3'''A Flea in Her Dome'''
4
5[=SpongeBob=] and Patrick try to help Sandy rid her treedome of fleas.
6
7!!"A Flea in Her Dome" contains examples of:
8* ComicalOverreacting: Patrick does this when Sandy explains that a flea sucks out blood when it bites.
9--> '''Patrick:''' I'VE BEEN BITTEN BY A VAMPIRE FLEA! '''[[BigNo NOOOOOOOO!]]''' I'm gonna turn into a vampire now! It's already happening! ''(grunts, growls, and makes weird faces)''
10* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: When Patrick complains to Sandy about all the fleas attacking him.
11--> '''Patrick:''' Okay, you know what? None of this would have happened if you didn't come back with your infestation! All you've brought us is fleas, and trouble and pain and itching and a rash! And pain and fleas and itching and... pain! So... much... pain! So much pain.
12* ExplosiveBreeder: Sandy starts with one flea on her. By the end, her whole treedome explodes with waves of fleas.
13* EyeScream: At one point, Sandy screams when the flea gets into her eye.
14* FleaEpisode: When Sandy returns home from Texas, she picks up a flea, which quickly multiplies and makes her, [=SpongeBob=], and Patrick itch.
15* FreudianSlip: Happens during Sandy's party while she is itching like crazy.
16--> '''Sandy:''' ''(opens a gift box and takes out a purple sandboard)'' A new itch board? I mean, a new snowboard? Boy, I sure can't wait to scratch this down chafe mountain.\
17 '''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Don't you mean ride this down Scab Mountain?\
18 '''Sandy:''' Thank you very rawness, [=SpongeBob=] and Pat.\
19 '''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Uh, you're welcome, Sandy. Hey, uh, are you still up for some karate chops?\
20 '''Sandy:''' ''(Still scratching her neck)'' Rashy sore. I mean, sure.
21* HumanLadder: Patrick's idea of dealing with the fleas is, as usual, a useless one. He just wanted his friends to form a human ladder into the tree so he could get an apple.
22* OcularGushers: [=SpongeBob=] does this at the beginning of the episode when Sandy's gone for 2 whole days. Patrick also does this when he hears about that.
23* ScissorsCutsRock: Sandy attempts to keep the fleas at bay with a flea collar, but after fighting [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick over it she just wraps the collar around the three of them so the fleas can't get any of them. However, the fleas had already started to multiply enough that they had enough offspring to blitz through the three of them and ''eat'' the collar.
24* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the fleas start multiplying, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick try to make a break for it. But the fleas block the exit.
25* SeriesContinuityError: [=SpongeBob=] is shown to not know what fleas are, but in "Squirrel Jokes" he mentions fleas in one of his jokes.
26* SuddenAnatomy: Patrick grows a Squidward-esque nose when he mentions all the things he misses about Sandy (to which [=SpongeBob=] replies that he's thinking of Squidward). He later grows a Sandy-like nose during his FreakOut when the squirrel explains to him why a flea bites.

29'''The Donut of Shame'''
30
31Patrick takes [=SpongeBob's=] donut but can't stop feeling guilty for what he did.
32
33!!"The Donut of Shame" contains examples of:
34* BaitAndSwitch: Upon waking up at [=SpongeBob's=] house, Patrick remembers they were up past 8:30, saying "things get ''real'' crazy after 8:30". We then see a flashback of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick having a tea party with stuffed animals.
35* ForbiddenFruit: Subverted with the donut. Patrick thinks he took it from [=SpongeBob=], but [=SpongeBob=] reveals it was indeed meant for him.
36* GoodAngelBadAngel: An angel donut and a devil donut appear on Patrick's shoulders.
37* GravityIsAHarshMistress: One of Patrick's ideas to hide the donut is to put it in the attic. He starts running up the stairs (that don't exist), only to realize he doesn't have an attic. And falls. And then makes the same mistake again.
38* HonestyAesop: Patrick believes the donut he took was for [=SpongeBob=] and feels guilty over it, and tries to hide the truth; eventually he decides to let it all out once he comes over. To his surprise, [=SpongeBob=] is not mad he took the donut -- it was for Patrick after all because the party they had was his own birthday.
39* ShaggyDogStory: After spending the whole episode feeling guilty that he took [=SpongeBob's=] donut from him. [=SpongeBob=] reveals that he gave the donut to him last night as a birthday present.
40* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Patrick spends the entire segment trying to hide the donut, from burying it in the ground to flushing it down the toilet. By the time it's finally eaten by him and Spongebob, Spongebob starts convulsing due to how unspeakably soiled that donut was.
41* TakeAThirdOption: Patrick imagines an angel and devil donut trying to convince him to eat/don't eat the donut; the two donuts argue until the devil donut suggests to put a chain on the donut so Patrick can eat it and take it out when [=Spongebob=] wants it. Even the angel donut has to admit that the devil donut's idea was pretty clever. Too bad the idea doesn't work because Patrick took the donut out too early.
42* YouMonster: Patrick imagines [=SpongeBob=] saying this to him after stepping on his donut.
43
44----
45'''The Krusty Plate'''
46
47[=SpongeBob=] tries to clean a nasty spot off of a Krusty Krab plate.
48
49!!"The Krusty Plate" contains examples of:
50* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Since when do spots resist cleaning?
51* BittersweetEnding: Spongebob successfully manages to get the spot off the plate, but as a result of the overkill he had to resort to to get it off, he ends up destroying the Krusty Krab, with Mr. Krabs getting angry at him for it.
52* BottleEpisode: The entire episode takes place at the Krusty Krab, outside of two brief cutaways at Mr. Krabs' house.
53* IWillShowYouX: When [=SpongeBob=] finally gets the spot of the plate with the super laser, having destroyed the Krusty Krab in the process, just as Mr. Krabs shows up:
54-->'''Mr. Krabs:''' Oh, ''this'' time you've done it, boy! What have you got to say for yourself?\
55'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' ''[shows Mr. Krabs the clean plate]'' The platter's all clean, Mr. Krabs.\
56'''Mr. Krabs:''' Oh, I'll clean ''your'' platter! ''[chases [=SpongeBob=] around the ruins of the restaurant]'' Come here, you!
57* MadeOfIndestructium: The spot that won't come off the plate.
58* MediumShiftGag: The live action StockFootage of an underwater atomic explosion (from Dying For Pie) is reused in this episode.
59* MinimalistCast: [=SpongeBob=] and Mr. Krabs are the only two characters to appear in this episode, aside from a brief cameo of two customers leaving the Krusty Krab.
60* NoodleIncident: The last time [=SpongeBob=] was left alone at the Krusty Krab, the whole place was on fire.
61--> '''Mr. Krabs:''' Should've never left you alone with a lit blowtorch and me roller skates.
62* ShoutOut: When [=SpongeBob=] is talking to the plate before he fires the laser, his speech and accent are a reference to the ''Film/JamesBond'' movie ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}''.
63** When [=SpongeBob=] says, "It may end life as we know it, but I am crossing the beams!," it is a reference to ''Film/Ghostbusters1984''.
64* SpitShine: One of [=SpongeBob's=] attempts to clean the spot off the plate.
65* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [=SpongeBob=] eventually resorts to using a ''laser'' to clean the plate. Justified as he had tried everything else at that point.
