Synopsis[]

Patrick is holding a paint-drying race, to the boredom of Squidina and the audience, when he runs out of snacks and goes to his room to look for more. A comment he makes gives him the idea to go back in time and get snacks, so he makes the show about that instead. He first goes two days in the past to eat dinner again, where he pays his past self 500 bucks for his dinner and immediately gets it back. He then goes to 18th century France, where he finds one of Lady Upturn's ancestors. She promises cake to a demanding audience, but when she lets them in, Patrick has eaten all of it. The townsfolk are angry and Upturn's ancestor is beheaded.

Patrick then goes to the far future, where he boards the S.S. Super Minnow and eats some of the dehydrated food Quasar has. Quasar tells him he has eaten too much, and Pat-Tron gives him water to wash it down with, causing him to inflate to be larger than the ship. Pat-Tron opens a door to eject the food out of Patrick, leaving him hungry again. He then goes to the Donner Party, mistaking "Donner" to be a fancy word for dinner, until Squidina convinces him to leave.

Patrick then heads to prehistoric times, where he sees a group of cavefish hunting down a wooly clammoth. Patrick catches it and is about to eat it, but Squidina pleads for him not to because it is an endangered species, and he begins to feel sympathy for the animal. He saves it from the cavefish and sends them back in time to the Donner Party. Patrick realizes the episode is almost over and heads back to the present day, bidding the woolly clammoth farewell. However, when he goes to watch the paint drying again, the entire audience -- and slowly Squidina and then him -- have been transformed into woolly clammoths because he allowed them to keep living in the first place. The audience throws food at Patrick in frustration, and he is happy to finally have something to eat.
