The programme is a double bill, featuring two separate stories. In the first, Squidward takes on the task of cleaning up the city, while the second follows SpongeBob as he purchases a new pet for Gary. Both segments are presented together under the Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful/A Pal for Gary banner.

Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful/A Pal for Gary is a single episode that is aired as a double‑bill. The programme is listed simply as a “programme” and falls under the genre of an episode, with the two titles indicating the two distinct stories that make up the broadcast. The first half of the double‑bill follows Squidward as he takes on the task of tidying up the city. In this segment he is shown working to clean the streets and restore order to the town. The second half shifts focus to SpongeBob, who decides to purchase a new pet for his beloved snail, Gary. This part centres on SpongeBob’s effort to find a suitable companion for his friend. Both sections are presented back‑to‑back, each giving a brief look at the characters’ separate endeavours. The structure allows the audience to see Squidward’s community‑cleaning effort paired with SpongeBob’s more personal mission to bring a new animal into Gary’s life. Together, the two stories form the complete episode, linking a civic‑cleaning theme with a small act of kindness toward a pet. The double‑bill format lets the show explore two different aspects of life in Bikini Bottom within a single broadcast.
