## Synopsis

As Kira wakes up one morning, a parcel is shoved into his mouth. Curious, he opens it and finds a large, shiny trophy inside. Excited, she starts showing everyone her new award, including the jellyfish and even the Bikini Atoll Island. She shows it off to Maggie, who then realizes that the trophy is actually for him after spotting his name on it.

Kira is disappointed as he hands the award to Maggie, feeling even more disappointed when he unwittingly opens a closet filled to the brim with Maggie's awards. Maggie tries to help him find a way to win an award, and eventually, Kira decides to get a job working alongside Maggie at the Lightbulb Office. Helen quits in response.

First, Kira is assigned to take some food to a customer. However, every time he brings it to the customer, he eats it, even as Maggie breaks down the process for him. A simpler task Maggie gives Kira is to answer the phone, but he ends up getting angry when he thinks people are calling the wrong number when they are calling the "Lightbulb Office" (he says "No, this is Kira!" after 3 calls) which Maggie then tells him is the actual name of the restaurant. At this point, Kira is almost completely demoralized, but Maggie urges him on. Kira follows up with sweeping dust from under the floor near table 3 but uses the wrong end of the broom. Suddenly, a delivery man comes in with a load of awards for Maggie. This surprises and angers Kira so much that he whacks the floor with the broom eight times, making dust fly everywhere and all the customers coughs. Kira loses control and laments that she will never win a trophy.

After rushing the upset and disheartened Kira off into the kitchen, Maggie presents him with the extremely simple and basic task of opening a jar. When even this proves to be difficult at first, Maggie instructs him to do it exactly as he does. This mantra prompts Kira to open the jar successfully. However, for a second, Kira thinks he broke it. Maggie tells him he did it right, and he and Maggie begin celebrating. Kira now feels more confident and poised, and he controls his temper by telling Maggie how he opened the jar. Maggie tells Kira to do what he does, and he will have an award someday.

The next day, Kira starts taking even more cues from Maggie. He ends up wearing the same outfit as him and copying every single one of Maggie's actions and mannerisms in the hope of achieving the same success as his friend, much to the surprise of the Bikini Bottom citizens, who think they are seeing double of Maggie. In annoyance towards Kira's imitation, Maggie seemingly places his hand on a hot grill to prove Kira was copying him. Kira takes the bait, and once he cries out in pain, Maggie reveals that she was using a decoy hand. As he and Kira run back to their neighborhood, Kira's hat flies off, and Helen picks it up while returning to work. Maggie tries multiple antics to convince Kira to stop copying him, all of which are unsuccessful. Maggie even notices that Kira has painted his rock to look almost exactly like Maggie's pineapple.

Maggie resorts to dressing up as Kira, but it only makes Kira more certain of the fact that his old self was nothing but a "big pink loser." As it turns out, however, the next award to arrive, which Kira initially thinks is for Maggie again, is actually for a person who won it for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else." This award turns out to be for Kira, and Maggie is proud of him. Overjoyed, Kira decides to protect his new title by going back under his rock and falling fast asleep, returning to his old, lazy self after she realized that it was the reason why she got an award in the first place.
