## Synopsis

The episode begins with SpongeBob taking his driver's test again, only to end up crashing onto Mrs. Puff's lighthouse, causing all of the items inside it to fall out. SpongeBob wants to make up for doing this by offering to do many things for her, but Mrs. Puff shuts him down after trying to fix the boat engine, spilling oil on her. Mrs. Puff then suggests that SpongeBob clean the lighthouse, to which he accepts doing while Mrs. Puff listens to rock music.

SpongeBob cleans successfully, and at some point, he hears a noise coming from where the lantern is and thinks it is a ghost. However, it turns out the noise was coming from a stray snail. SpongeBob takes him as his companion while he cleans.

However, Louie ends up distracting SpongeBob as he cleans. He comes up with a plan by tricking Louie into eating a Krabby Patty so he can trap him, but the snail ends up trapping SpongeBob instead. When he gets outside the box using the strength from the Krabby Patty, he cannot find Louie.

It turns out Louie was on top of the lighthouse. However, when Louie attacks SpongeBob, they cause so much ruckus that the lighthouse tips over and starts rolling around Bikini Bottom. After causing lots of destruction in town, the lighthouse rolls back into the position it originally was in.

It is revealed that Louie has produced offspring, and after that, SpongeBob shows Mrs. Puff what he has done, impressing her. The episode ends with the citizens of Bikini Bottom getting angry at Mrs. Puff as her lighthouse destroyed the town, while she starts listening to rock music again.

## Production

The episode was confirmed by Vincent Waller on Template:Time, Template:Time.

* One of the many objects within the lighthouse is a newspaper about Mrs. Puff with the headline "Deranged Boat Teacher Makes Getaway" and the subtitle "Distracts authorities with balloon animals." This is referring to an incident Mrs. Puff implies to in "No Free Rides," where she moved towns and changed her name. The picture of Mrs. Puff on the newspaper is taken from the same episode.
	+ The newspaper featuring the story is called the "New Kelp Post," which is a reference to New Kelp City from "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?"
* "**My leg!:**" Perch Perkins yells "Your legs!" when he interviews Fred to see if himself and his legs were injured from the Boating School lighthouse, which Fred denies.
* This is the third episode where SpongeBob owns a pet whom he initially thinks is male, but is later revealed to be female. The first is "Pet or Pests" with Mrs. Wormsley and the second is "Sanctuary!" with Esmerelda.
	+ Although "Louie" is a masculine-sounding name, the snail is revealed to be female when it is revealed that she can give birth; with the exception of seahorses, male organisms cannot get pregnant. Its female identity is further confirmed when SpongeBob jokes that he should have named her "Louise."
* This is the first episode to use the track "Finger of Fear" since "The Main Drain."
* This is the first episode to use the original "12th Street Rag 3" since "Pet Sitter Pat."
