* ApopheniaPlot: When Cartman sees that nobody is responding to him, he convinces himself that he's died and become a ghost, a thought further "proven" when he sees men seemingly carrying away his dead body in a box (actually plumbers having replaced his toilet) and hears his mother sobbing (actually her [[TheImmodestOrgasm having sex with one of the men]]). However, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop nobody told Butters about the pact]], so when he greets him like always, Cartman assumes that he can see him and talk to ghosts.
