After fifteen seasons, it makes sense that the writers would finally TRY to make a way for Sandy to TRULY live life underwater; and give a logical reason as to why Sandy can't KEEP that quality! When Sandy's paper about scientific life sounds too cold and LIFELESS (especially by POOR Spongebob's standards), Sandy finally decides its time to try to utilize an experimental machine that can transfer the qualities of a fish; namely Fred, to Sandy and vice-versa her qualities of being a squirrel. Even though Sandy has gills, in a surprisingly realistic outcome; due to muscle memory, it takes her a while before she FINALLY breathes through them! For the first time ever, Sandy can truly ENJOY running through jellyfish fields, eating a Krabby Patty, karate chopping, and even swimming! At first, it seems like the ONLY drawback is that without her suit; Sandy is a lot more vulnerable. But soon, Sandy gains more than gills; she gains fish scales, becomes susceptible to being tempted by the HOOKS (and Spongebob is HORRIFIED thanks to being "Taught by Experience"). But soon, Sandy completely LOSES her scientific mind and becomes a savage fish! Thankfully, since Spongebob KNOWS that Sandy made herself into a fish, she MUST have created an antidote just in case! After tricking Sandy into a pet carrier, he quickly gets Sandy into her tree dome bathtub, and pours the antidote into the bath so that Sandy can change back! The only thing they forgot? Fred is now a GREEN squirrel with furry legs! I'd give this episode segment a 9.9 out of 10! Enough said, true believers!
