Synopsis

The episode begins with SpongeBob and Patrick starting their business for babysitting, with a woman calling them down to babysit her kids. They successfully take care of her kids and start going around town, trying to find more people who need babysitting help. An old woman asks SpongeBob and Patrick to help babysit her baby, and when they accept, she runs off happily. When they go inside, they realize the baby is extremely ugly, but still treat her like a regular baby and name her Baby Prunes.

The two feed, play, and put Baby Prunes to bed, and afterwards, SpongeBob goes into the bathroom. In there, he realizes that Baby Prunes is actually an extremely old woman, but Patrick accidentally lets Baby Prunes run free due to him thinking she's a dog, before SpongeBob can tell him she's not a baby. The two get worried and try looking for her, only to end up in a sewing circle, where the old women in there spit on their cloth and rub it on them.

Meanwhile, Baby Prunes is doing extreme sports and activities, until eventually SpongeBob and Patrick reach her again. They are happy to see her again, but Baby Prunes is mad at them for treating her like a baby and beats them up. This makes Baby Prunes tired and fall asleep, and the episode ends with SpongeBob and Patrick walking into the distance with Baby Prunes in her wheelchair.
