| ShortSummary = "A Place for Pets": Mr. Krabs allows pets in the Krusty Krab, although a health violation forces him to choose between restricting the restaurant to either people or pets. When he favors pets, much to SpongeBob's delight and Squidward's dismay, the other customers collectively refuse to eat at the Chum Bucket and begin disguising themselves as pets to get back in. After they have settled their differences and start to eat together, a fire marshal notifies Mr. Krabs that the Krusty Krab is past the allowed capacity, so he bans pets again.

{{hr}} "Lockdown for Love": Karen insists on having a romantic date with Plankton, locking down the Chum Bucket until he can prove he loves her. However, Plankton is focused on getting the Krabby Patty secret formula, which Mr. Krabs has unknowingly dropped in front of the Krusty Krab. Plankton disguises Patrick as himself and attempts to escape without Karen knowing, although he is later caught.

{{hr}} "Allergy Attack!": When SpongeBob's big kazillionth patty celebration crashes and burns due to a sudden rash, (an "allergy attack") he believes he's allergic to patties. Sandy tries to solve the situation by lending the sponge her old mechanical suit, but things get worse when everyone has to share the suit as the Krusty Krab customers begin to sprout itchy rash bumps all over their skin. By the end, it's revealed that Squidward's toilet-smelling cologne caused all of the pandemonium, with him getting his head blown up after spraying it upon himself.
