Eventually, Flapjack realizes the value of true friendship and gives all his shells away to help his friends.

In the second half of the episode, "The Sweet Life," K'nuckles convinces Flapjack to search for a mythical candy island. After a series of misadventures, they stumble upon a seemingly perfect paradise filled with all the candy they could ever want.

They are ultimately chased off the island by a group of angry ants who are being impacted by the excess sugar consumption.
