Pearl Krabs stands at the edge of the Krusty Krab, staring at the empty building. Her dad's gone. There's no funeral. No investigation. No justice.
She walks into the police station and slams her fist down.
Pearl:
"So you're telling me the killer's out there… and you're just letting Plankton walk free?!"
Officer Nancy (shrugging):
"He's, like… two inches tall. He couldn't have ripped someone apart like that."
Officer Carl:
"Yeah. That body was destroyed. That was big meat damage, not evil-tiny-dude damage."
Pearl (furious):
"You lazy fucks! He's still dead! And NO ONE CARES!"
She storms out.
Act 1: Pearl Investigates
Pearl starts her own investigation. She interviews Larry, Sandy, Patrick, and even Karen at the Chum Bucket.
Everyone acts weird. Nervous. Nobody's really comfortable saying Plankton did it—because deep down, they all know he didn't.
She eventually finds a photo in the Krusty Krab office: it's slightly blood-stained. But in the reflection of a window… someone's yellow. Square. Watching.
Pearl (whispering):
"SpongeBob…?"
Act 2: Basement Horror Escalates
Cut to SpongeBob's basement.
Squidward is now a mangled mockery of his former self.
He has:
Zero legs
One remaining arm
And now… a freshly constructed, surgically implanted vagina
SpongeBob (hands behind his back, pacing):
"There. That's better. That's... beautiful."
He walks to the corner of the room where a massive water tank hums. Inside, all the parts he's cut off—legs, tentacles, even a half-ripped eyeball—float in greenish fluid.
SpongeBob (to himself):
"In case I need to reattach them. You never know. The experiment must remain… flexible."
He places a metal tag on the tank:
"Property of Subject: Tentacles, V1"
Squidward gurgles. He's conscious. He's aware. And he's broken.
Act 3: The Walls Closing In
Pearl shows up at SpongeBob's pineapple house.
Pearl (fake cheerful):
"Hey, SpongeBob! Just came to say hi! You doing okay?"
SpongeBob (smiling wide, voice calm):
"Oh Pearl, I'm doing just fine. Life goes on, right?"
Pearl:
"You sure? You don't… miss Mr. Krabs?"
SpongeBob (pauses, then fake-sobs):
"Of course I do! sniff I cry every day!"
Cut to his hands. They're behind his back. Tightly clenched. Covered in blood.
Pearl glances down and sees a small spot of red on the floor, near a hidden trapdoor.
Pearl (softly):
"What's that?"
SpongeBob (voice dead serious):
"Jam."
They both stare at each other for a beat.
Pearl leaves. But now she's sure.
Final Scene:
SpongeBob returns to the basement.
He leans down next to Squidward, whispering.
SpongeBob:
"They're starting to look too close. But that's okay."
He opens a notebook titled:
"Next Subject Candidates"
Names: Pearl, Sandy, Patrick…
SpongeBob (soft smile):
"Time to expand the collection."
