In Free Samples, SpongeBob takes on a new task at the Krusty Krab where he has to offer free samples of Krabby Patties to anyone passing by. However, things go horribly wrong when he begins to give out too many samples, and the customers become extremely greedy, taking advantage of the free food, and demanding more and more patties. With orders piling up, SpongeBob becomes overwhelmed and begins to panic. He's soon left with a mess to clean up and a horde of hungry customers to manage.

Meanwhile, in Home Sweet Rubble, SpongeBob's home is destroyed when a bulldozer accidentally runs over his pineapple. Left without a home, SpongeBob is forced to find a new place to live and decides to move in with his best friend Squidward. But, living with Squidward proves to be quite the challenge. SpongeBob's cheerful and playful personality clashes with Squidward's grumpy and reclusive nature. Will they be able to coexist?

In Free Samples, SpongeBob's job at the Krusty Krab becomes hectic when he is put in charge of offering free Krabby Patty samples to the customers. Initially, the idea seems great as it attracts more customers to the restaurant, and SpongeBob is enjoying the attention he is getting from his co-workers and customers alike. But, things turn sour when some of the customers begin to take advantage of the freebies. They begin to demand more than their fair share of patties, and SpongeBob is unable to turn them down.

The situation escalates, and soon, every customer in the restaurant is demanding more Krabby Patties. SpongeBob becomes frazzled and begins to question whether he will ever get through this ordeal. As he struggles to keep up with the demands of the customers, he enlists the help of his friends to keep the customers happy and satisfied. In the end, SpongeBob learns an important lesson about the power of free items and how it can affect people's behavior.

In Home Sweet Rubble, SpongeBob's pineapple gets destroyed during a freak accident, leaving him homeless. He realizes that he needs a new place to live and decides to move in with his neighbor and friend, Squidward. While Squidward reluctantly agrees, SpongeBob quickly realizes that living with Squidward is not going to be the easy, breezy experience he had imagined.

Squidward is not fond of SpongeBob's childish and carefree antics and is often irritated by his behavior. From jellyfishing in the house to doing laundry with a bubble wand, Squidward becomes increasingly frustrated with SpongeBob. However, despite all the challenges, SpongeBob tries his best to be the perfect roommate and make things work. With plenty of laughs and lessons learned along the way, the two friends eventually reach a happy middle ground.
