* BitterSweetEnding: While Mrs. Puff is successful in stopping [=SpongeBob=] from destroying the city, she ends up getting arrested for ironically causing so much damage. On the bright side, [=SpongeBob=] is not too upset about having to give up his license, is more than willing to continue learning from her, and even tells her that she'll have an early parole, provided she gives free driving lessons.

* EasilyForgiven: At the end of the episode, [=SpongeBob=] doesn’t seem to be angry at Mrs. Puff for attempting to steal his boat & crashing it.
** Granted, she IS doing time in prison as a result for her actions, so it's not like she got off scot-free.
