After a [[PreviouslyOn recap of the previous episode]] by "Lady [=McCormick=]" (Caitlin Gallogly doing her best Creator/EmiliaClarke impression), we see the UsefulNotes/XboxOne army training for the upcoming battle. Grand Wizard Cartman is not convinced of their chances, so he decides to call in the big guns: Creator/MicrosoftStudios. However, [[OnlySaneMan CEO Steve Ballmer sees the battle for what it is]]: just the latest phase in the console wars, not an epic battle of life and death, and refuses to get involved. His refusal comes at a heavy price; Bill Gates comes to his office to discuss the situation, only to have an assassin stab Ballmer with a dagger while he is distracted, insisting that [[XMustNotWin the only acceptable outcome is for Microsoft to crush their competition]].
Meanwhile, the Black Friday crowds outside South Park Mall are growing thanks to the discount being raised from 80% to 90%, and Randy reads a eulogy for another dead security guard before going outside and ordering the crowds to stay off mall property. They respond by [[ZombieGait walking toward it very slowly]] (in the style of White Walkers) so that they won't arrive until Black Friday.
The parodies of garden betrayal scenes in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' continue as Cartman instructs Paladin Butters to take Scott Malkinson to New Mexico to personally ask Creator/GeorgeRRMartin about how the story of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' introduces dragons and zombies as a potential source of strategies for their upcoming battle. Next, he takes Sir Kyle through the garden and tries to persuade him to betray Stan to his parents, informing him of Randy's temporary security guard job. Finally, once Bill Gates has pledged his assistance and supplied arms to the Xbox One camp, Cartman takes ''him'' through the garden to remind him that he's merely an advisor, and Cartman is the real leader of the army... and is confused when Gates uses the same speech he has given Kenny, Butters, and Kyle purporting to include only them in his purely self-serving schemes.
But the UsefulNotes/Playstation4 camp is getting outside aid as well; Channel 9 news reporter Niles Lawson, in a bid to stir up tensions in the console wars, tells the Creator/{{Sony}} president of the latest developments (after first having sex with him), and he travels to South Park to give Lady [=McCormick=] a brooch officially conferring princess powers on "her". At last, Kenny's dreams of being a princess are realised, complete with an ArtShift to an {{Animesque}} style.
With Butters being driven insane by Martin's obsession with male genitals and lack of details about dragons or zombies (while Scott is fading from consciousness due to low blood sugar), he finally gets through to him about the Black Friday console wars, and Martin decides to call in some favours. Back in South Park, we see the results of his phone calls: Black Friday has been postponed by a week and the discounts increased to 96%, to the horror of Randy and the mall security guards.
