Gotcha!

"Gotcha" is the twelfth episode in season four of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
In order to do research for her tell-all memoir about men, Lumpy Space Princess goes undercover working for Finn and Jake.

Plot
The story starts off when Finn, Jake, and BMO are seen playing bocce ball. Turtle Princess flies on a hovercraft to meet Lumpy Space Princess in the woods. Lumpy Space Princess is seen scratching away ants and fleas. Turtle Princess is surprised that she attract so many things, and thinks it's because of her lumps. Lumpy Space Princess replies that she will write a book to help her attract boys with her Turtle Lumps. A ball is seen flying through the air, and lands near the two. Jake's ball lands next to it but Beemo's is closer, so Beemo won a bet that Jake must call him "Sensei" for a month. After they leave, Turtle Princess leaves right after. Lumpy Space Princess then improvises a dress out a plastic bag. She then leaves for the Fort.

LSP is then seen heading toward the fort. She makes lipstick out of fruit pies, and knocks on the door of the Fort. Jake looks at her and turns away in disgust. LSP then fakes a sign that Finn and Jake supposedly made for an adventure secretary. The duo reluctantly accept her, and the trio is then seen inside the fort. LSP asks for food so Finn looks around for some. She then "seduces" for him to look for more, where he finds old spaghetti. After Finn and Jake leave she says "Gotcha." She then answers a call from Turtle Princess, where she tells her that she's was doing great. LSP then falls asleep.

The next day, the guys are seen putting rocks in Jake. LSP rushes outside, only to carry rocks herself. Halfway through the trip, she fakes being tired and answers another call from TP. After hanging up, the trio is seen throwing rocks across a river to find a safe path through. Finn and Jake laugh when a rock splashes and goes "Kaploop." LSP then tries to seduce Finn by a dress strap falling off, but it has no effect as he is too focused on finding the right path. They then cross the river and go into a cave, where they encounter a portal. Finn and Jake are focused on the portal, but LSP still tries to seduce the guys by taking off her dress. When this fails, she runs into the portal, only to be stuck on the other side. She then sees silent reflections of Finn (they're not real), while the guys on the other side are trying to break the wall down. After "Finn" takes off his shirt and hat, he phases through the wall and becomes completely black. LSP freaks out because she thinks her hotness has turned Finn into a monster. Finn and Jake then bust through and defeat the Fake Finns. After finishing them off, LSP replies that they came because of her beautiful lumps, but Finn replies that what really matters is in the inside, such as your brains and stuff. They explain to LSP that PB sent them here to destroy the magic mirrors.

They are later seen at the tree house, where LSP sees Finn outside. She askes Jake what he's doing out there, and he replies that Finn likes to go outside and think sometimes after an adventure. LSP then understands about the lumps on the inside, and realizes Finn is the beautiful one with his "inside lumps." She then talks to Turtle Princess, and tells her that her book will be finished soon. LSP is then see multiple times writing on a typewriter. She is then seen with Turtle Princess, who inspects her manuscript. She says that it was not what she expected, but she publishes it anyways, titled "I Wrote A Book." After the storm clears, LSP is seen in a brown bag, where she askes Finn if he has been wondering where she has been. Finn replies yes, and she reveals that she was only there to do research on her book. She then flies out the window, where Jake yells, "LSP, you're wearing garbage for clothes!" She is then flying high, then dropping down, and continuing to fly, until the screen comes to a black.

Storyline analysis

 * All of the Mirror Finns that attack Lumpy Space Princess seem to sport longer, nearly waist-length hair while in the mirrors. It's unknown if this implies that Finn's hair has grown significantly longer than its recent appearance in "Beyond this Earthly Realm", when his hair was only slightly past his shoulders, or if it's only Lumpy Space Princess's imagination.
