History

"The Algae's Always Greener"

Plankton indirectly mentions her and her husband when he says, "Your parents must have been like, part computer or something."

"Single Cell Anniversary"

It is Karen and Plankton's anniversary. Karen has accessed the Krabby Patty secret formula and is willing to give it to Plankton if he gives her something. Plankton leaves.

Later, Template:Data:Links notices that Plankton needs help and agrees to help him think of something for Karen. Soon, they find out that she is a music lover. SpongeBob teaches Plankton how to sing. Later, Plankton sings a love song for Karen with the help of SpongeBob and Template:Data:Links. As promised, she starts downloading the Krabby Patty formula. However, she starts crying, which she is not supposed to be able to do, and W.I.F.E.-O.-M.A.T.I.C. short-circuits.

She turns on again, but instead of showing Karen, W.I.F.E. shows "E.M.I.L.P.." Plankton asks what that is and the full title shows up as, "Emergency Mother-In-Law Program." He is horrified to hear it as his mother-in-law then shows up on the screen complains about Plankton and wishes that Karen could have married an ATM machine, who is someone with money.

"Plankton Gets the Boot"

At the end of the episode, Karen mentions how her mother, referring to her as "motherboard," warned Karen about Plankton and that she should have listened to her.
