Synopsis
Finn unearths a treasure with a terrible price at the top of Dead Mountain.
Plot
Finn and Jake are at Turtle Princess' library, researching several things. Finn puts down the book he was reading and asks Jake if he has heard about Death Mountain. When Jake replies that he hasn't, Finn informs him that apparently on top of Death Mountain is a great treasure that can change anything about yourself that you want. Finn asks Jake what he would want to change about himself, and Jake replies that he wouldn't change anything as he views himself as a "whole package." Jake asks Finn the same question, and Finn answers that he'd probably want to be taller, and about the same height as Princess Bubblegum. Jake teases Finn about this while he flips through the book more. Finn stops at a certain page and tells Jake that the book has a huge warning about Death Mountain, and that the warning says that there is a gross hermit guarding the treasure. The warning goes on to say that if the Hermit looks at someone/you, there would be grave consequences. The danger and promise of treasure settles Finn's desire to go to the mountain, and in the excitement, the two cause enough ruckus to get shushed by Turtle Princess. As they leave the library, they are still shushed.
When the two reach Death Mountain, they come with large mirror shields so they can avoid the Hermit's gaze. Sprinting up the mountain and reaching the top, Finn and Jake smash through the wall eager to fight the Hermit, though all they find is the remains sitting in the middle of a rat infested room. Disappointed that they did not get a chance to fight the Hermit, the two look around for the mystical object. Jake finds a snow globe placed next to the hermit, and he assumes that the souvenir is the fabled object. After the two attempt to make a wish with it, the snow globe breaks and the two become unsettled due to the object as well as the depressing atmosphere. When Jake tries to get them to leave the rat infested, junk food garbage littered place, Finn asks him to wait as he wanted the hermit's cool shades. When he takes them off, the shades reveal starry colored eyes. When the eyes attach themselves to him in a flash of light, Finn falls unconscious in the confusion.
After the light fades, Finn finds himself sleeping in bed with a worried Jake by his side. Jake excitedly tells him that he made him noodle soup for when he feels better. Finn, grateful for Jake's concern and generosity, tells him that he's the "bestest big brother ever." Immediately after, Jake turns into a taller humanoid version of himself wearing a varsity jacket. Before they can discuss what just happened, BMO comes up and asks Finn if he wants to do anything. Grateful for BMO, Finn tells the robot that they are "[his] little angel." Immediately after that, BMO turns into a humanoid with wings and a halo, and gleefully flies out of the room.
When the two eat breakfast, Jake deduces that Finn's eyes cause him to change people into what he sees them as. When Shelby crawls out to greet Finn, he magically produces clean cut hair, glasses, and a knitted sweater. Jake's surprise at Finn's "bookish nerd" perception of Shelby causes Finn to become distressed, but he is interrupted by an emergency call from Princess Bubblegum. Before they leave, Jake gives Finn the hermit's old shades in order to stop him from transforming other people until he can control his eyes.
At the Candy Kingdom, Princess Bubblegum struggles to choose what to wear for her speech. When Finn and Jake ask her if this is what she wanted them to help her with, she says that it is not while pointing to an Ice King sitting in a tree close to where the speech is taking place. She tells the two that she doesn't want them to hurt him due to his recent good behavior, but that she does want them to watch him closely just in case. Outside, the two call out Ice King and tell him to get out of the tree. When he does, he inadvertently knocks Finn's shade off. When Finn looks at the wizard, he turns into his original form of Simon Petrikov. Ice King looks at his body, shocked, but runs off in distress due to him losing his "muscles."
