History Recap / AdventureTimeS8E6JellyBeansHavePower

* BeYourself: This is how PB goes about her powers. Chadsbury tells her that she has to walk in her own shoes, and PB is able to summon soda pop and scotch mints by breaking down their chemical components and generating those, as opposed to just trying to force the end results.

Princess Bubblegum’s scientific mind must wrestle with her Elemental magic potential when she’s faced with a Crystal Entity.

* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Bubblegum is able to use her chemical knowledge to control her power over candy, specifically by thinking of the component ingredient of soda and bicarbonate to form [[HavingABlast an explosive mixture]] of the two.

* MundaneUtility: To show off her powers to Slime Princess, Bubblegum shoots a stream of jelly beans ricocheting across the room to move the sugar bowl over to Slime Princess. It takes forever and she's clearly exhausted by the end.

* SpiritAdvisor: Seeing a quartered circle, representing the for elements, sends PB into a trance where she consults Chatsberry on how to use her power.

* DestructiveSavior: PB's initial attempts at fighting the Crystal Entity do roughly the same amount of damage to the Candy Kingdom as the Entity itself. The people don't seem to mind... until the Entity explodes, devastating the surroundings in a brutal aversion of NoEndorHolocaust.

** FourIsDeath: The first number called out is four; the Crystal Entity shoots out four "spears" that cause a lot of damage.
* YouWereTryingTooHard: Bubblegum [[HowDoIShotWeb can't use her powers for much]], not even what's demonstrated to her by a past life in a dream, because she assumes her power is something new and tries to force it. It's only when she starts to examine it scientifically, [[BeYourself as she would for most things]], that PB finds a natural and effective method.

* ShoutOut: ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' also had a [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E4SiliconAvatar Crystal(ine) Entity]] who the characters try to talk to before destroying.

* WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: The Crystal Entity, which is shaped like a cootie catcher, asks for a number. Bubblegum asks what ding-dong would be stupid enough to fall for such an obvious trap, and at that moment the candy people start calling out numbers, triggering the Crystal to attack.

* SequelHook: Patience St. Pim in Simon's castle, planning her revenge on the other elementals who rejected her.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When the Crystal Entity explodes, a humanoid silhouette can be seen in the resulting smoke cloud. It's [[Recap/AdventureTimeS7E33Elemental Patience St. Pim]], who was evidently controlling it remotely.

* DestructiveSavior: PB's initial attempts at fighting the Crystal Entity do roughly the same amount of damage to the Candy Kingdom as the Entity itself. The people don't seem to mind.
* FreezeFrameBonus: When the Crystal Entity explodes, a humanoid silhouette can be seen in the resulting smoke cloud. It looks like [[Recap/AdventureTimeS7E33Elemental Patience St. Pim]].
