Narrator: and now, onto the next part:
(Fade to Plankton in a barely lit room, on his laptop. He is noticeably unkempt, and there are soda cans lying all over the floor. Plankton is mindlessly clicking and typing away)
Plankton: what else about the government do I not know… i must know more… (shakes computer) I MUST. KNOW. MORE!
(Fade to the outside of the room, SpongeBob, Squidward and Mr. Krabs are standing outside his door)
Squidward: So, he's in there?
Krabs: Yeah. He has been reading a ton of those awful conspiracy theory forums. He says he doesn't actually believe that crap, but… He hasn't left his room in days.
SpongeBob: But I thought you hated Plankton. 
Krabs: No shit I do. But that doesn't mean I can't be concerned for his well-being. We all need to talk him out of this.
(Cut back to Plankton in his room. He takes a sip of soda as he gags, coughs, and make generally otherworldly noises)
Plankton: All the pieces are coming into place… no wonder why they lied…
(There is a knock on his door. Plankton screams, and the gang slowly walk inside)
Krabs: heyyyyyy, Plankton.
Plankton: WHADDAYA WANT?
Krabs: Well, uh…
Squidward: We're here to talk to you about your latest… is addiction an appropriate word?
Plankton: addiction? ADDICTION? WHAT FUCKING ADDICTION?! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY GODDAMN ROOM!
SpongeBob: well, uh, we've noticed… uh…
Krabs: we've noticed you've been spending a whole lotta time on those conspiracy theory forums. We are all very worried about how much time you spend reading them.
Plankton: ARE YOU SUGGESTING I HAVE A PROBLEM? IS THAT WHAT YOURE SUGGESTING? HOW MANY GODDAMN, MOTHERFUCKNG PIECE OF SHIT TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANY OF THIS! I JUST READ TO MAKE FUN!
Krabs: Plankton, you haven't left your room in days, and there are soda cans all over the damn floor.
Plankton: thats it. GET. OUT.
Krabs: but-
Plankton: GET OUT!!!!
(They all sulk out the door, but Squidward stops in the hallway before walking back in)
Squidward: Hey, I'm just wondering… 
Plankton: Didn't I tell you to scram?
Squidward: Oh, yeah, but I just wanted to ask, since I am a little curious… What are these forums saying anyway?
Plankton: Get ready to have your mind blown.
(Squidward begins reading with Plankton, periodically nodding, until they both gasp)
Plankton: No. Way.
Squidward: I had no idea…
(Fade to Rex walking out of rehab)
Rex: A week… without cocaine… a week… Without cocaine…
(Krabs and SpongeBob walk by)
Krabs: Oh, is that Rex? Hi, Rex! I haven't seen you since your little, uh, outburst.
Rex: (weakly) oh, hi SpongeBob and Krabs.
SpongeBob: And Squidward, you forgot- (notices Squidward isn't with them) hey, where's Squidward?
Krabs: Who knows? Maybe he went home to play his awful clarinet. 
SpongeBob: huh.
Krabs: So, anyways, how are you doing, Rex? How's your addiction?
Rex: Well… they're fixing it pretty well, but… I have to go a week without cocaine to prove I can do it. 
Krabs: We're sure you can do it. Can't be too hard, right?
Rex: I dunno. That stuff meant so much to me. I don’t wanna have a breakdown let on by a withdrawal.
SpongeBob: Well, we’re here for you.
Rex: Really?
Krabs: No, he’s just saying that to sound good.
(SpongeBob slaps Krabs)
Rex: Well, fuck you too. I’m going ho- (facepalms) DAMNIT! I forgot I destroyed my house!
Krabs: Oh, we helped clean it for you.
Rex: What, really?
Krabs: Yep. 
Rex: Thanks, you two. I’m gonna go home. 
Krabs: Wait, before you go, if you see Plankton, please watch what he’s doing. He’s been very on the fritz lately.
Rex: Uh, why?
Krabs: He’s been reading lots of stupid conspiracy theory forums, claiming he “just wants to make fun of them.” 
Rex: Oh, god, he was doing that before I destroyed my home. 
Krabs: Really?
Rex: Yup. Anyways, I’m off. (walks off)
SpongeBob: Oh, maybe we should check to see what Squidward is up to. 
Krabs: ehh, nah. I'm way too tired. (Walks off)
SpongeBob: eh, me too. (Walks off as well)
(Fade to Rex pacing around his own house. We see several clips of Rex thinking about cocaine, going crazy trying to stop himself from doing it, and shivering in the corner. The sun goes down)
Rex: Good. Good. Day 1 complete. Wait..
Only day 1? Fucking shit… this is gonna kill me…
