* TheBadGuyWins: Though [[OmnicidalManiac Lennart Bedrager]] gets killed and the damage he did reversed, every other villain ends the season in a better position than they were in at the beginning: Gerald is safe from being exposed as skankhunt42 [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse (meaning the boys and girls will likely never reconcile)]], the Member Berries are still active and have [[PresidentEvil Mr. Garrison]] and most of the residents of South Park under their control, and even Cartman gets to stay with Heidi, who will now never know what he ''really'' thinks of women.

** Gerald, [[UpToEleven in the biggest way possible]]. The Internet and all its history get destroyed at the exact moment Sheila looks up his history on Troll Trace, meaning she never finds out he is skankhunt, thus, most likely, preventing him from facing her wrath. Despite the fact that he caused multiple people [[FelonyMisdemeanor to quit social media]], started a gender war (which is still unresolved), drove a beloved Danish celebrity to commit suicide and gave the season's BigBad the excuse he needed to get the Danish to build [=TrollTrace=] and start World War III, [[NearVillainVictory which very nearly happened]]. Instead, he gets a happy ending, with only Kyle and Ike being mad at him. Seriously, everyone who knew the truth, ''even'' the Danish, forgives him.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Subverted. Gerald returns home once his internet history is destroyed and Sheila is none the wiser, but some changes made in the season still remain. Kyle and Ike have lost all respect for their dad now that they know the truth, Mr. Garrison is still president, Cartman and Heidi are still together, the other boys and girls are still broken up, Butters still doesn't trust girls, and Craig's parents' relationship is strained after Laura saw Thomas's online activity. Many of the hanging plot threads can be chalked up to the need to severely re-write the second half of the season following [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Donald Trump's unexpected victory.]]
