Plot: Sandy is upset that Plankton has wet the carpet in the living room. Plankton emphatically denies this, but Sandy and SpongeBob, are convinced that it's a sign that Plankton is ready to potty train. However, it's actually Squidward who's wetting the house, and he tries to clean up another accident that night.
After a failed attempt by SpongeBob at getting Plankton to use the toilet, the family goes to the supermarket to buy groceries. In the checkout line, Squidward has another accident, revealing that Plankton (much to his own delight) is innocent. This leads to Squidward going to see Dr. Kaplan, a psychiatrist. The doctor decides Squidward is having a mid-life crisis, so Squidward goes travelling and starts exploring.
Squidward feels better, but shortly after returning, Plankton frames Squidward by peeing all over the living room. Squidward is blamed and returns to Dr. Kaplan to find out why this is still happening. After revealing that his last accident happened after watching Sandy and SpongeBob have a water fight while washing the car, Dr. Kaplan causes Squidward to admit to himself that he is in love with Sandy. Later Squidward sits next to her in the couch watching the news and "tries" to crack a joke, later to find out Plankton was watching the whole time blackmails him for it.
Squidward and Sandy discuss the situation and decide to just remain friends. SpongeBob, who is unaware that Squidward's love is Sandy, conjectures that Squidward's beloved would "probably end up with some idiot." The action moves to the Municipal Golf Course, where SpongeBob proves himself to be the idiot in question.
