He follows Dougal's advice to sleep on it; but half-way through the night, this happens...

229* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E20SquidOnStrikeSandySpongeBobAndTheWorm Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm]]", Sandy, against an increasingly worried Spongebob's wishes, goes off to fight the titular Alaskan Bull Worm without backup in revenge for eating her tail (among other various chunks of Bikini Bottom). When she finally thinks she's found the Worm, she attacks it and ties it in a knot, ignoring Spongebob's protests until the deed is done...at which point Spongebob informs her that ''wasn't'' the Worm, but it's ''tongue''...and the "cave" Sandy found it in [[ThatsNoMoon is the Worm itself.]] For Sandy's part, the realization of what Spongebob pointed out hits her early on, but [[ExplainExplainOhCrap it takes her saying it out loud]] before it finally settles in for her what's going on.
230--> '''Sandy:''' ''[[DissonantSerenity Ohhhhhhhhhh.]]'' This is his tongue...and the whole cave...is the..worm. [''{{Beat}}''] '''''RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!'''''
