Sandy knew something was missing as soon as she stepped into the Krusty Krab- apart from her presence throughout the episode.

Bikini Bottom's most popular restaurant had been turned into an unsupervised, unsightly day care.

Why were the citizens of Bikini Bottom now babies? And why was she not surprised this was even the case?

Well, now she knew what she was missing.

But as to her first question- she had little hopes of getting it answered unless she could change them back to adults.

'Not that it would make much of a difference,' she thought wryly. 'This is gonna get crazier than a fevered bull in a rodeo.'

She wove round her temporary charges carefully. She shuddered as baby Patrick accidentally let off gas, stifled a gasp of shock at seeing baby Squidward and wondering what cruel fate drew him like this, and felt annoyance as a baby Mr. Krabs cheekily swiped her wallet from her suit pocket.

Sandy had had just about enough of the whole affair very quickly- and she had only been here five minutes! She suddenly felt something tug at her leg. Sandy was just- just- about to lose her temper and kick whatever was clinging on, when she noticed baby SpongeBob sitting at her feet, looking up at her with wide, adoring blue eyes. He then held out a perfectly formed, steaming Krabby Patty to her, a wide, gaping smile on his face.

Sandy's heart melted. She felt guilty for almost hurting her friend in such a violent manner. She took it with a gentle pat on the head, making him giggle. She wolfed down the delicious sandwich, feeling comforted by her friend's cooking- still perfect despite his current state.

Huh- looked like he wasn't lying about how his cooking experience had begun from a young age. She owed him an apology.

...

Once finished, she came up with a plan to help everyone. She would locate a sample of whatever formula was used to turn everyone into babies, go back to the Treedome to run experiments and find an antidote, and then use the antidote on them in an aquatic environment- her Treedome wasn't equipped for so many people- let alone babies.

This left her one problem- she couldn't take them to the Treedome with her, or leave them here unsupervised. They needed a safer environment and a guardian to watch them.

In other words, a babysitter.

Looking at Mr. Krabs- playing with her hard-earned money and giggling away like the infantile financial tyrant he was- gave her an idea. Pearl!

Pearl could help her by babysitting the kids until Sandy got the antidote. But, that was too much for one girl to handle alone, so she tried to think of anyone else who could help.

SpongeBob's grandmother lived near the edge of town. Sandy met her once when SpongeBob invited her round- with his grandmother's permission, of course. That was a bit much for an old lady, but Sandy knew no one better for SpongeBob and Patrick. Plus, their parents lived too far away.

Mrs Puff? She hadn't had children- but she did have a criminal record. Sandy knew having her and SpongeBob together was asking for trouble- not to mention that Mrs. Puff seeing her boyfriend Mr. Krabs in a diaper would be more awkward than her prom date.

Larry? He liked kids, and Sandy trusted him. Though she had no idea how he would be with diapers...

Unable to think of anyone else that she knew can look after babies and was living in the area, she decided it would have to do. She couldn't be too long in the Treedome, and she could drive. Yes, that would help vastly.

Steeling herself, she went towards Mr. Krabs' office, ignoring the said baby's squeals of alarm and protest.

She just had to make three phone calls, and then she could start.
