Plot
Plankton walks to the Chum Bucket stink ing with the stench of "failure" as he calls it, and Karen is in a very happy mood. Karen then smells Plankton and gives him a bath, taking off his skin, which is revealed to be his clothes. After he's washed, Plankton learns that it was his and Karen's wedding anniversery, and that Karen got him a copy of the Krabby Patty secret formula for his present, but he can't have it until he gets her a present.
While Plankton is looking for a present, he runs into SpongeBob. He tells SpongeBob the news and SpongeBob yells to all of Bikini Bottom that there's a "Love Emergency". SpongeBob then tells Plankton that his present has to come from the heart, and he suggests a serenade. Plankton then remarks that he can't sing, and SpongeBob takes him to the pineapple and works on Plankton's vocal cords. Plankton sings so high that he breaks the glass Squidward was drinking out of, and he breaks Sandy's helmet so she has to run for air. Then, Plankton goes off to serenade Karen.
Plankton walks into the Chum Bucket and starts singing a mariachi-style song, and SpongeBob and Patrick play guitars in the background, wearing Mexican-style clothing and mustaches. Plankton also shakes maracas. Karen cries when it is over, and then she starts uploading the Krabby Patty secret formula. SpongeBob is mad at this, and he unplugs what he thinks is Karen, but was just the coffee maker. Karen finally uploads the formula, but she starts crying again, and she breaks down and shorts out, leaving Plakton still without the secret formula. She then shuts down, and the EMILP (Emergency Mother-In-Law Program) uploads and starts nagging, saying that Karen could have married the ATM, someone with money.
Trivia/Goofs
- This episode is number 13 on Tom Kenny's Top 20 on iTunes. His description says:
"Kind of obscure, but one of the few episodes to focus on the 'Honeymooners-like' marriage of Plankton and Karen. (Just a microorganism and his computer wife tryin' to get by.) I love how Plankton swings between henpecked husband and world-conquering megalomaniac."
- When Plankton puts on his skin/clothes, there's no mouth hole, but his mouth still shows.
- Spongebob knows everything about love whilst Plankton knows nothing about it.
- The title card music now sounds the same as Plankton! and Walking Small.
- Even though Plankton claims that he can't sing in this episode, he sang perfectly before in episodes such as F.U.N. and Christmas Who?.
- When SpongeBob throws the guitar, it lands with the classic "Kabong!" sound from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Quick Draw McGraw whenever Quick Draw, as his alter ego El Kabong, hits people on the head with a guitar.
APM music identification
- Hawaiian Cocktail - "And now, the smell of defeat's so deeply penetrates my soul that my very skin is permeated with its foul stench."; "There's nothing wrong. Don't worry. I'm fine."
- Lonely Heart's Club - Plankton comes into the Chum Bucket and has a surprise for Karen.
