Davey

Synopsis
Finn decides to make an alter-ego to hide himself from his fans.

Plot
This episode starts when a group of Candy People was laying around, when suddenly a dragon arrives and devoured all of the candy people. Finn then saw the dragon then prepared his demon sword as Jake catapults Finn towards it, when Finn was getting closer, the dragon whipped him with his tail, but Finn was unaffected with his attack and comes back towards him, sliced him in half then so revealing the other eaten candy people. The dragon fell and the candy people ran away happily as they got out of the dragon. A group of Candy People begin to bother Finn so much that they idolize him after he saved them from a dragon. Thinking of an idea from BMO, he decides to disguise himself for a while, just to escape the suffocation of being a hero. He shaves a portion of his hair and paints the rest of it black with molasses, along with a stir of hair that is left, and it poses as a mustache. After he deceives his fans and Jake, changing his voice and self-titling himself as "Davey," he makes a tour of the Candy Kingdom, seeing how everyone reacts to him without knowing who he really is, and enjoys it.

The next day, Jake wakes up and sees him building a log cabin with Randy, one of the many Candy People who is a fan of Finn, and asks Finn why he's doing it, but he says he's called Davey, Jake realizes that Finn brainwashed himself. When trying to make him recover the memory, dressing like a thief, getting the idea from BMO, Jake tries to rob Randy hoping to get Finn to return to a hero and stop him, Finn instead calls the police and gets Jake arrested and in a last effort he shouts to Finn about the dragon he defeated earlier, which made him remember who he really is. He then has an internal conflict (speaking with his own mustache) about whether he should go back to be the hero Finn or the simpleton Davey, who he liked to be for a while. In the end, he decides to be Davey only one more time to save Jake.

Finn arrived at the prison and tricked the two Banana Guards to letting him in and getting the cell keys. After breaking Jake out of prison, Finn puts Jake's thief costume on a jelly horse and Davey's mustache in the horse's butt, saying goodbye to him (with the mustache responding somehow), to divert the attention of the guards, who were chasing them. The guards don't recognize him as Davey, and began chasing the horse. The episode ends with Jake saying it was good to have Finn back, dropping a fart in Finn's shirt pocket.

Trivia

 * In the the title card and the episode proper, one candy person is wearing a small replica of Finn's hat.
 * One of the Banana Guards tell Jake that they actually feed their prisoners in the Candy Prison.
 * Along with his hair, Finn also shaves his eyebrows in this episode.
 * It is revealed that BMO is fond of Finn's blonde hair, as BMO was crying over it when Finn was shaving it. BMO also refers to it as "Finn's beauty."
 * This is the first episode where Lollipop Girl is heard to speak on her own, as opposed to in "Five Short Graybles," where she sings in a group.
 * The Candy Prison has "Pris-on" written on the back of it.
 * When Finn sticks his mustache on the candy horse's butt and says "Goodbye, Davey," it is revealed that it can actually talk to him. As such, the closed captions list Davey and Finn as two different people.
 * It seems like there are only two Banana Guards guarding the entire prison.
 * In place of the clock that is always hung on Jake's bed door there is a necklace with a golden J encrusted with diamonds and a tie next to it.

Cultural references

 * Finn's disguise, Davey Johnson, is a reference to another Davey Johnson, a hall of fame baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets, as well as the actor who voiced Xergiok in "The Silent King" and "The Great Bird Man," and Finn's alter-ego of the same name in this episode.

Episode connections

 * Finn puts his hat back on the same way as seen in "To Cut a Woman's Hair."]
 * Also, Finn cuts his hair for the first time in the episode, once again leaving him bald. However, this time he leaves a small amount on the sides of his head.
 * Finn uses the tiny computer he swallowed to change his voice to Davey's; he usually uses this computer to sing auto-tune since introduced in "The Jiggler."
 * Finn has a pocket on his shirt, similar to "It Came from the Nightosphere."
 * On another note, the ending is very similar to the same episode, with Jake letting out a fart in the last second, with the same sound effect.
 * The game Randy is playing at the beginning is Adventure Master, the same game played by Finn and Jake in the episode "Business Time."
 * Davey goes to the Candy Tavern, the place where Finn, Jake, and Tree Trunks went looking for Tree Trunks's 'stolen' apples in "Apple Thief."
 * When Jake is in Finn's pocket, it has quite a resemblance to Burning Low near the end.

Errors

 * After Davey breaks the glass against the wall, the chair he was sitting on moves.
 * Lollipop Girl (voiced by Niki Yang) is supposedly French, but when she says, "Whatever, weirdo," to Davey, she sounds more like BMO (also voiced by Niki Yang).
 * Jake is sleeping in the opposite position Finn does; he usually sleeps in the same position as Finn.

Storyline analysis

 * Finn's desire of wanting to be nomal and simple may stem from the way he felt in "Paper Pete." He couldn't just quietly sit there in the library with Jake and had to go in search of some adventure causing Jake to think he was making things up to satisfy his need for adventures. The way people started practically harassing him in this episode forced him to confront this issue by creating Davey.
