==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
The episode starts with Squidward making a 'Roast a la Squidward' for a wooden dummy. Suddenly, he realizes he forgot the parsley for it. He kisses his roast, burning his lips.
The episode begins with Squidward making a [[Roast à la Squidward|vegetable version of himself]]. However, he forgot the parsley, so he goes to get some from his backyard. When he tries to take it out, he ends up getting pulled underground by a bunny. Meanwhile, Squidward's meal gets burned due to sitting in the oven for too long. This makes Squidward want to get rid of the bunny.
Squidward goes out to his garden to get the parsley, but cannot pull it up. He gets pulled under the garden, revealing a sea bunny is down there. The sea bunny pulls his French mustache off, causing Squidward to scream in pain. The bunny then puts the hair on his banjo and begins playing [[Puka]] on his banjo.
[[File:Bunny Hunt 024.png|thumb|200px|Squidward's house burns.]]
After failing to attack the bunny, Squidward hides in a large carrot so he can call animal control so they can take the bunny. They come, but SpongeBob prevents them from taking the bunny and decides to raise it himself.
Squidward then falls into a hole dug by the bunny, and the bunny eats the parsley out of his hands, tickles Squidward, and pulls his hat down over his face. Suddenly, Squidward realizes his roast is burning and sprays it with water, putting out the fire. Squidward starts crying over his burnt roast, and the bunny joins in. Squidward almost stabs the bunny with a fork but the bunny shoves the burnt roast into Squidward's mouth.
SpongeBob brings the bunny to his house and tries to feed it. However, since the bunny only wants vegetables, SpongeBob goes to the [[Barg'N-Mart]] to get something. While he is there, the bunny starts looking for food, only to make a mess in SpongeBob's living room. SpongeBob puts hot sauce everywhere to prevent the sea bunny from doing this again, but the bunny eats the hot sauce and causes fires around the room. Thankfully, SpongeBob stops the fires and prevents the bunny from burning anything else.
The bunny then bounces through Squid's garden to eat all of Squidward's vegetables. Squidward then comes out, dressed as a Viking, holding a club and declaring war on all bunnies. In the style of Whack-a-Mole, he tries to hit the bunny, but when the bunny holds up a metal shield, he whacks himself in the face. He claims he'll bury the bunny, but falls into a hole where the bunny proceeds to bury him and water him, causing Squidward's head to grow onto a plant.
Later, SpongeBob tries to have the bunny live in a cage, but he does not want to live in it and hides underneath the wallpaper of the walls. Afterwards, SpongeBob finds Patrick in his couch and asks him to get the bunny out, but he gets stuck in the wallpaper. SpongeBob decides to get a girl bunny from the store for the bunny to fall in love with, and this succeeds.
Patrick arrives and claims it's the ugliest eggplant he's ever seen, but that Squidward wouldn't mind if he had a bite. He is unable to do so, and is flung back to his rock.
When the two sea bunnies go into the laundry basket, they start to multiply. SpongeBob and Patrick chase the bunnies until they end up reaching Squidward's house. The house gets completely flooded by bunnies, until the house itself gets destroyed and the bunnies form a look-alike house out of themselves. The episode ends with Squidward losing his sanity and turning into a bunny as the animal control officer tries to capture him, while one of the bunnies turns into Squidward and plays his clarinet.
The bunny then begins placing vegetables in a basket, but suddenly a giant carrot grows from the ground, causing the bunny to grow large teeth and chase after it. Squidward is actually inside the giant carrot, but ends up falling into the rabbit's trap and getting bitten. He calls animal control to report an infestation. They show up and immediately capture the bunny in a cage, causing Squidward to be mad that they took him so easily.
==Production==
John Trabbic posted two early versions of Fred Osmond's doodles that would take form as SpongeBob's wild "teeth" take on {{W|Tumblr}} on {{Time|November 22}}, {{Time|2016}}, alongside other rough board artist doodles. One of them was in black-and-white,<ref name="bunnyone">[https://www.tumblr.com/brianmoranteart/153536086370/johntrabbiciii-us-storyboard-artists-over-on John Trabbic III on Tumblr - "Us storyboard artists over on..."]</ref> the other was in color.<ref name="bunnytwo">[https://www.tumblr.com/johntrabbiciii/153530720141/more-and-more-spongebob-post-its-this-time-the John Trabbic III on Tumblr - "More and more SpongeBob..."]</ref>
SpongeBob then shows up, handcuffing himself to the cage and saying the bunny has rights and should be let free. The animal control lets him have the bunny, saying it saves him a trip to the incinerator. SpongeBob and the bunny float away on a cloud of happiness. Squidward runs after him, saying to keep the bunny away from his vegetables, but is interrupted by SpongeBob slamming the door in his face.
SpongeBob sees that there are no vegetables in the fridge, but decides to give the bunny [[Gary the Snail|Gary]]'s food. The bunny does not like the food and kicks it back in [[SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob]]'s face. So SpongeBob goes to get groceries from the [[Barg'N-Mart]].
The bunny then begins eating everything in the house and destroying them. SpongeBob returns and sees his house has been destroyed. He begins to put hot sauce on everything to "chew-proof" the house. However, the bunny keeps breathing out fire after licking it, destroying more things in SpongeBob's house. SpongeBob sees the fire and puts it out, but the bunny licks a hot sauce-covered Gary and almost destroys SpongeBob's comics with fire. SpongeBob licks the rest of the hot sauce and dives into the toilet to put out the fire.
SpongeBob then sets up a cage with a water bottle, a trampoline, a "buck-teeth sharpener," and an adding machine for what he calls "multiplying." However, the bunny kicks the cage through the wall, not wanting to be in the cage. Now angry, the bunny digs his way into the walls. While searching for his jellyfishing net, SpongeBob finds Patrick who has fallen through the couch cushions. Claiming he has a solution for SpongeBob's bunny problem, Patrick follows the bunny into the walls. They both end up destroying things.
SpongeBob goes to the pet store and gets another bunny to draw the first bunny out of hiding. The female bunny exits the cage and draws the attention of the male bunny. They both fall in love and start dancing.
The episode was confirmed by [[Vincent Waller]] on {{Time|July 4}}, {{Time|2017}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/vincentwaller72/status/882001323809308673 Vincent Waller on Twitter - "It is, and another beauty."]</ref>
SpongeBob takes Patrick from the wall and the bunnies hop into a laundry basket. Soon, several dozen bunnies hop out of the basket. All hungry, they all race through SpongeBob's walls, so SpongeBob and Patrick follow them. They all exit the house and go under the road into Squidward's garden.

Squidward is seen having a funeral for his garden, but the bunny tries to eat his last carrot. The rest of the bunnies pop up and so do SpongeBob and Patrick. Not realizing it's SpongeBob and Patrick, Squidward runs inside and the bunnies dig through his walls too. Another call to animal control and the bunnies begin flooding Squidward's house.

Eventually, Squidward breaks his house in half, revealing that the bunnies have taken the shape of the house. Squidward hits himself on the head with a mallet, now thinking he's a bunny. The animal control officer puts him in a straitjacket and chases after the "bunny Squidward." The first bunny then pretends to be Squidward and plays a song on the clarinet.
