labelled a “crap-out,” because of course they did. Satan, nervous and oddly tender, is getting ready for the big moment when he realises Trump has disappeared.
Turns out, Trump and his VP, J.D. Vance, have ditched the capital for a South Park heist mission: breaking their beloved Peter Thiel out of the town jail, where he’s been stuck with Pete Hegseth since the infamous Thanksgiving Turkey Trot fiasco. With the president and vice president out of town, the birth of the Antichrist is about to become a heavily unattended event.
Towelie Returns and He’s Got Receipts
Back at the White House, Satan continues prepping only to discover something deeply unsettling: Trump’s underwear is stained (no surprise), but tucked inside the laundry is Vance’s unmistakable blue jockstrap. The realization hits instantly, Trump has been secretly juggling his veep as a side lover.
And when Satan is trying to process this messy romantic betrayal, Towelie, missing for eight episodes, appears in the sink, drenched in who-knows-what and ready to deliver a full exposé of the chaos unfolding behind closed doors. The two set off together for South Park, determined to confront the president and settle the score before the impending demonic birth.
All Roads Lead to South Park
The convergence begins.
Trump, Vance, Thiel, and Hegseth are already in town. Satan and Towelie are racing to catch up. Stan is spiralling emotionally, while the woodland creatures lurk with sinister intent, and Jesus, now annoyingly holier-than-thou in the Instagram influencer kind of way, has fully aligned himself with Trump, praising him for “protecting the country from facts.”
Satan, unimpressed, calls Trump exactly what he is: a con man. But before the fight can escalate, Satan goes into labor, his contractions ignite panic, and he’s rushed to Hell’s Pass Hospital. There, between screams of pain and emotional confession, Satan laments his terrible taste in partners.
The woodland creatures, sensing opportunity, whisper to each other that Trump will always come out on top as long as Jesus is protecting him. The stage is set for a twisted, holiday-themed showdown.
A Hospital Battle That Never Happens
With Satan in the middle of childbirth, Trump and his loyal crew, Jesus included, charge into the hospital intending to destroy the Antichrist before it’s born. It’s classic South Park: a mob, a prophecy, a political figure, and a hospital hallway showdown.
But the fight never actually occurs.
Instead, Stan, despite his own problems, manages to give an unexpectedly uplifting speech. Something in his words finally pierces through Jesus’ delusional devotion. For the first time this season, Jesus rejects Trump and steps away from his side, and then the breaking news hits - the baby is gone.
A doctor reveals that Satan and Trump’s child was discovered dead, tragically hanging inside the womb. Even more suspiciously, the ultrasound footage is missing, in a callback to the eerie “lost footage” surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death. It's dark humor layered with a grim jab, and it lands exactly how South Park intended - unsettling yet absurd.
Trump Celebrates; Satan Walks Away
With the crisis magically resolved (at least from his point of view), Trump wastes no time returning to the White House to celebrate with his inner circle. He dances among his allies, basking in victory without a second thought for what just happened.
Satan, meanwhile, quietly packs up the nursery items he had lovingly prepared for the baby that would never be. His heartbreak is silent, heavy, and surprisingly human. Without drama, he walks out of the White House, leaving behind his doomed relationship with Trump. It’s the kind of bittersweet ending South Park rarely leans into, and it gives the story unexpected emotional weight.
A Final Gift from the Stars
Even with Satan and Trump’s storyline wrapped, the episode isn’t done.
The universe shifts back to Stan and Kyle.
Kyle’s home, the one taken earlier in the season, is suddenly returned to him, as if miraculously restored. And that miracle comes with a cosmic signature.
As Stan looks up at the night sky, Jesus appears among the stars, glowing in divine affirmation. He assures Stan that Kyle's wish has been granted, and floating beside him, equally illuminated, is Peggy Rockbottom, cementing her odd but undeniable place in Jesus’ new era.
It’s a quirky, sentimental final moment; equal parts blessing, parody, and South Park’s version of closure.
A Finale That Crapped Out
“The Crap Out” is everything a South Park finale should be: off-the-wall, morally chaotic, strangely emotional, and fearlessly satirical.
It tied up the Trump–Satan relationship with tragic humor, gave Stan and Kyle a beautifully weird celestial sendoff, and reminded viewers that even after decades on television, South Park still knows how to shock, amuse, and stab at the culture with sharp comedic precision.
Season 28 ends not with a bang, but with a cosmic wink and just enough hope to keep us eagerly waiting for whatever madness Season 29 brings.
