Marceline's Closet

"Marceline's Closet" is the twenty-first episode in season three of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
Finn and Jake enter Marceline's house without permission and become tormented as they try to stay hidden from her in her closet.

Plot
Finn and Jake head over to Marceline's House to jam with her. Finn intends to play a balloon believing they are the instruments of the future and plays The Extremities Song to prove it. They find a note on Marceline's door saying she went out and that she'll be back and to not go in her house. While They wait, Finn and Jake decide to play Cloud Hunt. As Finn counts, Jake hides in Marceline's House despite being told not to go in there. When Finn looks for Jake, he spots him through the window and tries to make him come out and ends up going inside himself.

At this point Marceline comes back and Finn and Jake are forced to retreat into the closet in her room to avoid being seen. Marceline comes up stairs and uses the bathroom (without washing her hands) and smells something. Finn and Jake panic, but Marceline smells her arm pit and decides that the smell was coming from her. Marceline then picks her nose and throws the booger in the closet.

Finn decides to write a note saying there is an emergency at the Tree Fort so Marceline will leave and they can get away. Finn plans for the note to go down stairs, make and eat eggs, then land on Marceline's front porch. The note does everything Finn plans for it to do except instead of landing in on the front porch it returns and lands in Marceline's trash can. Marceline at this point decides Finn and Jake aren't coming and begins to play her own personal music only that no one else should hear (see Journal Song ). As she plays Jake smashes a small hole through the wall with a spoon, shrinks and tries to escape, but a white Spider comes out of the hole. Finn and Jake panic and are able to quietly push the Spider outside the closet. The Spider then pushes a lamp off of Marceline's table. Marceline goes to the closet to get a broom to clean it up. Luckily Finn and Jake hide in an overcoat. As Marceline puts the broom away, dust falls on her and she goes to clean herself up. Jake coaxes Finn to check out the situation. Finn sneaks out only to witness Marceline floating towards the bath wearing nothing but a single sock. Shocked and embarassed, he quietly retreats back into the closet refusing to go back out.

Marceline then goes to bed and Finn and Jake try to leave and quietly move toward the exit. On their way out the Spider bites Jake's shoulder and so he throws his arms up and opens his mouth, but he does not scream. As they reach the exit the two begin to argue about whether or not Marceline can hear them. Jake states that they are "quietly screaming" and Marceline reveals she can hear them. Finn and Jake try to hide to no avail, because Jake shapechanged to look like Finn. Marceline demands an explanation, and Finn and Jake explain what happened and apologize. Marceline accepts their apology and states that she hides at their house all the time. The episode ends at the Tree Fort, with Finn and Jake paranoid that Marceline is there. Just before the credits, it is revealed that Marceline is actually watching them.

Trivia
I had to run out, but I'll be back in a few minutes. I had to run out to buy some ketchup. Is it possible to be allergic to tomatoes? My sleep patterns are always super weird when I eat tomatoes. Do you ever have those lucid dreams? Anyhow, DON'T GO INTO MY HOUSE"
 * In this episode, Finn sees Marceline naked. When he returned from the bathroom to the closet, his pupils were a little dilated.
 * When Finn sees Jake in the window, the balloon floats away even though it wasn't filled with Helium.
 * It is shown in this episode and in "Memory of a Memory" that Marceline has a tendency to pick her nose.
 * Marceline reveals that she hides out in Finn and Jake's treehouse all the time, which is proven true, since we've seen her hiding in the treehouse in "Go With Me".
 * Cloud Hunt name could be a twisted and disturbing version of "hide and seek" refering to the Mushroom War. It could be referencing nuclear fallout, "cloud you cant run away from". It could also be when bombers would hide in clouds to avoid being found.
 * When feeling unobserved, Marceline apparently tends to not wash her hands after using the bathroom.
 * In this episode, Marceline has bat-like nostrils, that are only visible when she inhales for the purpose of scent.
 * On the cover of Marceline's journal on her desk, it says "GUNTER."
 * Marceline's journal appears to be a "Japanese" style book, with the binding on the right and reads from right to left compared to the Western style of left to right.
 * Jake shape-shifts into Finn twice in the episode, first with dot eyes, then with his regular eyes.
 * In the title card, Marceline's reflection cannot be seen in the mirror because typical vampires do not have reflections when faced by a mirror.
 * At the very beginning, Finn asks Jake if they should be jamming without Princess Bubblegum and Beemo, a clear reference to "What Was Missing".
 * Marceline seems to have a picture of the Virgin Mary holding Baby Jesus on her wall. This is a reference to her being alive either before or after The Great Mushroom War.
 * It is seen in this episode that Marceline floats above her bed while she sleeps.
 * The note on Marceline's door reads "Hey guys,
 * When Marceline finds Finn and Jake in her house and accepts their apology her bite mark isn't visible.
 * Marceline has three mounted trophies above her closet door, the center one being a head that greatly resembles the head of the "Pale Man" from Guillermo del Toro's 2006 fantasy film, "Pan's Labyrinth." Beside the head is a severed arm with a single eye at the center of the palm, which could also be a reference to the Pale Man.
 * This is the last Adventure Time episode to air in 2011, and the last episode to air at 8:00.
 * In the episode Mortal Recoil, Finn said that it was pervy to peek inside Princess Bubblegum's bathroom but in this episode Finn went inside Marceline's bathroom anyway. But it didn't look like he was paying attention to where he was looking, so it was probably an accident.
 * Jake actually sheds tears when Finn's paper airplane lands in the waste basket, indicating he is still slightly afraid of Marceline by not wanting to get caught.
 * Finn calls Jake's powers "shape changing".
