Plankton later walks over to SpongeBob's house, where he appears. Plankton says that he is his great-grandmother, in which he actually believes so. SpongeBob gives his "great-grandmother" a tour of his house and shows Plankton all of his albums. The next day, Plankton wants to go to the Krusty Krab, but SpongeBob insists that they go to a nursing home instead. There, they knit and play cards, when Plankton rips a card in annoyance at SpongeBob's antics.

SpongeBob realizes he is bored and decides to take him to the Krusty Krab, although Plankton says he wants to enter through the back door.

Meanwhile, Plankton ties up a balloon that looks like him. It flies away into the dishwasher, and when SpongeBob turns it on, the balloon pops. SpongeBob, thinking it is his great-grandma, cries, but then Plankton re-appears and says he is fine. After, Plankton tells SpongeBob that he is tired and needs to take a nap in a private place. SpongeBob agrees and takes him to the safe. Thereafter, Plankton's grandma walks inside of the Krusty Krab and finds out what Plankton is secretly plotting. She takes him back while SpongeBob thinks that his own great-grandma caught Plankton trying to steal the formula.

General[]

Episode references[]

  • Miss Gristlepuss from "Banned in Bikini Bottom" and Grandma from "Have You Seen This Snail?" appear while SpongeBob and "Great Grammie Ma" are knitting.
  • The scene where Plankton pulls out, stretches, and blows up a green balloon that is a decoy of him is a possible reference to the scene in "Truth or Square" of when Mr. Krabs blows Plankton up like a balloon and lets him float away.

SpongeBob's fingers get cut off.

  • In American airings, after Plankton steals his grandma's clothes and hair, she still has hair, but at the end, she is bald when she comes to take it back.
  • Whenever Plankton takes off the glasses, his one eye disappears when he puts them back on and off.
  • The balloon "Grannie Ma" should have popped when it went in the garbage disposal, but is slowly cut up.
  • When SpongeBob and Plankton play cards, the animation cell for the table in the background is above SpongeBob's, so parts of his left hand are erased multiple times when it goes near the table.
