* SpiritualAntithesis: In a sense, this is an inverted sequel to the episode [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E18TexasWalkingSmall Texas]]. Instead of pining for her home, and singing a sad song about it, Sandy doesn't want to leave Bikini Bottom and her sad song is about how she'll miss her new home and her friends. [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick try to stop her leaving, not by throwing a Texas-themed party, but by trying to impress her bosses with an invention.
