* BigBadEnsemble: Randy Marsh, Mickey Mouse, Harrison Yates, and President Garrison all share the role of main villain for this episode. Randy is responsible for causing the COVID-19 pandemic by having sex with a pangolin and his attempts at creating a cure end up making this worse. But he had sex with the animal at the urging of Mickey Mouse, who is now trying to have Randy killed to hide his own role in the pandemic. Harrison Yates [[{{Profiling}} shoots Token Black]], leading to everyone in the school getting quarantined, and uses the children's attempt to escape as an excuse to shoot more of them. President Garrison intentionally destroys a potential cure for the COVID-19 virus because it suits his purposes to let it continue.
