In the debut episode of "Ol'Bob SquarePants", 'Retirement Sponge', it's the eve of SpongeBob's long overdue retirement from the Krusty Krab, but Mr. Krabs doesn't want to pay SpongeBob a pension, so thinks of plans to keep SpongeBob working at the diner. Then, SpongeBob and Patrick try to fix Squidward's chairlift with disastrious results in 'Rocket Squid', and in 'Tired Squid', Squidward's plans to relax at Shady Shoals are threatened when SpongeBob & Patrick turn up and nearly get him kicked out!
