## Synopsis

On a very hot day in the city of Winston, New Hampshire, Mike Mormon, age 17, lays on the couch, naked. His father, Mark Mormon, walks into the living room and notices this. Apparently, Mark doesn’t care about the house’s temperature and wants to watch sports. Mike’s mother, Mary asks her husband if he changed the temperature in the house. Mark refuses to change the temperature in the house and decides to take the family to the beach.

Sometime later, Mark takes the family and Mike’s friends, Connor Wettermenn, Kyle Anderson, and Cody Timber, to the beach. They arrive at the beach. After some shenanigans including dumping a bucket of sand with a crab in it into Connor’s trunks, Mike’s crush, Missy Shellbee, arrives. Missy decides to go surfing with Mike and her friend, Ashley Anderson. They go surfing on a big wave, which Mike is afraid of. After getting off the wave, Missy and Ashley arrive back on the land, but without Mike. Mike appears to be drowning underwater.

He lands in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. Two sea creatures named SpongeBob and Patrick, who you might’ve seen on television, notice what they think is an unconscious whale and bring him to the treedome of their friend Sandy the squirrel. Sandy says that Mike is a human and not a whale. She gives Mike an air helmet like the one she wears underwater.

Mike wakes up and notices them. He is worried that his friends and family are going to lose him and quickly realizes that he knows how to swim. Mike says goodbye to the creatures and swims back to the surface. He reconciles with his family and friends.

## Trivia/Goofs

* This is the first episode of the YouTube series, but not the first piece of media of the franchise produced. The comics were produced way back in 2017 to early 2019 before they were publicly uploaded on Tapas in November of 2019.
* This also wasn't the first episode produced for the show as a scrapped episode called "The Conscience" was going to be episode 1, then eventually scrapped.
* This episode, along with "Break a Leg!" are the only episodes with every piece of dialogue placed in a dialogue bubble. Pakenham retired from that concept after that because he thought that would be distracting, although subtitles were placed throughout the episode in "Mike Watches the Paramount DVD Logo" and "The Telltale Invention", and was also retired afterward.
* This episode originally had no dialogue when it was originally uploaded. However, on March 31, 2020, this episode was reuploaded with dialogue. The intro was included as well.
* This is the episode with the most reuploads.
* **Goof:** Missy's line "Well, at least we survived that big guy." after she and Ashley land back on the surface was muted. According to series creator Michael Pakenham, the reason why is because the audio was glitching in that part. Luckily, that was fixed when the episode was once again reuploaded on January 25, 2021.
* This episode spawned a Mercy's Meeting parody remake of it, which is episode 11 (part 2) of The Adventures of Mercy And Friends.
