"Blood is Thicker Than Grease" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 14. In this episode, Plankton's family open their own restaurant... directly next to the Chum Bucket.
Plankton shows Karen his new "tootsie-trampler" invention, which can be used like a pogo stick to crush civilians, but it backfires on him. Suddenly, Plankton hears a noise from outside. A pickup truck with a grand mansion-like trailer appears. Plankton's parents step out, having moved to the city after winning the lottery. After showing Plankton around their trailer, they reveal they have come to start their own restaurant similar to the Chum Bucket: the Spud Bucket. The customers from the Krusty Krab all leave to visit the new restaurant. Plankton goes to Krabs' restaurant to gloat, and the latter is about to give up the formula. Karen questions Plankton, mentioning that having the formula likely means nothing since nobody wants Krabby Patties. Upon realizing this, Plankton decides to sabotage the Spud Bucket.
His first plan is to call a health inspector, but this backfires when the Planktons are able to bribe him into giving the Spud Bucket a good grade. Next, he gets Patrick to eat customers' food, but his parents use him to help make mashed potatoes. Then, he throws a grenade at a potato delivery truck, but the potatoes explode into french fries. After his failures, Plankton's dad invites him to work at the restaurant, which Plankton agrees to, left with no other options.

Plankton's dad was previously seen in the book Hooray for Dads!, though he had a very different design. •Similarly, Ma Plankton had previously been seen in "Something Narwhal This Way Comes," using Ma Angler as a base. She has a new design here, resembling Bunny Star. •This and its sister episode "Don't Make Me Laugh" mark the first episode pairing in which both segments premiered unannounced and not labelled as such on the TV guides.
