Still

"Still" is the seventh episode in season three of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
Ice King freezes Finn and Jake with a potion so he can force them to bond better with him.

Plot
The episode begins with Finn and Jake waking up to discover they can't move at all. Ice King shows up in their room and reveals that he sprayed them with a freezing potion while they slept. Ice King carries Finn and Jake from their beds to the living room, where he explains his reason for freezing them is so he can bond with them better as friends. The only way for them to be unfrozen is with a certain Unfreezing Potion A, which is in a bottle that looks exactly the same as Freezing Potion A. Gunter attempts to break the bottles, so Ice King puts them both on a shelf out of reach, locks them and hides the key in his underwear. After Ice King leaves the room to make lemonade, Finn realizes that because his body is in an impaired state, his mental sense has been enhanced, so he tries to mentally summon an Astral Beast to rescue them. Finn thus appears asleep throughout most of the episode.

Ice King's first bonding activity is to dress himself like Finn to better understand him, but Finn doesn't notice at all. Then Ice King decides to dress like Jake, but Jake stops him by yelling to avoid seeing Ice King naked (or only in spider web pixie pants). Ice King's next bonding activity is to give a very boring slideshow of photos he took of his penguins. While he's explaining the pictures, the key to the potions falls from his underwear. Jake tries to get Gunter to bring him the key, but the penguin doesn't cooperate. Ice King finds the key on the floor and puts it back in its hiding spot. Then, seeing Gunter bothering Jake, Ice King thinks they're bonding without him and locks Gunter in a cage. That night in the bedroom, Ice King tries another bonding activity with Jake, a 'late-night gab session', but quickly falls asleep with his eyes open. Meanwhile, Finn finally succeeds in summoning an Astral Beast but doesn't see what it looks like before he wakes up.

In the morning, Ice King offers to cook omelets for breakfast. Jake thinks it sounds good until Ice King says he plans to put his foot in the omelets claiming it will bring them closer together. After he leaves, butterflies congregate in Finn and Jake's room, and they soon realize that they are the Astral Beast Finn was trying to summon. Finn is disappointed until Jake finds that they can control the butterflies with his thoughts. They use the butterflies to help them confront the Ice King, but he accidentally uses the freezing potion on himself. He calls for Gunter to bring him the unfreezing potion, but Gunter knocks it out of the bedroom window and does a little dance.

Trivia

 * In The Eyes Jake says that he sleeps in the nude. This means that during this whole episode Jake is naked.
 * In this episode it is revealed that Finn's favorite food is meat loaf.
 * Ice King implies that there may be more than one Gunter in this episode, which could back up a statement by the creators that Gunter is actually "whatever penguin is hanging around the Ice King at that moment" and not one particular penguin.
 * The title card depicts a statue of Finn and Jake standing still with an Astral Beast butterfly near the flowers, which is a reference to Finn and Jake not being able to move like statues and the Astral beast being made of butterflies.
 * Though from the events of "Mortal Recoil", Ice King stated that he had lost interest in Princess Bubblegum after she turned 13 years old, he professes in this episode that he still has a crush on her, and is later seen acting upon his desire in "Wizard Battle", cheating his way through the battle in order to win a kiss on the lips from Princess Bubblegum herself. This is likely because Princess Bubblegum turned 18 again.
 * When the Ice King first enters Finn & Jake's room, there is a portrait behind him that shows a picture of Finn next to a green bear-like creature that's head is shaped like Finn's hat.
 * The Steel Sword that was seen in this episode was used in this episode in the first battle between Finn and the Gladiator Ghosts in Morituri Te Salutamus.
 * The snowman used to hold Gunter is seen in "BEEMO Blitz" on http://cartoonnetwork.com.
 * Beemo does not appear in this episode, but he probably is the only one in the house that could find them in the house and help them unfreeze.
 * Finn says he heard his Astro Beast and that it might be a gorilla, but when Finn is summoning it, an elephant is heard.
