"Pre-School" is the 121st episode (10th in season 8) of the Comedy Central series South Park. It originally aired on November 10, 2004.
A terrified Stan announces to Kyle, Kenny, Cartman and Butters that Trent Boyett, a notorious bully from their preschool years, is being released from juvenile hall after a five-year sentence.
In a flashback set five years previously, the boys got the idea to play "Fireman", in which they play by putting out a fire by urinating on it. Wanting to put out an actual fire, they ask Trent to start one. However, the fire soon gets out of control and their teacher, Miss Claridge, is badly burned and nearly dies while trying to put it out. Instead of going the easier way by saying that the fire was an accident, explaining how Miss Claridge got injured, and risking getting into trouble, the four boys immediately place the sole blame on Trent. Trent attempts to have Butters defend him, but Butters refuses to say what really happened out of fear of getting in trouble with his parents. Trent is then sentenced to juvenile hall. Kyle points out that Trent will be furious and vengeful when he gets out. Cartman dismisses this, saying, "Whatever, that's like five years from now!"
Now that Trent is free, the boys fear that he will seek revenge. However, Kyle warns against informing their parents for fear that they will get in trouble.
Miss Claridge, meanwhile, was burned so badly that she is permanently using a wheelchair (resembling Christopher Pike from Star Trek). She can only communicate by using an electronic beep – once for "yes", twice for "no". She is shown moving throughout the town, and is halfway across the street when the chair's battery dies, leaving her stranded in the middle of a crosswalk, and unable to move or communicate.
