This is for almost getting us killed!" She then walks out of his office while carrying a bag of money, saying, "And this is for my submarine, Matilda!"
44* BatmanGambit: Krabs intentionally sends [=SpongeBob=] on a wild goose chase for bogus ingredients, correctly predicting that Plankton would follow and eventually steal said bogus ingredients. While his rival was busy, Krabs went down to the Barg-N-Mart and got the ''actual'' ingredients for the formula.
45* ButtMonkey: Plankton's role in this episode is nothing but slapstick and being constantly thrown under the bus.

52* ICallItVera: Sandy calls her submarine "Matilda".
53* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [=SpongeBob=] is relieved that he didn’t cause the “apocalypse” and doesn’t mind having risked his life for nothing. Sandy on the other hand is ''furious'' and proceeds to beat the devil out of Mr. Krabs for endangering her best friend, herself, costing her tail and her submarine.
54* ShaggyDogStory: After [=SpongeBob=] and Sandy get all the ingredients on the list, Plankton manages to steal them all. Sandy then has to give the fur on her tail to yeti krab, who is angry at having his hair stolen by them and Plankton. When [=SpongeBob=] tells Mr. Krabs what happened, he reveals that he gave them a fake shopping list, so he can shop for the real ingredients without Plankton following him. Sandy is not amused about Mr. Krabs putting their lives in danger for nothing.
55* ShoutOut: When Sandy rolls up her sleeves just as she is about to beat up Mr. Krabs, her arms as well as the anchor tattoo is a nod to ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}''.
