Skyhooks II

Synopsis
Finn and Lumpy Space Princess work together to unlock one of Ooo's greatest secrets before time runs out.

Plot
Immediately after the events of the previous episode, Betty and Simon fly off, leaving Finn to fend for himself against the candied denizens. Ice King urges Betty to turn back as stares back, while Betty knocks him out by whacking him over the head with the Enchiridion. Finn, surrounded and serenaded, screams as LSP grabs his leg and drags him away from the crowd.

Finn and LSP hide in a hallowed out tree where Finn deduces that LSP is a sort of anti-elemental, but she herself had limited knowledge of that since she didn't pay attention to her parents' lectures in the past about the entities made of lumps.

Betty, meanwhile, has bound Ice King, and plans on using the Elemental's jewels and the Enchiridion's power to tear open a portal in time to return to past so that Simon never puts on the crown, thus preventing his transformation into Ice King and her being dragged into the future and becoming Magic Woman. She even has ambitions to prevent the Mushroom War, which horrifies Prismo and the Cosmic Owl who've been watching events unfold from their jacuzzi.

Finn tries to find a way to combat the elemental powers by using LSP's powers, but she is irritated about being told what to do all the time. Candied Gunter finds the duo in the woods and begins hugging LSP.

Betty has initiated the portal's creation, meanwhile Ice King tries to reason with her and slides over, still bound up. He kicks a jumper cable off the Enchiridion which causes the portal to explode as Betty disappears. Ice King's suit rips and his original outfit returns to full size.

PB, unsatisfied with her attempts to candy everyone, began a land wide song with Marshmaline after Finn escaped with LSP, which candies creatures in nearby zones and melts the ice dome where Patience sees her attempts have failed. She freezes herself after asking Mr. Fox to roll her somewhere safe. Mr. Fox in incapable of doing so.

Ice King flies down to Finn to join them. Finn asks where Betty went but Ice King says he doesn't know who that is. He hands the Enchiridion over to Finn and notices candied Gunter over by LSP but Gunter ignores him. LSP grows more irritated by Finn telling her what to do, which attracts the Elemental's jewels, and after being told by Finn her abilities can affect the other elements returns Gunter to his original state. She begins a land-wide cleanse that returns everyone to their original forms, giving Sweet Pea his full horns, and returns every absorbed person in Slime Princess' body to normal. Once done, a crowd gathers around an exhausted LSP to cheer for their hero.

Betty emerges from a cloud of smoke on Mars, below Normal Man's throne where he tells her she "really donked up."

Jake calls for Finn where they meet on a hill. Finn takes a look at Jake, who now has 5 eyes and looks like his shape-shifter parent. Finn tells him that they'll find a way no matter what to fix everything, while Jake nervously laughs as he seems to not be aware of his true form.

Trivia

 * Jake has returned from his absence since "Slime Central." While everyone turned back to normal, he is in the form of his shape-shifter parent which is actually his true form.
 * T.V. is seen in the Land of Ooo even though he moved to the crystal dimension in "Lady Rainicorn of the Crystal Dimension."

Cultural References

 * The symbol that LSP draws on the ground is the Stussy symbol which is typically drawn by students usually on notebook paper during school hours.

Episode Connections

 * The Shape-shifter's appearance in Jake's dream in the episode "Orb" foreshadowed Jake's transformation to his true form at the end of this episode.
 * The jewel that detaches from Ice King's crown near the end of the episode is the same jewel that was missing from the Ice Thing seen in "Graybles 1000+."
 * Normal Man became the King of Mars some time after his return. He is seen holding the Wand of Dispersement, which was previously seen in "Sons of Mars."

Storyline Analysis

 * It is revealed that Lumps act as an "anti-elemental"; they are the force that order reality and turn it into its true form. This is the reason LSP undoing the elemental damage in Ooo also changed Jake's appearance and made Sweet P's broken horn grow back.
 * Despite LSP changing everyone back to their true form (including Jake), Finn still has an arm missing and Marceline is still a vampire. It's currently unknown if there's a specific in-universe reason for this or whether it's merely an inconsistency or oversight.
 * Betty is now stranded on Mars, and has come face-to-face with Normal Man who used to have her powers.
