Synopsis[]

One morning, Mr. Krabs is sorting his money, when he finds it covered in kid germs. He leaves the room for just a moment, and baby Pearl has already left it a mess, so he needs to hire a babysitter. All the campers seem unfit, including SpongeBob, who wants to take the job. Mr. Krabs gets the idea to leave Pearl with Lady Upturn and Regigille. Pearl chews on Upturn's necklace and farts, so she decides to move her somewhere less sophisticated. Upturn brings Pearl to the Pontoon cabin, where Bubble Bass takes her in. Pearl plays a board game with them, and does good, but then soils her diaper.

Bubble Bass then leaves Pearl with the anchovies. They move her out after she swallows one of them, and they give her to SpongeBob. He brings Pearl back to his cabin, where Patrick and Sandy are playing chess. Squidward is playing his clarinet, and he gets frustrated with Pearl and SpongeBob, so he tells them to take a walk. SpongeBob takes Pearl out in her stroller, and Nobby and Narlene suddenly show up. Pearl is dizzy from not having enough air, so Narlene takes out a vintage container of it. Pearl pays Nobby to take her place in the stroller. SpongeBob finds out, and worries about Pearl getting lost.

SpongeBob panics and goes back to his cabin, but Patrick and Sandy are still busy. Squidward worries that they will get in trouble if Krabs finds out, so they go outside. Squidward plays his clarinet to attract Pearl, since she likes his playing. They find Pearl, who is still dizzy and wandering off. SpongeBob and Squidward get stuck in an air vent while chasing her, which launches them onto a large moose snail.

The moose snail begins beating them up, so Pearl uses her air bottle and beats the moose snail up. She rides it and has them push SpongeBob and Squidward, who are sleeping in the stroller, back to the cabin. Pearl returns to her spot outside the Yacht cabin, where Krabs awards Lady Upturn a badge. Krabs calls out SpongeBob and Squidward for being irresponsible and sleeping, while Patrick chases Sandy, frustrated over their game of chess.

Trivia[]

General[]

• This episode was initially called "Pearl-tato," with the only difference being that the word "Hot" was added.

Episode references[]

• A reference to "Swamp Mates" is made when Bubble Bass says that the basement is full of water, referring to the ending of said episode.

Cultural references[]

• The episode's title is a pun on the game hot potato.
