He throws himself into the role of a detective, determined to expose the new devious plot that Plankton has cooked up. The episode follows his attempts to piece together clues and stay one step ahead of his rival. The second episode, ‘Boat Smarts’, shifts focus to practical learning. Viewers are taken through a series of advanced boating techniques, presented as a tutorial within the story. The segment aims to show how the characters improve their navigation and handling skills, offering a clear guide to more sophisticated seamanship. The final piece, ‘Good Old Whatshisname’, returns to Mr Krabs, who organises a competition. He sets the challenge, invites participants, and oversees the event, turning the episode into a straightforward contest. The focus stays on the rivalry and the spirit of competition, rounding off the programme’s trio of varied scenarios.
