[[File:Nickelodeon UK email - June 25, 2025.png|250px|right]]
:*In response to an email that I sent to Nickelodeon UK a few days prior, they state that, although "there are no explicit restrictions; however, due to the storyline involving a feud between the Narwhals and the Planktons, scheduling is typically avoided." The email goes on to say: "I'll reach out to Kids Compliance to double check if a note should be added. The next transmission is set for the 23rd of July, so we can still swap it out for another episode if necessary, depending on their feedback."
::*At the time of this email exchange, the schedule published for Nickelodeon did not show an "In the Mood to Feud" airing for the 23rd of July. The schedule for Nicktoons/NickSpongeBob on that date was published a day later, without "In the Mood to Feud."<ref name = "nickspongebob230725">https://epg.vimn.com/nicktoons_uk/xmltvlegal/uk/20250723.xml</ref>
*1st July 2025 - A schedule for Nickelodeon Global is published, with a [[List of episodes with Nick UK sensitivity warnings|sensitivity warning]] for war added to "In the Mood to Feud."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20250711102137/https://epg.vimn.com/nickelodeon_global/xmltvlegal/eng/20250823.xml</ref>
*8th July 2025 - Nickelodeon UK publishes numerous schedule changes:
:*The "In the Mood to Feud" airing for the 28th of July is replaced with "[[Beneath the Bun: Secrets of the Krabby Patty]]."<ref>https://epg.vimn.com/nickelodeon_uk/xmltvlegal/uk/20250728.xml</ref>
:*Some schedules for August are published, with "Beneath the Bun" also scheduled to air on the 3rd of August at 12pm<ref>https://epg.vimn.com/nickelodeon_uk/xmltvlegal/uk/20250803.xml</ref> and the 8th of August at 5pm.<ref>https://epg.vimn.com/nickelodeon_uk/xmltvlegal/uk/20250808.xml</ref> It is possible "In the Mood to Feud" was originally scheduled for these slots.
:*It is also worth noting, the Nicktoons/NickSpongeBob schedule for the 23rd of July, which was published on the 26th of June, also has "Beneath the Bun" scheduled to air at 8pm. It is likely this was supposed to be the "In the Mood to Feud" airing mentioned in the email.<ref name = "nickspongebob230725"/>
