Princess Monster Wife (episode)

"Princess Monster Wife" is an episode in Adventure Time.

Synopsis
When Ooo’s princesses start losing body parts under mysterious circumstances, Finn and Jake investigate.

Plot
The episode begins with the princesses of Ooo waking up to find various parts of their bodies missing. They go to Finn and Jake for help and the duo promise to help. They immediately go see Ice King, who denies doing anything at first, but reveals that he did in fact steal the princesses body parts to create a Princess Monster Wife.

Finn and Jake faint from the shock of seeing her. PMW asks who they are and Ice King lies and says that they are their children. They drag our unconscious heroes to the table for dinner. PMW tries to eat, but cannot keep the food in her mouth. Ice King plays it off like that is normal and lets food falls from his mouth also.

After dinner they wash the dishes and Ice King shows PMW his castle, after which they watch TV. Finn and Jake wake up and immediately pass out from seeing PMW. PMW begins to think she isn't normal but Ice King denies it and calls her beautiful. He even gives her a fashion show and forces his penguins to watch. It starts out well, but eventually goes awry after Finn and Jake wake up and try to not pass out by looking at PMW through a mirror, to no avail and one of the penguins looks at PMW and throws up.

PMW is crying in her room and Ice King tries to show her that she is beautiful by revealing that he made her out of the parts of the princesses he found most beautiful. PMW then realizes that she is made out of stolen body parts. Finn and Jake burst in blindfolded and take down Ice King. They then discover that PMW had left and it is revealed that she has returned her body parts to their rightful owners. As her cape floats back into the Ice King's castle, PMW last words to Ice King is that she will always be his Princess Monster Wife. Ice King cannot believe that she gave away all his stuff as the episode ends.
