The “South Park” Season 28 finale brought Christmas cheer to the small Rocky Mountain town and saw Donald Trump and Satan’s baby meet an untimely demise.
At the episode’s climax, Trump, JD Vance, Peter Thiel and Pete Hegseth prepared for a showdown in the hospital against Stan, the Christmas Critters and Jesus over the fate of Satan’s unborn child. However, just as the battle was about to commence, a doctor rushed in with some bad news.
“We looked at the ultrasound, and it appears that at some point when nobody was watching, the baby hung itself and took its own life,” the doctor said. Pulling out his phone, he added, “I’m afraid you can see it all in the video. The baby got hold of some bedsheets. There are a couple of minutes missing from the ultrasound, but it’s definitely a suicide.”
The anticlimactic punchline is most likely a reference to the death of convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. In 2019, while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, Epstein hung himself in his cell at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center. However, the surveillance recording is missing the part when he actually committed the act of suicide, leading some to speculate about the circumstances of his death.
At the end of the episode, Trump throws a lavish party in celebration of his baby’s death, while Satan, completely dejected, packs up his things and leaves the White House.
“South Park” Seasons 27 and 28 have been some of the most exposive in recent memory, revolving mostly around the Trump administration and the president’s tumultuous relationship with Satan. Highlights from Season 27 and 28 include Trump running through the desert naked, Kristi Noem’s ICE raiding a production of “Dora the Explorer Live” and Cartman vomiting all over Palantir co-founder Thiel. From start to finish, “South Park” received backlash from the White House and from members of the Trump administration, but never from the president himself.
