The Eyes

"The Eyes" is the second episode of season two of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
Finn and Jake can't go to bed because a creepy horse keeps bothering them.

Plot
Finn and Jake return home after seven days of sleepless adventure. They recap their adventures and then go to their beds. Finn is quickly woken up when he sees a Horse outside the window, staring at them. Jake shuts the binds and they go back to sleep. Shortly after, however, the moon appears in the sky and reflects the horse's shadow in the room. Finn and Jake go outside to try to figure out how to get rid of the horse. They try to pull him off, but to no avail. Jake extends his hand and grabs the horse. He puts him down on a far hill. Suddenly, he rushes back. Jake puts a blindfold on the horse, but the horse slouches his eyes down to see. Jake then tries to move the horse away by playing a song on his viola. Instead, it attracts snakes. After lots of failed plans, Jake suggests they kill the horse. Finn gets angry at Jake and strongly disagrees. They agree upon dressing the horse as a rabbit and letting hawks drag him away. The hawks come and take him. When the hawks drop the horse inside the house, Finn and Jake begin arguing. Then they realize the horse is tearing them apart and they resolve. Finn gets angry at the horse and kicks the horse in the butt. It is revealed that the horse was really Ice King in an inflatable costume. Finn and Jake fight Ice King. Eventually, Ice King is sitting on the ground, Finn holding his sword to his throat. They threaten that if Ice King doesn't tell them why he's been stalking them, they'll kill him. Ice King admits that he wanted to know how to be happy. He says that he is always so glum, but when he sees Finn and Jake, they always look like they're having fun. Before Ice King can finish, Finn and Jake fall asleep by his sides. Ice King questions if all he needs to be happy is a good night's sleep. He closes his eyes next to them and, after a short pause, says in his head he is still not happy.

Trivia

 * When Jake goes to get his viola, his arms spell out a cursive "yo".
 * Jake pronounces the names of the composers who wrote the songs he played on his viola wrong. Example: Mozart: correct pronunctiation Mose-art. Jake's pronunctiation: Mah-zert. Beethoven: correct pronunctation Bay-toe-ven. Jake's pronunctiation: Beet-hoe-ven.
