Dedicated Propensity to Unfolding, or The Taste of Fixatives is the fifth episode of Bikini Bottom Adventures. It was released on November 10, 2019, was written, directed, and filmed by , and was produced by William Underscore Productions Ltd.
==Plot==
Squidward lies in wait for eight seconds. He then appears and transforms into an apple, but his reluctance to change back results in him getting picked up. Later, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward bemoan the rainy day outside, before it suddenly turns dark. Patrick freaks out until Squidward passes him some anti-dark medication. Soon, Bad Guy appears, revealing himself to be the cause of the dark. He torments the gang until Squidward decides to plan a surprise attack.
An apple is seen on the desk, which Bad Guy sees and picks up. SpongeBob and Patrick, hiding, think it is Squidward in disguise planning to surprise him, but Squidward shows up next to them and reveals he just placed it there. They bicker until Bad Guy finishes eating the apple, proclaiming it to be "not as good as the last one" - revealing it was he who picked Squidward up earlier, as shown in a flashback. The flashback unfortunately forgets to end, and it soon moves on to show another, twisted Bikini Bottom Adventures episode, which suddenly cuts off.
==Transcript==
Opens on a shot of SpongeBob and Patrick sitting silently in Bikini Bottom. Text appears that reads: "Squidward lies in wait for eight seconds." Eight seconds later, Squidward pops up from the bottom of the screen, as 'for David K.' by "Blue" Gene Tyranny starts playing.
Squidward: It is I! Squidward Quintus Tentacles! (pronounced like 'Heracles') I transform into an apple.
Squidward transforms into an apple.
Patrick: Oh, Squidward, we are wise to your tricks! Unshield at once!
Squidward: Never!
A hand reaches out and picks Squidward up.
Squidward: Wait, what's— wait! No—!
The video freezes as text appears that reads: "THE FIFTH EPISODE OF BIKINI BOTTOM ADVENTURES". Neil Young's 'See the Sky About to Rain' plays. The scene cuts to SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward (now no longer an apple) lying on the bed.
SpongeBob: (sighs) Wow. (pause) Wooooooow.
Patrick: Just another day in Bikini Bottom.
Squidward: Yeah, another rainy day. (He gets up and gestures outside.) I mean just look at it! It's been raining all day! You know who else rains all day? Y... your MOM.
Scene cuts quickly to Patrick looking at a weather app on a smartphone.
Patrick: Don't worry, Squidward! According to the weather app, it's sure to clear up soon—
Patrick looks up at the window. The previously bright day outside has now turned into darkness. He pauses in shock and then starts freaking out, to the tune of 'purity' by Crisis Sigil.
Patrick: DARK! DARK! DARK!
SpongeBob: DARK! DARK! DARK!
Squidward: DARK! DARK! D...
They all fall silent. Patrick gets up, while Roland Kayn's 'Intermodulation' plays in the background.
Patrick: SpongeBob! I'm scared! (Starts to collapse inwards.) My loins quiver...
SpongeBob: Patrick, have you been taking your anti-dark medication lately?
Patrick: I'm all out! The well is closed on bank holidays...
Squidward: Here, try some of mine.
Squidward holds up a disembodied letter 'a'. The letter floats away and fuses itself with Patrick's being.
Patrick: (sighs) Much better.
SpongeBob: But where did the dark come from? Was it a gift from... the Creator?
The music swells as SpongeBob and Patrick stare in wonder. Suddenly, the text "NO" appears on screen with a large burst of static, and then disappears.
SpongeBob: ...Aw. Well then who?
Bad Guy reveals himself.
Bad Guy: BAD GUY!
SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward jolt backwards in shock., as Lola's Pocket PC's 'Lola' plays in the background.
Bad Guy: Huahahahaha! Spooky spell!
Bad Guy starts performing a spooky spell. It sucks the anti-dark medication out of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward.
Patrick: Wait! No!!
Bad Guy: Huahaha! Who will save you from the dark now? Huahaha!
The three characters collectively think, "You?"
Bad Guy: ...Uh... wh-NONSENSE, you giga-fools! I have brought this darkness upon you. I will leave your bodies hanging from the edge of heaven's light, shining like a great torch through a valley carved by its own death! 
Squidward glances at the camera in bemusement.
Bad Guy: And it shall be so... ad eternum! Muahahaha...
The definition of 'ad eternum' displays on the screen before cutting to SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: But why?
Bad Guy: Every night... I have been plagued by dreams...
The camera zooms slowly on Bad Guy, as Madonna's 'although we are madonna' swells in the background. Suddenly, the flashback ends, and Bad Guy springs into action.
Bad Guy: WAAAAAA—!
Bad Guy floats menacingly above the trio, to the tune of Mike Krol's 'Grade School Love'.
Bad Guy: WEEEUOUEEEUEUEOOUEEUWWW
Patrick: Gasp! What do we do? I haven't been trained for this!
SpongeBob: Well, Patrick, it's worth understanding that neither have we. (pause) You ignacious prat.
Jump cut to SpongeBob shaking in terror.
SpongeBob: OH MY GOD LOOK OUT—
Bad Guy: WHEE!
SpongeBob and Patrick duck out of Bad Guy's path as he smashes into Squidward with a crude explosion gif.
Squidward: Ow.
SpongeBob: How long... how long will he torment us?!
The music changes to Toby Fox's 'Stress' as Squidward gets up.
Squidward: Well, I'm not gonna cower in fear! We gotta think of something. We gotta surprise the tyranny out of him. Any ideas?
SpongeBob and Patrick stare at Squidward for a while. The music stops abruptly.
Squidward: ...No. No, not, absolutely not, no, I'm not gonna—
Cut to an apple on a table. Both Naked Flames' 'Fire Farming' and Jacques Rivette's 'Celine et Julie vont en bateau' play in the background. Bad Guy approaches.
Bad Guy: ...Mm? Ooh! Don't mind if I do, hurrhurrhurr...
Bad Guy seizes the apple and exits. The camera pans slowly to SpongeBob and Patrick, hiding in the corner.
Patrick: It's working! He took the bait!
SpongeBob: Now Squidward can unshield himself and take him by surprise!
Squidward: Who, me?
Squidward stands next to SpongeBob and Patrick, who turn slowly towards him. There is a long silence.
SpongeBob: ...Squidward what have you done.
Squidward: Oh, I just put an apple there.
Another pause. All three start arguing at once.
SpongeBob: ...Squiiidwaaaard! Now he's gonna come back and the plan will be ruined and we'll probably get killed!
Squidward: Hey—no—I'm not gonna do this again! You saw what happened! No! I'm not gonna do that!
Patrick: But that was the whole plaaaan! Oh, what are we gonna—
A clean apple core lands in front of the trio, who freeze in place.
SpongeBob: Whuah!!
Cut to Bad Guy, as the second movement of Mahler's 5th symphony ominously plays.
Bad Guy: Hmm. That was a good apple! Not as good as the last one, though...
Camera zooms sharply on Squidward.
Squidward: (gasps) That was YOU, all along!!
Fade to a flashback, of Squidward in apple form on the table.
Squidward (offscreen): When I, too, was an apple, you were the one who took me away!
A hand reaches out and picks Squidward up.
Squidward: Wait, what's— wait! No—!
The video freezes as text appears that reads: "THE FIFTH EPISODE OF BIKINI BOTTOM ADVENTURES". Sacred Tapestry's 'Spirited Child' plays. The scene cuts to SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward (now no longer an apple) lying on the bed, shivering. The flashback does not end.
SpongeBob: Guys... It's cold.
Patrick: Ooh, it's chilly.
SpongeBob: Oh.
Patrick: Cold.
SpongeBob: Cold.
Patrick: You should be ashamed! We shouldn't, I mean, everyone should. We're good? We should be good! (they laugh)
SpongeBob: Yay!
Patrick: Okay then!
The next time SpongeBob is seen, SpongeBob appears at the door and is greeted by Patrick when they arrive at Patrick's house on the first day of school.
Patrick: So, SpongeBob, I hear what's the deal?
SpongeBob: Yeah, I don't know. I think everyone's been waiting just this one year.
Patrick: Yeah. Well let's not let it slip to your doorstep! (shakes SpongeBob's hand)
SpongeBob: No! There's only one reason I'm here and that's to make sure your daughter doesn't become an animal.
That same da
