[edit] Plot
SpongeBob gets a new jellyfishing net, and calls it "Ol' Reliable". The following morning, it turns up missing, and he posts missing jellyfish-net posters all over town with a promise of a reward.
He later begins to suspect Patrick of stealing his net, as Patrick had once said recently that he would do anything for a net like Ol' Reliable. Spongebob goes through many plans to reveal Patrick as a thief, and eventually sees Patrick carrying a box. He tries to take it by disguising himself as a guy with a mustache interested in purchasing what's inside the box. Patrick says that the contents of the box belong to Spongebob, and at first Spongebob believes that his suspicions concerning Patrick's so-called "thievery" are true.
But to his great surprise, it is revealed that the box contains a very special net built by Patrick, specially for Spongebob. Spongebob doesn't know what to say. He is torn between gratitude for Patrick's generosity, and guilt for accusing his friend falsely.
Patrick gets upset at Spongebob for ever suspecting him, and prepares to leave Bikini Bottom. The bus arrives and Patrick is about to climb aboard when Spongebob grabs hold of him, begging his friend not to go while pleading earnestly for Patrick's forgiveness. The bus driver demands to know what the hold-up is, and when he sees that it is Spongebob and Patrick, he gives Spongebob Ol' Reliable, saying he left the net on the bus (again).
To make up for his accusations against Patrick, Spongebob gives Ol' Reliable to his friend, for keeps. Patrick is utterly overwhelmed by this gesture, and immediately decides to forgive Spongebob for Spongebob's thoughtlessness, and stay in Bikini Bottom after all. Everyone on the bus cheers, much to the chagrin of the bus driver, who claims that Spongebob and Patrick do this kind of thing all the time.
Spongebob and Patrick then run off to Jellyfish Fields together to enjoy their new nets.
