Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jake feels overwhelmed at not having enough time for Finn and his girlfriend, Lady Rainicorn, so he tries to get them to hang out more. Eventually, Finn and Lady Raincorn become closer than Jake is comfortable with, and he starts feeling jealous.

Our Take

A fun early episode that mines real comedy out of Jake’s jealousy without getting mean-spirited about it. The Finn and Lady Rainicorn hangout scenes are genuinely funny, especially once the translation issue comes into play, and the ending lands with a nice bit of honesty about friendship. Solid, light entertainment that shows why the Finn and Jake dynamic works so well.
