Synopsis
The episode begins as Squidward happily hums to himself while gleefully tossing out newspapers to his customers. Everybody seems to love the cephalopod, with even a neighborhood guard worm approaching him and surprisingly acting extremely friendly. All seems to be well, until he encounters Cecil Star, who snatches a paper without paying money and trips him up so much to the point where his limbs fall apart. Template:Section-expand

Trivia
General
- This episode was originally going to be titled "Payback's a Squid."
- Similar to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Moving Bubble Bass," the original title was most likely changed due to containing an innuendo.
- This episode was originally scheduled to premiere on Friday, November 11, 2022 in the United States at 7:00 PM,[2][3] but it instead briefly got replaced with the premiere of the Monster High episode "Witch Hitch"[4] before being replaced again with the premiere of the 2016 Illumination Studios movie The Secret Life of Pets.[5][6] The episode was then postponed for a second time, originally being scheduled to premiere on Friday, February 17, 2023 in the United States at 7:00 PM, but it was replaced again with the premiere of "Host-a-Palooza."[2][7]
- This segment establishes that Granny Tentacles and GrandPat are in a relationship, quietly telling their relatives (Squidward and Cecil) that they are dating while planning warfare against each other.
- The newspaper comic strip that Squidina reads at the end of the episode is nearly identical to the near-opening of it.
- The episode's writer, Doug Lawrence, is listed as the author of the comic strip Mr. Star and the Paper Boy under his Mr. Lawrence name.
Episode references
- Squidward saying "Ya-ta-ta-ta" references the episodes "Who R Zoo?" and "Under the Small Top," where Squidward does the exact same singing while going outside and making cereal, respectively.
- Walls identical to the ones in the SpongeBob segment "Wallhalla" can be seen when Cecil uses them to hide from Squidward and Granny Tentacles.
