Later at The Drunken Clam, the guys convince him he should take advantage of the situation. SpongeBob returns to the Cheeks' and is succesful in turning the tables on Carter. After Carter gives in to his demands, SpongeBob lets slip about Carter's affair in front of Barbara and Sandy. After Barbara announces she is divocing Carter, SpongeBob tires to get Carter interested in dating again. A girl finds Carter attractive, but when he orders a black bar patron to get him and the girls a drink, the girls call him a rac*s* and leave. Carter realizes how much he misses Barbara and begs SpongeBob to help him get back with her. When they arrive at the mansion, they find Barbara's old flame has returned. SpongeBob intercedes on Carter's behalf, giving hum a chance to apologize. Barbara diesn't agree to remarry him but does agree to let him live with her again. At that moment, SpongeBob finds a genie's lamo, but the end credits convince him to wait next week.

Trivia

 * This is the actual 150th broadcast episode, an accolade given to "Squidward & Plankton" based on production order.
 * This is the third episode that both Patrick, and Pearl don't appear in.
 * This is the first episode that Plankton doesn't appear in. This makes Squidward the only character to appear in all episodes, as SpongeBob and Sandy only appeared in the musical numbers of "Squidward & Plankton", which were cut in the syndicated version.
