Memory of a Memory

"Memory of Memory" is the third episode of season three of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
Finn and Jake enter Marceline's mind to awaken her from a sleep spell she had cast on herself, without knowing that they are being tricked by a remnant of her past.

Plot
Finn and Jake are walking through a lake with a rag-clothed wizard on Jake's shoulder. The wizard tells them that he's leading them to Marceline. When they get there, they find Marceline on the ground. Rag Wizard tells Finn and Jake that Marceline placed a sleeping spell on herself and they must find her Memory Core or else she will sleep forever. Finn and Jake then find themselves in a memory of Marceline as a child repairing her Teddy Bear, Hambo. The duo then find themselves in another memory where Marceline's father is eating her fries and Finn tells him not to eat them. Finn and Jake soon find a memory where Marceline and her boyfriend, Ash, are moving into their treehouse. Confused, Finn and Jake wander into a memory where Ash reveals he sold Hambo to a witch for a new wand. Marceline then cries and breaks up with him. After this, Finn and Jake find the Memory Core. The two wake up, only to find that Rag Wizard was really Ash, who awakens Marceline. He then reveals his plan: He used Finn and Jake to find the memory core, so he could destroy the memory of the break up. He then takes Marceline back to his house. Finn and Jake follow him to his house where Jake provides a distraction. Finn then sends Marceline into his memory to reveal the break up memory to her. Ash then comes home, only to be beaten up by Marceline and Finn. The episode ends with Jake's giant foot stepping on Ash.

Trivia

 * This is the second episode where Marceline appears in daytime.
 * Mrs. Cow and her PHIL FACE udder appear in the titlecard, though not in the episode itself.
 * This episode reveals that Marceline did age over time as a vampire, even though typically vampires possess eternal youth from when they're bitten which freezes their age eternally, though it could be suggested she has the power to manipulate her age. We see her as a young girl in a period presumably after the Mushroom War, and again slightly older (but not as old as current Marceline) during the incident where her father ate her fries.
 * If you look at Marcelines neck you can't see any bite marks untill she reaches her regular age.
 * When Finn and Jake first enter the memory, you can see smoke and destruction in the background probably referring to the Mushroom War.
 * The memory of Marceline's Father eating Marceline's fries is shown.
 * The massive Jake foot crushing Ash (and ending the episode) is a reference to British TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus, where sketches would abruptly end with a massive weight or object falling from the sky flattening someone or something. The "giant foot" is notable for being the object that ends the opening sequence of every Monty Python introduction as animated by Terry Gilliam.
 * Finn's memory of his infancy revealed Finn living in Joshua and Margaret's House.
