Plot

SpongeBob discovers that his breakfast cereal, Kelp-O, has an offer for a free toy. Once he responds to the offer, he must wait patiently for the toy to arrive. SpongeBob is getting impatient, so he sets up camp right next to his mailbox, determined to be present when the mailman shows up with his treasure. He gets frustrated when Sandy and Gary distract him with feeding and karate, flipping Sandy and telling Gary the "importance" of waiting for the toy. Patrick then comes and tells SpongeBob that he missed his own surprise birthday party. Eventually the toy arrives and Patrick "breaks" it, leaving SpongeBob devastated. However, Squidward shows him later that its head, arms, and legs are supposed to spring off, and reattaches them. SpongeBob and Patrick then hug Squidward, thanking them for fixing the toy. When asked how he can be repaid, Squidward replies "Move to another neighborhood." “Hello little Jill dolly!” Lucy smiled, holding you in her hands.

“Did you sleep well little Jilly?” Sam wondered, poking at your smiling face. The girls dropped you onto the floor, and pulled out several other dolls from their toy box. Soon, you were surrounded by eight other one foot tall girl dolls just like you. Lucy began to set up a little table for a tea party, while Sam grabbed you and tore off all of your clothes. Just then, and to everyone’s surprise, your mom burst into the room. The previous night, Patty, in a surprising nice act on her part, let slip to your mom what had happened to you. She told your mom that she had left you as a doll for Lucy and Sam to play with, and your mom had been immediately alarmed. However, it was much too late for her to rescue you that night, so she had waited for morning. Now, she was here to save you. Your eyes lit up upon seeing your mom, as you realized that she was here to save you. However, Sam continued to play with you, as she had no reason to worry about your mom. She had no idea what she was doing was wrong. She pulled over out a little toy potty from her toy box, and placed you on top of it. She began to push down on your chest, pretending that you were pooping. Meanwhile, your mom said hello to the girls and began to examine each of their dolls. There were nearly a hundred dolls spread around throughout the room, so it was a long process for her. Your heart dropped as you saw that she hadn’t noticed you immediately Sam, satisfied that you had used the bathroom, removed you from the potty, and dressed you in only a diaper. You were completely naked except for the diaper, and you were mortified and embarrassed. Sam poked at your breasts, wondering what the strange things on your chest were. Each of her flicks were incredibly painful, and you mentally screamed.
Lucy had finished setting up the table, and so Sam dropped you into an empty seat. She held up a little cup filled with a small amount of tea, and tried to make you drink it. However, you couldn’t open your mouth in your frozen state, and Sam became agitated. She tried to force you to drink the tea, and resulted in the tea spilling all over your face.

Lucy angrilly scolds you for not being a good toy "Stupid doll! Stupid doll!" she said shaking you angrilly, while all you can do is watch the vibrating image of your mother leave the room with your two cousins. Annoyed at you they toss you aside letting you skid across their floor and stop near the bed, you watch the door shut as your only hope leaves and the girls get on with their tea party with the other dolls. You couldn't believe your sister had gotten you into this mess, nor could you belive your cousins could have made you so unreconisable that your own mother hadn't realised it was you when she held you. You began to wonder if this was your life now, without your mother rescuing you it seemed unlikely Patty would come to your aid and your Cousins were too doll obsessed to really question why their cousin who they often treated like a doll was now their doll full time and didn't move.

after a couple of hours of lying on your side staring at the door and listening to your cousins play, the damage tne to you had popped back out to normal, other than the stained skin that would need a scrub to clean, you looked like yourself again, sadly it was too little too late. All of a sudden Sam reached down and grabbed you, picking you up. "Maybe we were too angry at Jill Doll, the other dollies can't drink, maybe she can't either when shes a doll" the little girl thought out loud, she gave you a tight hug "Sorry Jilly Doll, we wont be angry again" and with that you were reluctantly brought back to the other dolls. You just wanted your cousins to give you to your mother, but it looked like you had nothing but playtimes ahead of you for the forseeable future. After being scrubbed with a baby wipe and dressed in a big poofy diaper and a satin pink poofy dress you were sat down and forced to play tea party again as "princess babypants"

Lucy forced a big pink pacifier into your smiling mouth, which moved to hold the pose of the new object though sadly you had no movement to push it back out and tied your hair up i

Trivia/Goofs

SpongeBob bought more than 99 Kelp-O boxes.
This was not the first time SpongeBob did not receive a toy from the cereals because in the episode Shanghaied, SpongeBob eats the whole cereal but he does not receive a toy.
This episode is based on a SpongeBob book, "Special Delivery!", where SpongeBob sends 100 boxtops for a string and waits with Patrick over Summer, Easter, Halloween and Christmas. When the string eventually arrives Patrick breaks it.
When SpongeBob flips Sandy over, the mailbox, which was open a moment ago, has closed.
- Also, Sandy's karate gloves are red instead of green.
The mailbox disappears after SpongeBob receives his toy, and only appears again when Squidward walks past them, then it disappears again.
SpongeBob stops crying when Squidward takes the toy from him, but his sobbing is still heard until Squidward de-springs it.
On the Kelpo toy, there was a button in the middle of its chest which is supposedly supposed to be pushed to make it spring, but whenever it springs, its head is budged instead.
- Budging the toy's head would've caused the "breakage" in real life, as it could jam the mechanism.
