Plot

For a while, Ike has been seeing ghosts of dead celebrities, with Billy Mays being the one he see's most. No one else belives him until Kyle mentions that Ike's been seeing Mays to Cartman who shows the guys who he is by showing a commercial he was in to promote Chipotlaway. The boys call the Ghost Hunters to find the problem, but the Ghost Hunters end up scaring themselves and both urinating and defecating themselves before running out the house screaming much to the boy's annoyance.

Soon after, Ike ends up in hospital in a coma as a psychic then comes to help the boys. She explains that when ghosts can't accept what happens to them they end up trapped in Limbo where they can't go to heaven or hell. She explains it's like being trapped on a plane that can't leave the runway but you can't get off it. She manages to contact the spirits. She tells them they need to move on, to her surprise they admit they know that but Michael Jackson is the only one who refuses to accept his death. They try to get him to admit he's dead but the force of his denial causes the psychic to get thrown out a window by the ghost, Jackson possesses Ike's body as the other spirits are forced to remain in purgatory, which really is like an airplane stuck on the runway. The only way to release Michael from Ike's body and to free the celebrities from purgatory is for the Michael to achieve his dream. The boys enter Michael in to a beauty pageant because they find out that he always wanted to be accepted as a little white girl. After Michael's singing performance the two male judges love him. The police then come and take the two judges away for masturbating to the young girls in the pageant, leaving the female judge to decide the final outcome. Cartman sees her eating Chipotle and bribes her with the Chipotlaway. Michael then wins the pageant and his spirit leaves Ike's body and goes back to purgatory. Purgatory then lifts off and takes all of the people to their destination, Hell, which is a towing runway.
