Freak City (episode)

Freak City is the twentieth episode in season one of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
After Magic Man turns Finn into a giant foot, he and Jake team up with a band of freaks to set things right and turn themselves back to normal.

Plot
Finn and Jake are seen walking when suddenly they encounter a Mysterious Man, who they think is a hobo. Mysterious Man tells them he is starving, and wants food. Finn digs in his backpack and finds a single sugar cube and decides to give it. Jake tells Finn not to give the sugar cube, but Finn gives it anyways. Mysterious Man eats the sugar and becomes Magic Man, causing the boys to think that he's a nice guy. Magic Man allows a bird to land on his hand, but uses magic to rip the bird's skin off (revealing the insides). This disturbs the boys and they yell at him and ask why he just did that. Magic Man then decides to repay Finn by turning him into a foot. Finn freaks out and wants to be turned back, but Magic Man tells him that he have to learn a lesson and goes into a portal. Finn decides to chase after him, but can't move well. Jake likes the transformation and tells Finn that he can kick harder now. Later on Jake sets up a trap for an evil giant by making him step on a button, causing Finn to bounce off a spring and hit the giant in the crotch. The plan works and the boys run away until they see a burning city. Jake throws Finn, causing him to land in the middle of the burning city that's filled with Rump People. The Rump People stop screaming and gets angry at Finn, saying that he's one of the freaks that caused the fire. They throw Finn off a bridge where Jake meets up with him. They then meet the other people who got attacked by Magic Man: Gorflax, Gork, Kim, Trudy, Wee Wee, and Zap. The group tells Finn that they are powerless and just lay around. Jake likes the idea and lies down in a pile of trash where bunches of Rats come toward him. Finn then sleeps a bit, but wakes up and sing in a techno voice after getting a dream. He kicks everyone from under the bridge and tells them that they must fight back. He then notices that altogether, they can make one body while Jake becomes the pants. Magic Man disguised as Mysterious Man (for awhile) suddenly comes and battle them. Finn yells that he should never have given the sugar cube after managing to pin him down. Magic Man says that's the lesson, turns everyone back to normal, and runs away in a portal. Everyone (besides Finn and Jake) decides to be together to remain powerful as Finn gets angry at Jake for not helping him. Jake tells Finn that he wanted to be a foot to, but Finn says that he turned into a foot twice yesterday. The episode then concludes as Jake saying it's complicated, and that Finn will understand when he's older.
