- Indirect Kiss: After Finn and Flame Princess direct kiss caused FP to burn through the Earth's crust, Finn decided to kiss a rock and give it to FP where she also kisses the rock.
- Master of the Mixed Message: Due to poor communication on Jake's part, and some very poor choice of words on PB's part, Finn mistakenly believes that PB is expressing her love for him after he's moved on to another partner:Princess Bubblegum: Finn, sometimes you want someone and you want to kiss them, and be with them. But you can't, because responsibility demands sacrifice.Finn: What are you trying to say?!Princess Bubblegum: I'm trying to say that you're a hero, Finn. You're my hero.

- Shout-Out: The idea of Flame Princess burning through the Earth's crust and destroying the world is identical to the big world-ending event looming over everyone in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, only in Flame Princess' case, it's because of strong emotions, while in Godzilla's case, his heart had gone into a literal nuclear meltdown thanks to being overwhelmed by the energy he received from a dying Rodan in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, as well as overexerting himself while using said energy to kill SpaceGodzilla.
- Too Much Information: Jake's descriptions of the "tiers" of romantic/sexual interaction include ones that are rather specific to female Rainicorns.

Do you have any idea how much he's cried over you?! Finn deserves to be happy, even if his boobin' face gets burned off! You should be ashamed! You're sick!
- Wham Line: "This isn't about some petty love triangle! Flame Princess is physically unstable!"
