In Adventure Time Season 3 Episode 19, titled "Holly Jolly Secrets, Part 1," viewers are treated to a two-part Christmas special that delves into the past of one of the show's main characters. Finn, Jake, and the rest of the gang stumble upon a series of VHS tapes hidden in the Ice King's castle. They quickly discover that the tapes contain the Ice King's secret video diary.
The episode begins with Finn and Jake attempting to hang out with the Ice King, but the villainous ruler is too busy guarding his secret treasure room to bother with them. The two adventurers take matters into their own hands and sneak into the room, where they find a box full of VHS tapes labeled "Property of Simon Petrikov."
Simon Petrikov is the Ice King's real name, and the tapes are a record of his life before he became the mad ruler of the Ice Kingdom. As Finn and Jake settle in to watch the tapes, viewers are taken on a journey through Simon's past.
The tapes show Simon as a kind and loving man who was once a devoted husband and professor of archaeology. However, things start to change when he discovers an enchanted crown during one of his expeditions. The crown gives Simon the power of ice, but it also starts to consume him, driving him mad and causing him to lose touch with reality.
As the tapes progress, viewers see Simon slowly transform into the Ice King, a lonely and deranged ruler who kidnaps princesses and battles Finn and Jake at every turn. The tapes end on a cliffhanger, with a shocking revelation about Simon's fate and a promise of even more secrets to be uncovered in part two of the Christmas special.
