Plot

At the Krusty Krab, the customers start to form a riot because Squidward is not at his post, so Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob where he is and he says that is he is in the storage room doing something that requires "complete privacy." Then, they hear a thud coming from the storage room and find Squidward, who has twisted his ankle, in a pile of buns. After Squidward explains what happened, Mr. Krabs realizes that it means he has to pay a fine to OWS. Squidward then sees it as an opportunity to blackmail Mr. Krabs unless he becomes his slave until he recovers. First Mr. Krabs fluffs a pillow for him and take over for him. Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick investigate the accident to find out if he is lying about his twisted ankle. Squidward is then seen on the roof while Mr. Krabs brings him tea. Then he is forced to massage Squidwards ankle with fry grease. But when a customer orders something, he cooks a patty with his greasy hand and gets the customer sick. And when he is forced to pop Squidwards zits, the customers leave. Then an agent from the OWS comes to the Krusty Krab to investigate. Squidward then lies about how he was hurt, saying that he saw ten instead of eleven seeds on a bun, causing him to snatch it and try to replace it with a new one, when the shelf broke and hit him in the head. When the OWS agent was about to fine Mr. Krabs, he remembered the surveillance camera he installed. When everyone watches the video, Squidward was shown sleeping on the shelf, weighing it down, and causing the chain to snap. Then, Mr. Krabs got super angry and made Squidward pay. The episode ends with Squidward popping HIS zits.

Trivia/Goofs

• It is revealed that there is an OWS poster, hidden in the stockroom.
• There were many candles while Mr. Krabs was pampering Squidward, and the customers weren't bothered. But in No Nose Knows, Patrick's scented candles annoyed everyone. This is because there is a difference between scented candles and fresh ones.
• They didn't call the OWS in The Splinter when SpongeBob got the splinter in his thumb, they just threatened to send him home. This is possibly because SpongeBob's splinter was a minor injury.
• Mr. Krabs should've temporarily closed the Krusty Krab while he was pampering Squidward, as he knew SpongeBob was investigating, so there were no workers on duty.
• Also, there were many customers in the restaurant at the time, and somehow they got their Krabby Patties.
• When Mr. Krabs said "At least we're not busy", anchovies popped up in front of the register, a possible reference to the pilot, Help Wanted, when the restaurant was swarming with them.
• When Patrick had his bandages on and was dazed, he said "Breakfast, Green, Finland." The Finland is possibly a reference to Frankendoodle, at the scene where he was in the hole. This breaks the 4th Wall.
• When the customers are leaving because they're disgusted by Squidward's back barnacles, you can hear someone say "Is THAT the secret ingredient?", and another one saying "Horrible special sauce".
• In Squidward's false flashback, the chain on the right snaps, but in reality it was the one on the left. Also he says he lays for 6 hours before getting found. However Spongebob and Mr. Krabs run in immediatly when they hear him fall.
• It is debatable as to whether the surveillance camera operates from the same room as the one in "Truth or Square." The one in Truth or Square seemed unreachable, hinting that this one works from a different surveillance room.
