Chum Bucket Supreme / Single Cell Anniversary

Chum Bucket Supreme: None of Plankton’s intellectually advanced advertising slogans such as "chum is metabolic fuel" for the Chum Bucket seem to be working. Plankton decides to switch gears by hiring someone who can create the dumbest slogans ever such as what he thinks is "chum is fun" (even though it says "chum is fum") or "fum is chum" – Patrick. Despite the terrible food, people keep coming because of the slogan, and Mr. Krabs loses his customers. However, when Patrick decides to quit, Plankton viciously insults both him and the customers; unfortunately, he screamed these into an intercom for all of Bikini Bottom to hear, and the citizens beat up Plankton in retaliation.
Single Cell Anniversary: It's Plankton's anniversary with Karen. Karen gets the secret Krabby Patty formula, and says Plankton has to give her a gift to get it. SpongeBob tries to help Plankton (not knowing about the formula) by teaching him to sing.

Truth or Square

The Krusty Krab celebrates its "eleventy-seventh" anniversary, and Mr. Krabs plans to sell lots of Krabby Patties. But SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs accidentally get locked in the freezer before they have a chance to celebrate. While finding their way through air shafts, they look back at some memorable moments in their lives. Meanwhile, Plankton finally finds the perfect opportunity to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula, but he is unsuccessful in this. Some flashbacks shown were: footage of SpongeBob as a baby, the first Krusty Krab commercials, SpongeBob moving into his pineapple, Squidward living without SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs splatting Plankton on the Chum Bucket, when Mr. Krabs told SpongeBob the Krabby Patty Formula (although it was never revealed), and even SpongeBob's marriage with Sandy (which was just a play).
