Hitman

Synopsis
The grounded Ice King hires a fire-manipulating hitman to attack Finn and Jake, without realizing the potentially deadly consequences.

Plot
The story opens with the Breakfast Kingdom, where Breakfast Princess and Toast Princess are eating breakfast. Then Ice King comes and tries to put honey on their pancakes. They call Finn and Jake to save them, who grounds Ice King from doing anything evil for four weeks. Back at the Ice Kingdom, Ice King is angry at the two, so he goes online and hires a hitman named Scorcher, who he believes will literally hit Finn and Jake. Instead, Scorcher sets Finn and Jake's treehouse on fire while they're making sandwiches with meat from their friend, Meat Man. Ice King then bursts in and puts out the fire, ruining their sandwiches. After being scolded by Finn, Ice King flees back to his castle where he reveals to Scorcher that he didn't want him to kill Finn and that he put out the fire. Then Scorcher goes to Finn and Jake's bedroom and turns into smoke that fills the bedroom, possibly attempting to kill them by suffocation. Ice King then uses his ice powers to blow the smoke away.

Back in the Ice Kingdom, Ice King unsuccessfully tries to bribe Scorcher with money, a Talking Moose Head, and a pair of Night Vision X-Ray Goggles. Then he tries to get Scorcher to change his target to Lumpy Space Princess or Ghost Princess because they are his least favorite princesses, but that also fails. Finally, he hires Blastronaut, a hitman hitman, to take out Scorcher, but easily defeats him. Ice King is then able to distract Scorcher by saying "Someone got hit in the boinglights!" and freezes him, then runs to Finn and Jake's treehouse.

Finn and Jake have just woken up and Jake decides not to eat anymore of Meat Man's meat because he is having dreams about him. Then Ice King comes and reveals that he had hired Scorcher to kill them, then Scorcher comes to finish off Finn and Jake. As they run from him, Ice King puts an ice dome over them and reveals a plan to trick Scorcher by freezing Finn and Jake and lowering their body temperatures to make him think they're dead. The duo is against this but Ice King does it anyway and the plan works. After Scorcher leaves, there is a note in cursive left that says, "Echos [sic] of past events nudge the tiller on my present course, I await its reflection in the future" and it has a signature that appears to start with an "S", presumably Scorcher. After that, the Ice King climbs on top of Finn and Jake and mocks them by saying they're grounded under his butt.

 * This episode was previously titled "Hitcapades"; this title referred to the Ice Capades, a long running touring ice skating show.
 * At first, there were two choices of how the Breakfast Princess would look, but in the end the two possibilities were chosen to be a pair of princesses, with some minor changes.
 * Upon completion of his hit, Scorcher vanishes in flames, but not before dropping an enigmatic note which the Ice King reads, and then quickly discards. At the end of the note, it says S____h__, which is actually signed as "Scorcher." The note reads as follows:
 * Ice King states that Lumpy Space Princess and Ghost Princess are his least favorite princesses.
 * There is an animatic where the Ice King tries to distract Scorcher by saying "Someone got hit in the nuts." Cartoon Network requested they change it, so it became "Someone got hit in the boingloings."

 * When Ice king searched Hitman on his computer, there was a description of the Scorcher as "Quick, Quiet, Relentless."
 * When Finn was sleeping his sleeping bag was red but when he tries to wake up his sleeping bag was yellow.
