Let me start by saying it was fun watching this episode. It's not a bad episode but it's not truly great either. The episode uses one story for Randy and one for Cartman. As we were promised that the serialization of the show would end. And that didn't happen this episode as I saw Cartman's story, in which he breaks up with Heidi, as sort of a closer to the previous season. Maybe Cartman will return to form, which we kind of started to see. Randy's story was even better. Not serialized, just classic South Park. Taking social issues like advancing technology replacing jobs and the recent hate marches in Virginia (though it didn't explicitly say it) and turning them into a ridiculous story about Randy's house flipping show in which he has the same idea every time and just hits walls with a sledgehammer. It was refreshing and hilarious. Sharon was also very reserved, as if she didn't like this idea of Randy's which may foreshadow trouble ahead for them. My only complaint is that Stan and Kyle had one line each and no story whatsoever. I realize this episode wasn't about them, but still let's not forget that they are main characters. Overall, fine episode, and my hopes for the season have not at all been diminished.
