The "subplot" was deleted long ago.


* BrokenBase: The quality of the episode is often contested, due to the torment Plankton received. It's considered by fans one of, if not the worst episode in the series, as many feel that his torture and his suicide attempt was undeserved, saying that Plankton hasn't done anything that grievous to deserve it. Some others feel that his suicide attempt was deserved, saying that Plankton ''would'' try to murder other people in his attempts to obtain the secret formula if he were left unstopped (see the subpoint under AlternateCharacterInterpretation above). Lampshaded InUniverse by [=SpongeBob=] when confronting Mr. Krabs over the way he treated Plankton.

* DesignatedVillain: When [=SpongeBob=] offers Plankton a chance of revenge towards Krabs, it is meant to be a villainous act clearly seen from the way Plankton laughs and smiles like he is a bad guy. But to fans who felt hurt that Krabs is so willing to stoop so low to drive Plankton to suicide, it is a well-deserved KickTheSonOfABitch towards his rival only for it to be [[YankTheDogsChain yanked]] from him when [=SpongeBob=] betrays Plankton.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Plankton meeting his granddad in his dreams. This would have been a great opportunity to be a spiritual pep talk of sorts to help Plankton get over his fear of whales, but instead he points out how brave Plankton is for standing in the gastric acid, driving him even further into a panic.
