When Plankton gets back to the [[Chum Bucket]] and gives Karen the sample, he describes his plan to combine a DNA sample from both him and Krabs to create a clone called PlanKrab to get the [[Krabby Patty secret formula]]. It turns out that this clone is more intelligent than Plankton. PlanKrab already knows what to do even before Plankton can say it.
