After being kicked out of his house by his landlord following the drug incident, Mr. Mackey ends up homeless, and is given a spliff

This backfires when the doll is eaten by a dog, and both the dog and doll are run over by a truck and explodes in front of the Broflovskis' house which leads to them to think that Ike is dead. It is at the funeral that Kyle finds out that Ike is not his biological
brother, but was adopted from Canada
. Upon discovering this, Kyle decides that Ike is not his "real brother" and he no longer cares about him. Kenny dies at this point when he falls into an empty grave and is crushed by a gravestone, although Kyle does not care.

The day of the bris arrives, and Kyle is grounded "for being a bastard" as his mother puts it, sulking in his room. When Dr. Schwartz the Mohel
arrives to perform the bris, Ike flees to Kyle's room in terror. Seeing Ike in distress and some old pictures prompts a change of heart in Kyle, and he defends his brother fiercely before it is explained to him what a circumcision actually is, at which point Stan and Cartman decide they want to be circumcised too. They then watch the process, but Stan and Cartman end up fainting and Kyle is relieved to see Ike unharmed. Elsewhere, Mr. Mackey emerges clean from rehab and is given his job back. The episode then ends with him attempting to explain drugs to the children again and the boys arguing about whose bris to attend.
