Plot

Sandy invents a teleportation machine, which SpongeBob uses to travel directly to the Krusty Krab. Unfortunately, Squidward was at the exact same place where SpongeBob traveled to. SpongeBob and Squidward are mixed up together, with grotesque results. Squidward states that he has a clarinet recital tomorrow night. He begs and pleads with Sandy hoping that Sandy will invent a new experiment to separate them. After the applause from the audience Squidward decides he doesn't want to be defused. Sandy separates them and Squidward gets angry. He starts pressing knobs and buttons on the machine and ends up fusing everyone together. The episode ends when Squidward is asked by a therapist, "What seems to be the problem, Mr. Tentacles?" Squidward then replies, "It all started... When I was born." At which point the camera zooms out to show that everyone from the audience is fused together in a grotesque conglomeration.

Cultural References

• Squidward's hair in his fantasy is similar to Kenny G's
• The "being fused with a teleportation device" premise is taken from The Fly.
• A similar fusing occurred in a "Star Trek: Voyager" episode, when Tuvok and Neelix fused due to a teleporter incident into the character Tuvix. As the case with SpongeBob and Squidward, Tuvok and Neelix are quite dissimilar and could hardly be called friends.

Trivia/Goofs

• In later episodes, all the characters are in their same body again, where Sandy is sponge, squid, crab, snail, puffer fish, sea- star, and squirrel in this episode. The doctor possibly cured them or one of them came up with an idea to solve themselves.
• In this episode, when SpongeBob and Squidward are mutated, Squidward uses SpongeBob's yellow arm to move and SpongeBob uses Squidward's gray arm to move. At the end of the episode, before they go on stage, SpongeBob tells Squidward, "Now go out there and give them the best darn show they have ever seen," pointing with the yellow arm, not the gray.
• When SpongeBob and Squidward go do their jobs, SpongeBob cannot reach the buns. However, in episodes like Squid Wood, SpongeBob is show to have expandable arms. But then, he was using Squidward's arm.
• At the end of the episode, SpongeBob, Squidward, Sandy, Patrick, Mr Krabs, Pearl, Mrs. Puff, and Larry (not seen in the last scene) were melded together, but it never showed how they got back to normal.
• This is the first time Squidward and Spongebob get mixed up. The second one was in Slimy Dancing.
• When Squidward says, "I can't be stuck to him!" A shot shows SpongeBob with two yellow arms.
• If you haven't noticed, all the characters that get mixed with Squidward are all the main characters! But why doesn't Larry appear at the end with Squidward?
• This is the only episode pair to have the titles parody the show SpongeBob SquarePants.
• This is one of the episode where something bad happens just because SpongeBob is late. Others were Missing Identity and New Digs.
• Last of the 2005 episodes. The next episode, Krusty Towers, aired in 2006.
• SpongeBob's tie cannot have a face!
