Role in episode[]
When Patrick and Squidina are reporting the news in Bikini Bottom, they see Tony walk into the Krusty Krab. Patrick assumes that he is a celebrity, and that he is wearing a mask to avoid being recognized by the paparazzi. Tony steals a woman's baby and uses its stinky diaper to threaten Mr. Krabs, only to be interrupted by Patrick asking for an interview. Tony answers some questions, and befriends Patrick. He robs Krabs and pays for food for both of them, using his stolen money.
Tony recruits Patrick as his flunky, and Squidina continues following them. He hijacks a taxi and begins driving away with the two of them. The police chase after them, and Patrick, still assuming Tony is a celebrity, takes control of the taxi and drives them to his hideout. Perch Perkins and Harvey arrive, getting into a battle with Patrick and Squidina over who gets to report the news. While they're fighting, Tony notices the police outside and gets the idea to set them up. He puts masks over Perch, Harvey, Patrick, and Squidina, then pushes them outside. The police arrest them, and Tony begins reporting the news himself, commentating over GrandPat's seahorse race.
