James II

Synopsis
Finn and Jake discover that Clone James has been faking his own death to collect medals. Now there are 25 Jameses running amok!

Plot
The episode begins with Finn, Jake, and Bubblegum walking and looking at a flower, when Clone James fakes his death yet again. Assuming that he is gone for good, Princess Bubblegum tells Finn and Jake to clean out his house. However, when they get to his house, 25 Jameses are there and are led by James #2 (from the end of the first "James" episode).

They call Bubblegum to go into the house, and she kicks them all out. However, they run from her, and she calls her Banana Guards to go looking for James. Meanwhile, Finn and Jake just watch them, laughing. While the Banana Guards go looking for James, Princess Bubblegum joins Finn and Jake, laughing with them. Eventually, they find all the Jameses. However, just as they find them, Original James comes back from the dead, with a horde of many other zombies.

Finn and Jake try to stop them but are unsuccessful, as anything the monsters touch melts. When Original James goes to attack Princess Bubblegum, all the Jameses dogpile him, and all their bodies fuse together. For what they have done, Bubblegum gives them all their medals back but banishes them from the Candy Kingdom. The episode ends with her saying "I am not going to miss him."

Trivia

 * Princess Bubblegum is wearing a new hairstyle and different clothing for part of the episode.
 * Princess Bubblegum had thicker thighs than usual when she was wearing her safari outfit. She also wore shoes with her usual pink dress, as opposed to being barefoot like in most episodes.
 * It is revealed that three months have passed since the events of the episode "James."
 * The promotional artwork shows Root Beer Guy on vacation on the beach with his wife, Cherry Cream Soda. This explains why he isn't in this episode and why Princess Bubblegum asks who is in charge that day.

Cultural references

 * James II called the James' house Jamestown. Jamestown was the first British colony in America founded in 1607.
 * "James II" is the same as the name of King James II of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
 * The scene where the Banana Guards are chasing the James clones around the Candy Kingdom is similar to chase scenes in older cartoons from around the 1920s-1960s.
 * The James clones went into a glove shop and came out wearing large white gloves, which may be a reference to how many old cartoon characters, such as  and, usually wore white gloves.
 * The huge trap that the James clones make to stop the Banana Guards might also be referring to traps sometimes seen in these older cartoons, and/or s.
 * The Weeping Willy might be a reference to the weeping willow, an ornamental tree.

Episode connections

 * Finn still has the flower where his arm was before it was lost in "Escape from the Citadel." However, nobody seems to notice it, much less comment on it, although this might be because they already know of it or that this episode was produced later and aired at an earlier date.
 * The Goo Monsters are also seen from the episodes "Simon and Marcy" and "James."

Errors

 * When the James clones were first shown from aerial view, there are 30 clones. When it is shown up close again, 25 clones can be seen.
 * When Princess Bubblegum goes to James' apartment, only 19 Jameses come out of the building.
 * When the Goo Monsters start attacking, there are only 12 Jameses in the group.
