2	Sweet P. deals with possible Lich related nightmares, while Fern begins to crack under his own insecurity.
3	----
4	!!Tropes:
5	* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: ''Heavily implied.'' The Lich has mentioned how Finn has bested him in ''many worlds.'' Recall how the Lich's hand was scattered across the Multiverse in "Crossover." This seems to mean that the Finn of each universe defeated their invasive and/or home Lich. Definitely adds a lot of weight to the meaning of the Lich as Finn's archnemesis.
6	* BeYourself: Finn's advice to Fern, who's having trouble with, well... everything. It doesn't work and Fern decides he doesn't want to be himself, he wants to be Finn!
7	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Who would have thought that the Lich would be destroyed once and for all by sweet little Sweet P? Granted, he's technically the Lich's former body, and he is physically strong, but still...
8	* BigDamnHeroes: Finn is rescued from the Lich by none other than Sweet P.
9	* BittersweetEnding: The Lich is defeated again seemingly for good and Sweet P doesn't become evil, but Fern decides that he needs to [[KillandReplace become the only Finn]] after one too many failures.
10	* CallBack:
11	** To "Crossover". The Lich's hand that Finn chopped off back then is the one tormenting Sweet P.
12	** To the "Elements" arc. Fern is beating himself up for not being able to save Ooo from St. Pim's spell.
13	** Finn tells the Lich to get ready to die for the fifth time. By this point, he's been slain via [[ThePowerOfLove the power of like liking someone]], [[LiterallyShatteredLives Princess Bubblegum shattering after being frozen]], [[ReviveKillsZombie the Citadel Guardians' healing blood]], [[{{BFG}} The Maid]], and now [[AntiAntiChrist Sweet P pretending to become his minion before twisting the blade on him]].
14	* CloneAngst: Fern is taking all of his failures very hard, so he concludes in the end of the episode that the only way to be a success is stop being himself and be Finn; so he decides to get rid of Finn and become the ''only'' Finn.
15	* DespairEventHorizon: Fern hits this when he fails to stop the hand.
16	* TheDogBitesBack: Sweet P. is able to break from the Lich's control and slay him.
17	* FailureHero: Fern, and he's not taking it well.
18	* FlatCharacter: Finn accuses the Lich of being this; the Lich counters that this means he knows exactly who he is.
19	* GreenEyedMonster: Fern is very envious of Finn, and is willing to take [[IJustWantToBeYou the next logical step]].
20	* IHaveManyNames: The Lich gives two: The Ceaseless Wheel, and the Last Scholar of GOLB.
21	* IJustWantToBeYou: The episode ends with Fern deciding that he wants to replace Finn.
22	* IsThisThingStillOn: Finn is leaving a message on Jake's voicemail when he attacks the Lich. Apparently he left the phone on and it recorded the entire battle, as a confused Jake is listening to it near the end.
23	* LampshadeHanging: As Finn chases the Lich hand he yells at it to get ready to die... for like the fifth time!
24	* NotNowKiddo: Everyone thinks Sweet P is just having nightmares when he says someone is whispering bad things while he's sleeping. Turns out it's the Lich's hand.
25	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Played with. Sweet P acknowledges that he has destructive potential slumbering within him...but he doesn't have to use it the way the Lich does.
26	* SequelHook: Fern ends the episode stewing over his failures at ''everything'' and decides [[Main/ThereCanBeOnlyOne he needs to kill Finn and replace him.]]
27	* ShutUpHannibal: Finn cuts off the Lich's EvilGloating with BlahBlahBlah.
28	* WhamLine:
29	** The Lich reveals that he is the "last scholar of GOLB." This not only confirms that GOLB is a malicious entity if not downright TheAntiGod, but it points out that there is an even greater villain beyond the Lich and grants a a minor bit of information on who the final threat of the show will be.
30	** Courtesy of Fern: "It doesn't matter how hard I try, I'll always just be in the shadow of the real Finn. Unless I could become... [[KillAndReplace the]] ''[[KillAndReplace only]]'' [[KillAndReplace Finn]]."
31	* WhamShot: Sweet P. stabbing the Lich's hand.
