When the séance is finished, Squidward is unimpressed of the plot, while SpongeBob is afraid of it. Soon, Old Man Jenkins enters the restaurant and orders an unusual sandwich called a "[[Rusty on Rye]]."
   
 
Squidward tells the customer to order something that is on the menu which causes Old Man Jenkins to get mad. SpongeBob tells Squidward that he'll handle it but soon realizes that he has no idea how to make a Rusty on Rye. SpongeBob asks Old Man Jenkins how to make it but the customer replies by telling him that it was on rye bread and that it was number nine on the menu. People in line for a [[Krabby Patty]] start to get impatient so Mr. Krabs asks Old Man Jenkins to leave. Squidward states that he is identified as an unsatisfied customer, which upsets SpongeBob. SpongeBob then runs into Mr. Krabs' office, crying, and asks him why the Krusty Krab does not sell the Rusty on Rye. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that the sandwich was on the menu of an old restaurant called [[Rusty's Rib Eye]], made by the owner, Rusty Rickets, who died 20 years ago.

So, later that night, SpongeBob calls Patrick over to the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs tells them not to eat any furniture, which upsets Patrick and causes him to ask SpongeBob why he called him there. SpongeBob replies by saying that they are going to perform a seance at the Krusty Krab. After SpongeBob reads the ingredients of a [[mustard]] container and summons the spirit of Rusty's Rib Eye, the ghost soon appears. Patrick runs to get Mr. Krabs after being scared by the "big ghost."

After hanging around for a while, SpongeBob asks them to leave, but they begin to cause chaos at the Krusty Krab! Patrick and Mr. Krabs return and see the horrifying cause of SpongeBob's séance.

Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob never to hold a séance without his permission, because "ghosts are like relatives. Once you let them in, they'll never leave."

Synopsis

The episode starts off with SpongeBob and Squidward watching a show on television that includes a séance in it. When the séance is finished, Squidward is unimpressed of the plot, while SpongeBob is afraid of it. Soon, Old Man Jenkins enters the restaurant and orders an unusual sandwich called a "Rusty on Rye."

Squidward tells the customer to order something that is on the menu which causes Old Man Jenkins to get mad. SpongeBob tells Squidward that he'll handle it but soon realizes that he has no idea how to make a Rusty on Rye. SpongeBob asks Old Man Jenkins how to make it but the customer replies by telling him that it was on rye bread and that it was number nine on the menu. People in line for a Krabby Patty start to get impatient so Mr. Krabs asks Old Man Jenkins to leave. Squidward states that he is identified as an unsatisfied customer, which upsets SpongeBob. SpongeBob then runs into Mr. Krabs' office, crying, and asks him why the Krusty Krab does not sell the Rusty on Rye. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that the sandwich was on the menu of an old restaurant called Rusty's Rib Eye, made by the owner, Rusty Rickets, who died 20 years ago.

So, later that night, SpongeBob calls Patrick over to the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs tells them not to eat any furniture, which upsets Patrick and causes him to ask SpongeBob why he called him there. SpongeBob replies by saying that they are going to perform a séance at the Krusty Krab. After SpongeBob reads the ingredients of a mustard container and summons the spirit of Rusty's Rib Eye, the ghost soon appears. Patrick runs to get Mr. Krabs after being scared by the "big ghost."

SpongeBob asks Rusty how to make a Rusty on Rye but both attempts to say and write down the recipe fail so, Rusty just shows SpongeBob how to make Old Man Jenkins' order. SpongeBob is surprised to see that the ingredients are driftwood, speckle, and shellac. He asks SpongeBob to try it and SpongeBob rejects it and says that it has an inquired taste.

Because of the delicious smell of the Rusty on Rye, several ghosts infiltrate the Krusty Krab and eat the sandwiches.

Ghosts cause chaos at the Krusty Krab.

After hanging around for a while, SpongeBob asks them to leave, but they begin to cause chaos at the Krusty Krab! Patrick and Mr. Krabs return and see the horrifying cause of SpongeBob's séance. Patrick, still scared, runs around the Krusty Krab screaming. Mr. Krabs sees the orb that the ghosts came from and defeats the ghosts by pushing them back in the orb and pops it. Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob never to hold a séance without his permission, because "ghosts are like relatives. Once you let them in, they'll never leave."

The next day, SpongeBob serves Old Man Jenkins the driftwood sandwich. After he takes a bite, SpongeBob is now satisfied that Old Man Jenkins is satisfied. Then, they hear Patrick still running around the Krusty Krab, moaning ghost sounds.

  • This is the third appearance of the Old Man Jenkins from "Friend or Foe," the first being the said episode and the second being "The Main Drain."

Errors

SeanceShmeanceEP38Error

"Krabby Pattie" error

  • When Mr. Krabs and Patrick stand in the front door of the Krusty Krab, the Chum Bucket cannot be seen in its usual spot.
  • Oddly, SpongeBob tries to hand Rusty a pencil and paper, the objects just go through Rusty's hand due to him being a ghost. However, Rusty is able to lift other objects, such as a knife and the Rusty-on-Rye sandwich.
    • This should have been true for all the other ghosts who destroy the Krusty Krab.
  • On the Krusty Krab menu, "Krabby Patty" is misspelled as "Krabby Pattie."
  • Rusty's restaurant was a "ghost," so SpongeBob should have been able to walk through the door instead of opening it.
  • The ghosts eat the sandwiches, but since they are ghosts like Rusty, the sandwiches should have gone through their hands.
  • A ghost saws down a load bearing column in the Krusty Krab, but in the next scene and throughout the rest of the episode, both of the columns are standing in the Krusty Krab.
  • SpongeBob puts a Krabby Patty with a candle more into the hands of Patrick, not his head, as shown at the beginning of the seance.
