After this they started to go out on several dates and visiting amusement parks together. During this, Cartman plants a teddy bear on Nichole's houses' steps as well as Tolkien's houses' steps.

One night Nichole is eating dinner with her parents. After a brief discussion about Tolkien, her father tells her that she shouldn't only date other black people. She says that her and Tolkien being the same race is simply a coincidence. Later, Nichole is in her room looking at the aforementioned teddy bear she presumes Tolkien left for her. She examines its tag, which says "To my boo" on one side and "'Cuz blacks belong together" on the other. This shocks her, and she breaks up with Tolkien the next day.

Cartman, after watching a laxative commercial, is inspired to try and get Nichole and Tolkien back together. He opens a box containing Cupid Me, and, after some convincing words, Cupid Me agrees to help him. Later, he knocks on Nichole's door, asking to speak with her. However, her father reveals she went to a basketball game with a "nice white Jewish boy". Cartman begins to rush to the game.

Cartman arrives at the game and begins to broadcast himself over the "Megatron" screen in the center of the arena. He says that love is hard and that people have to work for it, regardless of what others think. During this, he proclaims his "love" for Kyle and begins to sing a duet with Brad Paisley. After the song is over, he tells everyone that the Batmobile is outside; this causes everyone, including the players, to leave the arena. During the exodus, Tolken and Nichole run into each other. They reconcile their relationship, declaring that they do not care about stereotypes or what other people think.
