Plot: When SpongeBob makes a surprise win on Wheel of Fortune, he wins a free maid (named Joan) for a week. When he shows off how he could cause a huge mess for her to clean up (specifically, giving an exploding watermelon filled with chocolate pudding to Pearl), she meets Fred who immediately falls for her. He gives up his philandering ways and becomes a caring lover. He proposes to Joan at the sea shore at sunset just in time to see and hear the rare "Screaming Black Dolphin's".

SpongeBob, however, becomes irritated by the changes Fred made for his new fiancee. He tires to get Fred back into his own ways, such as bachelor party st**p clubs and trying out his foot fetish aquiring the foot of the Statue of Liberty, spending thousands of dollars and calling many people he dosen't even know but it dosen't work.

Meanwhile, Sandy is concerned when Plankton's teeth cause her pain during breastfeeding. Squidward suugests that Sandy begin to weaning Plankton, to which Plankton objects. He becomes desperate for his milk, going as far as sucking off another woman and milking Sandy. Later on, Plankton finally does achieve freedom from Sandy's breast milk, but Sandy, loving her new breast size, forces Plankton to continue the feeding under the guise of "bonding".

During the reception for his wedding, Fred turns back into his old self when he, due to SpongeBob's actions, notices Sandy's engorged breasts. Realizing his mistaken, he tries to break up with Joan but she threatens to kill him and then herself if he did so. He enlists help from his friends to get him out of it quick, at one point asking Tom how he got out of his marriage, to which Tom replies "You slept with my wife!" They choose to fake his death.
