Synopsis[]

When Patrick scares away the Easter Bunny by mistake, SpongeBob decides to put on a bunny suit and hide eggs for his best friend. But the egg hunt takes an unexpected turn when Patrick finds the biggest egg they have ever seen!

Plot[]

SpongeBob walks up to Patrick's rock to tell him that the Easter Bunny is coming. Patrick asks if the Easter Bunny will come down the chimney and bring presents, but SpongeBob tells Patrick that he's thinking of Santa Claus, and that the Easter Bunny hides eggs for them to find. Patrick takes a carton of eggs out of his fridge, but SpongeBob explains that Easter is not until tomorrow, and Easter eggs are painted pretty colors.

The next morning, the Easter Bunny arrives and tries to hide an egg under Patrick's rock, but Patrick, startled awake by the noise, mistakes the Easter Bunny for a "big, cute, fluffy monster" and scares him off. The Easter Bunny turns around and leaves without hiding any eggs. Meanwhile, SpongeBob's alarm clock goes off, and SpongeBob goes to tell Patrick it's time for the egg hunt. Patrick proudly tells SpongeBob how he scared away a monster, but when he describes the "monster", SpongeBob tells Patrick he scared away the Easter Bunny. Patrick bursts into tears, afraid that he ruined Easter.

This gives SpongeBob an idea: he dresses up in a bunny costume and goes around hiding eggs. However, he disturbs Squidward, who tells him to keep the noise down so he can sleep. When SpongeBob is done hiding eggs, he knocks on Patrick's rock. Patrick wishes him a "Merry Christmas", but SpongeBob corrects him: "You mean 'Happy Easter', Patrick." Patrick tries again: "Okay then, Happy Easter, Patrick!", to which SpongeBob replies, "Never mind. It's time to get your best friend and go on an egg hunt." He then runs home to change out of his bunny costume.

Patrick is excited to win the egg hunt, but SpongeBob explains that it's not a contest; they're just going to find the eggs and then eat them. Patrick doesn't listen, and runs outside yelling, "I am going to win!" But when the egg hunt starts, Patrick can't find any eggs, even though they're in plain sight. When Patrick isn't looking, SpongeBob puts some of his eggs into Patrick's basket, and Patrick thinks he found them himself. But all that egg hunting makes Patrick hungry, so he eats all his eggs and then starts to cry because all his eggs are gone.

SpongeBob hates to see Patrick so sad, so he gives him all of his eggs. But as soon as he does so, he goes home and bursts into tears because he has no eggs left over to make egg sandwiches, egg pancakes or egg creams. Patrick knocks on SpongeBob's door, but SpongeBob is still upset that Patrick took all of his Easter eggs. But Patrick explains that he brought them back and no longer needs them, because he found the "biggest Easter egg ever!" He brings SpongeBob outside to show it to him, but SpongeBob doesn't think it's an Easter egg. He is proven correct when the egg starts to hatch, and a giant fish comes out. As the giant fish chases SpongeBob and Patrick into the sunset, Patrick says, "Merry Christmas, Easter Fishy!"
