* TooDumbToLive: The first time Scarab attacks Simon in front of [=GOLBetty=] could be justified by him simply not knowing the connection. After she shakes with rage and smites him, though, ''continuing'' to attack Simon in front of [=GOLBetty=] seems a poor strategy.

* DreamIntro: Upon reentering their world, Fionna and Cake both have a dream that their world was reverted to its former, magical state. Upon returning to the city they lived in however, they found that their friends were suffering from the transformations that they underwent being corrupted, with Gary becoming a formless slime-like gum monster, Marshall burning to death in the sunlight, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Ellis P.'s insides being made of spaghetti]]. When they return to their apartment, Fionna opens the freezer to get some food, only to find a half-dead Simon inside asking if he gave them what they wanted. Everything is shown to still be normal when they wake up.

* BerserkButton: For [=GOLBetty=], it's messing with Simon. Once Scarab starts messing with Simon, she starts attacking him, and it's implied that he only lasted long enough to flee through the portal to Fionna's world because his immortality kept her from immediately killing him. This also applies to Simon himself, as her eyes irises shake in anger when he tries to become the Ice King again by putting the magic crown in his head, forcing her to transfer her beloved's mind into the future at the last moment to stop him and teach him a lesson.

After coming face to face with [=GOLBetty=], Simon finds his mind displaced into another body across time. Meanwhile, Fionna and Cake return to their old world and confide in Gary and Marshall Lee about their journey.

!!Tropes Include:
* AsteroidsMonster: [=GOLBetty's=] attempts to destroy Scarab, who is immortal, only split him into dog-sized beetle creatures. It's implied this could eventually be fatal since he's scared into escaping.
* BerserkButton: For [=GOLBetty=], it's messing with Simon. Once Scarab starts messing with Simon, she starts attacking him, and it's implied that he only lasted long enough to flee through the portal to Fionna's world because his immortality kept her from immediately killing him.
* TheBusCameBack:

** Similarly, the Pagelings from "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS3E22PaperPete Paper Pete]]" return in the Library and have turned feral due to most of the books being gone 1000 years in the future.
* CassandraTruth: It takes a while for Simon to convince Beth that he isn't Shermy, but an antiquarian from an alternate universe looking for a magical crown (that she never heard of).
* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends on the Scarab, fully reformed, blowing up Fionna's apartment and giving the [=Fionnaworld=] group a DeathGlare.
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: When Gary, Marshall Lee, and Hunter decide to accompany Fionna and Cake through a portal to find Simon, none of them consider the fact that one of them should stay and look after the Scarab to prevent the chances of them escaping imprisonment and reforming
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Scarab is haughty enough to demand [=GOLBetty=] not interfere with his mission, but when he messes with Simon she attempts to destroy him, scaring him into escaping into his head.
* DramaticIrony: Simon is transported into the mind of Shermy. He believes he is in an alternate universe, unaware that it is the far future of his homeworld.
