Candy Streets

Synopsis
When Lumpy Space Princess reports something being taken from her without revealing what, Finn and Jake investigate the Candy Kingdom for the object and culprit.

Plot
The episode begins when Finn and Jake in the Candy Castle. They are playing with cats in suits, with Princess Bubblegum following them, and go into one of the rooms of the palace, but are interrupted by Lumpy Space Princess who claims she was robbed, and the thief stole something she couldn't live without. After Finn and Jake try to calm her down, Princess Bubblegum enters the room with an abnormally large syringe filled with green liquid. Princess Bubblegum then injects Lumpy Space Princess with the liquid, which is revealed to work as a tranquilizer. Lumpy Space Princess tries to explain, but can only utter what sounds to be "Pete Sa---", then she faints. Finn and Jake then try to get clues from Lumpy Space Princess, but all they turn up with is a key. The key leads to her room in what is thought to be a hotel, room 303.

When the two arrive, they bust down the door, and quickly investigate. Finn notices a drug store near by, then finds what appears to be blood on the floor, and asks BMO to find out whose blood it is. Finn realizes the murderer must have bought a medium adhesive bandage afterwards, so Jake turns into a car and the two burst through the window. In the drug store, Ann is suspiciously selling bandages to a candy person. Finn introduces him and Jake, who shapeshifts into a badge, and asks if anyone suspicious bought bandages. She then rants about this person, who had a nose bleed. She said his name was Pete Sassafras, and he was headed for a train at station five at 11:27. Finn and Jake are playing around, but they still hear what she has to say, then leave to find Pete.

At the train station, they find station five, then look for suspicious people. They see Pete, who is boarding the train. They go after him, only to be stopped by cops, who try to arrest them for boarding the train without a ticket. Jake explains what they are doing, then the cop holding Jake licks him, saying that they are off the hook. Jake turns into a car once more, and swallows up Finn so he can drive. They take an alternate route to catch up with the train, but end up crashing into trees, deer, and even going through a river, but they catch up. The two brothers get into the back of the train, and find Pete sitting in a booth, acting suspicious as they question him. Jake then turns into handcuffs, and they arrest Pete.

In the Candy Dungeon, Finn and Jake are standing near the captured Pete. They ask him a few questions, but all they turn up with is that Pete doesn't even know who Lumpy Space Princess is. Pete demands a lawyer, who Jake then streches into. They begin to laugh, blowing the cover. After sometime, the two leave to get some donuts.

Outside, Finn tosses Jake, who is int he form of a car a bag of donuts with a cup of coffee inside. They begin to talk about the case, when BMO finds them and tells them about the blood. He says he found out to was tomato sauce, and then Finn begins to piece together the puzzle. He then come up with that Lumpy Space Princess wasn't saying Pete Sassafras, but actually Pizza Sassy's, a pizza parlour. Finn and Jake rush to the parlour and asked an employee for the pizza delivery guy (called Pete), but are told that Pete is out delivering pizzas. Finn calls Princess Bubblegum to tell her to add Banana Guards outside Lumpy Space Princess's hospital, but she tells him that Lumpy Space Princess has gone back to her hotel room. Finn and Jake hurry to the hotel and at the moment they arrived they in front of the hotel, they see Pete's pizza delivery car in parked in front of it.

Hurrying to Lumpy Space Princess's room, they hear Lumpy Space Princess grunting and shouting. Jake kicks the door open and sees Lumpy Space Princess on top of Pete. Pete asks for help and tells them that "he only delivered the pizza that Lumpy Space Princess ordered and now she won't let him leave." Finn asks Lumpy Space Princess what is going on and tells him that Pete stole her heart and starts to sob. Finn and Jake remove Pete under Lumpy Space Princess but Pete complains afterwards because he didn't get a tip. The episode ends with Jake transforming to a car and tells Finn "that the only case there is Lumpy Space Princess being nutty," and smashes the window of her hotel room.

Trivia

 * When Ann is getting the empty jar down, on the far right of the screen, there is a bottle with Norse runes on the label; they possibly spell out "Eelaei."  Norse runes are also on the yellow carton next where the jar was sitting; they possibly spell out "Apreil."

Cultural references

 * This episode is a tribute to crime dramas such as Law and Order and The Wire.
 * The transition from the drug store to the train station and in the previews of the episode had the noise similar to when a scene transitions on "Law and Order."
 * When the cats are in the suits with a suitcase, this is similar to the character, Business Cat, from Cartoon Hangover's Youtube show, Our New Electrical Morals.
 * In the Candy Drugstore behind Ann there is katakana (Japanese) on the glass that reads ファーマシー ?, meaning "pharmacy."
 * Jake turns into a pipe that Finn inserts into his mouth. This is a reference to Sherlock Holmes.
 * Finn and Jake buying donuts and coffee is reminiscent to the cops and donuts stereotype.
 * The pizza delivery car that LSP stole may be a resemblance to a 1978 Renault GTL18.
