Characters[]

Synopsis[]

In the beginning of the episode, Squidward goes to his RV so he can go to Porpoise Peak to see the warbling water lily. SpongeBob and Patrick see him, and they want to come with him on his trip. However, Patrick grabs the ramp from the RV, causing it to roll down the road and get crushed by a giant anchor and then explode.

"SpongeBob, why is your house... driving on the road?!"

Squidward is upset that he cannot see the water lily and goes home. SpongeBob and Patrick feel bad for him, so they turn SpongeBob's house into an RV. Squidward has a dream about seeing two water lilies with SpongeBob and Patrick's faces as the flower. Squidward wakes up to realize he is in SpongeBob's RV and that they are on the road.

They eventually reach Porpoise Peak and Squidward comes out to see the warbling water lily. As a big crowd of people also come to see the water lily, Patrick digs the plant out and gives it to Squidward. The flower rots because of this, and the crowd pummels Squidward, seeing him as the cause of the flower's rot.

Squidward gets the idea to take the RV and leave SpongeBob and Patrick behind at Porpoise Peak, just to get rid of them. However, he gets worried about them as he is driving, and heads back to see if they are alright. Squidward hears screams from a cave, and he attacks a sea bear, as he thinks it is hurting SpongeBob and Patrick.

It turns out the sea bears were friendly to the two, but they maul Squidward for hitting one of them. The three head back home, and SpongeBob gives Squidward the water lily. Overjoyed, Squidward plays the clarinet, which makes SpongeBob and Patrick run away, as the episode ends.

Production[]

On November 7, 2018, this segment, along with "The Krusty Slammer," were officially completed and delivered to Nickelodeon Animation Studio.

The episode was confirmed by Vincent Waller on December 17, 2018.[2]
