abort the operation, sick with themselves that they had almost put an innocent white man in jail. Yates returns home planning on retiring the force, but his wife encourages him that "framing wealthy black people is in his blood". He agrees, and calls the police department in Santa Barbara, Mr. Jefferson's former place of residence. They alert him that they framed a rich black man charged of molestation who did not look black, and he ran away before trial. Mr. Jefferson refuses to let Blanket outside anymore because he thinks everyone is against them. Stan and Kyle fear for the safety of Blanket after seeing Mr. Jefferson dangle him from the balcony of his house. They decide to rescue Blanket by sneaking into his room at night and switching him with Kenny. Mr. Jefferson calls his plastic surgeon in California to see if he can put his face back together, which is falling apart from years of plastic surgery. Stan and Kyle try to smuggle Blanket out of the house but are confronted by a horribly disfigured Mr. Jefferson, who wants them to play, and they escape to Blanket's room. Upon seeing Kenny dressed like Blanket, Mr. Jefferson playfully throws him too high, killing him. He chases the other three outside where the police are waiting to arrest him for the molestation charges put in Santa Barbara. A crowd gathers around. Cartman defends Mr. Jefferson, saying he never had a proper childhood, which was why he associated more with children. Kyle counters that even if all of the accusations about Mr. Jefferson are false and the police really do go around framing rich black men, that he has to grow up because he has a child of his own now. Mr. Jefferson decides to be more of a father to Blanket and give away their wealth to the needy, which no longer gives a reason for the police to arrest him; Yates tells Mr. Jefferson that there was "no point in putting another poor black man in jail". Reception Maxim states Mr. Jefferson is "a Michael Jackson-like freak", and National Board of Review's John Gallagher calls this episode "a howlingly funny assault on Michael Jackson" in his review of the DVD. The A.V. Club would later call it "one of [the] best [Harrison] Yates episodes ever". References External links "The Jeffersons" Full episode at South Park Studios Cultural depictions of
