2	Jake hurts Finn in a playful fight, bringing back painful memories from his childhood. Unfortunately, this takes place right before Finn is captured by crystal marauders from another dimension.
3	----
4	!!Tropes:
5	* AffablyEvil: For a bunch of ruthless mercenaries, the Crystal Guards are pretty friendly. (When Finn asks them if they're good or evil, one of them replies, "We're good.")
6	* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: Jake manages to turn Tree Trunks back to normal by punching her in the belly, causing her to spit up the Crystal Gem Apple.
7	* CallBack: Continues the events following Tree Trunks eating the Crystal Gem Apple in "Tree Trunks".
8	* ContinuityNod: Jake's remark about being "hopped up on magical power", especially with the AsideGlance he gives, seems to be a nod to the previous episode "Power Animal".
9	* EpiphanyTherapy: After a vision of his dad reveals that Jake was destined to "hurt everyone ''who is evil''", Jake remarks "Well, I'm over it now!"
10	* ForcedTransformation: Finn gets transformed into a Crystal Man so he can be Queen Quartzion's new king.
11	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Queen Quartzion, AKA Tree Trunks, who's gone mad with power after eating the Crystal Gem Apple.
12	* IfIHadANickel: Jake assures Tree Trunks "If I had a penny for every time someone went crazy-hopped-up on magical energy, I'd be Abraham Lincoln!"
13	* KickTheDog: Tree Trunks killing the otherwise loyal Crystal Guard.
14	* MindScrewdriver: Explains, to a degree, the GainaxEnding of "Tree Trunks".
15	* PunchClockVillain: The Crystal guards aren't inherently malign, they're just doing their job.
16	* SanitySlippage: Tree Trunks as the Crystal Queen.
17	* SequelEpisode: To "Tree Trunks", which explores on what happened to Tree Trunks after she ate the Crystal Gem Apple
18	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Finn tries to reassure Jake after he injures Finn in a fight.
19	-->'''Finn:''' You didn't mash my potatoes. You didn't even make me cry silently into my pillow for... (''thoughtful pause'') thirty minutes.
20	* TemporarilyAVillain: The MonsterOfTheWeek turns out to be Tree Trunks, who goes back to her usual nice self after Jake makes her throw up the crystal that was giving her power.
21	* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: Jake's pacifism is completely pointless, and it turns out he misinterpreted his dad's comments.
22	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Tree Trunks as the Crystal Queen is quite a lot less sane than usual, and much more malicious.
23	-->'''Finn:''' Tree Trunks! You've gone bananas with crystal power!\
24	'''Tree Trunks:''' [[TranquilFury Finn, it's not sexy for a king to call his queen "bananas"]].
25	* {{Yandere}}: Tree Trunks as the Crystal Queen takes her crush on Finn up a notch, trying to force him to marry her and be her "sexy crystal king".
26	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Tree Trunks blasts the Crystal Guards after they've brought Finn to her. Making it worse is that she does it while they're in the middle of praising her.
