Plankton is also very shock as well. Mama Krabs then tells Mr. Krabs to let her live her own life.

Later, Plankton is back at the Chum Bucket and Mr. Krabs tells Plankton that he was only dating Mama Krabs for the formula. Plankton did not know that so he hatched a plan.

Trivia/Goofs

This is the only episode where a very minor character (Mama Krabs) is in a major role.
This is the third episode where SpongeBob, the main character, has a minor role and has nothing to do with the episode. The first 2 episodes are SB-129 and Plankton's Army.
During the confusion scene at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob yells out his first name. This is a reference to Shrek 2 as Donkey does the same thing.
In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Plankton loves being married to Karen because he enjoys her and agreed to be Karen's husband, but in this episode, Plankton hates Karen and calls her a nagging software. But it is possible his feelings for her changed by then. But also, just because Karen annoys Plankton, it does not necessarily mean he hates her. All husbands and wives argue once in a while.
In this episode, Mr. Krabs claims that the Krabby Patty recipe is an old Krabs recipe. However, it is revealed in Friend or Foe? that it was Mr. Krabs himself that created it.
The title is a reference to Mother-In Law, Father-In Law, Sister-In-Law, Brother-In-Law, Son-In Law, Uncle-In-Law, Cousin-In-Law, Aunt-In-Law, Grandfather-In Law, and Grandmother-In-Law.
SpongeBob only has 5 lines of dialogue.
This is the first time Plankton has a major role but is not as the main antagonist.
