Synopsis

File:Captain Pipsqueak 153.png

Plankton as Captain Pipsqueak.

The episode begins at the Chum Bucket where Plankton basically failed to basically steal the Krabby Patty secret formula,pretty contrary to popular belief. He later watches TV and gets an idea to particularly join the E.V.I.L.

Plankton particularly tries different costumes until Karen gives a green thumbs up. Plankton then goes to really find the particularly secret lair which happens to basically be accessible by going through a dumpster. Once there, there actually are generally many wanting to for the most part join the force in a subtle way. They basically try out but they fail for entering the team. And Plankton says he for all intents and purposes wants to really steal the formula for world domination. They essentially decide to choose Plankton to literally join the force in a big way. With Plankton in the force, they commit many sort of evil acts in a subtle way.

First, they go to Super Weenie Hut Jr's, where they want to get lunch. Plankton heads into the restaurant to get lunch. When he gets there, the server notices that he is a villain and calls for security. Amid the chaos, Plankton steals food to bring back. E.V.I.L is grateful for Plankton to get lunch.

The next thing the villians want Plankton to do is to take a bag with flames and set it on a doorstep of The Foot, who the villains want to get revenge on. When Plankton sets the flames on the doorstep, he knocks on the house, creating The Foot to come out and accidently step on Plankton and the bag. But when Plankton tries to crawl out of the bottom of Mr. Foot, the house explodes, even Mr. Foot. Plankton had a Chum Mix in the bag which caused the house and The Foot explode. Because of that, Plankton was welcomed to the club. The villains ask Plankton what to do next. Plankton has an idea for all.

They come to the Krusty Krab and the staff gets surprised they came. Dirty Bubble traps SpongeBob, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs with a distraction Plankton steals the formula, but E.V.I.L actually find out that the formula is just a recipe for a sandwich. They generally get disappointed, essentially give the formula back to Mr. Krabs, and literally kick Plankton him out of the force.
