Plot
The episode begins next to the Tree Fort as Finn is sprinkling bread crumbs onto Flame Princess which is then burnt away, Finn asks Flame Princess if what he was doing was like eating for her, but she declines and explains that it just feels good. Finn stands up, bestowing a log to Flame Princess, she then burns it in her arms forming coal. As she was doing that they were interrupted by Ice King flying in the air, who taunts Flame Princess about hugging the log. Finn groans at the Ice King, attempting to reach him. Flame Princess then declines Finn's offer to help, insinerating the log and burning rapidly, Ice King chuckles but becomes concerned as she is flying briskly towards him, shooting icicles at her, however she stops in midair melting them. The Ice King conjures a giant snowball but before the Ice King can hurl it at her, she punches him in the stomach and slaps him repeatedly. Finn is observing Flame Princess with amazment. Flame Princess then drops him, kicks him back in the air and then grabs him and burning his 'hams' and kicking him back into the Ice Kingdom in a puff of smoke and ashes, in the process making a fiery heart shape in the sky. She flies back towards Finn smiling at him and shrugging while her firey heart evaporates. Finn is left blushing in his astonishment. The scene is set back in the Tree Fort, groaning in his bedroom. He starts to dream. He looks around in confusion with puffs of smoke around him. He then questions what was cooking and that it smelt good. He begins to scream and panic as Flame Princess burns him below him stomach. He then realises it feels good and starts laughing in his joy. In the background the unseen Cosmic Owl was wispering somthing although Finn couldn't quite make it out. He then woke up to the sound of Jake. As Finn hops out of bed the scene jumps to Jake cooking scrambled eggs. Finn runs up to him in excitement repeating his name and pushing everything out his way explaining that he had an amazing dream. After telling Jake what happened while metioning that he assumes it was inspired by Flame Princess and Ice King's battle, Jake then said that it was strange becuase he too, had a dream. Jake proceeds to take his scrambled egg off the stove telling him that he will explain his dream at the table. Whilst Jake is describing his dream to Finn (which consisted of someone finding lost paitings) as they both eat the scrambled eggs, Finn zones out and begins to daydream, telling himself that he had to make Ice King and Flame Princess battle again in order to have the same dream.

Finn invites Flame Princess out for a picnic in the Ice Kingdom. Whilst sitting, Flame Princess asks Finn why he chose the Ice Kingdom for a picnic to which Finn replyed "Why do people do anything?" to avoid her question. Finn shakes a bag of marshmellows impling an offer to Flame Princess who rejected them. Whilst Finn started to chew down a marshmellow, they hear the Ice King flying home, whistling and holding two shopping bags. In a mouth full of marshmellow, Finn attempts to point out the Ice King was there. The Ice King over hears Finn's call and greets them in a friendly tone, saying it was a great day for a picnic to avoid trouble. Finn then tells Flame Princess he was actually making fun of her explaining that it was in the tone of his voice.

Flame princess becomes enraged and confronts the Ice King stopping him from moving and questioned him for what he said. Ice King becomes paniced and pulls away nervously and answers saying he didn't say anything, Flame Princess becomes furious after realising that it was in the tone of his voice. Ice King becomes extremely paniced and throws frozen prones and liver at her claiming she can take whatever she wants. She is startled by the food hitting her and punches him with full force.

He then is thrown to the ground covered in snow. Finn watchs blushing. He gives up trying to avoid trouble and spawns four snow warriors which then fall apart by themselves. Flame Princess claims she hates being made fun of with fire bursting from each of her hands. She begins to blast flame balls at The Ice King, who attempts using ice sheilds to protect him. Ice King then freezes a flame ball and it recoils in his face. Finn is sat watching with starry eyes whilst biting his finger. Ice King then conjures a dome of his face with ice, crying. Whilst Flame Princess was breaking her way into the dome explaining that she doesn't like to be made fun of, Ice King tries to persuade Flame Princess to stop. The last of Ice Kings snow warriors (The Bear formed snow warrior) Bear-huggs Flame Princess turning her blue and in pain, melting the snow warrior in the process. Ice King laughs in her face and states that he didn't even have to use his 'fire-proof grundies'. Finn runs up to her cursing at Ice King and asking if she was okay. After Ice King flies away, Flame Princess explains that she needs to burn down a few forests, possibly go to sleep to feel better.

Finn has just put on his pajamas in his bedroom. Finn steps up to a table with six full glasses of milk, drinking two and saying 'milk' before each of them. He asks BMO to play the 'Sleep Jam' which consists of just static sounds. He then hops on to his bed and closes his eyes. During his dream he says the same line as his first one "What's cooking? Smells good!", although this time it was the Ice King who was hurling ice cubes at him instead. The dream Finn had that night was in a similar style of the Flame Princess one except that the backgroud was blue of red. Finn was panicing hysertically and then notices the Cosmic Owl behind him saying something he couldn't make out.

The next morning, Finn wakes up screaming. Finn hurries downstairs to Jake who is pouring a hot beverage. Finn explains his dream. Whilst Finn was telling him of his dream, Jake then reacts hugely to the mention of the Cosmic Owl spitting out his drink. He importantly stated it as a  profetic dream and that Finn needed to finish the dream to understand what the Cosmic Owl was saying. Finn began rapidly writting a letter to Ice King pretending to be Flame Princess and another one for Flame Princess pretending to be Ice King.

After the Ice King recived his by 'Beard Mail' (Finn placed his letter in his beard) and read it out he then delivered his other letter to Flame Princess who also read hers. Finn then positioned himself in a snow trench and spectated the fight. Flame Princess was seen by Finn in a huge ball of fire, furious. The Ice King saw her appearence from his ice cave he flew rapidly toward her in a ball of frost and ice. They both hit each other eventually causing them to fly upwards. Flame Princess yanked at his beard as Gunter spat cold water at her from the Ice King's beard. In pain, they both recoiled from each other and countinuted to brawl over the letters in which Princess Bubblegum noticed from her room of the Candy Kingdom. the fight resulted in a huge explosion causing the Flame Princess to burn up becoming furious and enlarging into 'Flame Mode' destryoing a large part of the Ice Kingdom in the process. The Ice King then did simular by turning his ice cave mountain into huge warrior in which he controlled although it was destroyed quite quickly. The snow began to desolve as Finn admits to himself he might have gone to far. All the penguins began to flee. Finn at this time was standng in boiling water caused by the melting snow. Finn collapsed in the over whelming heat as he had his third but final dream.

Finn was sat in his bed as Flame Princess put him ablaze. Flame Princess then went way to far causing his body to burn turning him into a fairly hairy baby repeating 'wah'. Flame princess was startled by this change and walked away. The Cosmic Owl was standing before him and Finn could hear what he was saying. The Cosmic Owl said "You blew it." Finn woke up and to his dismay, he ran to what was left of the ice cave mountain after saying he could make it right and tried to help the now injured Ice King. On arrival, he was told by the Ice King to help Gunter who was knocked out by the impact of the fall with a chuck of ice ontop of him. Finn then rescued him and Gunter, pulling them both out. Flame Princess mistakes Finn as just the Ice King, hurling a flame ball towards them. Flame Princess apologizes as he turns around and the Ice King freezes the fire blast.

Flame Princess retreats from her Flame Mode and walks towards Finn asking if he was okay and that she was sorry. Finn admits that everything was his own doing. Flame Princess felt betrayed and walked away saying that she wanted some alone time after explaining she thought that Finn was "the one person i could-". After she walked away, Gunter ripped out of Finns' shirt and The Ice King told Finn "You blew it man."

Episode connections

 * At the end of the long preview, Princess Bubblegum can be heard saying "Ach mein Glöb!", which translates in English to "Oh my Glob!". Princess Bubblegum has not spoken German since "Go With Me."
 * "Too Old" establishes that Finn believes he and Flame Princess break up after this episode, due to Flame Princess saying that she "needs some time alone."
 * This is the fourth time the Cosmic Owl has delivered a Croak Dream.
 * This is the second time Flame Princess grew in size. The first was in "Hot to the Touch".
 * When Finn has his third dream, he started talking like his toy version in "All the Little People". He did this again when he was explaining to Flame Princess.
 * In the letter Finn writes to Flame Princess, he states "[she] can't even kiss [him] without totes freaking out."  This references Flame Princess's Elemental Matrix. This is also the first episode to reveal that Finn understands Flame Princess's Elemental Matrix, probably because Jake or Princess Bubblegum told him.
