## The Plot

The episode begins with a title card saying "Squidward's Suicide," like the full release of the tape. The opening credits read "storyboard director, Madison Richards" "storyboard artist, Dylan Grant" "animation director, Andrew Skinner" "creative director, Paul MacLoued" "written by Andrew Skinner".

The bubble transition plays as normal, and we are given a view of Conch Street from the front side. Patrick's house is nowhere to be seen. The screen zooms in on Squidward's house, Squidward was playing his clarinet. SpongeBob can be heard laughing merrily outside. Squidward stops playing, walks to the window talking to himself about how annoying SpongeBob is. He looks out his window and yells to SpongeBob to knock it off as he has a concert to practice for that night. SpongeBob says Sorry to Squidward, and it cuts back to Conch Street's front view, bur instead of zooming in Squidward's house, it's zooming out of it. The bubbles pop up, and the concert scene can be seen. The crowd is looking at Squidward as he starts playing his clarinet.

As the shot goes to the crowd, everyone starts booing Squidward, but they all have realistic red eyes. Even Spongebob and Patrick were booing, very unlike them. Also, a Scottish fish is sitting near SpongeBob, the same Scottish fish from Red Mist. The crowd leaves and the scene switches to Squidward sitting on the side of his bed. There is absolutely no audio.

After forty seconds, Squidward covers his face and starts sobbing softly. There is a noise in the background, it is the sound of a gale blowing through a forest. After thirty seconds Squidward uncovers his eyes to reveal two hyper-realistic red eyes, the same eyes the crowd had when they were booing at him, and the sobbing noise becomes louder. After ten seconds the screen switches to Squidward looking at the camera with red eyes, like in Red Mist. He keeps blinking for forty seconds straight, after that he takes a pistol and shoots himself, covering the screen with blood.

The final seconds consists of Squidward's lifeless body lying on the floor and blood on the wall. The tape then ends abruptly.

## Aftermath

This tape was found near a house in Fife in mid 2022 by an unknown individual who uploaded the tape on their YouTube channel called "Squidward's Suicide Clips", the tape was dirty. However, "Squidward's Suicide Clips" managed to clean the tape after a few attempts.
