The latest episode of "South Park," titled "The Woman In The Hat," aired on Oct. 31 on Comedy Central.
"South Park" spoofed President Donald Trump's White House ballroom in its latest episode.

"South Park" is taking on President Donald Trump's White House renovations in a spooky new episode.

The animated show's latest installment, which aired on Halloween night, spoofed Trump's recent demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, as the series also continued a storyline in which Trump is in a romantic relationship with Satan and having a baby with him.

Near the start of the episode, titled "The Woman in the Hat," Trump is seen demolishing the White House's East Wing to make room for a ballroom, much to the chagrin of Satan, who thought the renovations were for a nursery.

Playing into the episode's Halloween theme, advisor Stephen Miller soon warns the president that "by demolishing the East Wing, we may have unleashed some sort of wrath." Trump then starts being haunted by a creepy woman in a hat, who is actually first lady Melania Trump wearing a large hat that covers her face, popping up like a ghost at the White House and ominously standing in the corner of rooms.

The episode also brutally mocked Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is depicted fawning over Trump with over-the-top praise, with a crude running gag where she is constantly unaware that she has feces on her nose, a reference to the idea of her being a "brown-noser."

Bondi and other members of the Trump administration eventually hold a seance to confront the spirit at the White House, which Trump tries to abruptly stop when the spirit possesses Bondi and mentions Jeffrey Epstein.

Since beginning its 27th season in July, "South Park" has been repeatedly mocking Trump and members of his administration, making for an unusually politically focused period of the show. Trump's relationship with Satan has been an ongoing storyline over numerous episodes, and Vice President JD Vance, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and FCC chair Brendan Carr have also become recurring characters.

"The Woman in the Hat" got surprisingly meta to address critics of the show's recent political focus. Early on, Stan Marsh delivers a speech about how "South Park sucks now" because of "all this political" stuff, with everything he says about the town echoing criticism of the series itself. So Stan launches an online community dedicated to the idea that South Park has gone downhill, which goes unexpectedly viral. After gaining online traction, Stan uses the movement to launch a new cryptocurrency.

In what seems to be a direct appeal to fans eager to see the show return to storylines focused less on Trump and the White House, the episode ends with Kyle remarking that "things will go back to normal, and in the meantime, we just have to make the most of where we are."

The White House previously slammed "South Park" when the series began its parody of Trump in July, with spokesperson Taylor Rogers saying in a statement to USA TODAY, "This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention."

The latest "South Park" arrived two days later than expected. The show typically airs on Wednesdays and originally had an episode scheduled for Oct. 29, but Comedy Central announced the day before that the "special Halloween night episode" would instead air on Oct. 31.

No reason was provided for the delay, though it wasn't the first postponement for "South Park" this year. In September, the fifth episode of Season 27 was delayed one week, hours before it was set to air. At the time, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said they failed to complete the episode in time.

"Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don't get it done," Parker and Stone said. "This one's on us. We didn't get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and 'South Park' fans for being so understanding."

When does the next 'South Park' air?

The move to Friday appears to be a one-time shift for "South Park," as the show's next three episodes are all scheduled to air on Wednesdays. According to Comedy Central, new episodes will air on Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10.
