Synopsis[]
The episode begins with SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs talking in his office. He gives SpongeBob a shopping list and tells him they were running low on ingredients for Krabby Patties and is tasking SpongeBob to go out and obtain everything on the list. He then tells SpongeBob to be careful of Plankton and if he gets the ingredients, it would cause an apocalypse. Meanwhile, Plankton is listening to this conversation from afar and decides to follow SpongeBob to the ingredients. SpongeBob starts going around town looking for the ingredients, while Plankton follows him closely.
SpongeBob meets Sandy and shows her the shopping list. She decides to help SpongeBob due to the ingredients being hard to get, and they use her submarine to do so, with Plankton going inside a toolbox in the submarine. They go to get a hair of a yeti krab, milk from a fangtooth fish, and ghost dandruff from the Flying Dutchman. They succeed at getting these ingredients, but every time Plankton tries to receive them, he ends up injured.
When Sandy and SpongeBob have gotten all the ingredients and go back to the Krusty Krab, Plankton ambushes them and takes their submarine with all the ingredients. Sandy and SpongeBob meet the yeti krab on the ground, and he is angry at them as he lost his hair. Fortunately, Sandy gives him the fur from her tail for the yeti krab to wear, and he takes them the Krusty Krab.
SpongeBob and Sandy enter the Krusty Krab and SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that Plankton stole the ingredients. However, Mr. Krabs reveals that the list he gave them was fake, and he sent them to get those items to keep Plankton distracted while he ordered the real ingredients from the Barg'N-Mart in the meantime. While SpongeBob is happy he didn't cause the apocalypse, Sandy is furious at Mr. Krabs for sending her and SpongeBob on a wild goose chase for nothing (as well as causing her to lose her submarine Matilda and give up the fur on her tail.) She then beats him up in his office for it, takes a bag of his money to buy a new submarine, and then launches him into the sky, to which Mr. Krabs admits that he deserved that. Meanwhile, Plankton, believing he finally had everything to make Krabby patties, puts all the fake ingredients together, while Karen warns him not to add the ghost dandruff. The episode ends with the Chum Bucket exploding due to the fake ingredients being dangerous, causing Plankton to be blasted into the sky, where he and Mr. Krabs sadly greet each other.

Trivia[]
General[]
- In mid-2018, Vincent Waller accidentally released a video on his YouTube channel featuring the final storyboard of this episode. He later took down the video, but other users reuploaded it.[3]
- The next time a storyboard of an unaired episode has been leaked would be "Gary & Spot" from season 12 in February 2019.
- The title card background is similar to those of "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" and "Summer Job," but it's stretched to widescreen, the pineapples are red instead of orange, the background pattern is a darker shade of yellow, and has a shopping list on it.
- This episode marks the return of the Flying Dutchman in animated form since the season 8 episode "Ghoul Fools."
- "My leg!": Fred screams this as Mr. Krabs makes the Krusty Krab floor flip to reveal a shopping cart.
- This is the first episode that Zeus Cervas worked on since "Yeti Krabs."
- Coincidentally, this also marks the second appearance of Yeti Krab in the series.
- This is the second of four season 11 episodes to be storyboard-driven, except script-driven. The first was "Krabby Patty Creature Feature."
Episode references[]
- Mr. Krabs mentioning if Plankton gets his hand on the formula it will bring about the apocalypse references The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, where after the formula disappears Bikini Bottom turns apocalyptic.
- The gravestones for Dirty Dan and Pinhead Larry from "Survival of the Idiots" make a cameo appearance in this episode when Sandy is flying her submarine over the snowy mountains.
Cultural references[]
- Skull & Shoulders Shampoo is a parody of the Head & Shoulders shampoo brand.
- When Sandy is about to attack Mr. Krabs, her arms as well as the anchor tattoo allude to Popeye.
Errors[]
- While Plankton listens to Mr. Krabs through his giant stethoscope, the Krusty Krab clam sign is missing.
- When SpongeBob starts signing his shopping list song, his Krusty Krab employee hat is missing, but later reappears in the next scene.
- In one scene with the Yeti Krab, when the Yeti Krab is shivering, a picture is on the right, but in the next scene, the picture is now on the left.
- Before Sandy beats up Mr. Krabs, she is wearing red karate gloves, which are supposed to be SpongeBob's, instead of her usual green or pink karate gloves.
- This error also occurs in "Waiting," "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout," and "Sandy, Help Us!"
- Although in "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout," her green karate gloves appear being worn by Carol in the live-action segment.
- This error also occurs in "Waiting," "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout," and "Sandy, Help Us!"
