Plot

SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy are making sandcastles at Goo Lagoon when Sandy gets homesick. She walks off, while SpongeBob tries to cheer her up. Misinterpreting what Sandy means by feeling homesick, SpongeBob and Patrick blindfold her and take her to her tree dome, but Sandy knows this is not her real home.

SpongeBob and Patrick realize that Sandy's from Texas, and decide to bring some Texas to Bikini Bottom to cheer up Sandy. Sandy wants to leave Bikini Bottom and go back to Texas, but SpongeBob and Patrick have a surprise for her at the Krusty Krab. It turns out to be a trap by the fishermen, who want Sandy. They tie her up and duct tape her. Luckily, SpongeBon and Patrick spree cue her, and they fall in the Krusty Krsb, Where the party shouts "Howdy ya’ll!", and Sandy decides that she's been home all along. But then, Patrick shouts "Yeah, who needs dumb old Texas?" Sandy gets angry once again, and Patrick asks "Should I start running now?"

Cultural References

The Texas song is based on Hank Williams, Sr.'s number one hit, "Long Gone Lonesome Blues".
The title card featured the Texan flag.

Trivia/Goofs

Junior Brown guest stars.
When Sandy is about to leave, SpongeBob is talking fast. One of the things he said is her having "one last Krabby Patty down at the Krusty Krab". He pronounces Krabby Patty as "Coddy Batty", especially in closed captions.
There was talk of banning this episode from public viewing. While pestering Sandy about Texas, SpongeBob thrusts his buttocks while saying "Tex-as!" while putting emphasis on the last syllable, making it sound like @$$.
SpongeBob mistakenly presented the things Sandy misses from Texas, square dancing (Flats the Flounder was holding a box), pecan pies (peas-in-a-can pies what Pearl and her friends are showing to), and barbeques (barbed q's which Squidward was holding).
Aside from Hall Monitor, the SBSP logo is blank in this episode.
