The Return of Chef (South Park)

Story Summary
Old video footage shows Cypher being trapped in a bunker, recording his last words until the video feed shuts off. Meanwhile, Segaboy finds Wiiteen out of town and still alive. Segaboy tries to get Wiiteen to come back but he refuses at first until Segaboy brings him something to review together. However, even after, he still doesn't want to leave. Segaboy informs him that a general named Malin took over their town for several months and has Cypher held hostage. Then, Wiiteen agrees to go with him to stop the general and save Cypher.

Thoughts on the Episode
Chef's departure from the show was definitely an ugly one. They use old clips of Chef so they don't have to bother bringing Issac Hayes (the actor who played Chef) back, create a confusing plot around it, kill him off very brutally, and put the blame on the members of Scientology, who they made fun of enough to make Hayes leave. If anything, the writers should be blamed not only for this episode but for making Hayes leave in the first place.

My Personal Thoughts
The review itself took several months to complete due to time constraints and the story was based off tragic events that happened in real life that almost got the show cancelled. This is the first episode that uses its new animation style.
