Summer Showers is the fifteenth episode of the seventh season of Adventure Time. In this episode, Finn and Jake embark on a mission to collect a rare flower that only blooms during a summer storm. The episode begins with the duo enjoying a sunny day in the Land of Ooo when they suddenly hear a thunderclap. They realize that a summer storm is approaching, which means that the rare flower, which can cure any illness, is about to bloom. Finn and Jake decide to set out on a quest to find the flower before anyone else gets to it.
As they journey through the rain, Finn and Jake come across various obstacles, including lightning strikes and mudslides. They also meet a group of trolls who are also searching for the flower. The trolls reveal that they too need the flower to heal a sick member of their clan. Finn and Jake offer to help the trolls find the flower in exchange for some troll treasure. Together, they continue their search for the flower.
As they climb a steep mountain, Finn and Jake face their biggest challenge yet: a raging waterfall. They must somehow cross it to reach the other side. Finn comes up with a plan to use his sword to chop down a tree and create a makeshift bridge. However, as they are crossing, the tree breaks, and they fall into the water. Luckily, Finn and Jake are able to grab onto a branch and pull themselves to safety.
After their close call with the waterfall, Finn and Jake finally come across the flower and successfully retrieve it. They then make their way back to the trolls' lair to deliver the flower. Upon arriving, they realize that the sick troll is none other than Balthus, a troll who has caused trouble for Finn and Jake in the past. Despite their past conflicts, Finn and Jake still decide to give Balthus the flower out of their compassion for all of the trolls.
As Balthus drinks the flower's nectar, a miraculous transformation takes place. Balthus is healed, and he not only thanks Finn and Jake but also vows to be a better troll in the future. Overcome with emotion, Finn and Jake bid the trolls farewell and set off back towards their home in the Candy Kingdom.
The episode ends with Finn and Jake sitting on a cliff, overlooking the beautiful landscape of Ooo. They reflect on their adventure and how they were able to help the trolls, even though they initially planned to keep the flower for themselves. Finn realizes that sometimes it's more important to help others than to achieve personal gain. He and Jake then embark on a new adventure, eager to see what Ooo has in store for them next.
In conclusion, Summer Showers is a heartwarming episode that showcases Finn and Jake's compassion and willingness to help others. The episode's message about the importance of empathy and selflessness makes it a great addition to the Adventure Time canon. Overall, fans of the show will love this fun and exciting adventure.
