Question: In regards to two of the characters, Plankton and Sandy Cheeks. I have seen all the episodes but cannot figure out a few things on them. Sandy - Can someone tell me why Sandy lives under the ocean? I know she is very smart and is a keen scientist but what exactly made her move to the bottom of the sea? She seems to miss Texas a lot and it seems strange she decided to move to the bottom of the ocean. I know it's a cartoon but what's her motive? Plankton - I understand Plankton is always trying to steal the Krabby patty secret formula but has there been a reason exactly for stealing it? Was it to try and run Krabs out of business or use it for his own restaurant?

Question: Is it ever mentioned what ocean they are in?
Answer: Judging by the French narrator, and the tropical atmosphere, I'd say they're meant to be in the Galapagos.
The Pacific Ocean is where the Bikini islands are located.

Mr. Bean (1989)
Question: Can anybody explain why Mr Bean, in the first episode, has a red mini when in every other episode he has his normal green one?
Chosen answer: I'm guessing it is because he bought a new car. At the end of the first Bean, he crashed the mini. You hear the crash and see his wheel bouncing down the road. Safe to assume it was a write-off.
Answer: Yeah he had a red Mini at the beginning but it ends up getting crashed at the end of the episode. And then in other episodes he has a green Mini.
Answer: So you didn't see the end of the first episode when he crashed the old Mini and the wheel fell off? Plausible that he bought a new one afterwards.
Answer: I think it is because in the last episode his green car got smashed in the ceremony and he bought a red mini until he got a new green mini.

Chosen answer: Plankton has his own restaurant that is a flop. He wants the secret formula so he can be successful and beat Mr. Krabs in business. No reasons have been given for why Sandy moved underwater. Though she is an extreme daredevil personality, so maybe she did it to be different.

In the season 4 episode "Chimps Ahoy" there's a reason given about why Sandy lives at the bottom of the sea. Sandy's three bosses from Treedome Enterprises are coming to evaluate her inventions while she's been living under water, at the bottom of the sea. If she passes she will continue to receive their funding and can stay in Bikini Bottom, but if she fails she has to go back to Texas.
