Ep 21. Marceline's Closet

Finn and Jake's close friend Marceline, the Vampire Queen, graces the screen in this episode of Adventure Time with Finn and Jake Season 3. In "Marceline's Closet," viewers are in for a wild ride as the two adventurous friends are on a mission to find something that can only be found in Marceline's closet.

The episode kicks off with Finn and Jake chilling at their treehouse, when an excited Marceline, wearing a bunny costume, shows up asking if they have seen her ax bass. After a brief conversation, the queen of the undead offers a trade with the two: her flashy boots for Finn's grass sword.

Jake eagerly agrees to the trade and puts on Marceline's boots, while Finn takes the ax bass. However, Marceline soon has a change of heart and wants to trade the boots back. The adventure starts when they head over to Marceline's closet. She opens the door to a secret room that Finn and Jake have never seen before and asks them to grab the boots so they can trade back. This task might seem simple enough, but the closet door slams shut behind them as soon as they enter, and that's when the real adventure begins.

The whole episode revolves around the characters exploring the spooky contents of Marceline's closet. The vampire queen is known for her love of music, so it's no surprise that her closet looks like an eerie rock-and-roll museum exhibit. The items in Marceline's closet prove to be a challenge for Finn and Jake as they are haunted by the contents inside, including an array of spooky creatures, beings, and supernatural puzzles.

As Finn and Jake continue their mission to retrieve the boots, they explore every nook and cranny of Marceline's closet. The walls of the space are decorated with posters featuring Marceline's undead band, the 'Marceline and the Scream Queens,' who pop up at various points of the episode. The duo also comes across a giant pink monster, a ghost that's drawn to hugs, and a door that asks riddles before it can be opened.

The group also encounters various apparitions and creatures who are hell-bent on keeping the boots for themselves, including some pesky laser eyes that follow them around. Finn and Jake's bravery, wit, and resourcefulness are put to the test as they solve each puzzle in the closet and remove each obstacle in their way. One of the standout moments in the episode is when Marceline herself appears inside the closet, running away from the same creatures that Finn and Jake are encountering.

As the story unfolds, Finn and Jake learn valuable lessons about themselves, each other, and their friendship. A small argument between the two friends leads to a moment where they end up hugging each other tightly, solving the ghost's riddle. The overall themes of the show of friendship and loyalty take center stage in this episode.

Fans of Marceline the Vampire Queen will enjoy seeing more of her character development, as the closet reveals several hidden items from her past - a skeleton with a "Daddy why did you eat my fries?" T-shirt that refers to a time when her father ate her fries, as well as the shirt from the episode, "I Remember You," where she sings her song, "Remember You," to her lost friend.

Overall, Marceline's Closet is a spooky adventure-filled episode of Adventure Time that is perfect for those who crave a thrilling and magical storyline that keeps them wanting more.
