I'm just gonna say that this is one of my favorite season 2 episodes, and it ranks within my top 5. The episode had it all: emotional, dark, cute, funny, heart-warming, you name it. I really like how it shows Squidward crying for SpongeBob because it reveals his true character beyond his grumpy, old self. I loved when SpongeBob and Squidward do all the activities together, and I especially appreciate how adorable was it to have SpongeBob showing off his friend Squidward in a salmon suit. This actually shows depth instead of the one-dimensional beings that we see many times before. Even if SpongeBob wasn't going to die in this episode, the part near the end with Squidward crying is really heartfelt and deep. Of course this episode has its share of funny moments including SpongeBob making a sweater out of his tears, SpongeBob and Squidward doing stuff together (including surgery), SpongeBob and Squidward watching the sunset, and the live action bomb explosion. Simply a fantastic episode with everything that I love. 10/10
