Later, Plankton uses the thermostat to freeze the Krusty Krab.
At the end of the episode, Plankton reveals to Mr. Krabs of his actions and uses the thermostat to freeze and unfreeze Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, and all of the other Krusty Krab patrons until he accidentally falls off the thermostat and is trapped by Mr. Krabs. Mr. Krabs then uses the thermostat to melt all of the ice and transforms the Krusty Krab into a swimming pool.
