Three days later, he still has not moved his eyes, and in fact, has to water them because they’ve dried out. Patrick walks by and draws SpongeBob’s attention; SpongeBob turns back, and the flower’s gone once again.

He decides to tame her and writes a scientific journal of sorts about her mysterious qualities, and hence names her "Mystery." The seahorse spots SpongeBob’s floral bookmark and approaches him.

SpongeBob says he thinks the Krusty Krab’s haunted, but before SpongeBob can leave, Squidward says there are no ghosts and starts lecturing SpongeBob as Mystery steals customers’ orders from their tables. Squidward’s lecture goes as follows: "In case you've forgotten, here’s how things work. I order the food, you cook the food, the customer gets the food. We do that for forty years, and then we die. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. What do you say?" Squidward then sees Mystery as SpongeBob puts her back in the cupboard yelling not to tell Mr. Krabs, adding "I got it all under control!", and Squidward says "Just get my order!" and he walks out. Mystery eats SpongeBob’s hat, [[spatula]], all of the [[Krabby Patties]], the stove, and Old Man Jenkins. From Mystery’s stomach, we hear "I don’t want to be a burden!" The customers get aggravated and start to revolt, to which, Squidward says that they "have a minor situation going on in the kitchen", and a man asks him about where their food is. Fred yells that he’s "so hungry", a woman says that it’s her only lunch hour and Tom asks about Old Man Jenkins’ whereabouts. Then, Squidward says the customers should "take it easy" and adds "The food’s no good here anyway." This causes Mr. Krabs to come out and ask: "Squidward, what is going on here?!" to which he replies, "Why don’t you go ask CowBob RanchPants and his faithful companion Sir Eats-a-Lot?" | |

Mr. Krabs is touched by the story and continues on to tell SpongeBob about the story of his best friend: "I was five years old and me father gave me a dollar. I loved that dollar, loved it like a brother. Me and that dollar went everywhere together." Then SpongeBob asks about what happened to the dollar, Krabs answers: "And one day at the beach, it was so hot and I was so thirsty. I spent it on a soda! My best friend!" and starts to weep.

[edit] Plot
It’s now Springtime in Bikini Bottom. Patrick emerges from under his rock wearing a purple sweater, strips the sweater, and buries it under the sand like a dog would. SpongeBob comes out of his house and begins to greet the flowers and sniff them after stating that he has Spring Fever. Squidward emerges from his home as well, and after some convincing from SpongeBob, he too says hello to the flowers. The flowers react like an aggravated cat, hissing at Squidward, causing him to run back into his house screaming. SpongeBob then says he shall do him a kindness and plant him some hypo-allergenic flowers.
Later, SpongeBob wears a gardening outfit, which includes a sun hat, overalls, and clogs. He first plants a coral flower, and turns to grab the watering can to water said flower, only to turn back around and find the flower bitten in half. He continues this routine of planting flowers and turning his back until he states "I’m not taking my eyes off you." Three days later, he still has not moved his eyes, and in fact, has to water them because they’ve dried out. Patrick walks by and draws SpongeBob’s attention; SpongeBob turns back, and the flower’s gone once again. SpongeBob finally sees a seahorse, which has been eating the flowers, which then runs away and starts neighing on top of a rock. He decides to tame her and writes a scientific journal of sorts about her mysterious qualities, and hence names her "Mystery." The seahorse spots SpongeBob’s floral bookmark and approaches him. Apparently eating the bookmark was enough to tame the seahorse, as the episode proceeds to a montage with 1960s psychedelic backgrounds of the two of them frolicking together, enjoying piggyback rides, painting, blowing bubbles, and even going to the hat store.
At the end of the day, SpongeBob lets Mystery sleep in his bed and promises that they will be friends forever. The next day, he rides past Squidward on his bike, which hits a rock sending Squidward off a cliff and causing him to explode. Once arriving at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob ties up Mystery outside like in old western movies. Then, Scooter arrives with his friend, mistaking Mystery as a kiddie ride. As he whips out a quarter, he looks for a coin slot, saying "I can’t find the coin slot. Here it is!" Mystery kicks Scooter into a massive explosion. "Help!

Squidward comes to the order window, but Mystery eats the order before Squidward can get it.

Squidward’s lecture goes as follows: "In case you've forgotten, here’s how things work. I order the food, you cook the food, the customer gets the food. We do that for forty years, and then we die.

This causes Mr. Krabs to come out and ask: "Squidward, what is going on here?!" to which he replies, "Why don’t you go ask CowBob RanchPants and his faithful companion Sir Eats-a-Lot?"
Mystery belches up Old Man Jenkins, apparently after getting a stomachache because of eating all the Krabby Patties. Mr. Krabs walks in and thinks he’s seeing things, but realizes he’s not and demands that the horse be released back into the wild, to which, SpongeBob pleads not to have Mystery gotten rid of.

Before during and after this scene, we can see Squidward (and later a customer) weeping, until a bowl of onions is seen beside them. SpongeBob takes Mystery outside and tells her "You belong in the wild." He turns his back on her, and the horse walks away.

Squidward interrupts the conversation to let Krabs know that the safe is empty because Mystery had an after-dinner salad: all the money in the safe. Mr. Krabs screams "GET THAT HORSE!", then he and SpongeBob go running after Mystery into the horizon.
The episode ends with Patrick trying to get into the hat store to buy a hat, but can’t because the board in his head from earlier’s too long to fit through the door.
