Ep 20. King's Ransom

Finn and Jake set out on another epic adventure in the land of Ooo in "King's Ransom," the 20th episode of Adventure Time's seventh season. In this installment, the duo becomes embroiled in a power struggle over the Candy Kingdom's throne.

The episode opens with Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch) having a conversation with her pet dog, who informs her that the other residents of the Candy Kingdom are questioning her leadership abilities. Bubblegum, aware that she has been focusing more on her scientific experiments than ruling her kingdom, decides to show her subjects that she is still a capable ruler by organizing a charity event.

Meanwhile, Finn and Jake (voiced by Jeremy Shada and John DiMaggio, respectively) decide to embark on a treasure hunt. They come across a map that leads them to a mysterious dungeon, where they must solve a series of puzzles to obtain the treasure. Along the way, they encounter a group of goblins who have also come to the dungeon in search of treasure.

The goblins are initially hostile towards Finn and Jake, but they eventually strike a deal: Finn and Jake will help the goblins steal a treasure from the Candy Kingdom in exchange for a share of the loot. Finn and Jake agree, not realizing that the treasure in question is actually the Candy Kingdom's royal jewel, which is essential to Princess Bubblegum's leadership.

When Princess Bubblegum discovers that the royal jewel has been stolen, she enlists the help of Finn and Jake to retrieve it. They soon learn that the goblins are responsible for the theft and set out to confront them. However, the goblins have already given the jewel to the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), who had agreed to help them in exchange for a favor.

In order to reclaim the jewel, Finn and Jake must negotiate with the Ice King and convince him to return it to the Candy Kingdom. Along the way, they learn that the goblins are not as malevolent as they first appeared and that the Ice King has his own motivations for getting involved in the situation.

"King's Ransom" is a fast-paced, action-packed episode that showcases Adventure Time's trademark surreal humor and inventive storytelling. The episode's plot is complex and engaging, and the characters are as likable and relatable as ever. As always, the animation is top-notch, with vibrant colors and fluid movement that bring the world of Ooo to life.

Overall, "King's Ransom" is a standout episode of Adventure Time that will appeal to both longtime fans of the show and newcomers alike. With its blend of humor, adventure, and heartfelt moments, this installment encapsulates everything that makes Adventure Time such a beloved series.
