Plot
Patrick watches a commercial about a guy who buys houses, and after saying his house was "sold," he actually thinks his house got sold. He moves in with SpongeBob, but the commercial comes on in his TV and also thinks his house got sold. They become homeless, but resolve this issue by making a house using trash from the Krusty Krab's dumpster.
In the morning, Squidward wakes up and goes to work happily. However, when he goes to take out the trash, he realizes he was only happy as his neighbors weren't present. When he finds out why SpongeBob and Patrick are living in a garbage home, he at first tries to comment on how stupid they are for thinking this, but realizes he can finally live alone without them because of this, and leaves them be.
As they are leaving, SpongeBob and Patrick want to visit their old homes, so Squidward, not wanting them to come, says there's a german family living in SpongeBob's home and a rock band living in Patrick's house.
He goes home to relax, but notices SpongeBob knocking on his door, expecting a german family. He quickly dresses up as a german man and opens the door, but it turns out he had actually learned german. He sees Patrick approaching his house, so he quickly makes SpongeBob sit down in the living room so he can dress up as a rock star and go to Patrick's home.
There, he asks him what he plays, and in response says he plays the electric clarinet. After Patrick asks to prove it, he goes back to SpongeBob's home, who thinks that Gerhard's wife had come as Squidward was still in his rock star attire. He gives him a "german" meal, and then goes back to Patrick to show himself playing the electric clarinet.
When he comes back to SpongeBob's, he asks SpongeBob to leave, but he wants to see the Fishtrap children sing. He tries to do so, but once Patrick arrives and wants to get the people from his old home to join, he gives up and tells the two that their homes weren't sold and that Nick Fishkins flips houses, and he'll get his house flipped so he can go away. Later, the two literally flip his house, and afterwards Nick Fishkins arrives and doesn't want to sell his house due to how broken it is after getting flipped.
