, the Marshes and Stan
are off to a party
at the home of School Counsellor Mr. Mackey. Stan is upset that he has to go and becomes even more angered when he is locked in a room with nerdy "Melvin" classmates that he does not like: Pip, Butters
, and Dougie. The three insist on playing Charlie's Angels
, and an unenthusiastic Stan uses the game to find a way out of the basement to an upstairs bedroom where there are cookies and TV. Meanwhile at the party, Mr. Mackey gives the Broflovskis and Marshes a tour of his home and leads them out to the hot tub
. The wives leave Randy and Gerald outside in the hot tub, who declare the present evening to be a night of experimenting. The two talk about threesomes and decide to masturbate in front of one another. This leads to awkwardness after Randy questions his sexuality.
The ATF
thinks that the party inside is a suicide cult
, and that they plan to kill themselves at the start of the meteor shower. Determined to prevent this they set up a blockade and prepare to open fire on the cult if they do not desist, the party-goers inside unaware of their presence. Stan and the kids discover what is happening and try to speak to the ATF, but are shot at and forced to flee back inside. The kids record a video tape showing that the party inside is not a cult, and the ATF realizes their mistake and flees after their secret weapon, a large rocket called "The Negotiator" fires and destroys every home in the neighborhood save for Mackey's. Inside, Randy is extremely uncomfortable being around Gerald, who is concerned about Randy's behavior. When Randy finally admits to the entire party that he and Gerald engaged in group masturbation, he is relieved upon discovering that he's not the only one to have masturbated in front of a person of the same sex. Outside, the boys rejoice their triumph of saving the day and Stan realizes that the others are just normal kids like him. All is forgotten, however, when Kyle
returns from Jewbilee
camp and Stan goes back to his old ways, telling Kyle that he had to "spend the evening with these friggin' Melvins".
