Adventure Time season 10 episode 8, titled "Wheels / High Strangeness," follows Finn, Jake, and BMO as they go on two separate adventures. In the first half of the episode, "Wheels," Finn and Jake try to help a group of wheels who feel unwanted in a world that values limbs over roundness. The wheels are in search of a new leader, and they believe that Finn and Jake can help them find one. However, the duo quickly realizes that the wheels' standards for leadership are much different than their own, leading to a hilarious and ultimately heartwarming conclusion.
Meanwhile, BMO goes on an adventure of their own in "High Strangeness." After experiencing a strange dream involving a creepy version of Princess Bubblegum, BMO sets out to uncover the meaning behind their dream. Along the way, they come across a group of aliens who claim to have all the answers. However, as BMO delves deeper into the aliens' way of life, they begin to realize that not everything is as it seems.
The episode is full of Adventure Time's trademark humor, heart, and surrealism. "Wheels" in particular tackles themes of identity and acceptance, as the wheels struggle to find their place in a world that only values certain attributes. Meanwhile, "High Strangeness" plays with viewers' expectations and shows that even the seemingly inexplicable can have meaning. As always, Adventure Time is a show that rewards repeat viewings and close attention to detail, making "Wheels / High Strangeness" a standout episode in the show's final season.
