Desperate, he stomps on the ground in frustration and crashes through the floor and back into the time machine. He frantically tries and fails to escape (repeatedly coming back to the same spot where he started). Squidward is glad to have found a place where he can be alone, but hearing several disembodied voices repeating the word "alone," prove too much for him to bear. Barely making it back to the time machine, Squidward frantically jams the lever up and down and accidentally snaps it off, sending the machine hurtling through time and space before arriving in a world of emptiness. However, the wailing of the clarinet aggravates the primitives and they chase him down. Amazed by Squidward's demonstration of jellyfishing, the primitives take the nets in earnest. Squidward has them tear pieces off their loincloths and proceeds to fashion jellyfish nets for them. Taking his chance to get away, Squidward tries to play once more but is constantly interrupted by the screams of the primitives, who are zapping themselves with the jellyfish.

The two remain curious about Squidward, but are soon distracted by a jellyfish, which they are frightened of. Squidward hopes that he can finally play his clarinet in peace, but he soon runs into a primitive sponge and starfish. The time machine arrives in the primordial sea. Squidward decides that he will travel to a time before SpongeBob has born, simply referred to as "the past." Squidward is shocked to discover that he is in the future and begs for a way to get back to his own time, so SpongeTron directs him to a time machine. SpongeTron, a robotic descendant of SpongeBob, sees the frozen cephalopod and thaws him out. The door's rusted hinges give way and Squidward falls to the floor. Squidward tries to exit the freezer but finds that the door is locked he assures himself that someone will find him soon enough.Ģ,000 years later, Squidward is still stuck in the freezer, frozen in a block of ice. When SpongeBob and Patrick cannot find him, they assume he is already at Jellyfish Fields and leave. He runs to the kitchen and hides in the storage freezer. It is indeed deserted, but SpongeBob and Patrick soon arrive calling for Squidward. Squidward tells them to wait for him, closes the door, then sneaks out the back and heads for the Krusty Krab. Squidward asks SpongeBob why he is not at work, to which SpongeBob replies that the Krusty Krab is closed on Sundays. When he refuses to come out, Patrick realizes he doesn't want to play with them, but SpongeBob believes it is because he is still preparing to play with them and repeatedly asks him if he is ready. SpongeBob asks Squidward if he'd like to go jellyfishing, taking Squidward's squeals of protest as a "yes." After dislodging the clarinet from his throat, Squidward finds SpongeBob and Patrick waiting for him. However, SpongeBob's alarm clock goes off at the same time, jamming Squidward's clarinet in his throat.
