==Synopsis==
Squidward wakes up after having a nightmare from working at the Krusty Krab, with the customers yelling at him, SpongeBob annoying him, and Mr. Krabs forcing him to clean everything up. He then gets sad when he thinks about his unfinished painting, his symphony, and his fresh strudel, which Patrick gobbles up. Squidward then ultimately decides that instead of going to work, he will stay home and "dive into an ocean of Squidward."
He then calls Mr. Krabs and lies about being sick, but the latter is not fooled. He then goes over to Squidward's house and has SpongeBob take care of him until he is better, much to Squidward's dismay. Squidward tries to relax by finishing his painting, playing his clarinet, and eating his strudel, but SpongeBob constantly annoys him in an attempt to treat his disease.
SpongeBob later checks Squidward's temperature, only to find that it is normal. SpongeBob then concludes that Squidward is better now and they can go back to work, but Squidward tricks SpongeBob by sticking the thermometer into the oven, making it break. SpongeBob then gets a bunch of ice from the mountains to cool Squidward down.
SpongeBob then realizes that he has been treating the symptoms instead of the disease. Squidward then claims he has "acute spotting sclorboritis," but he realizes it is actually real when SpongeBob finds it in a book. When Squidward sees the way it is treated, he then says it is actually "Plerkington's syndrome," which SpongeBob "cures" by using leeches to suck Squidward's blood, jellyfish to electrocute Squidward, and using a rake to clear the leaves in Squidward's lungs.
Mr. Krabs later calls to check on Squidward, to which the latter claims he is all better and begs the former to let him come to work. However, thinking that Squidward still needs to learn his lesson, Mr. Krabs pretends that Squidward is still very sick and tells SpongeBob to step up the cure. SpongeBob then seizes a sea urchin on Squidward.
The day after at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob describes all the things he did to Squidward and Mr. Krabs laughs. Squidward arrives in bandages, but takes them off to unveil Handsome Squidward, which Mr. Krabs faints at. Handsome Squidward says that SpongeBob cured his illnesses and goes to the register. Unfortunately, the customers begin yelling at Squidward for him to take their orders and SpongeBob begins annoying him again. Squidward then loses his hair and begins revering back to his normal self and melts down, claiming he is going to be sick, as the episode ends.
