Pearl's origin episode
An untitled special episode about Pearl's origin and the identity of her mother, Mrs. Krabs, was written at one point. The details of the pitch for the episode are unknown, aside from that Pearl was intended to be a foundling, indicating that Mr. Krabs found her somewhere. An outline was made, but before the episode got produced, Stephen Hillenburg vetoed the episode; one of his main rules for the show was to never reveal Pearl's mother.
On June 3, 2015, Vincent Waller said on Twitter: "We tried [to make the episode], but the story idea was nixed by Steve. He liked to keep it a mystery."
On July 16, 2015, he elaborated: "Do you mean the truth of her origin? An outline was written once, but it was set aside. Never approved."[1] When a fan suggested possible origins, he said: "You're not the first to try, including writing staff. Steve says NO to any and all explanations [of] Pearl's origin stories."
On December 30, 2016, he confirmed that the episode would never be made.
