Toward the end of the day, Sandy is dismayed to find that SpongeBob is gone yet again so she deicdes to spend the evening with Squidward. As Squidward makes preparations, he begins experiencing fantasies of himself kissing Sandy and declaring his passion for her. That evening, Squidward loses his self-restraint and attempts to kiss her. Sandy is greatly troubled by this so she forces him out of the room.
