'''Squidina's Little Helper'''

'''Original air date''': 8/6/2021

Overworked and exhausted from running the show, Squidina hires an assistant: a young crab named Fentin Finkle. However, Fentin turns out to be stealing the show for himself.

!!Squidina's Little Helper contains examples of:
* TheBadGuyWins: Fentin actually gets away with stealing the ''Patrick Show'' and even gets a network contract of six seasons. The Stars are unable to stop him.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Squidina wakes up and says "I'm ready! ...to get this show on the road!", referencing [=SpongeBob's=] "I'm ready!" catchphrase.
* CharacterisationClickMoment: While she was initially portrayed as more demeaning and sarcastic, this episode brings Squidina's characterization closer to how it'll be for the rest of the show. Not only is she shown to be an extremely competent showrunner for someone who's only eight years old, but she also has no problems with simply letting Patrick's silliness drive the show.
* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses mainly on Squidina.
* DownerEnding: Squidina's job is totally gone, the Stars are left with no furnishing in their house, and Fentin is enjoying massive success.
* LadiesAndGerms: Patrick addresses his viewers with "babies and gentlemen..." We then see that his audience consists of babies and fancy-looking fish, one of whom marvels, "That's us!"
* NoEnding: The episode has an EsotericHappyEnding that fails to address how Squidina got the ''Patrick Show'' back, or what the Star family will do now that their house has had all the furniture destroyed.

'''I Smell a Pat'''

'''Original air date''': 8/13/2021

Patrick's show is interrupted by an awful stench, so he goes around using different noses to find out exactly what is causing it.

!!I Smell a Pat contains examples of:
* MutagenicFood: [[LethalChef Cecil]] prepares dinner. When it's done, he tastes it, and immediately transforms into a monster. He doesn't mind, though.
* NoEnding: Granny Tentacles releases a living food monster on the neighborhood, then smells something strange off-screen. The episode then ends with no resolution.
* SmellySkunk: Slappy gets sprayed by a skunk, with the smell being so bad that his face melts off.
