After SpongeBob dreams about becoming a jellyfish and living in the wilderness, he accidentally starts a fire and Mr. Krabs asks him why he is not concentrating. SpongeBob explains that he wishes to live in [[Jellyfish Fields]] with the jellyfish. Mr. Krabs laughs heartily and then explains to SpongeBob that he would not last even one day in the wild. SpongeBob thinks he can do it on his own and angrily quits his job as a fry cook. Mr. Krabs is certain that he will return.

SpongeBob goes home and starts giving away all his material possessions to his friends. He even gives a tearful Patrick his prized [[jellyfish net]], [[Ol' Reliable]].

SpongeBob eventually jumps into a jellyfish hive out of Patrick's reach, forcing him to concede defeat. He then breaks SpongeBob's net and walks back home upset.

Synopsis

After SpongeBob dreams about becoming a jellyfish and living in the wilderness, he accidentally starts a fire and Mr. Krabs asks him why he is not concentrating. SpongeBob explains that he wishes to live in Jellyfish Fields with the jellyfish. Mr. Krabs laughs heartily and then explains to SpongeBob that he would not last even one day in the wild. SpongeBob thinks he can do it on his own and angrily quits his job as a fry cook. Mr. Krabs is certain that he will return.

SpongeBob goes home and starts giving away all his material possessions to his friends. He even gives a tearful Patrick his prized jellyfish net, Ol' Reliable. Sandy comes over and asks SpongeBob if he's having a yard sale. SpongeBob denies it and says that he is giving up all his possessions to go live with the jellyfish. Sandy is shocked to hear about this and tells SpongeBob that they are cold, mean and not to bright. SpongeBob then denies her response and tells everyone that one day they will end up like him. After saying goodbye to all his friends, SpongeBob removes his clothes and runs away while acting like a jellyfish, leaving Sandy and Squidward somewhat confused as to why he took off his pants.

Once he arrives at Jellyfish Fields, SpongeBob is glad to be "home" and he tries to fit in with the other jellyfish, but cannot get the hang of it. Meanwhile, Patrick and Sandy have a picnic to try to trick SpongeBob into coming back but he resists. Patrick desperately tries to get SpongeBob to return home, but SpongeBob still refuses since he is happy out in the wild. He leaves while Sandy tries to drag the hysterical Patrick away.

A crazed and heartbroken Patrick soon returns with Ol' Reliable, intent on making SpongeBob his trophy. Patrick show SpongeBob the jar that he will put him in once he catches him. SpongeBob frantically tries to dissuade Patrick as his former friend chases him through Jellyfish Fields.

    File:Nature Pants 106 (1999).png

    Ah My jellyfish friends are now returning.

  • In the Croatian dub, the episode title is "Povratak Prirodi," which translates to "Back to the Nature."
  • When SpongeBob says his jellyfish friends are now returning he looks at the audience thus breaking the fourth wall.

Errors

  • During the initial kitchen scene in the Krusty Krab, the grill is shown facing the opposite side of the window. This also occurs in "Your Shoe's Untied".
  • In the first shot of Mr. Krabs, he says, "Wake up, boy! You're burning me money!" However, his mouth syncs only with, "You're burning me money!"
  • When the fire extinguisher hits the grill, the patties are shifted significantly to the left, with one floating in mid-air in front of the cabinet. This is corrected in the next scene, right before the grill bursts into flames.
  • The side view of the Krusty Krab when SpongeBob walks to it is wrong; it is a long-length version of the restaurant with the logo at the end of it, and the restaurant should have been shorter.
  • When SpongeBob stands in front of the Krusty Krab door, a part of his pants can be seen, even though he is still naked in the next shot.
  • When SpongeBob goes to his house, he appears in the back of it instead of the front door.
  • Sandy should not have felt the poison sea urchins because she is wearing her underwater suit.
  • Sandy's head is smaller than it usually is.
  • In the Latin American version of this episode, Patrick still calls Sandy by her American name, despite the fact that Sandy is called "Arenita" in the Latin American version.
  • When SpongeBob's friends celebrate that SpongeBob came home, Patrick's mouth is missing.
  • After SpongeBob's Krusty Krab employee hat falls off of his head when he is hugging Squidward, the hat cannot be seen laying on the ground of SpongeBob's pineapple in the next scene.
