Characters

Synopsis

In the beginning of the episode, Patrick is outside running a lemonade stand, yelling "Lemonade!" so he can attract some customers. Squidward comes outside to find Patrick with no customers, because his jugs are just water. Squidward decides to give Patrick old, rotten lemons, which make his eye red, and also cause his first customer to get sick. Eventually, Patrick decides to replace the lemons with the contents of a toy firetruck, however SpongeBob joins in with Patrick and yells in a megaphone, scaring Squidward and spraying ink out of his nose. Patrick finds this liquid and SpongeBob decides to drink it. SpongeBob gets sick at first but eventually finds it delicious. As customers starts to line up for black lemonade, Patrick has to get more ink.

"May I borrow a cup of squid squeezings?"

"May I borrow a cup of squid squeezings?"

Squidward doesn't want to give anymore ink to Patrick, so Patrick resorts to scaring Squidward, including revealing his inner organs and letting a sea spider named Mildred enter Squidward's house. Squidward sprays a lot of ink out of his nose and Patrick gives the black lemonade to the stand.

Squidward, now paranoid, thinks about what could possibly happen to him next, and therefore starts to act crazy. Patrick's final plan is to create a haunted area in front of Squidward's house. As Squidward goes into the haunted area, it causes the now paranoid Squidward to spray lots of ink into a few vases and cups. Eventually, he runs out of the haunted zone and finds out that SpongeBob and Patrick were using his ink to sell lemonade the whole time. Squidward starts to get upset at Patrick and SpongeBob, however he comes up with a plan - opening his own black lemonade stand for himself.

Unfortunately, Squidward is unable to make more lemonade, so he chooses to have a customer scare him in order to get lemonade. Don the Whale does, and Squidward sprays ink like crazy over the customers. Eventually the customers find out the "source" and puke in Squidward's house. SpongeBob and Patrick also moved out of the lemonade business to sell cookies. As Squidward eats one of them, SpongeBob and Patrick say they used spider eggs as chips, resulting in Squidward literally screaming out spiders and spraying ink, as the episode ends with the ink becoming black screen.

Production

The episode was confirmed by Vincent Waller on December 31, 2017.[2]

In an interview with Animation World Network on July 8, 2024, Rodger Bumpass called this episode the hardest one he'd ever worked on, as there was a sequence where he had to "1. Be shocked and scream, 2. Violently spray out ink, (nose and mouth sounds), 3. Then scream again and run away." This sequence was repeated over and over, with Bumpass calling the process "exhausting."[3] In a BuzzFeed interview, he reiterated this statement, saying the screams "wrecked his voice for a month or so," but he is still generally happy to do screams for the show.[4]
