Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost: SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally hit 'Squidward' with a flying shell, thinking they knocked him out. They place what is really a wax replica next to the heater, melting him. When a talcum-covered, real Squidward emerges from the bathroom, the boys think it's a ghost.

- MuscleBob BuffPants:
When SpongeBob realizes that he is extremely weak, he asks Sandy to help him workout at Sandy's house. However, Sandy's methods prove far too intense for him, and he runs back home. At home, SpongeBob mopes that he can't get strong, but then sees an infomercial on "Anchor Arms," which are inflatable muscles. SpongeBob purchases Anchor Arms, and goes to the Goo Lagoon bar to show off his "muscles."
When Sandy sees him, she decides to enroll the both of them in the Anchor Toss Competition, where each contestant must throw an anchor the farthest they can. SpongeBob realizes that this would expose that his "muscles" are fake and despite trying to tell Sandy not to enroll him, she does anyway.
At the competition, every contestant heaves their anchors the farthest (including Sandy, whose anchor is in the lead), but SpongeBob, with his fake muscles, cannot even lift his anchor. He inflates his "Anchor Arms" to strengthen himself, but instead they explode, revealing him as a fraud. The fans, who witnesses this, cheers for Sandy instead of him. Sandy, angry and disappointed, sends SpongeBob to her treedome.
The next scene shows SpongeBob changing TV channels with a remote in Sandy's treedome as to get stronger, which he finds exhausting as his arm pops off.
Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost:
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.
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."
