4
5Squidward gets an injury at the Krusty Krab and forces Mr. Krabs to pamper him or he'll call the OWS.
6----
7!!Tropes:
8* BaitAndSwitchCompassion: After the accident, Mr. Krabs rushes over to Squidward in concern.
9-->'''Mr. Krabs:''' Oh no! Please, no! This is terrible! ''(bursts into tears)'' Are you hurt?\
10'''Squidward:''' Oh, well. Thank you for ask-\
11'''Mr. Krabs:''' I wasn't talking to you! ''(picks up some of the buns)'' Don't worry, papa's here.
12* BigNo: Mr. Krabs lets one out, followed by a BigWhy, when he hears he'll be fined one dollar.
13* BlatantLies: Squidward says he was working hard before his “injury”, a clear sign of his fakery. We all know what kind of employee [[LazyBum Squidward]] is.
14* BonesDoNotBelongThere: Lampshaded: Squidward, a cephalopod, states that he twisted his ankle, to which Mr. Krabs states he was unaware even had ankles.
15* CallBack: At one point, an injured Patrick says, "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E14WelcomeToTheChumBucketFrankendoodle Finland]]".
16* CaughtOnTape: When it seems as though Squidward's ruse has succeeded after [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick call the OWS for help in investigating the accident, it quickly falls apart when Mr. Krabs remembers the surveillance camera he set up in the storage room, which recorded Squidward not only faking his injury, but trying to sleep on the job, as well.
17* {{Foreshadowing}}: When [=SpongeBob=] recreated Squidward's bun shelf accident with Patrick, the latter keeps falling very differently from how Squidward did. At first glance, it seems like a hopeless attempt, but it was clear foreshadowing later on, that Squidward's accident was done by him slacking during work.
18* LaserGuidedKarma: PlayedForLaughs. After it's revealed that Squidward's injury was due to him trying to nap during his shift, Mr. Krabs forces Squidward to pop barnacles on his back. The end result: Squidward screams like hell.
19* LazyBum: Squidward didn’t break his leg and was just lying down on the job.
20* NonSequiturThud: Patrick spouts these due to [=SpongeBob=] trying to re-create Squidward's accident by repeatedly smashing Patrick over the head with a shelf. At one point, saying "Pudding." and later saying "Breakfast...green...[[CallBack Finland]]."
21* ObfuscatingDisability: Squidward faked his injuries the whole time.
22* OhCrap: Squidward when he learns that the storage room has surveillance cameras.
23* ScreamDiscretionShot: PlayedForLaughs. Happens when Mr. Krabs pops barnacles on Squidward's back, and again at the end when Squidward is forced to pop barnacles on Mr. Krabs's back.
24* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: After Squidward's deception was revealed, he was forced to pop all the back barnacles on Mr. Krabs.
25* TemptingFate: When he has to work the register, Mr. Krabs is relieved there are no customers, only to be met with a long line of anchovies.
26* TruthInTelevision: During an investigation, you will notice a number of aspects that doesn't fit a witness's description.
27* WoundedGazelleGambit: Squidward pulls this off on Mr. Krabs until he was found out.

31'''The Other Patty'''
32
33'''Original air date''': 6/25/2011 ''(produced in 2010)''
34
35 Mr. Krabs and Plankton share a rivalry with a new burger joint.
36
37!!Tropes:
38* BigNo: Mr. Krabs and Plankton scream one in unison when the Flabby Patty formula slips out of their hands.
39* CallBack: [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS5E1FriendOrFoe Mr. Krabs and Plankton's former friendship was brought up again.]]
40* ChasedOffIntoTheSunset: The episode ends with Mr. Krabs and Plankton using their newly established "cooperation" to chase [=SpongeBob=] into the distance.
41* EnemyMine: [=SpongeBob=] wants Mr. Krabs and Plankton to work together to sneak into the Flabby Patty restaurant.
42* {{Foreshadowing}}:
43** [=SpongeBob=] seems relatively calm in the instances of the discovery of the Flabby Patty restaurant. It turns out ''he'' is the one responsible for such.
44** Note that the Flabby Patty first appears right after the scene where [=SpongeBob=] wonders, "If only there was some way to bring you two back together."
45* ExplosiveLeash: An edible variant where Mr. Krabs took measures of the security where all Krabby Patties explode at 10 feet beyond the Krusty Krab, which Plankton learns the hard way. A female fish mentions that they have to chew before swallowing, which the male fish learns the hard way as well.
46-->'''Female Fish:''' Never listens to me.
47* FormerFriendsPhoto: When reminding Mr. Krabs and Plankton of the two's past friendship, [=SpongeBob=] pulls out a photo of them from when they were friends.
48* MediationBackfire: [=SpongeBob=] reveals in the end that he started the Flabby Patty to help Mr. Krabs and Plankton's friendship. The two respond by chasing after him, with intent to beat him up.
49* ShoutOut: [=SpongeBob=] yelling "The fish hooks are coming!" is a reference to [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution Paul Revere]] saying "The British are coming!"
50* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Mr. Krabs and Plankton when reluctantly taking [=SpongeBob=]'s idea of working together to get the secret formula.
51* TemptingFate: After hearing about the new restaurant, Mr. Krabs states that he's sure his customers will remain loyal. But once the customers get whiff of the flabby patty, they disappear into thin air.
52* TotemPoleTrench: [=SpongeBob's=] plan involves Mr. Krabs and Plankton doing this, except with Plankton carrying Mr. Krabs.
53* UngratefulBastard: How do Mr. Krabs and Plankton repay [=SpongeBob=] for attempting to restore their friendship? By chasing after him with intent to beat him up. Granted, the two of them did get seriously injured multiple times in the process, [[JustifiedTrope so their anger over all of that being for nothing is at least understandable]].
54* VisibleOdor: Plankton is drawn to the scent of the flabby patty.
55* WeUsedToBeFriends: [=SpongeBob=] mentions Mr. Krabs and Plankton's old friendship through a picture.
56* WingdingEyes: After tasting a sample of the flabby patty, Plankton's eye turns into a countdown from 3 before he flies off like a rocket.
