Synopsis[]
Sandy plays the violin and leads SpongeBob and Patrick in an energetic square dance around the cabin. Annoyed by the noise, Squidward opens his door and yells at them to stop, but he gets dragged into the dance as well, getting severely injured. Squidward is sent to the nurse's office in a full-body cast. SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy visit him, only for Nurse Helga to drive them out. Sandy realizes that, since they no longer have a counselor, they do not have to obey any rules. The three of them run amok throughout the camp, making feral noises and disrupting the other campers, until Krabs stops them. He says that the campers must have a counselor, and splits them up into other cabins.
Patrick becomes king of the Pontoon cabin.
SpongeBob is moved into the Yacht cabin, while Patrick goes to the Pontoon cabin and Sandy goes to the Frigate cabin. The three cry at the thought of being taken away, and try to resist, but Krabs makes them go. In the Frigate cabin, Sandy fails to lift a dumbbell, and the jocks laugh at her. She presses buttons on her calculator to make a robotic arm come out of her tail and lift it up for her, to the other campers' amazement. Meanwhile, SpongeBob goes wild and plays around in his fancy new cabin. Lady Upturn disapproves until SpongeBob reminds her that she used to act the same way as a kid. Patrick struggles to join into the nerds' role-playing, but accidentally takes a wooden sword out of a stone, confusing it for a butt-scratcher, and this act leads them to declare him the new king.
SpongeBob playing polo.
Sandy uses her inventions to exercise, during her aggressive workout, and sends the other cabinmates flying through the wall. Patrick becomes a tyrant and forces Harvey and Kevin to fight for him, and makes Bubble Bass his jester, upsetting the others. SpongeBob tries to join into the fancy activities of the cabin, but his aggressive polo-playing causes the place to collapse. The three are kicked out of their new cabins, and meet up. When SpongeBob and Patrick hug Sandy and cry tears of joy, they cause her suit to short-circuit and explode. Thus, they get sent back to the nurse's cabin with Squidward, where they continue square-dancing. Nurse Helga and Squidward happily join in with their instruments.
