==Synopsis==
Patrick and Squidina are recording a "Pardon My Garden" segment for ''[[The Patrick Show!]]'', where Patrick does in-home gardening. Squidina suggests to do the segment outside, where Patrick attempts to plant a seed, but the seeds are repeatedly taken by a root underground. Patrick fishes out the root, who introduces himself as Shmandrake. Cecil, Bunny, and GrandPat come to investigate Shmandrake, who offers the family a wish on the condition of staying at their house.
[[File:A Root Galoot 031.png|thumb|200px|The Star family meeting Shmandrake.]]
The family attempt to impress Shmandrake to get the wish out of him. Shmandrake soon requests sleep, as the family leave, with Squidina observing him. GrandPat, Cecil, and Bunny fantasize about their wishes, while Patrick struggles to think of his. A thought bubble Patrick gives the actual one the idea to talk to Shmandrake before the rest of the family can.
Shmandrake tries to watch TV, but finds Patrick on every channel. Patrick continues to think of his wish while GrandPat, Bunny and Cecil try to impress him. Shmandrake, however, refuses to offer a wish to any of them. The Star family feed Shmandrake several things to eat, hoping that he will offer them the wish, but Shmandrake still does not give the wish to any of them.
Patrick asks Squidina for help to impress Shmandrake, but Squidina reveals that Shmandrake does not offer any wishes and tricks people into thinking he does. Patrick misinterprets what Squidina says and attempts to pamper Shmandrake, offering him to use a tanning bed. Patrick becomes tired later on, with the rest of the family already sleeping. They are waken up by a smell, revealed to be steam coming from the tanning bed, as Shmandrake ends up cooked.
[[File:A Root Galoot 180.png|thumb|200px|The Star family eating Shmandrake.]]
The Star family eat Shmandrake, as his head soon revives. Shmandrake heads outside of the house in disbelief, but walks into Squidina, who threatens to bury him if she does not get a wish. She wishes that the family did not find Shmandrake to begin with, which Shmandrake is relieved at, and grants the wish. Things are reset to when Patrick is gardening, except Patrick finds a genie lamp this time. Squidina groans at this and wishes that "this cartoon was over," and the wish is granted, ending the episode.

Synopsis

Patrick and Squidina are recording a "Pardon My Garden" segment for The Patrick Show!, where Patrick does in-home gardening. Squidina suggests to do the segment outside, where Patrick attempts to plant a seed, but the seeds are repeatedly taken by a root underground. Patrick fishes out the root, who introduces himself as Shmandrake. Cecil, Bunny, and GrandPat come to investigate Shmandrake, who offers the family a wish on the condition of staying at their house.

The family attempt to impress Shmandrake to get the wish out of him. Shmandrake soon requests sleep, as the family leave, with Squidina observing him. GrandPat, Cecil, and Bunny fantasize about their wishes, while Patrick struggles to think of his. A thought bubble Patrick gives the actual one the idea to talk to Shmandrake before the rest of the family can.

Shmandrake tries to watch TV, but finds Patrick on every channel. Patrick continues to think of his wish while GrandPat, Bunny and Cecil try to impress him. Shmandrake, however, refuses to offer a wish to any of them. The Star family feed Shmandrake several things to eat, hoping that he will offer them the wish, but Shmandrake still does not give the wish to any of them.

Patrick asks Squidina for help to impress Shmandrake, but Squidina reveals that Shmandrake does not offer any wishes and tricks people into thinking he does. Patrick misinterprets what Squidina says and attempts to pamper Shmandrake, offering him to use a tanning bed. Patrick becomes tired later on, with the rest of the family already sleeping. They are waken up by a smell, revealed to be steam coming from the tanning bed, as Shmandrake ends up cooked.
