South Park: Joining the Panderverse

Fourth-grader Eric Cartman is transported into Universe 216-B, a world populated entirely by racially diverse women. In his own universe, his counterpart from 216-B takes his place. The swap sets the stage for a clash of worlds and identities.

Randy Marsh struggles to find a repairman to fix his oven door, triggering a town-wide repair boom. He learns that every handyman in town has become extremely wealthy due to increased demand. The incident reveals a quirky economic ripple in South Park.

At Disney, Bob Iger and his board sense something 'different' about Kathleen Kennedy, who resembles Cartman. Her practice of shoehorning racially diverse women into productions has led to repeated box-office disappointments. The tension foreshadows a larger exchange of universes.

The real Kathleen Kennedy enters Universe 216-B and confronts Cartman, explaining that she was replaced after using the Panderstone. She reveals the mechanism behind the collision of their worlds. The meeting marks the start of a cross-world crisis.

Kennedy explains that overreliance on the Panderstone created instability, which opened a portal between worlds. The device ended up swapping the Kennedys and pulling Cartman into 216-B's reach. The balance of power shifts dramatically as the device spirals out of control.

In the portal chaos, the Cartman-linked Kennedy and the Earth Kennedy blame each other for the crisis. They want to assign responsibility for the disrupted film industry and the cross-world incident. The blame trap delays a practical solution.

Cartman and Kennedy realize they inadvertently created each other and mutually apologize. The moment signals a turning point toward cooperation rather than conflict. They acknowledge their shared responsibility for the current mess.

Bob Iger and his advisers deduce that the two Kennedys have been swapped and decide to intervene. They travel to South Park to meet Randy and his neighbors, recognizing that unconventional help is needed. The plan shifts from blame to restoration.

In Randy's home, the group reconstructs the portal using Randy's broken oven and the Panderstone. They intend to send the adult female Cartman counterpart back to Universe 216-B while returning Cartman and the Earth Kennedy to their own universe. The risky ritual requires careful timing and cooperation.

The swap is undone: Cartman returns to his universe with the real Kennedy by his side, and the Cartman-like Kennedy steps back to Universe 216-B. The world breathes a sigh of relief as the universes regain their rightful inhabitants. Disney briefly learns a lesson about overreliance on cliches.

The Cartman-like Kathleen Kennedy is restored to Universe 216-B. The two Kennedy identities are finally separated as each resumes their respective roles in their own worlds. The balance in the Disney system is restored, and original content becomes the norm again.

Randy's town benefits from dozens of new handymen who restore homes and fix everyday problems, easing the community's daily frictions. Meanwhile, Kennedy informs Disney colleagues that from now on they will focus on original content rather than pandering to trends. The crisis ends with practical fixes and a commitment to quality.
