The episode focuses on a situation involving Kyle Broflovski, his little brother, Ike, Eric Cartman, and the kindergarten teacher, Ms. Stevenson. The episode is rated TV-MA on Comedy Central and TV-14 for suggestive dialogue (D), offensive language (L), and sexual content (S) in syndication.

Plot

Cartman is taken to see Principal Victoria. He believes he is in trouble for telling the other boys he made another student sick, but is instead given "authoritah" as the new school hallway monitor. Cartman takes full advantage of his new job, such as by dressing and acting like "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and by bullying others and threatening them with bear spray. During his shift, Cartman finds a love drawing of Miss Stevenson (the kindergarten teacher) by Ike. After Miss Stevenson receives the drawing, she admits she too loves Ike, and the pair go on dates and even begin a sexual relationship.

One day, Kyle catches the pair together in the bathtub. He is shocked and tries to inform his parents, but Ike prevents Kyle from speaking. Kyle then tries to tell the police, but they ignore him after learning that the perpetrator is an attractive woman. Kyle finally informs Cartman, who ignores it until he catches Ike and Miss Stevenson kissing during class hours. Principal Victoria understands the crime and has Miss Stevenson arrested by the police. When the usually inarticulate Ike finds out that Kyle reported him, he quite clearly says, "You are dead to me Kyle."

Miss Stevenson dodges prison and gains public sympathy by claiming that she is an alcoholic and, after a quick trip to rehab, she kidnaps Ike with the intention of taking him to Milan. Cartman learns their plane leaves in the morning and infiltrates a hotel with Kyle and his crew. After Cartman sprays numerous innocent people with bear repellent, the staff phones the police. One of the crew members spots Miss Stevenson and Ike, and they follow them onto the roof with the police (who are pursuing Cartman). Upon seeing the police, Miss Stevenson tries to fulfill the suicide pact she had made previously with Ike by hurling themselves off the roof. After Kyle gives an impassioned speech, however, Ike reneges at the last second. Cartman then breaks the fourth wall by talking to the camera as the episode ends, revealing the entire scenario to be one of Cartman's videos.

• The episode draws attention to the tendency for female sex offenders to not be taken as seriously as male sex offenders, as many characters consider Ike to be lucky that his attractive teacher is having sexual relations with him.
• The episode debuted in the wake of the notorious case of teacher Mary Kay Letourneau, the attractive daughter of former California state senator, Republican Congressman and 1972 American Independent Party presidential candidate John G. Schmitz. She was jailed twice for an affair that started when her then-student was 12 years old. They were married, and she became Mary Kay Fualaau, after she was released following six years in prison in 2004.^[2]
