Plot
The episode begins with a bubble with a letter inside flying to SpongeBob's house while causing mischievous antics. It finally flies into SpongeBob's kitchen, who is enjoying a bowl of Kelpo cereal with Gary. SpongeBob opens the letter, which is from his old friend Bubble Buddy asking him to babysit his son Shiny. Shiny appears out of the bubble holding the letter SpongeBob introduces himself and takes Shiny to meet Squidward. Unfortunately, Shiny caused mayhem in Squidward's house and SpongeBob couldn't find him. Shiny kept flying again in Squidward's house and destroying furniture. Eventually SpongeBob catches him and takes Shiny to The Krusty Krab. Then he went into Mr. Krabs's office and flew everywhere around him. Mr. Krabs was shiny and clean from the bubble soap and told SpongeBob to let Shiny play in the dirty dishes. Then while SpongeBob was cooking Krabby Patties, Shiny once again gets into mischief by sliding around, making the Krusty Krab floors slippery. All the customers kept slipping, Mr. Krabs kicked them out. Then Shiny flew into the city and got into lots of trouble. He went into the pin factory, the scissor works, and he went into the pitchfork pantry. Then SpongeBob decided to go to the pillow pantry and he found out that was a dangerous place too. When they got home, he fed Shiny a hotdog. But then he popped, and SpongeBob had the bubble soap to repair him. Finally when he blew another Shiny, he grew two heads. Then Bubble Buddy came to his house to pick up Shiny. SpongeBob begins to apoligize about Shiny, but Bubble Buddy says that it was okay, because that sometimes it had happen to Shiny. Then he traps Shiny into a bottle of bubble soap. As they were leaving on a plane Shiny is normal again blew a raseberry out from the bottle and they went into the plane and flew away.
Trivia
- This is the first time the title card was reused. The only difference is that the word "Returns" was added to it.
- This is the second appearance of Bubble Buddy, 11 years after his debut in Season 2.
- The bubble plane was first on the ground, but was lifted into the sky. The same thing happens to the taxi at the end of the episode "Bubble Buddy".
- Shiny showed no signs of life until the end, just like his father in "Bubble Buddy".
- This is the first sequel to any episode.
- In the letter from Bubble Buddy, it says "We don't want him to go pop like his late Uncle Raymond". So far there was no proof that he had relatives. It seems Bubble Buddy must have done it.
- Since Spongebob made Bubble Buddy, Bubble Buddy is technically Spongebob's son. And Shiny is Bubble Buddy's son, so Shiny is Spongebob's grandson!
- Gary does not say "meow" in this episode
- The title card music is similar to "Pet or Pests".
Errors
- After SpongeBob reads the letter from Bubble Buddy, the spots on Gary's shell swap colors.
