Another development within the community will turn into a conflict in “South Park” season 22 episode 9. Stephen (Trey Park) and other company workers go on strike and they later face the consequences.

“South Park” season 22 episode 9 is titled “Unfulfilled” which may have several meanings. The episode will focus on the opening of an Amazon Fulfillment Center making South Park a “company town.”

Obviously, the jobs offered mainly include fulfilling and packaging Amazon orders. But since the workers are going on strike in “South Park” season 22 episode 9, it could paralyze the operations leading to many "unfulfilled" orders.

Meanwhile, the episode summary and promo video offer another apparent meaning of the title. Before staging the protests, Amazon presumably has "unfulfilled" promises or compensation for the workers leading to the protests in “South Park” season 22 episode 9.

“South Park” season 22 episode 9 features yet another topical storyline. Interestingly, the episode will be released shortly after GM workers in plants across North America have staged strike protests following the announcement of massive layoffs. But the promo video assures fans that the show will not fail to apply comedy in handling such political topics.

In the official promo video for “South Park” season 22 episode 9, a sulking Stephen goes home to Linda (Mona Marshall) and Butters (Matt Stone). The patriarch says that majority of the workers vote to continue with the strike. He also mentions there will be “violence” between the company and the striking workers.

Not Amazon Prime Members Anymore

The citizens of South Park are enjoying all the perks of being a company town when the Amazon Fulfillment Center moves in. It's part of an all-new episode titled, “Unfulfilled”, premiering Wednesday, December 5 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central

However, the pun lies in Stephen’s priorities and fans can observe that in the “South Park” season 22 episode 9 promo video. He visibly becomes sadder when delivering the news that Amazon punished the South Park workers by removing their Amazon Prime memberships. “We’re no Amazon USDA choice,” Stephen continues.

“South Park” season 22 episode 9 will be released on cable TV on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central. But fans have other options to watch the animated comedy series. New episodes will be streaming on Hulu, Comedy Central mobile app, and the official South Park Studios website.
