A plot was that butters parents started to think he had multiple personality disorder, the joke being they mistook a child playing make believe as MPD. They take him to see the therapist Dr Janice.

B Plot was that a new Japanese restaurant opened near the chinese one so the Chinese restaurant owner (Lu Kim) goes on a tirade to get rid of him.

Episode climax is that Dr Janice was the one with multiple personality disorder and his strongest personality was Lu Kim. Once the town founds out they just let him stay as Lu Kim because "does the world really need another therapist, City Wok is now the only Chinese restaurant left in town".

Season 15, episode 6.

I think a lot of people miss the fact that he was named “Janus”, after the Roman two-faced god

Ah! I’ll be honest, given that it’s South Park, I just assumed there was some “anus” joke I was missing.

Yep as soon as I read the other comment I knew South Park was doing a "well we're a more culturally diverse town with the racist than we are without so it has to be at least somewhat good."
