The first half of the episode, "Jolly Lodgers," sees SpongeBob welcoming a new tenant into the Pineapple after Gary the Snail accidentally destroys the former tenant's home. However, the new tenant, a bitter squid named Squidward, is less than thrilled with his new living situation and constantly complains about his surroundings.

The second half of the episode, "Biddy Sitting," focuses on Sandy Cheeks, who enlists SpongeBob's help in babysitting her pet caterpillar, named Grace. Though they are initially confident in their abilities to take care of the tiny insect, SpongeBob and Sandy soon realize that they may have bitten off more than they can chew.
