Finn and Jake hunt a shadowy predator and Marceline asks Princess Bubblegum for a favor.
Tropes:
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends as Marceline is soaked in sunlight.
- Ironic Echo: PB tells Marcy that when she dies she'll put her in the ground, in reference to Marcy's song telling PB the same thing in "What Was Missing".
- Special Edition Theme Song: The whole Stakes arc has one like the other mini-series.
- Tempting Fate: Marceline dropped her umbrella in the sunlight, trapping her under a tree, but has just enough sunscreen to reach out and get it... and then the wind blows the umbrella away.
- Torches and Pitchforks: The farmers decide to go after Marceline and consider wielding pitchforks, "mob style". One even has a combination torch and pitchfork.
- Wham Episode: Marceline decides she doesn't want to be a vampire anymore, and PB seems to grant that wish.
- What the Hell, Hero?: The villagers have Marceline strapped to a windmill blade awaiting sunrise, to Finn's chagrin. He calls out the leader, who realizes how terrible they're being, and implores Finn to save her.
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: PB and Marcy discuss that without being a vampire Marcy will grow old and die. Both seem to agree that it's a good thing.
