Plot
The boys raise concern over Mint Berry Crunch's super powers. Mysterion boldly states that "I can't die." In an attempt to prove his point, Mysterion pulls out a handgun and shoots himself in the head. Despite their initial shock, the boys strangely forget Mysterion's death ever occurred after he returns which leaves him upset.Cartman orders Cthulhu to banish the heroes to R'lyeh. In order to leave the city, Mysterion commits suicide by jumping into a pit of deadly spikes. Kenny awakens back in his bed and dons his Mysterion outfit, setting off to learn more about Cthulhu and his own powers in order to save his friends. He discovers that Cthulhu can only be killed by another immortal.
Followed by Mint Berry Crunch, Mysterion finds Cthulhu at a Justin Bieber concert, having just killed the musician. Mysterion offers Cthulu an easy win if he brings his friends back, believing himself to be immortal due to a recurring gag in the show in which Kenny is repeatedly killed. A bright light descends from the air as Cthulu departs, and a man appears inside, who explains that he is from a faraway planet, and sent his son to Earth to stop evil from taking over the Earth using the “power of mint and berries with a satisfying crunch”. Bradley drags Cthulhu back to the dimension from which he came, saving the other heroes. Mysterion, disappointed that he did not learn anything about his true past and identity, says he is going to bed and shoots himself in the head. That night, his mother gives birth to another new baby Kenny. After placing the newborn Kenny in his bed, his parents lament ever going to "that stupid cult meeting."
