In South Park season 9 episode 9, titled "Marjorine," the boys are on a mission to discover a mysterious secret held by the girls in their class. The group believes that the girls are holding a slumber party to discuss secret information, and they decide to infiltrate it. However, the only way for the boys to do so is to pretend to be girls themselves. They come up with a plan to create a fake persona named Marjorine, and convince the girls that she is one of their own.
The boys set out to make Marjorine the most convincing girl possible, with Cartman taking the lead on the operation. He dresses up as a professional makeup artist and gives Marjorine a full makeover. He also creates a fake diary for her to use as part of her cover story. The boys are surprised and impressed by how naturally Marjorine fits in with the girls at the slumber party. However, as the night unfolds, it becomes clear that the girls are not discussing anything particularly secretive.
Meanwhile, Butters is worried about Marjorine's safety, and makes his own attempts to infiltrate the party to protect her. He disguises himself as a girl and attempts to gain entry to the party, but is ultimately unsuccessful. As the boys continue their mission, Marjorine's secret is accidentally revealed, leading to some unexpected twists and turns.
Throughout the episode, the show draws on themes of gender and identity, with the boys struggling to fit in as girls and Butters questioning his own sense of self. The episode also includes several references to classic horror films, adding a creepy and suspenseful vibe to the storyline.
Overall, "Marjorine" is a hilarious and insightful episode that touches on important social issues while remaining true to the show's irreverent sense of humor.
