Role in episode

When Patrick is accidentally brought into Business Industries, the boss quickly gets fed up with Patrick's antics and warns him that he will only give him 18 chances to prove himself worthy of being a Business Industries executive. In the montage that follows, Patrick continues to goof off, annoying the boss more and more. Eventually, he decides to fire Patrick.

In retaliation, Patrick reveals that he was not an executive, telling the boss he could not be fired due to this, only to have the boss arrest him for corporate espionage.
