Marceline's Closet

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

Synopsis
Finn and Jake are trapped in Marceline's 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. 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 undressing. Shocked and embarassed, he quietly retreats back into the closet refusing to go back out.

Marceline then decides to go to bed and Finn and Jake decide to leave and quietly move toward the exit. On their way out the Spider attacks them and they panic silently. As they reach the exit the two begin to argue about whether or not Marceline can hear them. Their whispers turn into hushed yelling. Marceline reveals she can hear them. Finn and Jake try to hide to no avail.Marceline demands an explanation. Finn and Jake explain what happened and apologize. Marceline accepts their apology and says she hides at their house all the time. The episode ends at the Tree Fort, with Finn and Jake truly paranoid that Marceline is watching them at any and every moment. Just before the credits, it is revealed that Marceline is watching them at this very moment.

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 these lucid dreams? Anyway, 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.
 * It is shown in this episode and in "Memory of a Memory" that Marceline has a tendency to pick her nose.
 * As seen in "Evicted!", Marceline has a gray tank top on in the title card and near the end of the episode.
 * Marceline reveals that she hides out in Finn and Jake's treehouse all the time.
 * Admittedly, we've seen her hiding in the treehouse before, 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.
 * Comparable to how the children's game "Ring Around the Rosie" is a reference to the Bubonic Plague.
 * Marceline does not wash her hands.
 * In this episode, Marceline appears to have chiroptera nose-leaves, essentially 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. Also, the combe she is using has the shape of one of the Pac-Man's ghost.
 * 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 Mary holding Baby Jesus on her wall. This is a refrence to her being alive either before or after The Great Mushroom War. Marceline may have been a Christian, but the same story of Jesus may be used in the Glob religion.
 * It is seen in this episode that Marceline floats above her bed while she sleeps, a possible reference to the episode Heat Signature when she states that she never sits on her coach and she just floats above it.
 * The note on Marceline's door reads "Hey guys,
 * It was said in Marceline's song, that she sees blood red skies.
