Plot

The Episode starts with a figure like Plankton opening the safe for the formula inside the Krusty Krab. It is actually Mr. Krabs when SpongeBob turns on the light. Then Squidward comes in says 'Hi', but leaves soon after because Mr. Krabs asked the two employees if they could work on a mission. SpongeBob accepts the mission in a loud manner and soon after, Patrick joins in loudly. Mr. Krabs gives them both a talking Krabby Patty.

Back at SpongeBob's house, SpongeBob and Patrick listen to the mission followed by a self destruct to the patty. To get the Spy Gadgets, they go to the Treedome to get weapons and gadgets from Sandy. She shows them all her gadgets and says that the boys can't use them... until Patrick uses a knock out ray on her and they take them!

They go downtown and check out what Plankton is doing. He enters the shop, Guppies 'R' Us. Nothing is too suspicious. Then Plankton buys a stamp and SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs all the stuff he has done. Later on, SpongeBob and Patrick are 'Quietly' behind Plankton although he can hear them. Eventually Plankton gets burned because of a microscope burn that SpongeBob used to allow close attention.

Later, at night time, SpongeBob and Patrick are at the Chum Bucket roof trying to get in the 'SPY WAY'. They get caught by Plankton and they get a menu to eat. Patrick needs to go to the toilet and he becomes very tempted to go, until instead of that, the laser gun down his pants fires and destroys the Chum Bucket! Plankton gets out a blimp from under the restaurant and he hovers over the Krusty Krab, making Mr. Krabs thinking that night had come early. Squidward said that it was the time of the month for Plankton to strike again. When Mr. Krabs tells the people to get into their positions, Squidward runs into the Men’s Toilet. Mr. Krabs said that if he wanted customers, he could have them by sucking them trough and cannon and hitting the blimp, causing it to blow up and destroy the restaurant. Plankton then says: "I always win!" SpongeBob replies and says that Plankton never wins. It is then revealed that Plankton was Mr. Krabs, Mr. Krabs was a robot and inside was Plankton. The reason was, was that they both had a bet that they could see if Mr. Krabs could steal his own formula being under the name as Plankton!

Then Patrick says, Wait a minute! And he rips off a costume that is revealed to be Squidward, and then SpongeBob questions the real one and rips off his skin! The fake Squidward is then Sandy, then it is SpongeBob. SpongeBob then takes off his disguise and it is Patrick, but it is a joke and they both rip off their costumes and they are back to normal. They all laugh until SpongeBob questions that the other Patrick is....
