The next episode reset the show and returned to the status quo, except Stan remained depressed. At the time, it seemed like it could be the last episode of South Park, but was actually just an experiment in tone. It ends on a genuinely sad note, as Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" plays over a montage of dreams fizzling out. Meanwhile, Randy also can't deal with getting older and losing his edge, and he and his wife Sharon get divorced after growing apart. The creators' shift in perspective is clear in Season 15's extraordinarily well-written "You're Getting Old." Stan turns 10, and finds that with age comes cynicism and depression, as life gets repetitive. Parker and Stone are pushing 50, and Parker has said that they relate more to the adults now, so they write more for them now. In later seasons, the adults of South Park have taken on a much bigger role, especially Stan Marsh's father Randy.
