==Synopsis==
Squidward is proud of having just finished his wax sculpture of himself and declares he has "conquered all artistic medium". But then, he is annoyed by SpongeBob and Patrick, who are playing a very loud game. When Squidward goes to take a bath, SpongeBob and Patrick begin to toss around a shell as a Frisbee, but it flies into Squidward's house and hits the wax sculpture. SpongeBob and Patrick think they've injured Squidward, and after several humorous attempts to "resuscitate" him, they believe that Squidward is dead.

Squidward, fresh from his pampered bath, dramatically emerges in a rush of steam from the warm bathroom, wearing talcum powder and a white bathrobe and towel. SpongeBob and Patrick believe they are seeing Squidward's ghost and, hoping to avoid any hauntings or punishments, place themselves as Squidward's willing servants. Squidward gleefully takes advantage of the situation, having them serve and pamper him, do chores, and simply entertain him. [[File:220px-Ariana Grande by David Shankbone.jpg|thumb]]

Eventually, SpongeBob and Patrick, while entering a "messy" room, come across a comic book inspired by the story of the Flying Dutchman (who haunted the seas because his body was used as a window display in a clothing store and was never put to rest), and decide that since Squidward is a vengeful spirit, SpongeBob and Patrick think they need to have Squidward to be put to rest. SpongeBob and Patrick try to get Squidward to go into a casket, but he refuses. SpongeBob and Patrick then try to give him a proper burial as well as a funeral. Squidward eventually admits his charade, but SpongeBob and Patrick believe that Squidward is simply in denial about his death. SpongeBob blows a giant bubble that engulfs Squidward and sends him floating up to "the great beyond".

Squidward getting mad.

Synopsis

Squidward is proud of having just finished his wax sculpture of himself and declares he has "conquered all artistic medium." But then, he is annoyed by SpongeBob and Patrick, who are playing a very loud game. When Squidward goes to take a bath, SpongeBob and Patrick begin to toss around a shell as a Frisbee, but it flies into Squidward's house and hits the wax sculpture. SpongeBob and Patrick think they've injured Squidward, and after several humorous attempts to "resuscitate" him, they believe that Squidward is dead.

Squidward after his shower.

Squidward, fresh from his pampered bath, dramatically emerges in a rush of steam from the warm bathroom, wearing talcum powder and a white bathrobe and towel. SpongeBob and Patrick believe they are seeing Squidward's "ghost" and, hoping to avoid any hauntings or punishments, place themselves as Squidward's willing servants. Squidward gleefully takes advantage of the situation, having them serve and pamper him, do chores, and simply entertain him.

Eventually, SpongeBob and Patrick, while entering a "messy" room, come across a comic book inspired by the story of the Flying Dutchman (who haunted the seas because his body was used as a window display in a clothing store and was never put to rest), and decide that since Squidward is a vengeful spirit, SpongeBob and Patrick think they need to have Squidward to be put to rest. SpongeBob and Patrick try to get Squidward to go into a casket, but he refuses. SpongeBob and Patrick then try to give him a proper burial as well as a funeral. Squidward eventually admits his charade, but SpongeBob and Patrick believe that Squidward is simply in denial about his death. SpongeBob blows a giant bubble that engulfs Squidward and sends him floating up to "the great beyond."
