Flying Dutchman decides to build an empire in the new world, starting with the city of Cul-de-Square. He uses a deck of cards to randomly select which robot to use in the invasion, the S-23. Underneath the city, Mr. Krabs and Sandy are walking through a sewer, arguing. Mr. Krabs believes SpongeBob is reponsible for their situation, but Sandy counters that it was probably Dutchman. Back at Edd's mansion, Squidward is washing the Cyclone while Susie and Johnny eat donuts. Edd asks them where SpongeBob has gone, exclaiming that there's big trouble in the city.
