Synopsis
The episode starts at the Krusty Krab. Patrick is ordering food, and Bubble Bass angrily tells him to hurry up. Bubble Bass and Patrick get into an argument, which ends with Bubble Bass grabbing Patrick's neck like you'd grab someone's collar. Unfortunately, Mama Bass walks in at just that moment, and decides to ground Bubble Bass.

Mama Bass tells Bubble Bass that he may not leave his basement for three days, apart from two supervised trips to the bathroom. When Mama Bass leaves, Bubble Bass mentions his secret stash of krabby patties, but Mama Bass pops her head through the door just as he says this. Bubble Bass doesn't care, as he says it's expertly hidden, but then he realises his stash is just outside his basement, which he is not allowed to leave, rendering the stash useless.

Later in the day, Bubble Bass is craving krabby patties, and Mama Bass walks in carrying a small krabby patty bag. Bubble Bass thinks it's krabby patties, but it is, in fact, a treadmill, a rowing machine, and an exercise bike. These are all comedically much too large to fit into Mama Bass's bag. Mama Bass tells him he should exercise for one hour every day while he is grounded. After an hour, Bubble Bass decides he needs to escape, and sees a window on the top of the basement. He puts one end of the treadmill on a box and sets it so that he flies up towards the window, but his face slams into the wall. A montage is shown of him planning an escape. He stacks the rowing machine on top of the exercise bike and uses it to catapult himself onto a shelf. He then jumps onto a light and swings on it through the window, but he gets stuck. Mama Bass comes in, saying that he is now allowed out of his room, but Bubble Bass falls on her. Mama Bass, seeing that Bubble Bass tried to escape, decides to ground him for three more days, as the episode ends.
