The episode weaves Thiel’s storyline into an ongoing arc featuring Donald Trump and JD Vance, mixing religious satire with current-events parody and the viral “6-7” meme.
The show previously took aim at Israeli politics this season, with a recent episode that featured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as covered by The Jerusalem Post’s South Park coverage. Entertainment outlets in the US reported that Thiel is portrayed as hunting for demonic influence among schoolchildren, while Jesus reappears to critique modern culture and faith.
The episode aired in the US on Wednesday night, with recaps noting it ends on a cliffhanger and sets up further installments later this month.
