Plot

SpongeBob and Patrick are so sad that Sandy has gone to Texas for two whole days they decide to throw her a welcome home party. During their party, SpongeBob and Patrick notice that Sandy is scratching and biting her fur. Sandy explains that upon her return from a science convention in Texas, she unknowingly brings back a flea. Sandy asks SpongeBob to open her briefcase and take out the flea collar. The flea jumps out of her fur and lands on SpongeBob. SpongeBob gets bitten and grabs the collar. The flea then lands on Patrick and bites him, causing Patrick to take the collar. They fight over the collar, then Sandy grabs the collar and wraps it around all three of them. The flea then reproduces, causing the flea collar to be eaten away, rending it useless. Fleas take over Sandy's treedome, and no one can escape the dome. Patrick blames SpongeBob for throwing the party and getting infected, then blames Sandy for bringing the flea. SpongeBob states they may be living in a sea of fleas instead of salt water, thus giving Sandy an idea on how to get rid of the fleas. Sandy kills the fleas by infecting all their space in the dome with saltwater, but all the Bikini Bottom citizens are stuck in the dome at the end.

Quotes

• Patrick: Is Sandy the one I call mom?
• SpongeBob: No, Patrick. That's your mother.

Trivia

• When Squidward was powerwalking, you could hear that the song he was listening to sounded similar to the smooth jazz song from "The Thing" or the Special Stage music of "Sonic 3 & Knuckles".
• When Sandy opened the door, the water in the ocean was all filled up similar to the episode Reef Blower.
• This episode possibly takes place before the episode Squirrel Jokes, because in this episode SpongeBob doesn't know what fleas are.
• In Squirrel Jokes, he makes fun about how squirrels have many fleas.
• In this episode, Sandy has real fur.
• The title is a parody on the play "A Flea in Her Ear"
• When SpongeBob says, "Glad to have you back, Sandy", the outline to Sandy's helmet almost disappears.
• It is shown Squidward despises SpongeBob and Patrick more than the audience thinks when he doesn't rescue them from the fleas.
• When the flea screeches it has the same screech that a Godzilla movie monster: Megaguirus, screeches
• When Patrick climbs on SpongeBob and Sandy to get an apple, he takes a bite, yet his helmet is still on.
• This is the first time Sandy has given fleas. The second will be the special (SpongeBob's Last Stand).
• SpongeBob and Patrick replaced the word Texas to Tejas.
• SpongeBob and Patrick spells Texas without an (x) to Texas to a Tejas (j).
• The bus driver who hates SpongeBob singing is Nat Peterson.
• In this episode, Squidward appeared in two cameos one in his garden then at the road.
• Patrick cannot possibly eat the apple from Sandy's tree since he is wearing a water helmet.
• It is impossible that Sandy's tree grows apples, since in other episodes Sandy says it's an oak tree, therefore it should grow acorns like in other episodes.
• The fleas couldn't destroy the flea collar; it would kill them when they touch it.
• It's impossible for Sandy's Treedome to empty the entire sea, with or without the mass of the Bikini Bottomites.
• When the water enters the Treedome, it should not have filled it all the way, but gone only as high as the top of the door.
