Episode 42: Life Without Emily
(Play What's So Good About Goodbye by The Miracles for this first section.)
Jason was looking at a picture of his deceased girlfriend, Emily, who was killed at the end of the Tenorman War. A flashback shows the moment Emily sacrificed her life for Jason and he was crying afterwards. It ends and cuts back to reality. Jason was heartbroken over his girlfriend's death. Later, he looks out the window, with tears in his eyes. He misses Emily so much and he couldn't get over her death. He walked through the hallway passing through some people. Snoopy approaches him in a clown outfit and slams a pie on his own face and laughs, attempting to make Jason happy, but he was still depressed. Jason was back in the barracks refusing to come out.
Jason: Emily... I miss you so much!
He bursts out crying over Emily.
At the food court, Jason's friends are eating his food.
Nate: Jason's really depressed.
Brimmy: Yeah. He's been like this ever since Emily died.
Francis: Yeah. Fuck Tenorman for killing her. Jason doesn't deserve to lose his girlfriend.
Nate: I wish there was someway for us to cheer him up.
Brimmy: Yeah. It's not like we can just summon her spirit from beyond the grave. Plus, her grave is back on Earth and we're in space.
Kevin S: What if we convince Damien to bring her spirit here?
Nate: I guess that could work. Let's do it after we eat our lunch.
They continues eating.

Jason is crying on a picture of Emily while the song plays on the radio.
Jason: Emily... Why... Why did you have to die... WHY?!!!
He continues crying harder while the boys look at him.
Tweek: Poor Jason.
Craig: I know.
Kyle: Cartman, you know this is your fault Emily's dead. Your chili con carnival was the reason the Tenorman war happened, which resulted in Emily's death!
Cartman: Well, he's still a war criminal for what he did.
Kyle: Yeah! Because of you!
Stan: Guys, come on. We have to cheer up Jason.
Daniel: Why aren't you guys in your superhero costumes?
Stan: We decided to take a break from wearing them from today.
Daniel: Oh. Okay. But anyways, how can we cheer him up?
Clyde (South Park): We'll just have to get Lucy Loud and Damien to summon her dead spirit so she can see Jason.
Kyle: That's not a bad idea. Let's do it.
Damien and Lucy Loud are currently heading back to the barracks when they see the South Park boys.
Damien: Can we help you?
Stan: We need you guys to summon a dead spirit.
Lucy (Loud House): Who's spirit?
Kyle: Emily Marx. You remember Tenorman killing her, right?
Damien: Yeah.
Stan: Maybe you can try to summon her spirit so he can see Jason again.
Lucy (Loud House): I guess we could do that. Let's do it.
They are in the barracks about to do a ritual to bring Emily's ghost to the Space Tree.
Damien: We're all set.
Lucy (Loud House): Yeah. Let's do it.
Outside the barracks, Ben was walking through the hallways and saw some lights flashing through the door.
Ben: What the... (They continued flashing.) Probably Bessie trying to be a magician again.
He leaves and back in the barracks, a spirit comes up and it was Emily Marx, who had Angel wings on her back and a halo floating on top of her.

Damien: It worked.
Emily (Ghost): What? Where am I?
Lucy (Loud House): In space. We're currently living in the Space Tree.
Emily (Ghost): Oh, okay.
Nate: They brought you here to see Jason. He's been really depressed over your death.
Emily (Ghost): Oh... Just like me when he died.
Brimmy: Yeah. So can you?
Emily (Ghost): Yes. I'll go see him.
She went to find Jason.
Meanwhile with Jason, he was still depressed when he heard a familiar voice.
Emily (Ghost): Hey Jason.
Jason: Emily?
She approaches him.
Emily (Ghost): Yeah. It's me.
Jason: I can't believe I'm seeing you again.
Emily (Ghost): I'm back, but only for today.
Jason: I'm so happy to see you again.
Emily (Ghost): I've seen you crying over my death in heaven.
Jason: Really?
Emily (Ghost): Yeah. (Jason begins to cry and tries to hug Emily, but he goes through her.) I'm a ghost. You can't hug me anymore.
Jason: Oh... I just really miss you so much.
Emily (Ghost): So do you wanna hang out with me one last time before I go back to heaven tomorrow?
Jason: Sure. Let's do it.

Jason and Emily, who is a ghost, spend the day hanging out with each other for the last time. Jason drinks a vanilla milkshake while Emily tries to drink hers, but couldn't. They then watched a romantic movie. Jason tried to offer Emily popcorn, but she couldn't eat due to her being a ghost. They then look out a window together while Violet and Patty look at them. They then went to the swimming pool room and Jason was swimming while Emily couldn't feel the water. They continue having their time with each other until it was nighttime.
The Ginger Bots somehow managed to get inside the Space Tree and kidnap Jason. After that, they slowly walk away and Emily caught them.
Emily (Ghost): What do you think you're doing?!
Ginger Bot: Oh Goddamn it!
Emily (Ghost): Your leader killed me and guess what?
Ginger Bot 2: What?
She then morphed into a really scary monster and roars loudly at them. The Ginger Bots scream in fear and fly out of the Space Tree.
Emily (Ghost): And stay away from my boyfriend, you sons of bitches!
She then morphs back to normal and Jason wakes up.
Jason: Emily? What happened?
Emily (Ghost): Hey Jason. I stopped those ginger bots from kidnapping you.
Jason: Thanks Emily. You're the best.
They both smiled.

Emily was getting ready to go back to heaven while everyone is watching her.
Jason: I'm gonna miss you.
He begins to cry again.
Emily (Ghost): Jason, you can't spend the rest of your life crying over me. Look, I left you something to remember me by in the barracks.
Jason: Really?
Emily (Ghost): Yes. I really love you, Jason and I want to be with you, but I'm still dead. But don't worry. If Jesus gives me permission to visit you again, I will.
Jason: Sweet.
Emily (Ghost): And Jason.
Jason: Yeah?
She kisses Jason on the lips while trying not to go through him.
Emily (Ghost): Goodbye Everyone. I will never forget you.
At the 6:44 mark of the song, she disappears and her spirit is returning to Heaven. Jason begins to cry again while his friends comfort him. Emily continues climbing the stairway to Heaven, and looks at the Space Tree one last time. She smiles and waves goodbye at her friends one more time before she finally goes back to Heaven. Jason was still heartbroken over his girlfriend's death and hugs Brimmy. Brimmy hugs him back and Jason leaves them alone.

Jason enters the barracks with tears in his eyes.
Jason: I'm gonna miss you so much, Emily...
Mr. White: Jason.
Jason: What is it, Dad?
Mr. White: You can't be crying over your girlfriend your whole life. We're Whites! We don't cry when we lose someone who's precious in our lives!
Jason: Didn't Mom cry when I died after being hit by a police car?
Mr. White: Yes, but that's different. And I remember your girlfriend was crying over your death. Now the roles are reversed because you're alive again and she's dead. I'm probably not helping, but this is the truth. And also, she would want you to move on.
Jason: I just want her alive again!
He still continues crying.
Mr. White: Look Son. I know you miss your girlfriend, but crying over her isn't gonna bring her back.
Jason: Since when did you start giving our advice? All you do is go around telling everyone that our family is better than everyone else's.
Mr. White: I know, but look. She wants you to move on. Plus, she gave you something to remember you by. You know, crying over your girlfriend's death isn't gonna do anything. You can't be depressed for the rest of your life, Son. Your girlfriend wants you to move on.
Jason: But... Damien has powers. Why can't he use them to bring her back?
Mr. White: Look. She wouldn't want to be brought back. She wanted to be remembered as a hero who saved her boyfriend from getting killed by a crazy red headed teenager. Look, if you ever feel like moving on, come talk to me. I'm just trying to help you get over what happened to her. If someone in your life dies, they would want you to move on and not be depressed over them. It's okay to miss them, but crying over them for the rest of your life isn't gonna do anything. Anyways, I'll leave you alone.
He leaves the barracks.
Mrs. White: Did you talk to him?
Mr. White: Yes. I told him to move on.
Crystal: Mommy, Daddy, will Jason be okay?
Mrs. White: We'll just have to see, Crystal.
They left and Jason lifts up his bedsheets. He then saw the necklace Emily gave him to remember her by. He then read a note that says "Jason, I will never forget you. This necklace is for you to remember me by. - Emily" and he smiles.
Jason: My dad's right. I can't be like this forever. Emily would want me to move on and that's exactly what I'm gonna do!

Jason exits the barracks and approaches his friends.
Jason: Guys, I'm ready to move on like Emily said.
Nate: That's good.
Jason: Wanna head to the arcade? (He puts on the necklace Emily gave him.) We're gonna have a really fun time.
Brimmy: Who gave you this?
Jason: Emily. She gave me this to remember her by before she returned to heaven.
Francis: That's awesome. Anyways, let's head to the arcade.
They all cheered and went to the arcade.
Jason: Emily, I will always remember you.
He and his friends got in a ship and flew out of the Space Tree en route to the arcadeand the song ends at the 1:18 mark.

Emily returns to heaven and approaches Jesus.
Jesus: How was the visit?
Emily: It went amazing.
Jesus: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Anyways, you can see how he's doing now.
He pulls out an monitor and it sees Jason and his friends having fun at the arcade.She then noticed Jason wearing the necklace.
