Synopsis

The episode begins with Squidward going to his RV so he can go to Porpoise Peak to see a the warbling water lily. SpongeBob and Patrick see him and 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.

Squidward is sad that he can't 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 and 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 attacks Squidward as they thought he caused it to rot.

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

It turns out the sea bears were friendly to the two, and they then maul Squidward. The three head back home, and SpongeBob gives Squidward the water lily. Overjoyed, Squidward plays the clarinet, making SpongeBob and Patrick run away and the episode ends.

    • And also both of them are airing to the show's 21st anniversary.
• This became the most-leaked episode in the series.
• According to Vincent Waller on Twitter, this was the final episode fully finished before Stephen Hillenburg's death.

• The license plate on SpongeBob's RV says, "IM-RDY," just like it does in "No Free Rides" and "Sharks vs. Pods."
• In the every title card ever on the official SpongeBob SquarePants account on Instagram the title card for this episode was skipped.
• Whenever Squidward slams down his suitcase on SpongeBob, SpongeBob appears to have Squidward's spare shirt on, which is a callback to SpongeBob wearing Squidward's shirt at the end of "The Paper."

• A clip of the episode was shown in a YTV promo during the spring of 2019.
