Power of Sponges

Power of Sponges is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode/special from season 14, as part of the Surface Land tri-anthology.

Plot
SpongeBob & Patrick decide to go on another Surface Land tour to kill some time besides hanging around, doing nothing. Just to their luck, a bus arrives, & they hop on. Once they arrive at shore, they bypass the beach, & head to a movie theatre at TownsVille. While patrons were eating popcorn, they caught all those that fell on the ground & ate them. Soon the movie started, but was interrupted by a rubberhose plow known as "Earth Plow", who presents them "true theater". Unfortunately, no one enjoyed his skits, so he starts attacking everyone. Luckily, the Powerpuff Girls were there, so they decide to take him on, except Bubbles, who was tied up to a trolley. The bus escapes the ruckus to get some "enjoyment popcorn", where they encounter Professor Utonium, the Girls' dad. When they come back, they see Bubbles trying to help her sisters, who were captured by Earth Plow, & eat some popcorn on the floor. Unfortunately, he rushes at her, attempting to blast her. Suddenly, a powerful force appears between them, as the tourists (as usual) take pictures. A figure emerges from the force, looking just like the other girls, only older & taller. Once Professor Utonium comes back with a popcorn-filled Space Tow Truck garbage can, he seems to recognize the figure as he drops what he has in his hands, & tazes her.

On their way back home, the bus tags along, eating the popcorn that landed on the floor back in the theater. As they return, the mysterious figure was put in a force field. After being urged by the Girls to explain, Utonium starts telling his story: he was trying to find a way to compete with a rival professor, who made the perfect little boy who had similar powers to the Girls. He put sugar, spice, everything nice, & (accidentally) Chemical W into the mix. This resulted in the creation of the figure, named Bliss. While she was powerful & a sweet daughter to the Professor, her powers evolved dangerously, & after an explosive (literally) rage, Bliss was gone, presumed dead. After this, the Professor goes to get his Ham of the Month award. Bliss finally wakes up, & clears that after the incident, Bliss fled to a faraway place called Bird Poop Island, where she met her pet elephant, MIH. After long, she decided to return to TownsVille, where she met Bubbles, who kept her a secret from her sisters. Once Professor Utonium came back, however, he was held at gunpoint by Mojo, revealing the Ham of the Month award was a trick, But he seems to recognize Bliss too, as he was still the Professor's lab assistant by the time the incident happened. He then frees Bliss & convinces her to join him in villainy. Bliss keeps herself, but the force field was not enough to contain Bliss' rage. The tour bus escapes the commotion, only to see Bliss with the Professor, having breakfast, explaining she wanted to give being in a family another go.

They then decide to go on a superhero outing, along with SpongeBob, Patrick, Rube, & the tourists. However, they are confronted with a villain called the Gnat, & as the Powerpuff Girls tell Bliss to take action, with much pressure, Bliss unleashes her uncontrolled powers, blowing up the place they were in. They decide to relax at a swan lake, with Frenchy there to assist the Surface Land bus as they set wheels in the water. Unfortunately, when the Girls argue over ideas on how to calm Bliss down, she explodes into rage again.
