The episode begins with a tired SpongeBob and Squidward exiting the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs asks them their plans for the weekend. SpongeBob says he is polishing Gary's shell, and Squidward says he has a dance performance. Mr. Krabs invites them to Goo Lagoon to ride on a yacht instead, to which both accept. The next day, SpongeBob and Squidward arrive at Goo Lagoon, and Squidward questions where the yacht is. Krabs tells them that the yacht has to be built first, saying that SpongeBob and Squidward will build it, and he will "supervise," really taking a nap.

Squidward's cleaned face.

After SpongeBob wipes Squidward's face clean, he looks somewhat similar to his baby self from "Squid Baby."
- SpongeBob also wipes his own face clean to a nice-looking effect in another episode from this season, "There Will Be Grease."
Two kids are seen playing in the orca kid's mouth, like they did in "SpongeGuard on Duty." The kids were Incidental 103 and Incidental 150 in "SpongeGuard on Duty" while in this episode the kids were Incidental 103 and Incidental 153.
Squidward's vacation outfit in this episode is based on the one he wears at the end of "Plane to Sea."
