At the Krusty Krab, the many customers ate at their Krabby Patties. Squidward was miserable as always, but SpongeBob was rather excited. SpongeBob burst through the window per usual, and held out a Krabby Patty and a soda on a tray

SpongeBob: "Order up!"-called SpongeBob, excitedly-"One Krabby Patty, and a medium Dr. Kelp!"

Squidward simply takes the Krabby Patty and carries it to the customer. Though as he carried it, the drink grew robot, spider-like legs from the bottom of it, and stood up, as metallic arms sprouted from it's sides.

Squidward: "What the..."

The arms then grab Squidward's nose, and pull on it, before releasing it and knocking him down. The arms then grab the Krabby Patty, landing on the legs. The front of the cup then opens up and reveals Plankton, steering the robot.

Plankton: "Surprised to see me?"-asked Plankton, cockily-"Ha, the secret formula it mine!"

Mr. Krabs then dashed from his office, and runs to block Plankton's path.

Mr. Krabs: "I don't think so, Plankton!"-said Mr. Krabs, angrily-"You won't get away that easily!"

Plankton: "We'll see about that, Krabs."-said Plankton, pulling a lever

Plankton then took off with immense speed, and climbed over Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob jumped out of the kitchen, and began chasing after him. The chase engaged, and Plankton began approaching the exit.

Plankton: "Ha, you fools will never stop me!"-said Plankton, laughing

Plankton laughed at the victory, though he wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and did not notice Patrick approaching. Patrick then opened the door, and slammed Plankton against the wall.

Patrick: "Hey, are you all open?"-asked Patrick, confused-"I'm here for lunch."

Mr. Krabs then picks up Plankton by his antenna, and holds him at eye-level. Plankton's head spins, but when it comes back together, he realizes that Mr. Krabs grinned at him.

Mr. Krabs: "Face it, Plankton, you're never gonna win!"-Mr. Krabs gloated-"Now, back to the Chum Bucket with you!"

Mr. Krabs then swings Plankton around by his antennas, and throws him through the door. Plankton flies through the air, and lands through the doors of the Chum Bucket. Mr. Krabs then turns to SpongeBob, who pats him on the back.

SpongeBob: "Wow, another day, another attempt to steal the formula."-said SpongeBob, exhausted

Mr. Krabs: "Another failed attempt I might add!"

Mr. Krabs then turns and laughs, leading SpongeBob behind him.

Karen stood in the dining room, setting up for her and Plankton's weekly card game. She laid out the many cards and poker chips on the table. Once two decks of cards, and two sets of chips were set up on either side of the table, she nodded her monitor in accomplishment. As Karen prided herself, Plankton came flying through the door, and hit the back of her monitor, causing her to fall down. Karen reached behind herself and picked Plankton off her monitor as she got up.

Karen: "Let me guess, you failed to steal the formula...again."-said Karen, blankly."

Plankton: "Can it, computer wife, can't you see I'm trying to complain here?"-asked Plankton, furiously-"Let's just get to this game of cards."

Karen got back up on her wheels and set Plankton down one side of the table. She then sat down on the opposite side and set up her deck. After many hours of playing, Plankton laughed cocky and pushed forward all his poker chips. He looked down at the king in his hands, and readied to pull it out. Plankton laughed and threw down his king, but his expression fell when he saw that Karen played an ace. As Karen took his poker chips, Plankton slammed his fist against the table, and attempted to shake it but to no avail.

Karen: "You need to stop being so upset!"-said Karen, irritated-"Come on, it's just a game."

Plankton inhaled and stopped trying to flip over the table in anger. He then turned to his wife in a calmer manner then he usually did.

Plankton: "I'm sorry, Karen, I just don't get why I can't steal that blasted formula."-said Plankton, irritated-"Why does Krabs get all the wealth and success, while I'm stuck here, in this empty restaurant?"

Karen turned her monitor to her husband, also calming down at this.

Karen: "Well, I personally think you should just give up."-said Karen, concerned-"Tour obsession, it's not healthy, and you certainly haven't gotten anywhere."

Plankton: "Karen, I need that, I haven't gotten a single customer."-said Plankton, annoyed-"How am I supposed to get customers, when all I've got is this disgusting chum?"

Karen scratched the bottom of her monitor in thought, before a lightbulb appeared on her screen. She then turned to the still-sulking Plankton.

Karen: "I have an idea."-Karen thought-"How about instead of stealing from Krabs, you just try and make your chum taste better?"

Plankton: "Eh, I guess it's worth a shot."

Plankton then jumped into the kitchen, Karen following behind him. They entered, and Plankton remember what it was that made chum edible, Squidward had taught him to cook it for twenty four hours. The very next day, Plankton came out with the bucket of chum, that had cooked for twenty four hours. He then took out a spoon, and tasted it as it was.

Karen: "Well, how does it taste?"-asked Karen curiously

Plankton: "Well, it isn't bad anymore, it just kinda...tastes like nothing."-said Plankton, confused-"I guess we could always..."

Spot then appeared behind Plankton, frightening him and causing him to accidentally hit the bucket. The chum then flew through the air, and hit a shelf, causing three things to fall and pour into it, one sticky and golden brown, another red and transparent, and the last was just white and flaky. Plankton turned to Spot, irritated with his pet amoeba.

Plankton: "Spot, I told you not to scare me like that!"-said Plankton, irritated-"You could've given me a heart attack!"

Spot then licked Plankton's face, causing him to laugh and pet Spot.

Plankton: "Oh, I can't stay mad at you."

Karen: "Uh, Sheldon..."

Plankton looks and sees the many substances that had poured into the chum. Plankton jumps to the chum, and notices the bottles that have poured in.

Plankton: "What even is this stuff?"-asked Plankton, confused

Plankton picked up the first bottle, and noticed that it was honey, he then took the next one, and saw it was sweet and sour sauce, finally, he saw one to be cavern salt. He then looked at the chum, and shrugged.

Plankton: "Eh, I guess this could work for a first try."-said Plankton, tasting the chum

Plankton's eye then widened as he tasted the chum, slightly beginning to drool. He then took another bite at how delicious it was.

Plankton: "Karen, I think I found a way to get us business."-said Plankton, excited-"Let's get cookin', we've got customers to feed!"

Plankton then starts the stove so he may cook more chum. While he does this, Karen breaks out the honey, sweet and sour sauce and cavern salt. The two begin cooking and know they will get customers soon.
