Biography[]
At the beginning of the episode, Plankton bursts through the roof of the Krusty Krab and threatens to take the customers' Krabby Patties, however, he is interrupted by Incidental 82, who comments on Plankton being cute. The other customers in the restaurant walk up to Plankton as he runs runs out of the place in discomfort. At the Chum Bucket, Plankton complains to Karen about everyone finding him cute when he wants to to be seen as evil, which gives him the idea to build a robot, Q.T.-π, to punish people for saying "awww" by eating them. Unfortunately for Plankton, he ended up being the first one to get eaten after he groaned in response to being told to take out the trash.
SpongeBob heads to the Krusty Krab, with Q.T.-π following him. SpongeBob notices Q.T.-π and says "awww", however, he finishes the sentence by saying "a cute little robot like you shouldn't be out here all alone!", so he doesn't get eaten. SpongeBob takes Q.T.-π into the Krusty Krab, and introduces it to the customers and Squidward. SpongeBob asks Squidward to watch Q.T.-π . Squidward compliments Q.T.-π by saying that it's cute, and the customers show up around Squidward, but he forces them away. Squidward and the customers say "awww", which causes them to all get eaten by Q.T.-π, and then Mr. Krabs comes out of his office and gets eaten as well. SpongeBob comes out of the bathroom and notices that everyone's gone, thinking that the restaurant closes early.
Mr. Krabs notices that he and the other Bikini Bottomites are all in a prison inside of Q.T.-π . Plankton tries to dodge the blame, but Mr. Krabs immediately notices that he's at fault. Angered, Mr. Krabs asks Plankton how to get out of the robot, and he replies that they'll have to escape through the evacuation uvula. The Bikini Bottomites form a pyramid to try and get Plankton to the uvula, but are unsuccessful.
SpongeBob takes Q.T.-π to a veterinarian. The veterinarian takes a lot at Q.T.-π, hearing noise from inside it. She asks Q.T.-π to say "awww", which causes Q.T.-π to transform and eat the veterinarian. Horrified, SpongeBob screams and runs away, with Q.T.-π following him while also destroying Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob runs towards Glove World!, and Q.T.-π eats Incidental 41 at the entrance. SpongeBob continues running through Glove World! while Q.T.-π eats more citizens. SpongeBob finds what he thinks is an exit, however, it ends up being a "dead end" ride instead.
Q.T.-π corners SpongeBob, with everyone inside of the robot urging it to eat him. SpongeBob tries to use music to calm Q.T.-π down, however, he's unsuccessful and gets eaten. SpongeBob lands in the prison and thinks that everyone is there for a surprise party, but Mr. Krabs explains to him that he can be used to help reach the evacuation uvula. The Bikini Bottomites form a pyramid for SpongeBob to use to climb towards the uvula, and Plankton lifts up the pyramid, which allows SpongeBob to reach it.
Everyone escapes and lands in Glove World!. While everyone else goes for free rides, SpongeBob comforts Q.T.-π, having been left alone. SpongeBob then gets the idea to use Q.T.-π for a ride, with its mechanism for eating people being used for the entertainment. As everyone else joyfully gets in line and enjoys the new ride, Plankton is denied access because he's too small.
