SpongeBob and Patrick get their new reef blowers and start blowing and sucking things up with them, eventually sucking up Squidward's windows and door. When Squidward demands them to give them back, they shoot them at Squidward's house, destroying it. Squidward tells SpongeBob and Patrick that "This is the final straw. I am going to move so far away that I will be able to brag about it. I would rather tear out my brain stem, carry it to the middle of the nearest four-way intersection, and skip rope with it than go on living where I do now." Just then, his TV falls beside him amidst the rubble of his house, playing an advertisement for "Tentacle Acres", a private community created exclusively for octopi. Squidward moves there, where he finds that the residents all look and act similar to him, even living in houses identical to his, much to his delight, not even eyeing a rock or pineapple in sight. Before Squid can go to sleep, eager to start his new life afresh, SpongeBob and Patrick call Squidward in an attempt to get him to return home, but Squidward knows what they're planning and can even see through their gibberish talking, and he therefore abruptly hangs up on them after saying that there was no possible way he was returning home, being among his own kind.
Squidward begins his first day at Tentacle Acres by going biking, and finds that all the other squids are riding their bikes as well. He then goes grocery shopping, and is impressed by the local food market, which even carries "canned bread". He then sees an "Interpretive Dance Academy", where he dances in a group with others who share his "style" of dancing. At the end of the day, he sees a clarinet-playing trio performing in the park, which he joins. On Squid's second day at Tentacle Acres, he rinses-lathers-and-repeats the process he did on the first day around. However, as the days succeed another, Squidward keeps preforming the same routine from morning (starting from bike riding to canned bread purchases to the dance academy lessons to the clarinet trio) to evening. Again and again, Squidward keeps repeating the same process, and because there's nothing new about it, the smile he once had starts to lose its shape and Squid starts to get to used to doing what he does every day. As days continue, Squidward is starting to look horribly bored with his ideal life and eventually, that boredom leads to depression. Finally, Squidward realizes one day, while playing with the trio, that his dream life wasn't everything he had hoped it to be, and Squidward stops playing before he finishes. Squidward felt much worse off than he did when he left SpongeBob and Patrick.
While sitting on a park bench, lamenting this, Squidward hears a reef blower, hoping SpongeBob is there, but is crushed when Squid finds out that was not to be (it seems that at this point, Squidward was hoping to see someone not of his species, even if it had to be the person he hated). The squid then leaves the reef blower unattended and Squidward starts playing with it in the same manner that SpongeBob and Patrick did in the beginning of the episode, irritating and scaring his neighbors out of their wits in the process. They eventually become fed up with his behavior, and form an angry mob and chase him as they are now on the warpath against Squidward. Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick come to Tentacle Acres to apologize to Squidward in hopes that he will move back as their neighbor. The surveillance guards tell them that their kind isn't welcome here and refuse to open the gate for them. However, Patrick's bad breath travels through the intercom into the room where the guards are, knocking them out and causing them to fall over onto the button that opens the gate. They enter the village, and see Squidward cornered by the angry mob, who show him "A well thought out and organized list of complaints" and are demanding him to leave and Squidward agrees. Spongebob and Patrick are unable to identify him among the crowd of near-identical squids, with SpongeBob saying that "Any one of these Squidwards could be the real Squidward!". Squidward then uses the reef blower to launch himself out of the village, and SpongeBob says "Well, we know one thing: it sure isn't that guy!"
Squidward: (SpongeBob and Patrick have just trashed his house) SpongeBob, this is the final straw! I am going to move so far away that I am going to be able to brag about it. I would- Ow! (gets hit by piece of debris) I would rather tear out my brainstem, walk out into the middle of the nearest 4-way intersection and skip rope with it than go on living where I do now!
(Squidward's T.V. falls out from the sky. It lands by Squidward and turns to a channel.)
TV announcer (Squid): Hi there! Is this the final straw? Do you want to move so far away that you can brag about it? Would you rather tear out your brainstem, walk out into the middle of the nearest 3-way...
Squidward: 4-Way!!
TV Announcer: ...4-way intersection and skip rope with it than continue living where you do now? Then move to...(The TV turns to static)
Patrick : (holding remote control) I hate this channel!
Squidward: No! No! (takes remote and changes the channel back)
TV Announcer: .....Tentacle Acres! Where happiness is just a suction cup away.
Squidward: ...Heaven at last! (bumps into a Tentacle Acres resident).
Resident: I've seen more alert people at a retirement home!
Squidward: Oh! Which way to the nearest "Living Without a Brain" seminar?! Don't be late!!
Resident: I've heard better comebacks from a turkey sandwich! Get a life!! (Resident walks away)
Squidward: This place is better than I expected!
SpongeBob: (Squidward runs past) That looked like Squidward! (Mob runs past) That looked like Squidward also, in angry mob form!
Patrick: (To fire hydrant) Are you Squidward? That's okay, take your time.
SpongeBob: Any of these Squidwards could be the real Squidward, Patrick!
(shows Squidward using the leaf blower as a rocket to shoot out of Tentacle Acres)
Spongebob: (smiles and points at the now-distant Squidward): Well, we know one thing: it sure isn't that guy!
Trivia/Goofs
This is the ninth episode to feature flowers in the title card.
On the back of the SpongeBob DVD "Tide And Seek", this episode is listed as "Squidsville".
Based on the montage which shows Squidward doing the same things every day and gradually becoming tired of it, Squidward spent a total of fourteen days, two weeks, or one fortnight at Tentacle Acres.
Squidward parks his bike in front of the "Full of Health" store, but when he exits the store, it is gone.
SpongeBob and Patrick sucked in four pieces of Squidward's house, but when they shoot them back out, six pieces are shown flying through the air.
Two of the residents that have minor speaking roles voices's are identical to that of Squilliam Fancyson

This is the second episode to feature a reef blower, the first being Reef Blower.
At first day at the Tentacle Acres when Squidward joins the clarinet trio, when the camera zooms out, Squidward's shirt becomes white for a moment.
This's the first time a main character moves from Bikini Bottom to another place, the second was Gary in Have You Seen This Snail?, and the third/last was SpongeBob in What Ever Happened To SpongeBob?
The part where Squidward was watching the commercial and Patrick changed it became a popular phenomenon on YouTube called "Patrick hates *random show*" This is where a random show is placed onto the TV that Squidward was watching and Patrick changes it saying "I hate this channel" and the video ends. An example of the show that is placed on the TV is the scene from the "Rugrats" episode "Angelica Breaks Her Leg", where Stu is making chocolate pudding for Angelica at 4:00 a.m., another YouTube phenomenon.
From a certain angle, there are no numbers on the doors of squidward's neighbors. From other angles, there are numbers on the doors.
Goof: When Squidward is at the IDA, note the person next to him with a unibrow. It changes from orange to yellow. Then during the montage orange is the colour. All of the squids are the same in many ways. they all have a nasaly laugh and play the clarinet. However, in "Cephlopod Lodge", they are many different shapes, colors, and sizes.
When Squidward went into the dance center two squids over there was one that looked like hime except no headband.
After Squidward says, "Yeah! It's even better in a group!" and before he says, "This town is perfect.", a bubble transition is shown. For a brief second you can see "Rough Draft Korea" at the bottom of the screen. This error was done by the animation crew in Korea, where they color the episode.
