SpongeBob and Patrick set up a tent that’s ten feet from SpongeBob’s house, intending to spend the weekend there. Squidward reluctantly joins them. At first, the “trip” goes off without a hitch, until they encounter a sea bear.
It’s summer in Bikini Bottom, and that means the kids are out of school. For Mr. Krabs, their temporary freedom means more profit for him. To attract them, he sets up a playground consisting of rusty, poorly-constructed, and dangerous equipment, with a promise to the kids that they would get to meet Krabby the Clown before day’s end. However, he soon finds out that kids probably shouldn’t be underestimated.
The ancestors of SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward, named SpongeGar, Patar, and Squog respectively, discover fire (or, as they call it, “fwee-fwee”). In Patchy’s world, the future and the past collide in a Stone Age home as he and Potty argue which era is better.
On a stormy day in a diner, SpongeBob recounts a recent tale in which he loses his nametag. Mr. Krabs is to do a surprise uniform inspection, with a consequence that the least prepared employee has to wear a stinky boot for the rest of the workday. The sponge recruits Patrick to help him retrace his steps to find his nametag, but quickly learns that his method isn’t perhaps the best one, and that Patrick isn’t much help at all.
Mr. Krabs quietly commemorates the 25th anniversary of when Plankton first tried to steal the Krabby Patty’s secret formula. Meanwhile, Plankton realizes that, perhaps, maybe one of him isn’t enough to nab the recipe, so he calls every plankton in the sea. Plankton and his relatives easily invade the Krusty Krab and overpower the staff, but the formula contains a grave secret that Mr. Krabs insists Plankton is better off not knowing. The episode is notable for the fact that SpongeBob only has four lines of dialogue, and is rarely seen.
SpongeBob shatters his rear end (literally) in a shell boarding accident. He vows to stay indoors for the rest of his life, leaving Sandy and Patrick to try and convince him that the outdoors aren’t always so dangerous.
