Ep 20. Go With Me

In Adventure Time season 2 episode 20, titled "Go With Me," Finn and Jake try to help their friend Marceline find a new boyfriend. Marceline, a vampire queen and musician, is left feeling lonely after her latest break-up, and Finn and Jake are eager to cheer her up and find her someone new.

The trio decides to attend the "Mallow Tea Ceremony," a popular event in the Candy Kingdom where couples go to spend time together. Finn and Jake believe that this is the perfect opportunity for Marceline to meet someone, but she refuses to go with them. Marceline wants to attend the ceremony on her own terms and doesn't want to be set up with someone.

Finn and Jake refuse to take no for an answer and come up with a plan to convince Marceline to go to the ceremony with them. They decide to ask Princess Bubblegum to go with them as their fourth member, making it seem like they're all going as friends instead of a date. Marceline agrees to go after she learns that Princess Bubblegum will be attending as well.

The rest of the episode follows Finn and Jake as they try to teach Marceline how to behave at the ceremony, including showing her how to be more lady-like and choosing the perfect dress for her to wear. Marceline, who is usually rough-around-the-edges and prefers to do things her own way, resists the pair's attempts to make her conform to societal norms.

Along the way, the group encounters several obstacles, such as a group of rude teenagers who try to kick them out of the ceremony and a giant bear who nearly ruins their plan. Despite these setbacks, Finn, Jake, Marceline, and Princess Bubblegum persevere, making their way to the ceremony.

At the tea ceremony, Marceline finally lets her guard down and opens up to the group, revealing her vulnerability and loneliness. The friends all bond over their shared experiences and present themselves as an unbreakable group. Marceline realizes that she doesn't need a boyfriend to be happy and that having true friends is the most important thing.

"Go With Me" is a heartwarming episode that explores the importance of friendship and the value of being true to oneself. It showcases the strengths and flaws of each character, allowing them to grow and bond with one another. This episode is a great example of what makes Adventure Time such a beloved and enduring series.
