Added DiffLines:

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Veronica's fatal mistake is to out herself as a succubus for an ImpliedDeathThreat ''seconds'' after the boys had accepted that Chef should be with the woman he loves.


Added DiffLines:

* HornyDevils: Technically Veronica - [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin just look at the episode title]]. Subverted in that, despite wanting to feed on the eternally horny Chef, she does so by brainwashing him into a taking a more traditional social role, e.g. taking a corporate job, and switching out his Soul Music flavor for nasally white-guy romantic ballads (essentially erasing most of Chef's identity).


Added DiffLines:

* MagicMusic: Veronica uses a HollywoodToneDeaf cover of "The Morning After" as a hypnosis catalyst. Singing it backwards is enough to banish her back to hell.
* NearVillainVictory: Veronica would've gotten away with everything if she'd just left well enough alone. Then again, [[StupidEvil she's a demon]] and [[EvilCannotComprehendGood probably didn't realize that appealing to the boys' empathy was sufficient]].

Chef hasn't been in the school cafeteria lately, and it turns out that he's engaged to a woman named Veronica. When the boys tell Mr. Garrison about it, he believes that Veronica is a succubus. The boys shortly find this out when Veronica threateningly tells them that she'll marry Chef and that there's "not a goddamn thing they can do about it". When the boys tell Chef that Veronica is a succubus, she bursts into tears and Chef calls them out. The boys find out on how to stop Veronica by singing her love song backwards.

Meanwhile, Cartman develops astigmatism and is forced to go to the eye doctor, who he hates because the doctor cracks fat jokes.
