When SpongeBob finally gets tired of falling down the stairs, he moves into the bedroom permanetly until Sandy has the original stairs returned.
Meanwhile, Oopie is fired from the Pawtucket Brewery and SpongeBob's new co-worker named Stella is deaf. After Fred meets her, he is inspired to have a disabled ladies night at The Drunken Clam. Squidward isn't impressed by the pickings but decides to try his luck with a normal-looking girl at the bar. Squidward cuts to the chase and asks her out and she agrees, telling him her name is Kate whom he later finds out is blind. After a pleasant date at the movies, she shrugs off his suggestion to join her in bed but starts to kiss him goodnight when one of his neighbor's pet octopus start screeching and she confesses how much she hates octopis. Squidward manages to excuse himself without kissing her goodnight.
The next morning, Plankton pumps Squidward for information about his date, eventually getting him to mention Kate is blind. Plankton suggests she may be using him to get a seeing-eye squid but Squidward brushes it off, admitting further that she hates octopis. Plankton wonders how he intends to get away with his ruse and Squidward tells of trying to impress Kate before revealing the truth. Squidward continues to impress her by faking events during their dates although resists being intimate with her, telling her it is out of respect. She invites him to dinner with her folks but Squidward finds out their vision is fine. When Squidward tells Plankton about his predicament, Plankton convinces him to let him help. Plankton wraps Squidward in bandages for his dinner date and Squidward dresses as a nurse, telling a tale of how Squidward was burned rescuing children. When events reveal Squidward's true nature, Kate leaves him for lying to her and exits through an alarmed fire to the sound of blaring horns causing an auto accident. As Plankton is already dressed as a nurse, he heads out to help.
The next day, Squidwward is depressed over losing Kate until Plankton convinces him that since she is blind, he could use a different voice to fool her and he proceeds to do just that.
