High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Trapped in the Closet" is the twelfth episode of the ninth season of the animated series South Park, and the 137th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on November 16, 2005. The plot of the episode centers on Stan as he joins Scientology in an attempt to find something "fun and free". After the discovery of his surprisingly high "thetan levels", he is recognized as the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the church. The title is a reference to the R. Kelly serialized song of the same name; a satirized version of R. Kelly appears in the episode.
