According to Variety, South Park bring back the couple that is Craig and Tweek for a episode inspired by Heated Rivalry. The episode starts with an assembly at the school where the student body learns that some new “liberal changes” will be implemented after last week’s midterm elections.

“Of course, we could just go on and on and make a bunch of jokes about him, but it’s no fun punching down on a helpless loser,” said the principal via Variety. “So we’re just gonna sort of not do that this week, Ok?”

“So we’re just gonna sort of not do that this week, Ok?” The first liberal change is a PC Principal, who proclaims via Variety, “We are gonna get shit back on track!” “We are gonna be tolerant. We’re gonna be respectful of all races. We’re gonna have fucking sex changes for all fucking students. We’re gonna support fucking Palestine! And we are no longer going to forget about the minority and the gay students at this school.”

As per to Variety, the episode shows show Cartman telling Tweek how the crew forgot about Craig and Tweek’s anniversary. The couple themselves seem to have missed their own special day as Craig is too busy to remember because he joins a sports club. “Well, I mean, it’s just, they get new friends, and they’re all club sports friends, you know,” responds Cartman. “And they hang out in hotels together and go on trips. You ever seen that show, ‘Heated Rivalry,’ Tweek? Yeah, it’s not good. Those guys go at it pretty hardcore.”

According to Variety, this prompts Tweek to join South America Club Sports himself, so he and Craig can travel town to town and check into hotel rooms together. The episode shows that both actually hate being on the sports team. This is the first time both characters have been seen in the series in a while. Tweek hasn’t been seen since 2021 and Craig has not been featured in an episode since 2019.
