[edit] Plot

During the night, something lurking in the darkness eats everything in the town, and is identified as an Alaskan Bull Worm. At the Krusty Krab, citiens share their ideas.

Patrick suggests moving the town to another location, while Sandy decides to fight the monster. She attempts to, but ends up defeating the worm's tongue instead of the actual worm itself.

SpongeBob and Sandy get chased by the worm, and Sandy helps herself and SpongeBob on top of the worm. They trick it into running off a cliff, and think they saved the town.

They head off to tell all of the citizens of Bikini Bottom. But sadly, the citizens of Bikini Bottom had decided to go with Patrick's idea to push Bikini Bottom somewhere else. The defeated worm lands right on the city, destroying it.

[edit] Quotes

Spongebob: I saw it! It was big! It was all wiggly! And it ate everything!

Patrick: That's horrible! (pours the contents of a whole tray of food into his mouth)

Spongebob: It was an ALASKAN BULL WORM!!!!!!!

Fish: How can we protect ourselves?

Mr. Krabs: I've got it......... let's all buy a Krabby Patty!

Crowd boos and throws things at him.

Fish: We should lock our doors!

Senior Fish: We should call my nephew!

Fish dressed like a knight: We should dig a moat! (puts up a spade)

Patrick: We should take Bikini Bottom and push (swings his arms) it somewhere else!

The crowd goes silent and stares at Patrick.

Squidward: That idea may just be crazy enough... to get us all killed!!

Everyone panics.

Spongebob: Sandy, that's not the worm, that's his tongue!

Sandy: Oh, this is the tongue and the whole thing is the worm.... RUN FOR IT!!!

Sandy: (While being chased by the worm) Spongebob, you still got that string and paper clip?

Spongebob: I'm way ahead of you. (Takes them out and prepares them) It's a necklace! S for Sandy, or S for Spongebob. That way they can identify our bodies.

The Worm: (after crashing through Bikini Bottom) OUCH!

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

The mask worn by SpongeBob was also seen in Karate Choppers.
There are two parodies of the movie Jaws: The first is when Mr. Krabs says,"No one's brave enough to take on an Alaskan Bull Worm!", and an old fish with a claw for a hand scratches on of the windows in the Krusty Krab, making the sound Quint makes when scratching the chalkboard. The second is when Sandy exclaims, "I'll catch 'yer worm for ya!", substituting the great white shark with the worm.
Sandy sees a sign which reads "worm" and exclaims "Worm sign!" This is a reference to the disturbance in the sand created by a sandworm in Dune.
The Alaskan Bull Worm is small enough for it to go through the city and to eat SpongeBob's house at the beginning of the episode. But when it fell off the cliff, it was big enough to crush all of Bikini Bottom.
This episode:
- Closes season 2.
- Also parodies the movie Tremors.
- Shows captions without needing them.
