Ep 6. Barnacle Face/Pet Sitter Pat

In the eighth season of SpongeBob SquarePants, episode six, we are introduced to two separate storylines. The first, called "Barnacle Face," revolves around SpongeBob's friend and co-worker, Squidward Tentacles.

Squidward wakes up one morning to discover that his face has been completely covered in barnacles. He is horrified and tries various methods to remove them, but nothing seems to work. The other residents of Bikini Bottom are equally distressed by Squidward's appearance and avoid him at all costs.

Desperate for a solution, Squidward seeks out the help of the Bikini Bottom doctor, who recommends that he try a cream made from jellyfish jelly. At first, the cream seems to be working, but then it has an unexpected side effect - it causes Squidward to grow a pair of hands from his head!

Squidward initially despairs over his new appendages, but he soon discovers that they have some unexpected advantages. He can play music like a master, cook gourmet meals, and even paint beautiful portraits - all with his new pair of hands.

Meanwhile, in the second storyline of the episode, "Pet Sitter Pat," SpongeBob goes on vacation and leaves his beloved pet snail, Gary, in the care of his well-meaning but bumbling friend, Patrick Star.

Patrick is excited to take care of Gary, but he quickly proves to be an inept pet sitter. He feeds Gary all of SpongeBob's expensive jellyfish jelly, lets him escape from his terrarium, and even tries to give him a bath (with disastrous results).

Things come to a head when Gary goes missing, and Patrick is forced to search all over Bikini Bottom for his friend's beloved pet. Along the way, Patrick wreaks havoc and causes all sorts of chaos - but he eventually manages to track Gary down and return him to SpongeBob.

"Barnacle Face/Pet Sitter Pat" is a classic episode of SpongeBob SquarePants that showcases the beloved show's trademark blend of humor, heart, and zany hijinks. With its memorable characters, hilarious gags, and touching moments, this episode is sure to delight fans of all ages - and leave them eagerly anticipating what adventures SpongeBob and his friends will embark upon next.
