Synopsis
When Finn gets trapped in a giant spider web, he ends up playing marriage counselor to a couple of grumpy arachnids.

Plot
Finn and Jake are walking on a trail in the woods when suddenly Jake starts doing some crazy stunts, jumping off walls and doing cartwheels until he finally does a jump off screen. Finn sees Jake do this and is amazed by it exclaiming to himself "STUNTS" and attempts to do some of his own stunts, but they are much less spectacular then Jake's. When Finn meets up with Jake he claims he found a verticle trampoline, but Finn points out that it's actually a spider web. He attempts to "stunt" Jake out of the web, but gets caught himself. Then Finn and Jake discuss trying to escape, Finn complaining that he could have gotten them out if he hadn't cut his fingernails after Jake convinced him to. There's a flashback to presumably earlier in the day that shows how long his fingernails were. We go back to Finn and Jake, who proclaims he is going to take a nap and falls asleep, and Finn is warned by 2 flies about how it is the end of all their lives.

Two huge spiders whose names are Ed and Barb appear walking down a hillside and they continue walking towards Finn and Jake and complaining about some things that they find wrong with each other. They continue to argue when they see that Ed's web has caught some food, but Barb gets upset and runs away when Ed insults her web spinning skills. Ed continues to spin Jake into a web to "save him for later". Ed is sitting all depressed when Finn tries to give him some marriage advice, and tells him how to better treat his wife, but Ed is skeptical because he is just his food and he thinks Finn is just trying to escape. Jake wakes up and Ed grabs a fly who exclaims "Oh glob! It's all over!" in attempt to eat it, but Finn stops him and says he will eat the fly instead to prove he is trustworthy. Finn whispers into the fly's ear that he is only going to "fake eat him", and does so.

Ed now believes Finn is trustworthy and asks Finn for some more marrige advice and Jake suggest he get his wife a gift which Ed thinks is a great idea. He walks into the forest in attempt to find a good gift for his wife. Finn then spits out the fly hiding in his mouth which immediately flies back into the web and gets stuck again. Finn then tells Jake that he has a dumb idea: an escape plan. Meanwhile, Ed is in the forest complaining to himself about how all his friends already have kids and his wife treats him like a donkus. He then comes across a Magic Sword in the hands of a Dead Knight which he thinks will be a perfect gift, so he takes the sword and runs back to his web to show his wife.

Cutting back to Finn and Jake, Finn is trying to hit birds with his spit when he finally hits one and he catches it, the camera zooms out to reveal he missed the catch several times before he actually caught the bird. He begins to use the beak of the bird to cut the web when Barb comes back and yells at her "food" for trying to escape. Then Ed returns with his sword and presents it to his wife, but she just fights with him even more about their relationship, and Ed releases the food he caught in spite of Barb who said she didn't need it. "What are ya gonna eat now?" says Ed to Barb, and she attacks him, telling Ed that she'll eat him. Finn escapes the scene with Jake, but goes back to help Ed even though Jake says Finn should mind his business. Finn distracts Barb from Ed and ends up in a battle with Barb who pins Finn to a wall and opens her jaw wide. She is about to eat him when Jake comes and asks Finn what's going on. Suddenly, Barb starts moaning in pain, and Ed asks if she is ok when a bunch of Baby Spiders shoot out of her and rain down from the sky slowly. Barb says that they can make a new start, and kisses Ed, reconciling. Finn and Jake are a little bit disgusted, but Jake says it's the circle of life, then closes his eyes as the spider-babies bite him and relaxes. The baby spiders then continue to fall and Finn screams as he is being buried by them.

Trivia

 * This is the 3rd time Finn has helped someone with love, and the second time Jake has helped someone with love.
 * There is a discrepancy of whether or not Ed and Barb are married. Although Finn refers to Barb as Ed's girlfriend, he later tells Barb that she should not eat her husband when she attacks Ed.
 * The Dead Knight's sword has runic code on it, making it similar to the Fight King's Sword.
 * Similar to how some types of insects and arachnids eat their husbands, Barb tries to eat Ed.

Episode connections

 * In the episode "Five Short Graybles," Finn's to-do list says "cut fingernail", and in the short preview, his fingernails are really long, but in the episode, it was a flashback so it could have taken place before or after "Five Short Graybles".
