Characters[]

Synopsis[]

In the opening, Mr. Krabs is talking to a sweet old lady about the service at the Krusty Krab while she is knitting a scarf. She says that it was great, but has to go, so she does not have time to tell anyone about it, making Mr. Krabs angry. SpongeBob gets an idea upon overhearing the discussion, and he grabs Mr. Krabs' corkboard and puts it up. After realizing what SpongeBob did, Mr. Krabs asks him what he was doing with it. SpongeBob says that they can use it as a bulletin board.

It quickly becomes very popular with the customers, who write reviews onto sticky notes, put up drawings, and a variety of other things. However, SpongeBob at one point sees a message that reads "When I eat at the Krusty Krab, all I get is a dark, empty feeling inside!" and at the bottom, it reads "P-Star7." SpongeBob is very surprised to see this, so he tells Mr. Krabs, who is even more shocked and decides to get rid of it. As he is about to though, the surfer dude tells him he cannot do it, with SpongeBob agreeing. He still believes in the bulletin board's power, so they agree to leave it up. Patrick then walks in and tells everyone that he is P-Star7, but nobody believes him. Slowly but surely, he puts up another note. SpongeBob, seeing the note, tries to write an apology note. After hours of SpongeBob cooking the perfect Krabby Patties, P-Star7 finally responds with another mean note, saying that the Krabby Patties taste like old baseball gloves.

P-Star7 continues writing hurtful notes, including Sandals smelling bad, Gus' eye being too big, Bubble Bass not being able to chew with his mouth closed, Pearl's drawings being terrible, and that Squidward should not be able to stand behind a cash register. These notes make SpongeBob, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs furious, so they decide to wait in the Krusty Krab for P-Star7 to show up and write another one of his mean notes. When a shadowy figure enters the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob turns on the lights, revealing that it truly was Patrick. He puts up another note, causing Mr. Krabs to get mad and remove of all the notes in the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob then asks Patrick why he was P-Star7, so he explains that everyone kept misunderstanding his notes and that he was going to reveal himself in this last note. SpongeBob and Squidward understand, but Mr. Krabs is still furious at him, and he wants something to calm himself down. He then sees a flyer for a knitting circle class, and forces SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick to come with him. The teacher ends up being the sweet old lady and everyone thinks she is great, except Squidward, who wants Patrick to go back to being P-Star7, as the episode ends.

Production[]

During a tour of Rough Draft Korea for students of Yongsan International School of Seoul in April 2016, the front cover of the storyboard for this segment was found, and was posted onto Facebook on the 8th of that month.[2] Vincent Waller later confirmed this episode on Twitter on May 17, 2016,[3] and posted two images from the segment on July 13.[4]
