9* ContinuitySnarl: [=SpongeBob=] is able to swim in this episode despite previous episodes establishing that he does not know how.

46* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The last time [=SpongeBob=] calls Patrick, he realizes something is wrong forcing him to cut Grandma's party short and head back home.
47* SpecialGuest: Marion Ross returns as Grandma [=SquarePants=].
48* ThrowTheDogABone: Sure Patrick did cause hell for Gary, and [=SpongeBob=] is shocked at all the disasters he saw, but the only good thing about it is Gary is reading a bedtime story for Patrick, which [=SpongeBob=] finds cute.
49* TookALevelInDumbass: Patrick, for the umpteenth time.
50* TyopOnTheCover: The book titled 'Snail Tails', which actually had the correct spelling on [=SpongeBob's=] list of things to do with Gary.
