(The episode starts with Shubie waiting by her front door wearing winter clothing) Shubie rolls up her sleeve and looks at her watch.
Shubie: "Come on, Susie! You're going to be late for school. Make sure you put on your jacket! It's awfully cold today." Nat walks over to Shubie dressed in winter clothing as well.
Nat: "I'm off to work, Shubie. Can you believe how cold it is today?"
Shubie: "I know! It's freezing outside. The weather report says we're supposed to get a massive snowstorm tonight. They said it could be the biggest snowstorm Bikini Bottom's had in the last fifty years! Well, I don't want to keep you, Nat. Have a good day at work." Shubie kisses Nat on the cheek.
Nat: "Thanks, Shubie!" Nat walks out the front door and heads to work. Susie skips over to Shubie.
Shubie: "You ready, Susie?"
Susie: "Yep!"
Shubie: "Okay, let's get to school."
(Scene cuts to Nat and Sadie in Sadie's Cookies later that day)
Sadie: "So Nat, do you have any plans this weekend? I was thinking maybe we could go ice skating together. Wouldn't that be romantic? Holding hands, making hearts in the ice with our skates… I mean, wouldn't that be fun?"
Nat: "Yeah that does sound like a lot of fun! I'm sure Shubie and Fred would love to come too."
Sadie: "Oh, I really don't think we need to invite them. Fred isn't even allowed to ice skate, um, due to all of his leg injuries. As for Shubie, she's much too heavy to go ice skating. She'd fall right through the ice!" Sadie laughs. Nat notices something on the TV.
Nat: "Hey, can you turn up the volume? It seems like they're talking about something important."
Sadie: "Sure." Sadie grabs the remote and turns up the volume on the TV.
(Scene cuts to the TV)
Realistic Fish Head: "We interrupt this program to give you some breaking news! For more, here's Perch Perkins."
Perch Perkins: "Hello, I'm Perch Perkins and I have an important weather update! We've just received word that the massive snowstorm that was supposed to hit Bikini Bottom tonight is now projected to be coming within the next hour! Our weather forecast predicts that this will be the largest snowstorm to hit Bikini Bottom in fifty years! It is expected that Bikini Bottom will be hit with two and a half feet of snow." Sadie's phone buzzes. Sadie checks her phone.
Sadie: "Bikini Bottom Elementary is closing early now. I guess that means I have to go pick up my step-kids."
Nat: "I'd better go pick up Susie." Sadie sighs.
Sadie: "Well, that's just great. I was so looking forward to spending today with you, Nat, but now we have to close up early." Sadie switches the sign from Open to Closed. Sadie and Nat exit the store. Sadie locks the doors.
Nat: "You think I should tell Shubie? I wonder if she knows they're letting the kids out of school early today."
Sadie: "I'm sure she knows, Nat. Come on, let's go pick up the kids." Sadie and Nat walk towards the parking lot.
(Scene cuts to Shubie working at the clothing store) Nazz-Mimi walks into the store.
Shubie: "Hi Nazz! I love your winter jacket, and those are some really cute mittens!"
Nazz: "Thanks Shubie, I love your winter coat too! I'm just here to do a little quick shopping before I have to pickup Taylor from school." Shubie looks at her watch. Shubie laughs.
Shubie: "You have plenty of time for shopping, Nazz! The kids don't get out of school for a few more hours."
Nazz: "Oh, have you not heard? They're letting the kids out of school early today because of the snowstorm. We're supposed to get quite a lot of snow soon. Bikini Bottom Elementary sent an alert to all of the parents a few minutes ago."
Shubie: "Really? Huh, that's weird. I didn't hear any alert on my phone. Oh, well no wonder I didn't hear it. I must've left my phone at home today. Silly me!" Shubie checks her coat pockets, but can't find her phone. Shubie laughs. The PA system turns on.
PA system: "Attention, all employees! This is your manager speaking. Due to the incoming snowstorm, I have decided to let all employees go home early today except for Shubie Peterson!"
Shubie: "What?!"
PA system: "Shubie, make sure to lock up the store at the end of work today. The keys are on my desk. If anyone has any questions regarding this decision, you can speak with me on Monday because I am getting out of here!" The PA system shuts off. All of the other employees run out of the store.
(Scene cuts to Nat, Susie, and Baby Billy watching some TV while sitting on the couch in their living room)
Susie: "Dad, why isn't Mom home?"
Nat: "I don't know, Susie. I'm sure she'll be here soon."
(Scene cuts to Perch Perkins on the TV)
Perch Perkins: "The snow could be coming any minute now. Bikini Bottom has advised all residents to stay indoors until the storm passes."
(Scene cuts to Shubie standing alone in the clothing store) Shubie looks at her watch. Shubie sighs. 
Shubie: "I hope Nat picked up Susie from school." Suddenly, a loud thumping noise is heard from snow hitting the mall's roof. The mall's power goes out for a brief moment before flickering back on.
Shubie: "What was that?! You know what, I think I'm going to head home. It's not like my manager will know that I left a few hours early." Shubie leaves the clothing store and walks towards the mall exit. Shubie reaches the exit.
Shubie: "Wow, there's already quite a lot of snow on the ground." Suddenly, a massive amount of snow falls from the mall's roof and lands in front of the exit. 
Shubie: "What the…" Shubie frantically tries to open the door but can't push it open due to the large pile of snow in front of the exit.
Shubie: "Oh no, I can't get out! I'm trapped in here!"
(Scene cuts to Nat anxiously waiting by a window for Shubie to come home) Nat looks at his watch. 
Nat: "It's almost 7, and Shubie still hasn't come home! The snow is really falling now. I sure hope she's alright. I'd better call the police to look for her."
(Scene cuts to Shubie wandering around the mall aimlessly) Shubie's stomach rumbles.
Shubie: "I'm getting awfully hungry, but what am I supposed to eat? Hey, is that that fancy restaurant? I've always wanted to go here with Nat. I wonder if they have any food." Shubie walks over to the restaurant and sees that it's unlocked.
Shubie: "Huh, I guess they forgot to lock it." Shubie enters the restaurant and walks over to the kitchen. Shubie notices a piece of meat lying on the counter next to an open cookbook. Shubie peers at the cookbook and sees a recipe for filet mignon.
Shubie: "Ooo! Filet mignon! That sounds delicious! I think I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!"
(Scene cuts to Shubie eating filet mignon at a table in the empty restaurant)
Shubie: "This filet mignon tastes delicious! I really need to take Nat here sometime."
(Scene cuts to Shubie finishing her meal)
Shubie: "That was a great recipe. Well, I'm stuffed. What am I going to do now? I wonder if anything else in this mall is open."
(Scene cuts to Shubie making some popcorn in the mall movie theater later that night) Shubie finishes making popcorn and walks over to the projector room. Shubie tries to turn on the projector.
Shubie: "Now let's see if I can get this thing to work. Ah, there we go! I've always wanted to see this movie." The projector turns on. Shubie puts on a pair of 3D glasses and walks into the theater. Shubie sits down and starts eating her popcorn. The movie begins.
(Scene cuts to Nat tucking Susie into her bed that night)
Susie: "Dad, is Mom coming home soon?" Nat sighs.
Nat: "I don't know, Susie. The police said that they don't know where she is. Hopefully she's okay and will be home tomorrow. Now try to get some sleep." Nat turns off the light next to Susie's bed and walks out of the room.
Susie: "I hope Mom's okay."
(Scene cuts to Shubie in the movie theater)
Brad (on the screen): "Monica, is that you?" Monica hugs Brad.
Monica (on the screen): "Oh Brad, it's so good to see you! That hour we spent apart while I went shopping was the worst hour of my life! I promise to never leave your side again. I love you, Brad."
Brad (on the screen): "I love you too, Monica." Brad and Monica kiss. The movie ends. Shubie claps.
Shubie: "What a great movie! I can't wait for the sequel!" Shubie exits the movie theater and looks at her watch.
Shubie: "Well, it's getting late. I'd better get some sleep. Now where am I going to find a place to sleep though? Aha! The mattress store! Perfect!" Shubie enters the mattress store and lays down on one of the mattresses. Shubie sighs.
Shubie: "I just hope Nat and the kids are doing okay. I can't wait to see them again." Shubie closes her eyes and goes to sleep.
(Scene cuts to Sadie shoveling her driveway the next day) Sadie notices Nat shoveling his driveway across the street. 
Sadie: "Hi Nat!" Nat looks up and sees Sadie waving at him.
Nat: "Oh, hi Sadie. Why isn't Fred helping you shovel the driveway?"
Sadie: "Fred's in the hospital. He slipped on some ice and broke his leg while shoveling the driveway this morning. Why isn't Shubie helping you shovel your driveway, Nat? Is she too busy stuffing her face right now?"
Nat: "Actually, Shubie didn't come home last night. We don't know where she is."
Sadie: "Shubie's missing?! Did you try calling her?"
Nat: "I did, but it turns out she left her phone at home yesterday. I contacted the police, and they haven't been able to find her yet. I hope nothing happened to her during the storm."
Sadie: "What if she froze to death? Yippee! This is the greatest day of my life! Finally, Nat will be all mine!" Nat looks at her in bewilderment.
Nat: "Wait, what?"
Sadie: "I mean, oh no! That is awful news, Nat! I hope the police find her soon. If there's anything I can do to help you and the kids during this time, just let me know. It's just me and the baby at home right now. I dropped the step-kids off at Mabel's after picking them up from school yesterday so they'll be staying with her and Lenny for the rest of the week."
Nat: "Thanks, Sadie. I really appreciate the offer. You're a truly great friend."
Sadie: "Anytime, Nat! It's the least I could do. So do you need any help right now?"
Nat: "No, I don't think I need any help right now. Thanks though."
Sadie: "Oh, nonsense! I really admire the fact that you think you can handle everything on your own as a big, strong, handsome man, but everyone needs help sometimes. Why don't I take care of the kids while you shovel the snow? I can even make hot chocolate for all of us!"
Nat: "Well, I'm sure the kids would love to have some hot chocolate…"
Sadie: "Great! I'll go make some! You just worry about shoveling the snow, Nat. I'll have everything in your house under control."
Nat: "Okay. Thanks Sadie!" Sadie walks away from Nat and over to Nat's house. Sadie laughs evilly. 
Sadie: "I've really outdone myself this time! With Shubie missing, Nat will surely fall in love with me! After I spend the next few days helping him and the kids, he'll forget all about her. Pretty soon we'll be married with a family of our own. I can see it all now." Sadie continues to laugh evilly.
(Scene cuts to Shubie eating some food in the mall's food court) 
Shubie: "This tastes great! I really should try the food here more often. Hey, are those the massage chairs? I've always wanted to try one!" Shubie finishes eating and sits down in the massage chair. Shubie puts a dollar in the machine to start it. The massage chair starts giving Shubie a massage.
Shubie: "Ahhhhhhh, this massage feels even better than the ones Nat gives!"
(Scene cuts to Nat sitting the couch in his living room) Sadie walks over to Nat and sits down next to him.
Sadie: "I just put the kids to bed, Nat."
Nat: "Thanks, Sadie. I can't thank you enough for helping me and the kids out today. That dinner you made tasted great, and the kids really loved the hot chocolate."
Sadie: "I'm glad to hear you liked it! I know that spaghetti and meatballs is your favorite. Would you like some hot chocolate, Nat? I made some more just for us."
Nat: "Sure, that would be great, Sadie." Sadie gets up to get the hot chocolate. Sadie comes back holding two cups of hot chocolate.
Sadie: "Here you go, Nat." Sadie hands him a cup of hot chocolate before sitting down on the couch. Nat takes a sip of his hot chocolate.
Nat: "Wow, Sadie! This hot chocolate tastes great!"
Sadie: "Thanks, Nat! So do you wanna watch something before bed?"
Nat: "Okay." Sadie grabs the remote and turns on the TV.
Realistic Fish Head: "Bikini Bottom has announced that all schools will be closed again tomorrow. Here's Perch Perkins with more news."
Perch Perkins: "I'm Perch Perkins standing outside the Bikini Bottom Mall where snowplow drivers are working tirelessly to clear the mall's massive parking lot. The mall is expected to open up again within the next two days after the parking lot has been completely cleared of snow. While plowing the mall's parking lot today, a snowplow driver found an abandoned boat belonging to local Bikini Bottomite, Shubie Peterson. Peterson, a 36 year old mother of two, went missing last night. She was last seen working at her job in the mall's clothing store. Police are speculating that she may have froze to death during yesterday's snowstorm." Sadie turns off the TV and puts her hand on Nat's shoulder.
Sadie: "Nat, I am so sorry. I know how much it must've hurt to hear that. Don't worry though, you will find someone else. Any woman would be lucky to have you."
Nat: "I don't want anyone else though. I only want Shubie."
Sadie: "I know, but be strong, Nat. You'll get through this, and I'll be there to help you every step of the way. I'll stay here for the next few days and help you take care of the kids. I wouldn't want you to have to take care of them all by yourself during this difficult time."
Nat: "Wow Sadie, I don't even know what to say. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend."
Sadie: "Of course, Nat. I would do anything for you. Now let's get to bed. A good night's sleep will help you forget all about Shubie." Nat and Sadie walk upstairs to bed.
(Scene cuts to Shubie waking up in the mattress store the next day)
Shubie: "This mattress is comfy, but I miss sleeping next to Nat." Shubie gets off of the mattress and exits the mattress store. Shubie walks over to the mall's exit and sees that it's still blocked by a pile of snow.
Shubie: "Barnacles! I'm still trapped in here! Hey, what's that noise? Is that a snowplow boat in the parking lot? Help! Help me! I'm trapped in here! Someone, please! Help!" Shubie starts pounding on the mall's doors.
(Scene cuts to a snowplow driver who is listening to loud music through his headphones) Shubie is heard pounding from inside the mall.
Shubie (from inside the mall): "Help! Help! I'm trapped inside the mall!"
Snowplow Driver: "Spend my days in the Jellyfish fields, trying to fish you off my mind! Spend my nights at the Goo Lagoon, experiencing the high tide!"
Shubie (from inside the mall): "Help! Help! Somebody, please!" The snowplow driver drives away.
(Scene cuts to Shubie inside the mall) Shubie sighs.
Shubie: "It's no use. I hope they move this pile of snow soon. I just hope that Nat and the kids aren't worried sick about me. Hey, is that a TV? I wonder if there's anything important on." Shubie grabs a remote and turns on the TV. Static appears on the TV. Shubie tries flipping through the channels but none of them work.
Shubie: "Darn it. There's no signal. Well, I guess I could do some window shopping. I just hope Nat and the kids are doing okay." Shubie turns off the TV and wanders about the mall.
(Scene cuts to Nat waking up that morning) Sadie walks over to him carrying a tray full of breakfast food.
Sadie: "Good morning, Nat! I made you breakfast in bed!"
Nat: "Wow, thanks Sadie! This breakfast smells great!" Sadie puts the tray in front of Nat. 
Sadie: "You're very welcome, Nat! I doubt Shubie ever made you breakfast in bed." Nat starts eating.
Nat: "This is delicious, Sadie!"
Sadie: "I'm glad you like it! I know that pancakes are your favorite breakfast food."
Nat: "How'd you know that, Sadie?"
Sadie: "I read your diary."
Nat: "What?"
Sadie: "Nothing! Why don't I go feed the babies? Enjoy your breakfast, Nat!" 
Nat: "Thanks, Sadie!" Sadie exits Nat's bedroom and walks downstairs to the kitchen where Baby Billy and Baby Rechid are sitting. Sadie starts feeding the babies.
Sadie: "You two are going to be great step-siblings soon. Although, I wouldn't mind it if Shubie's family took Susie and Baby Billy. That would clear up more space for the 14 children Nat and I will have together." Sadie hears Nat walking down the stairs towards the kitchen.
Nat: "Wow, Sadie! The house looks spotless!" Sadie walks out into the hallway where it is shown that the house is very clean.
Sadie: "Yep, I cleaned the whole house while you were sleeping this morning. It was the least I could do. It seemed like Shubie hadn't cleaned the house in ages! She was probably too busy stuffing her face all day."
Nat: "Well, thanks again, Sadie. Is there anything you need me to do?"
Sadie: "Nope! I have everything under control. Why don't you just relax and keep looking handsome!"
(Scene cuts to Shubie wandering about the mall) Shubie looks at her watch.
Shubie: "Well, it's only been a few hours and I've already checked out every single store in the mall. No wonder they say that malls are dying these days. What could I possibly do now? Hey, is that Sadie's Cookies? Well, I am feeling a little hungry. I'm sure Nat wouldn't mind if I had a quick snack." Shubie tries to enter the store but the front doors are locked.
Shubie: "Oh, it's locked. That's weird, this is the only locked store in the whole mall. I guess Sadie and Nat locked it before they left a few days ago. I hope Nat picked up Susie from school that day." Shubie peers into the store.
Shubie: "There's the front counter where Nat's always working. I love seeing Nat's handsome, smiling face every morning when I walk over to the clothing store for work. Oh, how I miss Nat. I hope I get out of here soon."
(Scene cuts to Nat, Susie, Baby Billy, and Baby Rechid sitting at the dinner table) Sadie walks over to them carrying a big plate of food.
Sadie: "Dinner is served. I made sea-ribs!"
Nat: "Wow, Sadie! These ribs look great!"
Susie: "I don't think my mom has ever made us sea-ribs before!"
Sadie: "That's because your mother doesn't know how to. I am much better at cooking than she is. Now let's dig in!"
(Scene cuts to Nat and Sadie sitting on the living room couch later that night)
Nat: "Those sea-ribs you made tonight really hit the spot, Sadie."
Sadie: "I'm glad you liked them! Do you want to watch some TV? I already put the kids to bed and finished doing all of your laundry for you."
Nat: "Sure, Sadie." Sadie grabs the remote and turns on the TV.
Sadie: "What the barnacles is this? Ugh, is this The Royal Family? I don't know how anyone watches this nonsense. Only a complete moron would find it entertaining." Sadie laughs.
Nat: "This was Shubie's favorite show." Sadie laughs again and changes the channel.
Sadie: "Well that figures. Hey, what's this? Is this a BassCar race? That's a sport, right? I know how much you love sports!" Nat sighs.
Nat: "Shubie was a huge BassCar fan." Sadie gets annoyed and mutes the TV. Sadie turns towards Nat.
Sadie: "Nat, I know this is a difficult time for you, but you really need to stop thinking about Shubie. It's going to be okay. You'll find someone else. Any woman would be lucky to have a man like you with your great personality, your handsome face, your chiseled abs, and your large, muscular body… Oh yeah…"
Nat: "Are you okay, Sadie?" Sadie snaps out of it.
Sadie: "Yep! I'm fine! Why don't we head to bed? I heard that the mall is expected to reopen tomorrow. Is it okay if we carpool to work? I kinda never finished shoveling my driveway since I've been living here and helping you these past two days."
Nat: "Yeah, that's fine."
Sadie: "Great! And don't you worry about taking Susie to school, I'll use your boat and drop her off early tomorrow so that you can sleep in. Now, let's get some sleep. It'll help you forget about Shubie." Sadie turns off the TV.
(Scene cuts to Nat and Sadie driving to work the next morning)
Nat: "Thanks for dropping Susie off at school earlier, Sadie. I really can't thank you enough for all you've done for me and the kids."
Sadie: "Oh, it was no big deal. I'd do anything for you, Nat."
Nat: "I should really get you a gift to thank you for all you've done for us."
Sadie: "Ooo! Can you buy me an engagement ring?"
Nat: "What?"
Sadie: "Nothing!" Nat turns into the mall parking lot and parks his boat. Nat and Sadie get out of the boat and walk towards the mall's entrance.
Nat: "Hey, what's going on over there?" Sadie sees some fish shoveling the massive pile of snow in front of the entrance.
Sadie: "They must be shoveling that huge pile of snow so we can get in."
(Scene cuts to Shubie sleeping in the mattress store) Shubie is woken up by the noise of the fish shoveling snow.
Shubie: "Huh? What's that noise?" Shubie gets off of the mattress and exits the mattress store. Shubie wanders through the mall and sees that there is no longer a pile of snow blocking the entrance.
Shubie: "I'm free!" Shubie opens up the doors and run out of the mall.
Shubie: "Ah, it feels good to breathe in the fresh air! I'm finally out of the mall!" Shubie notices Nat and Sadie walking towards the mall. Shubie sprints towards them.
Shubie: "Nat! Nat!"
Nat: "Shubie?! Is that you?" Nat and Shubie hug.
Shubie: "Oh, it's so good to see you again!"
Nat: "It's good to see you too."
Shubie: "Are the kids okay? You picked up Susie from school, right?!" Nat laughs.
Nat: "Yes, the kids are fine, but where the barnacles have you been? We've all been worried sick about you! We thought you might've died in the snowstorm!"
Shubie: "Oh Nat, it was awful! I've been trapped inside the mall for nearly four days! My manager had me work during the snowstorm, and when I tried to leave I couldn't get out because of all the snow blocking the exit. I would've tried to reach you but I accidentally left my phone at home that day. I'm so sorry for making you worry, Nat. That must've been so stressful for you."
Nat: "It was, but I'm just glad you're alright." Nat leans in to kiss Shubie, but Shubie stops him.
Shubie: "Nat, maybe we should kiss later. I haven't showered in four days." Nat laughs.
Nat: "I don't care." Nat kisses Shubie.
Shubie: "It's been so long since I've felt those lips." Nat and Shubie kiss again. Sadie rolls her eyes and looks at her watch.
Sadie: "Are you two done yet?" Nat and Shubie stop kissing.
Nat: "Come on, Shubie. Let's go home." Nat and Shubie get in Nat's boat and drive away. Sadie sighs.
Sadie: "Well, there goes my ride."
