Did anyone see the new South Park episode last Wednesday about the opioid epidemic?

Can u summarize the story?

The elderly sell their unwanted prescription opiods to South Park, which causes "local entertainers" (Chuck E. Cheese) to overdose.

What would you say the moral to the episode was? It makes sense that the dealers were the old folks trading their pills for figurines, but I'm lost as to why the the addicts were portrayed as local entertainers. I guess I'm slow. Haha.

I think it might be they are trying to say nobody (the kid) cares about the problem until it hurts someone they know (the entertainers)

Good observation SheWasLvL18! I think you're right.
