Synopsis

The episode opens with Squidward dancing to his classical music. SpongeBob and Patrick come in and scare him up the ceiling. Squidward gets down and asks the two why they are in his house. The two reply that they are bored. They then proceed to eat the food in his refrigerator. As Squidward sees them trying to find food, he comes up with an idea, a scavenger hunt.

Squidward first tells them to bring back a desert sandwich, which can only be found in the Bikini Badlands. SpongeBob and Patrick proceed to the desert where they see a tornado coming towards them, which sucks them back to Squidward's house. Out then comes the witch, who makes Squidward a sandwich. The problem is, the sandwich tries to eat Squidward, so Squidward has to lock it up.

He then sends them on another task that he thinks is impossible, which is to bring back the Boxing Begonia, which can only be found deep in the Mariana Trench. SpongeBob and Patrick head towards a deep canyon and they try to go down with a rope attached to a rock. However, SpongeBob's rope is

too short, so he asks Patrick if he has one. Patrick says he has one, but he actually unattached it from the rock, causing them to fall to the bottom. They bring back the flower to Squidward, which actually punches him.

Squidward then gives them another task, to bring back the Loch Ness Monster. He claims that it is impossible since it will eat them if they find it. SpongeBob and Patrick travel to a lake faraway with bagpipes to attract it. When SpongeBob plays the bagpipes, it comes to them. Somehow they bring it back alive and Squidward is shocked. Squidward plays the bagpipes, thinking it likes it, but SpongeBob says it hates it, so the monster eats him.

After being released from the digestive tract of the Loch Ness Monster, SpongeBob and Patrick demand some more tasks, so he assigns them a task that is 100% impossible to solve, which is to find his long-lost "brother." He sends them away, hoping they never come back. SpongeBob and Patrick search for the "brother" for months on end, with one attempt going to Squidward's house and thinking that he was the "brother." Many months later, they find Mrs. Tentacles, who tells them Squidward doesn't have any siblings. SpongeBob, saddened that Squidward had to dream of one, then comes up with a plan.

Squidward is then seen playing his clarinet and running and dancing around. While SpongeBob and Patrick were gone, he attached their houses to his and created his own playground. SpongeBob tells Squidward that he and Patrick found his brother, but then Squidward tells them that he doesn't have one. Patrick then tells him he now has two brothers, SpongeBob and himself. It turns out that Mama Tentacles adopted them

so they are now one family, as shown when the camera man takes a picture of the new family, which drives Squidward nuts since those two are the bane of his existence.

Trivia

General

• This episode was confirmed exactly 3 months before it premiered.

Suprised SpongeBob and Patrick

Dried SpongeBob

• This episode makes a few references to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
  • SpongeBob and Patrick make their "surprised" faces when they first see the Badlands.
  • The trench is very similar to the trench from the movie.
  • SpongeBob's voice when he's dried out is just like what it sounded like when the Cyclops dries him out with a lamp.
• This was Luke Brookshier's first episode for season 11, his first episode since "SpongeBob You're Fired," and his first as a solo writer as well.
• It is revealed that the reason Squidward doesn't have a brother or sister is that his mother thought Squidward was enough.
• The song "I Hate People" from "SpongeBob's Place" returns in this episode, but instead of Squidward singing it, he plays along on his clarinet.
• The real Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, with a maximum depth of 36,070 ft (10,994 meters) below sea level. In this episode, the Mariana Trench is treated more as an extremely deep canyon.
• This episode premiered eleven years after the Best Day Ever marathon started, six years after "Mr. Krabs Takes a Vacation" premiered, and one year after SpongeBob Comics No. 62 released.
• The Russian title for this episode is "Ищи, пока не найдешь," which translates to "Search it until you find it."

Cultural references

• The episode references the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by having the Badlands be 20,000 leagues away.
  • This is the second episode to reference 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the first being "20,000 Patties Under the Sea," in which in that case it's referenced in the title.
• The Mariana Trench is a real life trench in the Pacific Ocean, and it is classified as the deepest part of the world's oceans.

Errors

File:Surprised SpongeBob Goof.jpeg

• When SpongeBob and Patrick react to the Badlands, SpongeBob's teeth are missing.
• It would be impossible for Mrs. Tentacles to legally adopt SpongeBob and Patrick because they are legal adults.
  • Also, SpongeBob and Patrick already have their own parents.
  • This technically doesn't really count, as according to Vincent Waller on Twitter, this show is non-continuing episodic.
• When SpongeBob opens the door and smashes Squidward and his clarinet, his clarinet is missing by the time he frees himself.
• When Squidward was spinning the globe multiple times, the Philippines and Japan from the world globe are missing.

His arms and robe are sticking out

• When Squidward took his robe off while dancing, his hands are still visible on the robe.
