Synopsis
Bunny is cleaning around the Star house until she receives a call from Agnes, who informs her that Sally Minilla's pigsty is hers to claim after she passed away. Bunny departs for Klopnod and leaves the rest of the family in charge of the house in her absence. With the Stars being so used to Bunny cleaning up after them, they drop all of their stuff on the floor, leaving the house a mess for the next six days. At the end of the week, Patrick answers Bunny's call, with her saying that she is coming back home. Cecil panics, realizing that the family now has to get the house clean. Squidina assigns rooms for each family member to clean; her taking the kitchen, Patrick taking his room, Cecil taking the bathroom, and GrandPat taking the basement.
GrandPat, while in the basement, notices a desert resulting from the sand and grabs a vacuum cleaner from his beard. The vacuum cleaner explodes from all the sand sucked up, turning into a mini tornado that spits sand into GrandPat's face. GrandPat chases after the dust devil as it leaves the basement. In the kitchen, Squidina opens a sponge package, unveiling SpongeBob. SpongeBob absorbs the dirty water in the kitchen as Squidina checks the fridge, revealing a mold monster, who she forces to help mop the floors.
In the bathroom, Cecil uses his mustache to clean the floors, but then runs into Tinkle. Cecil tries to clean Tinkle, only for him to bite his hand. Patrick goes through his room, as a bunch of trash is revealed through the bedroom door. Slappy emerges from the pile of trash, and offers Patrick to give his trash to him, due to his love of him and trash.
Just as Squidina is shown with the kitchen clean, the dust devil causes a mess again and takes the mold monster with it. Cecil, now wearing Bunny's clothes, tries to clean Tinkle again, but Tinkle sees right through him. The dust devil cleans Tinkle and then runs off after licking Cecil with dirt, as Squidina, Cecil, and GrandPat all chase after it. Patrick manages to get all of his trash inside Slappy's clothes as the dust devil soon enters his room. Patrick joins with the rest of the family in chasing the dust devil, only for it to suck them all and spit them against the wall. The devil then sucks up all of the trash from Slappy and spits it around the room, creating a mess again.
Patrick notices Bunny's trash picker on his butt and uses it to poke the dust devil, resulting in all the trash being spat out across the house and the devil disappearing. With the house a mess still, Bunny arrives home as the family decides to place the trash under the carpet and a painting. Bunny arrives with the living room shown clean, as she spots a bump in the carpet. Bunny steps on the bump, resulting in the house exploding into trash, and she states that she loves the family as filthy as they are.
