Synopsis[]
One day, on the Ned and the Needlefish tour bus, Ned comes out of the backroom and has a six-layered wig on. His bandmates tease him, and one accidentally chucks the wig out the window. SpongeBob is taking a walk, while doing so, the wig hits him in the face. After falling and getting back up, he notices it's a wig and goes to Patrick's house. Patrick thinks it's a "brain eating alien," and rubs it forcefully on his rock. SpongeBob yells at him and Patrick puts him down. Then he thinks SpongeBob was wearing a cotton candy hat, chewing a piece off. SpongeBob tells Patrick that he's wearing a wig, causing him to laugh hysterically. He then looks at his watch and says it is time for his weekly condiment soak, he gets in a tub and pour a jar of mustard on him.

Later, SpongeBob enters the Krusty Krab with everyone laughing at him thinking they're laughing with him, he wakes Squidward up, asking Squidward if he notices anything different about him. Squidward says he doesn't, to which SpongeBob says he's wearing a wig. He goes into the kitchen and makes some Krabby Patties, while scratching his wig, causing a lot of wig hair to fall on the meat patty. Some customers aren't satisfied. All of them leave and Mr. Krabs notices. He tells SpongeBob to wear a hairnet, or he leaves for the day. Sandy walks in the Krusty Krab while SpongeBob is delivering food. She is about to ask SpongeBob about Karate practice, but then takes one look at him, and laughs hysterically. When he thinks they're all starting to get jealous, he walks backwards into the kitchen and tells Squidward that he'll be in the kitchen if he needs him, who tells SpongeBob to hide his shame.
Meanwhile, Ned's band is in a record dealers place, where their manager fires them because of Ned's baldness. That night, the Krusty Krab closes before SpongeBob goes home when he's mopping the floor using his wig. Squidward thinks it's as functional as SpongeBob's brain, to which he takes as a compliment, but Squidward tells him it wasn't a compliment, and that the entire town has been laughing at him. SpongeBob doesn't get his point, Mr. Krabs tells him to stop wearing the wig or not come back until then.
The next day, Sandy walks to SpongeBob's house, to try to talk to him again. She knocks on the odd double-sized door and sees SpongeBob still wearing the wig with a grin, she tells him they should talk. As they are walking through Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob is talking about how his wig brought so much attention. They go to The Reef (movie theater) and watch a movie about wigs. SpongeBob sits in the front row before Sandy and a lot of sea fish yell at him because the wig blocks the entire screen. SpongeBob turns around and tells everyone to pay attention to the movie and not start a riot over his wig. The fish start rioting and chasing SpongeBob and Sandy out of the movie theater. The workers thought the riot had to do with the movie being shown.
"Let's start a riot!"
Later on, SpongeBob and Sandy are walking through fields, where SpongeBob finally realizes how embarrassed he was with the wig and how much of a burden it was to others. He lets go of the wig and it flies away. Ned is then seen walking through Bikini Bottom, screaming about how his career is ruined. The wig then stuffs in his face and realizes it's his old one, causing him to rejoice.
The next day, SpongeBob is down, walking through Bikini Bottom and seeing all these fish with Ned's wig, including Patrick who lifts his arm and SpongeBob sees mini wigs attached to his armpit. Feeling betrayed by this change in perspective, SpongeBob walks up to a fish that teased him the other day and complains on his new view. He tells SpongeBob to look at a giant sign that says Ned and the Needlefish, and the whole band is wearing the wig. He then realizes that he was cool before anyone else. A dejected SpongeBob wishes he had a wig before Patrick lets SpongeBob borrow one, but the episode ends with him saying to wash it before he returns it.
