Also Appearing: Meil Goldman, Sandy, Plankton, Patrick, Sherry, A**s, Thomas Jefferson, Ricky Martin, Jewel
Plot: A visit to Brown University (Squidward's alma mater) shows that Pearl does not have enough extracurricular activities to be admitted, and being president of the Bikini Bottom chapter of the Luke Perry Fan Club does not count.
She decides to write for her high school's paper, and her first story is an interview with mayor Johnny East and his money-wasting investigation on water "theft." SpongeBob doesn't think that the story is all that good, so he replaces it with a story claiming Luke Perry gay. When Perry reads that, he files a lawsuit against the gang.
Trying to get out of the suit and to make up with Pearl, SpongeBob tries to stage a photo of Perry acting gay but Perry won't respond. He finally apologizes, and Pearl gets to interview Perry for a new article: "Luke Perry Is Straight, But It Didn't Do Me a Damn Bit of Good." SpongeBob gives Perry a copy of the revised article, but Perry rushes back to bed with Johnny East who says he will have se* with Luke only if he would stop stealing his water. Luke agrees, although he has no idea what Johnny East means.
Meanwhile, frustrated with his short size, Plankton puts a mind control device on Patrick to make him do his bidding. Patrick turns on Plankton, when the device is shorted out by the microwave oven.
