Plot

Squidina wakes up early one morning, drinks coffee, takes muffins out of the oven, then sets up a strange contraption around the house. She goes up to Patrick and bangs a gong, shaking him awake. He slides on jelly across the house, showering, eating breakfast, and getting dressed before his show. He makes it to the show in time. Squidina assists him with remembering his lines, taming wild animals for the show, and talking over the phone with suppliers. When Patrick talks to her, Squidina confesses that she is tired from producing the show, and she needs to hire an intern.

Later, Squidina goes through various unsuitable applicants, until a small crab named Fentin Finkle submits his resume. On the conditions that Fentin is younger and smaller than her, she hires him and schedules his training. The next morning, Squidina finds Fentin already in her bedroom and giving her coffee. Fentin successfully sets up Patrick's morning routine, and when the show is ready, Squidina shows him the levers she operates behind the scenes. When the audience gets bored, Squidina drops a brick on Patrick's head so that he comes up with an idea, which ends up being a puppet show. Squidina and Fentin sneak around through the vents and behind the puppet theater, improvising a pig-themed puppet show. Patrick bids the audience goodbye, and he toasts juice boxes with Squidina and Fentin.

The next morning, Squidina wakes up to see all the furniture in the house goodbye. As the Star family gather in the studio, they see on the TV that Fentin stole the equipment for his sister, Crabina, and is hosting his own version of the Patrick Show. GrandPat rallies the family to fight and get everything back. They equip themselves with armor and weapons, and Ouchie tracks down the equipment at Fentin's house. They smash up the studio, and Fentin reveals himself. Fentin and Crabina say that the network already picked up their show for six seasons, and the equipment is already destroyed, so there is nothing to take back.

Later, the Star family watch the Crabina Show, all laughing except for Squidina. Once Patrick realizes that Squidina is disappointed, he takes Tinkle and drops him inside the TV. He chases Fentin and Crabina around on stage, as Squidina and Patrick laugh.
