"Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut" is the second episode of the second season of the American animated television series

Mephesto is suddenly shot, just as he is about to reveal the identity of Eric Cartman's father. The four boys and Chef
rush him to Hell's Pass Hospital while the town of South Park experiences a massive blizzard.

The episode aired after the season premiere, "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" was aired in its place three weeks earlier as an April Fools' Day prank. Upset viewers wrote over 2,000 complaints to Comedy Central within a week of its premiere date. In 2013, fans voted "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut" as the best episode of season two.[1]

Plot

Just as

Dr. Doctor
, and a nurse with no arms named Nurse Goodley; they are the only ones working in the hospital. He manages to get Mephesto on a life support system, but has many other patients to tend to. Outside, a terrible blizzard brews.

While the rest of the adults in town and a visiting television crew film a reenactment for America's Most Wanted, a tree falls on the power line causing the power to go out. All of the adults are now stuck in a building until the storm settles. After only a few hours of being trapped, the group hastily resort to cannibalism to survive, eating Eric Roberts and, in the following scenes, the America's Most Wanted film crew. The power also goes out back at the hospital, and a plan is enacted to restore it. Dr. Doctor suggests that they split into two teams: team A, consisting of everyone in the room except Kenny, and team B, consisting of Kenny. His job is to reconnect the generator in the cold, while team A give advice to him via walkie-talkie as they enjoy some hot cocoa and TV.

Once Kenny gets to the generator, he discovers that there is no wire connecting the cords, so he decides to make the connection himself to restore the electricity, fatally electrocuting himself in the process. Thanks to his brave deed, the power is restored and Mephesto survives. After casually revealing his shooter was his brother (who tries to kill him every month), he gathers everyone in the emergency room for the revelation of Cartman's father: his mother

Liane. Mephesto explains that Liane is a hermaphrodite
, someone with both male and female genitalia. He also reveals that hermaphrodites cannot have children, so Liane must have impregnated another woman on her intercourse spree. An angered Cartman then demands who his mother is, but when a narrator questions who his mother might be, he quickly refuses to pursue the issue any further.
