Ice King suffers a heartbreaking loss and it's up to Finn and Jake to find the culprit.

  • Call-Back: The kidnapper is Betty, wearing Magic Man's hat, and still with the powers she took from him.
  • Continuity Nod: When the kidnapper hooks up Gunther to the crown, you can see Orgalorg's face in his eyes.
  • Cut-and-Paste Note: The ransom note from Gunther's kidnapper.
  • Determinator: Ice King crosses a river of lava just to rescue Gunther.
  • Me's a Crowd: Jake tries shape-shifting into a horde of Jake clones in order to better catch the foxes. Given that they're all still connected together and none of the clones have eyes, it doesn't work out very well.
  • Needle in a Stack of Needles: The foxes have fake crowns made of tinfoil so the others can't find the real one.
  • Sequel Hook: Betty gives Ice King back his crown, but it's been modified somehow. Presumably, it's meant to restore Simon's sanity, assuming Betty herself hasn't gone crazy from Magic Man's power.
    • Notably, she did something to the right gem on the crown, which is missing in the future.
  • Tin-Can Telephone: The kidnapper communicates via a can on a string.
