Synopsis

The episode begins at the Krusty Krab when SpongeBob is taking out the trash. Then, Plankton is seen trying to, once again, steal the formula. This time, Mr. Krabs lets him have it, then the patty explodes as part of new Krusty Krab security measures that can backfire on customers who swallow patties whole. SpongeBob is upset that Mr. Krabs and Plankton can't cooperate with each other, and Mr. Krabs claims they're like enemies. The episode plot comes to a jumping-off point when a new eatery called the Flabby Patty Shack is established.

The Flabby Patty shack

Things take an unexpected turn for them when it turns out the Flabby Patty is better than the Krabby Patty. Mr. Krabs and Plankton compete to see who can get the secret recipe, but SpongeBob explains it's best if they cooperate. They disguise themselves as an employee applying for a job. The employer hires them and their first assignment is to memorize the secret recipe.

They are excited until the recipe is revealed to be about friendship. SpongeBob is revealed to be the employer and says he created the restaurant to teach them about cooperation. This angers Mr. Krabs and Plankton who think about what they've been through the whole day and how it was all SpongeBob's fault. The episode ends when they chase a scared SpongeBob to brutally repay him with their newly formed "cooperation."

Errors

SpongeBob's visible eyelashes mistake

• When Mr. Krabs and Plankton are in the disguise and SpongeBob tells them about co-operation, SpongeBob blinks his eyes but his eyelashes are still seen.
