"A Farewell of Arms" is the 17th epsiode of Season 3. While racing seahorses inside an empty stadium, the snorks meet a talking octopus named Quarterpus. They're so fascinated by his many tricks, and Occy feels neglected because they keep paying attention to him.
Plot Summary[]
The episode begins inside a deserted stadium, where the snorks are racing seahorses for fun. Casey then suggests they play underwater polo. They do so, and are having a great time. Junior's playing rough, almost causing Casey to fall on on an unpleasant location. Thankfully, another hand breaks her fall, just when Occy's about to save her.
That hand belongs to Quarterpus, a talking octopus. He then shows her and her friends various tricks and tells funny jokes. Casey and Daffney are in awe, while Junior and Allstar think he's cool. Occy, on the other hand, is very jealous of the talking purple octopus. For the rest of the time, they play games together as he continues telling jokes. Occy tries to participate in those activities, but fails. Allstar then considers renaming Quaterpus "Superpus" - then Occy gets the impression that none of his friends care about him anymore, so he leaves the stadium.
Meanwhile, Corky's on "Snork Patrol," spotting an unusual crane bringing down a cage that looks sort of like a giant beige colored clam. He decides to investigate it. Meanwhile, Quarterpus decides he wants to form a small band. While they all go find conks, they get caught inside the clam. While they think it's then end for them, Quarterpus warns Occy of the danger. As a result, he saves him. Through this, they learn that they should never neglect Occy like that.
Poor lonely Occy
