2Finn finds an old truck, and Jake calls Banana Man to help with the repairs. But when BMO stays up all night working on the truck, he hears on a spooky radio talk show that Princess Bubblegum is a reptilian replicate.
3----
4!! Tropes
5* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: Banana Man explains how a petrol engine works, but the truck is then stated to run on diesel (which means it wouldn't have spark plugs).
6* AscendedExtra: Banana Man gets ADayInTheLimelight in this episode.
7* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The Bubblegum impostor's true form is a large pink lizard.
8* CallBack: Banana Man from [[Recap/AdventureTimeS3E18TheNewFrontier The New Frontier]] is called in by Jake to fix the truck.
9* CarFu: Finn ends up getting the Banana Man to crash their new truck into the giant shapeshifting lizard that impersonated Princess Bubblegum.
10* ChekhovsSkill: If a banana can make a functioning rocket, surely he knows about auto mechanics, right?
11* ContinuityNod: Banana Man notes that Jake once [[Recap/AdventureTimeS3E18TheNewFrontier destroyed his land, home and rocket in his attempt to commit suicide as prophesied by the Cosmic Owl.]]
12* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Starchy and BMO turn out to be right about PB having been replaced by a lizard.
13* ADayInTheLimelight: Banana Man from "The New Frontier" gets to be one of the main cast in this episode.
14* FakeKing: Double Subverted. Starchy suggests that PB has been replaced by a shape-shifting lizardoid imposter, in a reference to common conspiracy theories, but it turns out to be true.
15* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Banana Man turns out to be very lonely.
16* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: BMO exposes the lizard by tempting it with a bug.
17* InstructionalDialogue: Banana Man gives a lecture on how petrol-engine cylinders work.
18* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Played with, Banana Man shows the viewers how a car cylinder works, but Finn can't see the animation and thinks he's pointing at nothing.
19* NonMammalMammaries: The female Banana Guard has breasts.
20* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: The Bubblegum impostor who mimics the real one.
21* ReptilianConspiracy: A classic one turns out to be impersonating PB.
22* SeriesContinuityError: Cinnamon Bun is in the mob chasing PB, despite choosing to stay in the Fire Kingdom in "Earth & Water".
23* {{ShapeShifting}}: The Bubblegum impostor could perfectly mimic Bubblegum until BMO reveals its identity by [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten tempting it with an insect]].
24* ShowWithinAShow: BMO and Banana Man listen to "Graveyard Shift", a late-night cryptid/conspiracy show hosted by Starchy the Gravedigger, where they learn about the conspiracy that Princess Bubblegum has been replaced by a lizard-person.
