The fish all appreciate the junk and find it helpful and try to get more of it sent down. - Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress: SpongeBob's first attempt to dive to the surface ends with him plummeting to the ground. Sandy then explains that he needs anti-gravity to dive up.

- Idea Bulb: When figuring out how he can get to the surface, several lightbulbs fly out of SpongeBob's holes, which he sucks back in.
- Iris Out: How the episode ends.
- Sure, Let's Go with That: After seeing Old Man Jenkins referring to himself as King Neptune, SpongeBob decides, "Alright, I'll play along." and declares himself as Poseidon.

Bottle Burglars
Original air date: 4/13/2018 (produced in 2017)
When Squidward accidentally throws out the Krabby Patty secret formula, he and SpongeBob must sneak into the Chum Bucket to get it back.
Bottle Burglars contains examples of:
- Call-Back: Plankton tries to open the formula bottle by dressing up as a genie, just like he did in "Spin the Bottle." This time, it doesn't work.
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Mr. Krabs is able to easily break into the Chum Bucket and take back the formula, which would have saved SpongeBob and Squidward a lot of trouble had they just told him what happened in the first place.
- Go Fetch: SpongeBob distracts Spot by throwing a spent fuel rod for him to fetch.
- Hyperventilation Bag: Squidward uses SpongeBob in this manner.
- Iris Out: Just like its sister episode.
- Made of Indestructium: Plankton uses a ton of explosives to break open the bottle that holds the formula, but it doesn't even leave a crack.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: SpongeBob puts the formula into a "circular file cabinet" which is actually a trash can, and then Squidward throws it away without noticing the formula, allowing Plankton to steal it easily.
- Ocular Gushers: SpongeBob does this after losing the formula, to the point where he removes his eyeballs and spews out tears like a fountain.
- Oh, Crap!: Squidward does this upon finding out that he and SpongeBob threw out the formula and Plankton now has it.
- Pun: SpongeBob at first shows up in a cat costume, claiming he's a cat burglar.
- Sleeping Single: Plankton and Karen's bedroom is seen, and it turns out that they sleep in separate beds.
- Sleepwalking: Karen does this while in sleep mode, and she ends up grinding SpongeBob and Squidward into chum.
- Suddenly Shouting: "Well, I've waited this long. What's a few more EXCRUCIATINGLY LONG....hours?"
