Biography[]
Helen the Felon first appeared in "Call the Cops", where she was selling cookies on the streets. Spongebob and Mr. Krabs, who were cops patrolling the city at the time, came across her and Spongebob got on her case, asking her if she had a license for selling cookies. Helen stated that she didn't have a license and Spongebob promptly arrested her. Mr. Krabs worried that Spongebob was being a bit too tough on a little girl and questioned if she was really committing a crime.
Helen was taken back to the police station, where the cop congratulated Spongebob on making such a big arrest, detailed Helen the Felon as the most feared and revered criminal in Bikini Bottom. Spongebob was surprised that such a little girl could have such a record, patting Helen on the head and calling her adorable. The cop told Helen that she could drop the act and Helen revealed her true self as she turned off her cuteness and went full-on psychopathic, biting Spongebob's arm and kicking Mr. Krabs in the crotch.
Helen would be brought in for interrogation, where Spongebob put on a tough-guy facade started asking her questions. Helen fought back by putting on a tough-guy facade of her own. Helen insulted Spongebob and asked him a few questions, striking the latter with fear. Spongebob got nervous and broke down, confessing to a bunch of his own "crimes" instead of getting any information out of Helen, like he was supposed to.
At the end of the episode, Helen, Spongebob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Plankton were all arrested and thrown into the same cell together.
In "Escape From Beneath Glove World", Helen the Felon, along with tons of other kids were trapped in the prison cell below Glove World. Teeming with swag, Helen leaned against the wall in a shadowy corner of the cell, crudely broke the arm off a baby doll, and said that she was in jail for murdering someone. The other kids backed away from her in fear. Helen quickly emerged from the shadows and goofily said that she was only kidding and that her real crime was simply biting the lemonade salesman. A kid mentioned that said salesman hated kids and Helen said that's the reason why she bit him and high fived the kid with the dismembered baby hand.
Spongebob slipped out of his jail cell, which Helen saw as the start of a jailbreak. She and the other kids broke out of the prison cell and ran away.
