Plot

The episode begins with SpongeBob singing during work. Then, he realizes that 6 Krabby Patties are done. SpongeBob squirts condiments, using a Krabby Patty-making helmet with a radar vision glass scope and a pressing button of the cans of Ketchup and mustard on top of them, and spreads out Lettuce, Cheese, and Tomatoes like card-game flipping. SpongeBob then looks at a beautiful Krabby Patty, which he calls Patty. SpongeBob instantly loves Patty more than any other patty he has made. However, Squidward now needs an order of six and the customers are quite rough. SpongeBob grabs Patty away from the Big Fish Tough Guy and then hides under the grill. Squidward laughs because it probably seems that it's too ridiculous to be friends with a Krabby Patty all the time without eating it. After SpongeBob gives the customer a shoe sandwich (which, as it turns out, the rough-and-tumble customer enjoys), SpongeBob and Patty go to the Pineapple Home, but he makes fire on the stove, and Gary calmly puts it out with the fire extinguisher.

Then Patrick and Sandy come to SpongeBob's House. Patrick wants to play "Tie your best friend in knots" Sandy wants to play Karate Chopping. SpongeBob however tells them he's too busy giving Patty a hairstyle makeover and makeover. Patrick is sad because he's replaced by a sandwich! Patrick then decides to make a sandwich of his own to make SpongeBob sad. SpongeBob then sings a song called Oh Baby, and enjoys his time with Patty. He takes it disco dancing; to the carnival, where he feeds Patty cotton candy, to the mall, where they ride a mechanical jellyfish, and to the beach, where scallops try to eat Patty. SpongeBob however defeats all the scallops with karate. Later they go rowing down the river, and they crash in a waterfall, and Patty falls apart in the water. SpongeBob puts Patty back together, but now Patty is soggy and gloomy looking.

SpongeBob then takes Patty, to the park for a picnic, to celebrate their six-hour anniversary, but by now Patty has spoiled and is very smelly and ugly looking. Hardly noticing Patty's deteriorating state, SpongeBob then takes Patty with him to the Krusty Krab, and asks Squidward what's on the menu? Squidward tells him he should already know, considering that he works here! Mr. Krabs is initially excited to meet SpongeBob's date, but is surprised to see that his date is a rotten krabby patty. The foul smell of Patty drives customers away, and Squidward takes Patty, who now looks really disgusting, and orders SpongeBob to dispose of it. SpongeBob refuses to get rid of Patty, but Patty becomes really rotten and thick with green rocks that SpongeBob now is able to smell and recognize how bad it is. Mr. Krabs tells him Krabby Patties are for being eaten, and once Krabs fell in love with a Krabby Patty. It was so juicy and warm, good enough to eat. Therefore, he did! In addition, SpongeBob says good-bye to Patty, and eats her, and Krabs decides to charge him 25 cents, but SpongeBob is ready to throw up, and asks for a doggy bag.
