Synopsis

The episode begins with SpongeBob walking barefoot with Patrick, out on a nature walk into the forest. SpongeBob then decides to go explore a nearby ice cave. Inside the cave, Patrick gets his tongue stuck on the ice. SpongeBob uses hot chocolate to melt the ice, and Patrick is freed. However, the hot chocolate melts all the ice and Spongy Spongy emerges out of it. He then follows SpongeBob, fascinated by the squeak of his shoes. He then hides in SpongeBob's bag for the rest of his trip.

SpongeBob then arrives back home and leaves Patrick next to his rock with his tongue tied. SpongeBob then goes home to find Gary waiting for him. He leaves the have bag on a peg and Spongy Spongy jumps out. He is curious about Gary and then follows SpongeBob around his house and into the bathroom in which he jumps into the sink. SpongeBob mistakes the Cave sponge for a mirror of himself. SpongeBob goes to a special room in which he gets dressed and Spongy follows. Spongy also gets dressed like SpongeBob by the machine and the shoes don't seem to fit him. He follows SpongeBob out of his Hous and into the streets of Bikini Bottom.

Trivia

Template:Trivia

Despite being said the Primitive Sponge was returning, a new cave sponge appeared instead.
This episode will premiere in Turkey and Iberia on September 25, 2017 along with "The Clam Whisperer" which is only two days after the US airdate.
The fourth wall is broken twice in this episode. The first was at the end when Spongy Spongy hits the screen with his club, causing it to crack. The second was when Perch Perkins said: "The life in Bikini Bottom returns to normal, if only for this episode."
This is the fourth time SpongeBob goes to jail. The first was in "Life of Crime," the second was in "Party Pooper Pants," and the third was in "Driven to Tears."
This episode could possibly take place before "Stanley S. SquarePants" as Mr. Krabs states that nobody else looks like SpongeBob, even though in that episode he meets his identical cousin.
