3	----
4	!!Tropes
5	* ActorAllusion: [[Creator/KeithDavid Flame King]] and [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper Don Jon]] have a [[Film/TheyLive long, random fist fight]].
6	* AsYouKnow: Flame King boasts that he cut a deal with Don Jon to be freed for Flame Princess' hand in marriage. He's whispering this in an aside to Don, who says he already knows.
7	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Ursula.
8	* BittersweetEnding: Flame Princess gets back her throne and Cinnamon Bun swears to serve her. However, Finn is forced to admit he blew his chance with Flame Princess.
9	* BodyguardCrush: Cinnamon Bun is Flame Princess's knight and in the end, he confesses his love for her and she reciprocates his feelings. He does this in front of Finn, who was trying to get back together with Flame Princess the entire episode.
10	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Flame Lord mind controls the citizens of the Fire Kingdom to take over.
11	* CallBack:
12	** Flame Lord, Flame King's friend, was one of the wizards seen in "Wizard Battle".
13	** Cinnamon Bun's friendship with Flame Princess blossoms into something more.
14	* CharacterDevelopment: Cinnamon Bun is much smarter and more heroic than he once was, to the point where he outdoes the distracted Finn in heroism.
15	* ContemplativeBoss: Flame King comments on it:
16	-->'''Flame King''': Man, I love staring out over things.
17	* TheDragon: Flame King has the Flame Lord break him out of his prison and help him take over the Fire Kingdom.
18	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Cinnamon Bun doesn't take too kindly to Finn's advances on Flame Princess, foreshadowing his feelings for Flame Princess.
19	* EvilVsEvil: Flame King and Don John can't work together for too long before going at each other's throats.
20	* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Even though they could capture Cinnamon Bun as well, the guards allow him to leave if [[MookChivalry he manages to outright them one on one]]. Justified by them being mind controlled by Flame Lord, who himself seems to like fist fighting.
21	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Flame King and Flame Lord have a brawl when Flame Princess refused to marry. Flame King end up knocking out Flame Lord, disabling his mind control over the flame citizens.
22	* KarmaHoudini: Ursula gets zero comeuppance for poisoning Flame Princess or it's [[UncertainDoom uncertain if she actually got some]].
23	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Subverted. Flame King goes into a MrExposition [[AsYouKnow about his plans to possibly the people watching the episode]], only to show Don Jon stating he knows all this already.
24	* LeeroyJenkins: Finn, due to his obsession to get back with Flame Princess, does things that aren't part of the plan and also jeopardizes Flame Princess' safety.
25	* LoveMakesYouDumb: Finn is so focused on impressing Flame Princess and getting back together with her that he becomes incompetent and does more harm than good.
26	* MindControlEyes: When Don Jon brainwashes the Flame Kingdom, they have deep green eyes [[WingdingEyes with maddening spirals]].
27	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Flame King gets into a fight with Don Jon and knocks him out, breaking Jon's trance on the citizens of the Flame Kingdom in the process and allowing the heroes to turn the tide.
28	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Don Jon resembles a round goat head demon, and his blue flames cause people to go BrainwashedAndCrazy.
29	* SealedEvilInACan: Flame King breaks out his prison, but is imprisoned again by the end of the episode.
30	* ShipSinking: This episode's entire purpose was to make it clear that the Finn/Flame Princess ship was not going to happen.
31	* ShoutOut:
32	** Don John shares his name with the aristocratic villain of ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing''.
33	** The fist fight between Flame King and Don John is a reference to the one between Nada and Frank in ''Film/TheyLive'', who were played by Keith David and Roddy Piper, who voice the two characters here.
34	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Ursula DISSAPPEARS after poisoning Flame Princess! And she's responsable for everything!
35	* TookALevelInBadass: Cinnamon Bun is now a competent warrior instead of a dimwitted ManChild. He actually more of a hero than Finn in this episode. It's implied that living in the Fire Kingdom has fully cooked, meaning he's no longer [[StealthPun half baked]].
36	* WhamEpisode: Flame King escapes from his prison, Flame Princess is being forced to marry someone called the Flame Lord and any chances of Finn getting back with Flame Princess are utterly dashed by Cinnamon Bun of all people.
37	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ursula dissappears after poisoning Flame Princess.
38	* WorfHadTheFlu: Flame Princess, a powerful fire elemental, was drugged before the takeover. This weakens her and impedes her fighting ability.
