WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for South Park's Season 23 episode, "Tegridy Farms Halloween Special."

In the annals of South Park, poor young Butters Stotch has endured more than his share of toxic relationships. His constant role as sidekick to Eric Cartman takes center stage, but he's also had bad dynamics with Professor Chaos (his evil alter ego) and even Paris Hilton, who once kidnapped him and made him her pet.

But in Season 23's Halloween special, Butters gets his worst one yet, courtesy of a mummy he awakes from slumber at a Denver museum.

Butters is on a fourth-grade tour to complete the sticker book he has for the exhibit. Pretending to be Indiana Jones, he comes to the mummy of Took-Tan-ra, only for the elderly museum employee to warn Butters that it houses an "ancient love curse." He urges Butters not to put Took-Tan-ra's stamp in his book, but he does anyway. That, naturally, leads to the mummy paying a visit to Butters' bedroom that same night.

The boy is initially horrified, but realizes the undead creature merely wants a hug, and offers Butters a FitBit device. Butters is grateful, but informs Took-Tan-ra he already has one, but he will give this one to a friend. Took-Tan-ra becomes enraged and trashes the bedroom before storming out. The rampage results in five deaths and extensive property damage, triggering a visit by South Park's police, who reveal the mummy told them about the "argument" he had with Butters. They're convinced that was abuse, and admonish Butters for his "hurtful" conduct toward Took-Tan-ra.

It blows Butters' mind that the mummy is viewed as the victim. He's told there's no "curse," he just needs to stop being a dick. The police also inform Butters he must pay for part of the damage caused by the mummy, and advise him and Took-Tan-ra stay away from each other, for their own good. More attacks follow, and when Butters meets with the school counselor, Mr. Mackey, he's told the mummy already warned them that the boy would lie about what happened. Mr. Mackey and just about everyone in town become sympathetic to the creature, and Butters is turned into a social pariah. Even his friends -- Cartman, Kenny, Stan and Kyle -- tell him he's at fault for complaining about the endless texts and selfies from the mummy. They think Butters is inconsiderate, not understanding the mummy is jealous, even after it shows up in a rage whenever he starts to have fun without him.

It's obviously harassment, but the mummy gaslights everyone into supporting his side of the story. They don't care about the crusades of destruction, they simply think Butters is mean for wanting space and saying Took-Tan-ra has grown too attached. When Butters is eventually jailed for the violence, he seems broken, admits to Stan's sister that he "manipulates the mummy with his passive-aggressive selfishness."

It's far from the truth, and when the cops later realize the Halloween chaos at Tegridy Farms isn't the mummy going berserk, they release Butters so he can make amends for sending them on a wild goose chase. He apologizes to the mummy, who leaves town, but not before resolving things with a note to Butters written in hieroglyphics that translates as, "I hope you can get the help you need. I can't fix you."

Starring Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park Season 23 airs Wednesdays at 10 pm ET/PT on Comedy Central.
