"The Pit" is the forty-first episode in the fifth season of Adventure Time. It's the one hundred and forty-fifth episode overall.
Synopsis
Finn and Lady Rainicorn must work together in order to rescue Jake from the dimension of Kee-Oth.
Plot
The episode starts where "Play Date" left off. Kee-Oth is seen holding Jake and taking him to his Cracked Dimension. When they arrive, Jake asks where they are, and Kee-Oth replies that they are in his yoga room, throwing Jake into the pit in the middle of the room. Still thinking that Jake is Joshua, Kee-Oth tells him that he is ready for revenge and that Jake will never see his loved ones again. Jake surveys the inside of the pit, where a toilet, food, water, and some books are crowded into a corner. Kee-Oth tells him that these items are booby-trapped. The demon then sucks Jake's blood from his pores, claiming that Joshua once sucked Kee-Oth's blood this way. He leaves Jake slightly shriveled and fatigued inside the shallow yet unescapable pit. The demon asks how the defeat feels, and Jake only says though it doesn't feel that great, he could get used to it. Kee-Oth is not happy with Jake's response, and goes off to stretch his neck and shoulders.
Back at the Tree Fort, it is daytime and FInn is still dazed and taken back at what had happened to Jake the day before. When he finally comes to, he remembers about his demon sword, which has now been destroyed, split in half and drained of its blood, much to his dismay. Nonetheless, he calmly calls Lady Rainicorn on the phone in his pack. He tells her how Jake was kidnapped by Kee-Oth (he makes the mistake of addressing him as her husband, though he doesn't truly know if Jake is her boyfriend or if they are actually married), and asks her for help. Lady goes to retrieve a video tape from her house before leaving.
Meanwhile, Jake is then shown humming and singing inside the pit. He sings a catchy love song, then quickly realizes he already has a girlfriend. He forms his hand into a picture of Lady, though it needs some adjusting to get her face and hair right. He then hears a voice and sees that it is coming from the shell he has been sitting on. Jake gets up and offers to be friends, and the creature agrees, since he has never had a friend. He says that their species spends their first 12 years sleeping and that he just woke up today. Just then, he walks into the force field sheilding the toliet and food and is struck back sharply. Jake wonders if it is still alive, and, looking dismally at the empty shell, decides to pretend that he is still sleeping.
Lady then arrives at Finn's place with the videotape. While Finn puts the tape in BMO, Lady Rainicorn is talking to him, though he has no clue to what she is saying, and they watch the footage. It turns out to be an old video of Joshua exploring a cavern in the Underground Grassland complex. As he is talking, he is cut off by a video of Jake laying in front of the fire, talking to Lady in his sexy, seducive voice as Finn frantically sheilds his eyes from the disturbing image and pleads for BMO to skip Jake's parts. Joshua comes up on the screen, where he is now inside the cavern and has found a tablet. He then explains how if he links it with his own tablet, it should create a portal to Kee-Oth's dimension. Joshua is again cut off by a different video, where Jake is filmimg BMO and Shelby re-enact a scene from Heat Signature 2 (though when it is Shelby's turn to speak, he forgets his lines and instead call, "Check please?") Finn suggests they continue watching the tape for clues, but makes Lady promise they will not see any more "weird Jake stuff". Lady raises her arms and says something in Korean, but Finn has again no idea what she is saying, so he assumes that she agrees and gives her a high-five. Just then, another clip of Jake plays. This time, he is in the bathroom wearing a towel around his waist, where he is smooth talking about how he needs a bath, and strips himself of the towel. Finn and Lady are freaked out by the video.
In the Cracked Dimension, the demon is angry and tired of watching Jake stand in the pit feeling no pain. Kee-Oth claims how in the old days, Joshua would have been trying to strangle him at this point back in the old days. Jake finally tells him that he is not Joshua, and that Joshua is his deceased dad. The demon challenges him to then strangle him with the guts his dad used to have, but Jake only questions why he is being asked to be beat-up. The demon only gets more mad, so he throws a girl dog named Samantha into the pit with Jake, and makes them fight so that Jake will finally suffer.
As Finn and Lady rainicorn finish the video, they watch Joshoua going into a tunnel,where he picks up two tiles and opens the portal to Kee-Oth's dimention. Finn and Lady follow the example given by Joshua and travel to the Cracked Dimension. There, Kee-Oth finds Finn and Lady, and tries to suck the blood from the red sword Finn is holding. Lady has created a barrier around Finn by making a circle around him and biting her tail, and this stalls Kee-Oth from sucking the sword. However, when Kee-Oth finally prevails and drinks the sword, Finn reveals that the sword was a decoy made of grape juice blessed by Shelby. The holy grape juice Kee-Oth injested causes him to explode, and Jake gets his blood back. Jake helps Samantha out of the pit with his newly regained strength and powers. As they all rejoin at the treehouse, Samantha leaves, declaring that she and Jake should fight another time.
