Role in series
"Kamp Kow"
As SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy wander through the tall grasses of the secret field SpongeBob found, looking for sea cow pats for good luck, Patrick runs into the sea cow. The three name her 'Lucky' and proceed to feed her treats and have fun with her until the sun starts setting, where they say their goodbyes to her and return to camp.
Tomorrow morning, Patrick wakes up and discovers that Lucky has found her way to their cabin. Squidward smells her and is about to get angry when he realizes that Lucky resembles a childhood toy he had. Having a change of heart, Squidward decides to feed Lucky all his paintings, which makes her grow.
SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy show off Lucky to the rest of the camp, where she beats Larry the Lobster in soccer and performs in a play with Patrick, where she grows again. Mr. Krabs smells Lucky and gets angry at her eating his clothes, but Sandy changes his mind by pointing out Lucky can produce free milk. Krabs then happily declares Lucky the camp cow.
The next day, Lucky has grown huge due to Squidward giving her a midnight snack, so Sandy gives her special bubble gum to make her float out of the cabin. After being freed, Lucky roams around camp and feasts on various objects, angering the campers and causing Mrs. Puff to demand that Lucky leaves. SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy try to leave her in the field they found her in, but she follows them and trips, rolling into a tree that flings them all back to camp.
When Lucky lands back in camp, Mr. Krabs, Mrs. Puff, and Larry try to push her away, but SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy are unknowingly pushing back, causing Lucky to be squeezed so hard she spurts out all her milk, flooding camp and returning her to normal size. Lucky then creates a sea cow pat, and SpongeBob fulfills his wish of stepping in one.
"Reveille Revolution"
When SpongeBob tries to show Squidward that he is a dedicated fan of his music, he reveals a collection of Squidward-related memorabilia. One of these is the plush toy that Lucky resembles.
