SpongeBob's Place/Plankton Gets the Boot is the fourth episode of the tenth season of the beloved animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. The show follows the adventures of SpongeBob and his friends in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom.

In this episode, SpongeBob decides to open his own restaurant, called "SpongeBob's Place," right next door to the Krusty Krab. He wants to showcase his cooking skills to the town, and he's confident that his cuisine will be a hit. His beloved pet snail Gary is his only employee - but that won't stop him from striving for success.

However, Mr. Krabs, the owner of the Krusty Krab, is not happy about SpongeBob's new business venture. He's worried that SpongeBob's Place will draw customers away from the Krusty Krab, and he'll lose money. So, Mr. Krabs decides to sabotage SpongeBob's restaurant by digging a large hole between the two establishments.

Meanwhile, Plankton - Mr. Krabs' longtime nemesis - has been kicked out of the Chum Bucket by his computer wife, Karen. He's desperately searching for a new location for his restaurant, and he ultimately decides to move in with SpongeBob. SpongeBob welcomes Plankton with open arms, unaware of his true intentions.

As SpongeBob's Place gains popularity, patrons start to fill the restaurant - but Mr. Krabs is still determined to shut it down. He tries to bribe Gary into leaving SpongeBob's employ, but Gary is loyal to SpongeBob and refuses to budge.

Eventually, Mr. Krabs' plan backfires on him when he falls into the hole he dug and gets stuck. SpongeBob saves him, and Mr. Krabs realizes the error of his ways. He tears down the hole between the two restaurants, and SpongeBob's Place becomes a huge success.

Meanwhile, Plankton has been attempting to steal the "secret formula" for the Krusty Krab's famous Krabby Patties. But when he sees how happy SpongeBob and his customers are, he has a change of heart. He decides to close his restaurant and become a patron at SpongeBob's Place instead.

The episode is full of humorous shenanigans, witty one-liners, and heartwarming moments between beloved characters. SpongeBob's Place/Plankton Gets the Boot is a standout episode in an already entertaining and beloved series.
