024a - Dying for Pie

At the Krusty Krab, it is Employee Brotherhood Day. Squidward does not know that on Employee Brotherhood Day, all employees must exchange gifts that they made themselves, and SpongeBob then gives Squidward a sweater made out of his eyelashes. When Squidward scoffs at his heartfelt gift, SpongeBob begins to cry copiously, eventually handing Squidward a sweater made from his own tears.

Squidward wishes he could buy a gift instead of make one, and sees a group of pirates outside with a sack of pies. He goes outside and the pirates say that they are just pie shaped bombs, but after Squidward offers to buy one, one of the pirates says they were kidding, and Squidward buys a pie for $25. He lies to Mr. Krabs, saying that he made it. Mr. Krabs says he has to inspect it, and eat a bit to see that it is not horrible. He breaks a tiny bit off the crust and says, "This would go great with some milk!" When he trips over and the bit of the pie explodes and wrecks the back of the Krusty Krab, Squidward and Mr. Krabs are blown away. When they arrive at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob acts as if he ate the pie, but it is unknown if he even ate anything. Mr. Krabs tells Squidward that the pie would explode around sunset when it reached SpongeBob's lower intestine, so Squidward decides to make SpongeBob's remaining hours fun. After being asked what the most fun things he likes to do are, SpongeBob presents a list of the most fun things he likes to do.

The last activity is watching the sunset together. After remembering SpongeBob explodes at sunset, Squidward builds a brick wall between them and tries to hide his worry. Spongebob isn't much help when he mentions that if he were to explode due to the carelessness of a friend, this sunset would be what he would want to see. At the very moment the sun goes down, Squidward hears an explosion and assumes the worst. There is another explosion, which knocks the wall down, crushing Squidward. Squidward pulls himself out from underneath the wall, and, to his confusion, finds that SpongeBob is still alive. Squidward yells in bewilderment that SpongeBob is supposed to explode after eating the pie. SpongeBob himself is confused by this, but then after being reminded which pie the octopus was "babbling" about, says "Oh, you mean this pie!" He takes the explosive pie out of his pocket and says that he was saving it for them to share. He prepares to eat it even though Squidward just said it was a bomb. When he trips over, the bomb hits Squidward in his face and goes off, demolishing all of Bikini Bottom in a nuclear explosion. Squidward miraculously survives, uttering a very plain "Ow".
