Plot

Cartman is sent to the principal's office to be appointed school hall monitor. He quickly starts taking his newfound job a bit too seriously, naming and costuming himself as "Dawg the Hallway Monitor." After finding a picture that Ike had made of his teacher, Ms. Stephenson, whom Ike apparently has a crush on, he storms into her classroom, and berates him. After the lesson, she privately talks with Ike, and reveals that she loves him too. Fearing that "they'd never understand" due to the recent rash of teachers having affairs with young male students, she uses the excuse of private tutoring to engage in a sexual relationship with him. They are discovered when Kyle, while collecting Ike, walks in on them bathing together. He attempts to drag Ike off, but is met with resistance from both, and is shocked to discover what is happening. Trying to reveal what is happening to their parents at dinner that night proves fruitless, as Ike continually distracts his mother. When Kyle reports the crime anonymously to the police, he discovers that they find the idea of a boy sleeping with an attractive female teacher as "...Nice" and saying that they need to give Ike a "Luckiest Boy in America Award." Even Kyle's friends do not see what the problem is, until Cartman learns they are making out in the halls, which is of course against school regulations. Enraged, he vows to catch them.

Cartman manages to catch the two kissing outside her classroom, and drags them to the principal's office, whereupon the police are informed and reluctantly arrest her. The male townspeople don't see a problem, as she is an attractive female (believing that statutory rape is not a crime if the perpetrator is a beautiful woman). Ike, knowing that Kyle had ratted him out, coldly tells him that he is dead to him. Stephenson uses what Cartman calls "The Mel Gibson Defense" and claims to be an alcoholic. The townspeople decide that she is a victim and thus free from any culpability. She quickly enters rehabilitation; after a short interview, she is released. She immediately takes Ike from the Broflovski house and makes plans to elope to Milan. The Broflovskis quickly find out what has happened, and report it to the police. The police agree to "make a report," but are still uninterested in actually apprehending Stephenson for doing it. Cartman, furious that Stephenson and Ike would get away, assembles a team to help catch them, including Kyle. Cartman's team discovers (from checking their Travelocity account) that the two are staying at the Airport Hilton. Cartman gains access to the hotel using bear mace and the police are called. Ike and Stephenson, hearing the commotion, try to flee, but Cartman chases them while having several people maced, and all parties, including the police, wind up on the roof. Cornered, the two decide to jump off the roof, but Kyle manages to persuade Ike to live his life before ruining it with a serious relationship. Ms. Stephenson jumps to her death, expecting Ike to follow, but Ike stops himself at the last moment and runs to hug Kyle. Cartman and the crew are then asked to get off the roof by the police, to which he responds "That's cool. I'm done making my video anyways." He then picks up the camcorder (the camera angle shifts to a view looking at Cartman from inside the camcorder) and turns it off, ending the episode.
