One Sunday morning, a drugged Squidward gives Patrick Jr. the keys to his Bugatti. This proves to be a terrible mistake as Patrick Jr. then get's into a heated confrontation with a particularly angry driver, which leads to a terrible car accident. Now with only days to live, Patrick Jr. asks Squidward one favor, to find the man who did this and make him pay. Squidward makes it his mission to do so.
== Story ==
Squidward walked out of his bedroom with his droopy eyes and a foul smell, itching his balls. Patrick Jr. was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching the television. "Patrick Jr.?! Don't you have work today!?" Squidward yelled. "Nope. I was fired yesterday." Patrick Jr. responded. "Oh, brother." Squidward sighed. "Man, I must have been real drunk last night because my head's pounding!" Squidward complained, whilst making himself a coffee. 
Patrick Jr. ran over to his roommate before asking him a question. 
"Hey Squid! I'm going to be getting my learner's permit tomorrow, which means I can pretty much drive now, so I was wondering-"
"You're not getting my Bugatti." Squidward cut him off. "I just wanted to test drive it!" Patrick Jr. complained. "No! I paid too much for that car to have it demolished by you!" Squidward argued. "I promise I'll be extra careful!". 
"The answer is no." Squidward responded. Squidward then walked over to the sofa and changed the channel from Cartoon Network to Sponge@Night. Then Patrick Jr. gets an idea. He ran to the medicine cabinet and pulled out a can of "Stupid Pills". He had done this before and Squidward had done it also, and every time it worked perfectly. He quickly drops two pills into the mug before Squidward leans over to take a sip.
The pills' affect is instant. "So, can I drive your Bugatti?" Patrick Jr. asks again. "Sure." Squidward responds. Happy, Patrick Jr. ran outside to drive his new toy. Just then, Squidward looked out the window to make sure that the cops where away, as they had been across the street last night. Seeing no cars, Squidward ran into his room, pulling out a drawer full of weed. "Perfect." Squidwars said to himself, smiling. 
Unfortunately, stupid pills where safe, for the most part, in small quantities and by themselves, but paired with other substances, such as weed, they can prove to be extremely dangerous. Unaware of his current intoxication, Squidward took a puff of the stick. He then grabbed a tissue because he had to sneeze. After he had done that, he looked at the tissue and was shocked to see he had just sneezed out a part of his brain! 
"HOLY SH*T!" Squidward yelled. He attempted to run to the nearby ambulance. This would prove to be difficult given the combination of stupid pills and weed, warring on his brain. 
Across the city, Patrick Jr. was driving around in his new ride. He was going speeds that the vehicle itself wasn't even built for! He was going so fast that he didn't even notice the two cops on his tail. He looked into his rearview mirror and was shocked by what he saw. He slammed on the brakes, which would then send his vehicle six feet in the air. He then came crashing back down onto one of the cop's cars. He ran out of his car and put his hands up. "Sorry about that, officers." He said with an anxious grin. The cops where not amused. He was thrown into the back of one of their cars. However, one of the cops got a call on his walkie talkie and leant over the answer it. He was shocked to hear that the station just got a report of a naked octopus running through the city sneezing out his brains. They immediately forgot about Patrick Jr. and ran off to book this weirdo. This gave Patrick Jr. the chance hop back into his vehicle and escape. Hastily driving away. 
Squidward's IQ was dropping and fast. Before long, the two cops found his lying on the sidewalk. They took him into custody, and back to the station where they ran some tests on him. This led them to the conclusion that this man was simply drugged and was trying to get the hospital; thus, he committed no true crime. Rather than being thrown in jail, he was then escorted to the hospital to salvage whatever parts of his brain remained. Patrick Jr. was getting hungry, so he decided to stop at the nearest McDonalds. He stepped inside and sat in a booth next to a man with a very strong (and very odd sounding) British accent. Patrick Jr. didn't notice him at first. When Ronald McDonald walked over to him, asking for his order, Patrick Jr. responded with the whole menu. Ronald walked back over the counter and Patrick Jr. waited for his food. 
Back at the hospital, Squidward's brain was able to be salvaged and his IQ was brought back to normal. Squidward decided to use this as a teaching moment to himself. From that point on, he vowed never to smoke weed again. He went back to his home and sold all his weed to charity. 
Meanwhile, Patrick Jr. was gorging himself on the entire McDonald's menu and he was very loud about it. Disgusted by the slob behind him, the British man leant over and asked if he could chew with his mouth closed. Then, it happened. Patrick Jr. heard the man's voice and couldn't contain his laughter. His laughter echoes through the city. The man was infuriated and deeply embarrassed. Patrick Jr. noticed the anger, but rather than apologize, decided instead to make an escape, leaving his check behind him. He ran into the Bugatti and attempted to drive away, but the man was behind him, in his Porche. The chase continued for several minutes. Patrick Jr. thought he lost him, when suddenly he noticed the massive semitruck in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, again sending him seven feet into the air. When he landed, he turned around and just then noticed the Porche flying into the side of the car. 
Squidward heard on the news of the horrific crash. He rushed to the hospital. Patrick Jr. was on life support and every bone in his body was broken. The doctor explained that Patrick Jr.'s injuries are so severe he has only days to live. Squidward felt sorry for his annoying roommate and wondered if he could do anything to help. Patrick Jr. gave him a surprising request, which was to find and kill the man responsible. Squidward set out to do just that. 
Squidward followed various men in the city who had strong British accents, but none of them met Patrick Jr.'s description. Until eventually he stumbled upon a man getting his Porche towed. The description was spot on. Squidward then followed him back to his apartment before kidnapping him and bringing him back to his house. Squidward took the blind fold off the man. "What do you want!?" The man yelled. "I am simply carrying out a favor!" Squidward responded. He then readied his shotgun and then fired. He drove out to a lake, and dumped the body there. He then returned home to answer a phone call. Patrick Jr. was going to survive! Squidward jumped for joy, but said joy was short-lived, as just then, the police kicked down his door and nailed him to the floor, cuffing him.
== Reception ==
As mentioned before, this episode was surprisingly well-received and is considered the best in the series. It was this episode that saved the show and WHAT?! Studios with it. 
== Trivia ==
* This episode's production was difficult due to it being the first episode without the sponsor ship of Daddy Pig Inc. This was due to DPI being bought out by Chris Chan. Chris Chan hated the show and Fred the Frick, and vice versa. This lead to WHAT?! Studios dropping him as a sponsor and instead choosing instead to continue without sponsor ship.
* Keanu Reeves says this episode and series is the single best project he has ever had the honor to work on.
