The episode begins with Donut Guy entering some old comfort room. He meets a peanut man sitting on the toilet. The peanut asks him for his errand and then after answering, the peanut man presses a green button, opening a secret entrance from the urinal. The hidden passage leads to the hideout of Veritas Brigade where the members are having a meeting.

It is then shown from Princess Bubblegum's viewpoint that she is monitoring the Veritas Brigade through a hidden camera.

Trivia

Cultural references

This episode features a secret society called the Veritas Brigade headed by Starchie. Veritas is Latin for truth; they also have a Latin motto "Lux in tenebris" which translates to "Light in the darkness."
- The society's pass-phrase is a reference to "The Romance of Britomarte," a poem written by Adam Lindsay Gordon.
During his ritual assault on the Peace Master, Peppermint Butler repeats several protective mantras from the Guru Granth Sahib, the central text of Sikhism. Some basic information on these chants is available here.
- While Peppermint Butler uses chants from Sikhism during the ritual, the mention of Horus and the crocodiles (Crocodiles of the Nile are often mentioned in Hermetic texts) seem to reference Hermeticism. (Peppermint Butler has been linked to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn before.)
- During the ritual Peppermint Butler also refers to the light of the hermit. This is likely a reference to the ninth tarot card of the major arcana: The Hermit. There are many interpretations of this card but Aleistar Crowley's Book of Thoth may be the most relevant, considering Peppermint Butlers connections to Crowley. The Book of Thoth talks specifically about light of the hermit.
Colonel Candy Corn is seen training the Banana Guards through a miniature figure role-playing game, notable through various games such as the Warhammer franchise.
Peace Master singing "Da na-na-na na-na...Peace Master!" is most likely a reference to the well-known theme of the 1960's Batman series.

Episode connections

Rattleballs is seen training Finn and Jake; Finn started his training in the episode "Rattleballs."
The stadium where the Peace Master and Peppermint Butler reunited was the same stadium from "Wizard Battle."
This is the third episode where Peppermint Butler is seen using dark magic, the first two being "Death in Bloom" and "The Suitor" respectively.
Starchie continues to collect conspiracies within the Candy Kingdom, being first noted in doing this through his radio show in "We Fixed a Truck."
