Nice job saving that amusement park, guys.

That runaway Ferris wheel was no match for our telekinesis.

And now, thanks to us, kids can keep having fun

and buying overpriced souvenir drink cups.

[chuckles]

You know, I had a way of stopping that thing

without crushing that snow cone stand.

Eh, nobody really likes snow cones anyway.

They're like ice cream cones that gave up.

Yeah. Now if it were a churro stand,

totally different story.

It'd just be nice if you listened to my ideas,

but even on missions,

you just treat me like your little sister.

Says the girl who spent two hours playing

"Noodle-Pa-Doodle" to win a giant teddy bear?

You leave Beary Potter out of this!

Going forward, we'll listen to your ideas more.

-Right, Max? -Sure. Yeah.

Chloe's ideas can't possibly stink as much as yours.

My ideas do not stink.

But this house does.

Why does it smell like swamp?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stand down. I'm a superhero!

You're a superhero?

My name's High Tide.

So, High Tide was the former protector of Secret Shores.

After I found out he was the superhero

who used to live in this house, I read his autobiography

Tide and Prejudice.

Can't you get through a single day

without talking about books?

Can't you get through one day without massaging your swoosh?

Spicy Tuna! I missed that outdoor shower.

I'd stay in there all day

if I didn't clog the drain with seaweed.

By the way, I clogged the drain with seaweed.

Wow, you look like a different person.

Yet you still smell like an octopus armpit.

That's my natural aroma.

A hearty stench earned

protecting Secret Shores

from the forces of aquatic evil.

-[inhales] -[chuckles]

Sure is good to be back.

It's good to have you back.

A lot has happened while you were gone.

People finally realized

flip-flops and sandals are the same thing?

Okay, not that much.

But while you were away,

we were assigned this house by the Hero League.

Ohh! That explains the massive amounts

of hair product in the shower.

Guilty! [chuckles]

So, High Tide, where exactly were you all this time?

I was giving chase to a schooner of internet pirates

when I was swallowed by a giant clam

and became heroically trapped in his belly.

How is being trapped in a giant clam's belly heroic?

Well, sometimes the most heroic thing you can do

is give up, Guppy.

-I don't think-- -It was my bravest surrender.

I never thought I'd see another human again.

For so long it was just me and Pearly.

Pearly?

Whoa, that thing must be worth a fortune! I get half, right?

Sell Pearly? Never.

Well, that's normal.

-Can I talk to you? -Can it wait?

I really wanna ask High Tide some of his battle stories.

I'm a fan of your book.

-Oh, so you're a Tidey? -[chuckles]

Enough book talk. I wanna check out that weapon.

Oh! My sonic harpoon!

A powerful weapon for a powerful hero.

I am quite powerful. Thanks for noticing.

No! Beary Potter!

Sorry, Chloe.

Put that down.

Right away, sir.

I'm starving. I need to stuff some food down my blowhole.

I really hope he's talking about his mouth.

Here, let me show you the kitchen.

Please! I know that galley well.

Come on, Pearly.

To the secret fish stick freezer.

Guys. Can we talk about what's going on here now?

Like the fact that we have a secret fish stick freezer?

Best day ever!

No. High Tide. I have a bad feeling about him.

I think we should call President Kickbutt.

Why? Hasn't the poor guy been through enough?

He just needs to eat and rest up and he'll be on his way.

Right. As soon as he lets me blow some more stuff up

with his sonic harpoon! [chuckles]

Nobody likes this lamp, right?

What happened to listening to my ideas?

We did listen, Chloe.

We're just choosing to go a different direction.

One that involves me blowing up lamps.

And me learning from him.

Don't ruin this.

♪upbeat musical transition *

[both chanting] Free the water! Free the water!

Thanks for helping me with my petition, Jinx.

These people do not understand why we're freeing the water.

Tell me about it.

No, seriously, can you tell me about it?

I have no idea what we're doing.

With this petition, water will no longer be trapped

in bottles, pipes, or cheesy collectible snow globes.

And just so we're clear,

are we also against showers, water parks, and toilets?

You forgot wishing wells!

That poor water wishes to be free.

Maisy! Sign our petition and help make sure

water never has to be seen inside of a garden hose again.

I'm always down to fight for what's right.

[chuckles]

Yes! One signature down.

Thank you, Anita Bath.

[chuckles] Maisy's hilarious.

She once turned in a math test as Ivana Pass.

[chuckles] She failed.

[groans] This isn't working.

It's like nobody cares

that ice cubes are tiny water prisons.

Look, I didn't wanna say anything,

but maybe it's because--

We need to stage a massive protest

that people won't be able to ignore.

That's exactly what I was going to say!

Come on, Jinx. Unless you have to use the bathroom first.

-Ooh, actually I-- -Ha! I'm kidding.

You know we hate toilets.

♪upbeat musical transition

-Go, High Tide! Come on! -Come on! One more! You got it!

-You got it! Come on! -One more! One more fish stick!

-Yeah, here we go! -[gulps]

-[Phoebe] Woo! -Woo! [laughs]

Wow, fish sticks!

I didn't think it was possible.

Ah, the key is to eat them while they're still frozen.

They slide right down the gullet.

See, we're learning things from him.

Like what? How to stuff iced fish down your blowhole?

That was epic, man.

Now, how about we celebrate

by blowing some stuff up with your harpoon? [chuckles]

Oh, I'd love to, but you three should be heading home.

Well, we already told you.

The Hero League assigned us this house.

We are home.

Yeah, my home.

And I'm back so it's time for you to go.

Bye!

Remember that bad feeling I had?

He's probably just kidding, Chloe.

Do I look like I'm kidding?

He's not kidding.

♪upbeat musical transition *

What is going on? I'm not cool with getting kicked

out of our own house by SpongeBob StrangePants.

I'm sure it's just a big misunderstanding.

Yeah, he's probably just not thinking straight.

Eating fish sticks will do that to you.

You mean fish sticks.

[gulps]

It's like the man is part sea lion.

I am. On my mother's side.

Ah.

And it's obvious this house belongs to me.

None of you have the foggiest idea of what it can even do.

[whooshing]

-Oh. [groans] -[groans]

Ugh, it's so squishy.

I rigged this house with booby traps.

It is good to be home!

Can we call President Kickbutt now?

No, we can't call her with every little problem.

You called her last week because Phoebe ate your yogurt.

And she told me to stop calling her with every little problem.

I'm with Max. If we call President Kickbutt,

she'll think we can't handle things on our own.

We can't. We just got attacked by seaweed.

Chloe, we got this.

Yeah, we're gonna handle this gently.

We don't wanna anger him. Or his fan base.

Trust me, those Tideys can be mean!

Hey! Look, High Tide, before you smack us in the face

with some salmon you have hidden in the ceiling...

How'd you know about my ceiling salmon?

Uh, what I'm trying to say is,

you can't kick us out of this house.

Of course I can.

This house belongs to the protector of Secret Shores,

and that's me!

High Tide.

Correction, it was you.

Until you were eaten by that giant clam.

Double correction, I wasn't eaten,

I was being slowly digested, which is way more disgusting.

I agree with you there.

While you were being digested,

the Hero League brought us here to take down the Mastermind.

The Mastermind? Never heard of him.

But he sounds evil. I hereby proclaim him my archnemesis.

He can't be your archnemesis because he's ours.

What you talkin' 'bout, Guppy?

Well, since you were gone,

we were named the protectors of Secret Shores,

which means this is our house.

Yeah. And now you're just some dude

who can eat a scary amount of fish sticks.

Wow, you're right, I've been replaced.

This house does belong to you.

Thank you, High Tide. Hey, look at the bright side.

This will make a great story in your next book. [gasps]

Maybe you can dedicate it to me?

[laughs]

[sighs] No.

Well, I guess Pearly and I will be going.

Though I can't help feeling like I'm forgetting something.

Nope! You're good.

Give it.

Oh.

Farewell, Thundermans.

I will now get my surf off your turf.

-[door opens] -Wow, he actually left.

-[door closes] -Yeah. See how easy that was?

And that is why we don't contact Kickbutt

unless it's yogurt related.

Foolish flounders.

High Tide's not leaving!

This house belongs to the true protector of Secret Shores!

Me! [laughs]

Everything good out here?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, just saying goodbye to this plant. Bye, plant.

♪upbeat musical transition *

Get ready for the Water Warriors'

most massive protest yet, Jinx!

Ooh, is it a sit-in? You know I love a comfortable protest.

A sit-in won't help us take down

the most vile threat to water's freedom.

The drinking fountain?

Yes! [sighs]

Every day water flows through it against its will.

We must make sure no one ever drinks from it again.

Isn't proper hydration important?

-Whose side are you on? -Yours, always yours!

But aren't you afraid we'll get in trouble?

[sighs] Afraid?

Getting in trouble equals attention for our cause.

It's basic protest math.

Right.

I failed protest math.

Don't worry. We're not gonna do anything crazy.

Time for the industrial cement mix.

The what?!

Don't panic! It's organic.

I'm just gonna use a little to block the spout

to block the water!

I guess that wasn't so terrible...

until the handcuffs!

Was that really necessary?

Of course! All the best protests involve handcuffs.

[sighs] Now to see if we properly stopped this fountain.

-[gurgles] -We did it, Jinx!

The water's saved! [giggles]

Huh? Some of the cement got on the button.

It's stuck.

Is that bad?

[loud rumbling]

The water's angry. Very, very angry.

It's because the pressure's building in the pipes.

This thing's gonna blow!

-We better call for help. -Ooh, let me help.

Oops.

That wouldn't have happened in a comfortable sit-in.

♪upbeat musical transition *

Okay, now that High Tide is gone, we need to focus on--

-Admitting I was right? -Getting rid of the fish stench?

I was gonna say tracking down the Mastermind,

but, oof, we have a lot to do.

Well, I can't work on an empty stomach. What's for dinner?

Mm, Chloe, you've been saying

we don't listen to your ideas, so why don't you choose?

-Ooh, why don't we order pizza? -Nah, I had pizza yesterday.

-Wanna do Chinese instead? -Good idea, Chloe!

[watch chimes]

There's an alert for an indoor flood at the school.

Pass! We're superheroes, not plumbers.

Wait, Booch texted me

that she and Jinx were going to the school.

Then they could be in danger! Teleport us there.

[sniffs]

Do you smell that? [sniffs]

Ha, ha, ha!

The tide has turned!

-Where'd you come from? -The rooftop airportal.

Didn't you ever wonder why they called this the Sky Fort?

It's an Air Lair.

More importantly, why are you back?

Well, I thought about what you guys said.

This house belongs to the true protector of Secret Shores

so I'm going to respond to the alert and prove...

it's me.

You're much cooler in your book.

Aw, guys! Little fish boy wants to show us

his seashell collection.

-No, no, no, Max, that's his-- -Super Starfish Attack!

Unfortunately, we'll be under it.

Can I get a bathing suit?

Even one with the weird built-in underwear?

[screaming]

I can't believe we're in this mess

for a cause I never even understood!

What? You don't want to free the water?

No, not even a little.

Booch, water needs to go through pipes

for things like showers and water parks

and, most importantly, toilets!

Why didn't you tell me you felt this way sooner?

You get so excited about your causes.

I just wanted to support you.

I appreciate that, but please tell me

when you think my ideas stink in the future.

-[sighs] Okay. -[sighs]

I also don't like that onion and tree bark crust pizza you make.

What do you mean you don't like my--

Thank you for your honesty.

Now fear not!

Your problems are about to be washed away.

Oh! I almost forgot.

Pearly needs to see this. [laughs]

He's friends with a giant pearl?

We're in good hands!

The alert said these pipes may burst,

and I gotta be honest, I have no idea how to fix them.

But when in doubt, blast it out.

Wait! Marine animals are very sensitive

to high-pitch sound frequencies.

Wow. Since when do you know animal facts?

I learned it from listening to Booch.

Maybe you'd learn something if you listened to me.

I was talking about both of you.

Still enjoyed it.

-Yeah. No. Not once. -Nope, me neither.

High Tide needs to be brought in for evaluation immediately.

Towards the end of his career, he lost his way.

His attempts to make saves all resulted in major disasters.

And this was before he got trapped inside of a giant clam?

Yes. He's probably way worse now.

And very smelly.
