Towelie’s uncertain journey in D.C. continues: Towelie’s unresolved storyline remains a major focus. Episode 4 is expected to show how his connection with Trump and Satan evolves, potentially dragging him deeper into political absurdity and bureaucratic satire.
The boys face another political misadventure: Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny often get pulled into larger schemes. With the plot now tied to Washington, the group may be forced to navigate the chaos of government and power struggles, likely causing more disorder.
Cartman’s schemes escalate in a national setting: Cartman thrives when he manipulates others for personal gain. Episode 4 may see him using the political backdrop to push his own agenda, amplifying the season’s focus on satire of leadership and public figures.
