[edit] Plot

It is an average day at the Krusty Krab, until Bubble Bass comes along. He lies about there being no pickles in his Krabby Patty just to cause trouble for SpongeBob, and it does. Mr. Krabs takes it out of his pay because Bubble Bass read the tiny (microscopic, actually) print below the menu that says "Money Back Guarantee" on it. SpongeBob loses his confidence (and his mind), and can't remember how to do anything. Mr. Krabs tells him to go home and get some rest. He has Squidward take over the grill, which leads to disaster, due to the fact that he reduces every patty to ash.

Mr. Krabs is worried about this, so he goes to Spongebob's house, where everything is mixed up (such as eggs being nailed to the walls). Mr. Krabs explains to Spongebob that if he remembers how to make a Krabby Patty, he'll be back in order. It takes days, but it turned out that SpongeBob could still make a Krabby Patty with the works as he and Mr. Krabs accidentally find out. Bubble Bass then comes back and fakes the Krabby Patty not having pickles again. They find out that Bubble Bass has been hiding the pickles under his tongue the whole time.
