Incendium

Synopsis
After Finn is rejected by Princess Bubblegum, Jake searches for another girl for him, eventually journeying to the court of the Fire Kingdom to win its princess.

Plot
The episode opens with Princess Bubblegum showing Finn and Jake her Liquid Pyrotechnics. After she draws Jake onto her lap, Finn makes an attempt to put his head on her lap as well, but she pushes him away, saying, "Come on, Finn, don't be weird."

Finn becomes heart-broken and, after Princess Bubblegum leaves and the resulting rainstorm comes and passes, he curls up in a corner with a piece of Princess Bubblegum's hair and two pictures of her. He then sings "All Gummed Up Inside" to express his misery and starts moaning in pain knowing that it's hopeless to win Princess Bubblegum's heart, leaving Jake and BMO feeling sorry for him.

In an attempt to cheer him up, Jake seeks a new love interest for Finn. Jake then hears what sounds like a girl's scream and stumbles across Flambo, who is being attacked by Iron Owls. After saving him, Jake asks Flambo if he knows any princesses Finn's age. Flambo then tells him about a "hot" Princess in the Fire Kingdom. When they get there, Flambo casts a "Flame Shield" on Jake so it will be safe for him to go in. Jake then checks on Finn, who's desperately trying not to cry. Jake goes into the castle and introduces himself as the "Baron of the Grasslands" to the Flame King, and then attempts to win over the Flame Princess for "Prince" Finn. First, he offers a water bottle which he accidentally kills the Flame Jester with. Flame King states that he hated his jester. Jake's second attempt is to sing "All Warmed Up Inside" as a serenade. Flame King is not impressed with the song and demands that Jake leave. Jake then checks on Finn with BMO's camera, as he sadly apologizes for failing to win the Flame King's favor. Finn is now bawling and tells BMO to go away. BMO's hands are shown in an arrow pointed toward Finn's open pants while BMO walks towards Finn, while repeatedly saying "Boop, Boop, Boop." The view switches to Jake looking weirded out and Finn is heard yelling in pain/surprise. The Flame King demands to know why Finn isn't here, so Jake stretches his stomach to look like Finn, who greets the Flame King and offers him a koala bear (made with Jake's stretchy powers). Though koalas are the Flame King's favorite animal, he rejects the gift, saying he no longer likes koala bears. Fake Finn begins to cry and Jake tries to cheer him up, but he loses control of fake Finn who begins to attack him and (seemingly) kill him. This impresses the Flame King who states that a prince who is willing to kill his own buffoon is welcome to date his evil, destructive daughter, much to Jake's horror.

Flame Princess walks over to the Finn-shaped-Jake and embraces him. Some fire elementals and Jake remark that she actually seems normal and Flame Princess responds by shooting fire at them and turning them into flambits. Upon observing this, Jake concludes that she is an evil princess. Jake makes his Finn say that he does not like her anymore. Flame Princess is enraged, causing mass chaos with her destructive fire powers. Jake attempts to flee to the tree house, but she follows him in her flaming, monstrous form and sets the tree house aflame. Jake tries to warn Finn, but Finn does not notice or care because of his depression over Princess Bubblegum.

The fire soon spreads inside the tree fort, destroying Finn's picture of Princess Bubblegum before his eyes. Finn becomes enraged by this, vowing to kill whoever started the destructive fire. He looks out the window to see Flame Princess's monster form scaling the tree fort. Flame Princess accidentally ignites the rest of Princess Bubblegum's liquid fireworks. This makes Finn even more furious, and he shouts at her to not touch Princess Bubblegum's stuff.

The drops from the Liquid Pyrotechnics hit Flame Princess, dousing out her flames. This reduces her to her normal girl form, which surprises Finn. She briefly passes out and Finn catches her in his arms. She wakes up soon after and asks Finn why he doesn't like her. Finn immediately replies that he does like her. Flame Princess blushes and tells Finn not to mess with her again. She slaps him and departs in a huff.

The episode ends with Finn telling Jake, "Dude, I think I have a crush!"

 * Flame Princess' mouth hangs open when Finn says that he likes her, but on the Facebook photo version, her mouth is closed.
 * The title card for "Incendium" shows Finn crying with pictures of Princess Bubblegum, but in the title card for "Burning Low", the scene is reversed with Princess Bubblegum crying with pictures of Finn.
 * In the preview, Ricardio's voice (George Takei) seems to be narrating, which is most likely because the episode premieres the day before Valentine's Day.
 * When Jake is fighting the second Iron Owl his attack is a reference to one of Monkey D. Luffy's attack Gomu Gomu no Ono (Gum Gum Battle Axe in English) in a popular anime One Piece.
 * This is Adam Muto's and Rebecca Sugar's last episode as a team (see promo art). As from this episode, Adam Muto was promoted to creative director and Rebecca Sugar will work together with Cole Sanchez.
 * Even though the episode airs at 7:30 PM Eastern/Pacific Time, the promo art says it airs at 8:00 PM, a mistake made because of a habit back when episodes aired at 8:00 PM.
 * Rebecca Sugar said this the episode when she could finally make Finn cry, although he cried briefly before in "Jake vs. Me-Mow." Even though this wasn't seen on the show, Finn says he spent thirty minutes crying in his bed after Jake almost suffocated him in a previous episode. This is the second episode where Finn is seen crying (not including him crying as a baby).
 * In the previous episode "Dad's Dungeon," Finn made a large deal about not crying often. Also, in an interview with Pen Ward taken very close to the airing of "Incendium," he said that he does not like to make Finn cry.
 * "All Warmed Up Inside" originally came from "All Gummed Up Inside," although it is changed talking about Flame Princess rather than Princess Bubblegum, and it is changed with specific words that have the same singing tune than "All Gummed Up Inside."
 * Jake sings a song with what looks to be an acoustic guitar (on fire), though it sounds like a ukelele.
 * BMO's game was a reference to Nintendo's Excitebike.
 * When Finn tells BMO to go away; BMO performs a Kancho prank on Finn.
 * When the Tree Fort begins to shake, the arm of another BMO can be seen next to the original BMO, as if BMO is standing in front of a mirror.
 * When Jake ran out of the Fire Kingdom he was still blue but as soon as he entered the Tree Fort he changed back to his original color.
 * When Jake threw things out of his backpack, you see a magazine with a burger on it, an orange peanut, and a bear doll.
 * In the original storyboards, it shows Flame Princess shooting more Fire People.
 * In the original storyboards, Flame Princess calls Finn freaky, after advising him to never mess wth her again.
 * Flame Princess is kept in a giant lantern because Princess Bubblegum asked her father to put her away so she wouldn't experience extreme romance and destroy the world.
 * This is first Valentine's Special of Adventure Time.
 * On iTunes, this episode along with the episodes "Another Way," "Ghost Princess," and "Dad's Dungeon" are incorrectly labeled as part of season four.
