Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After Jake steals one of the Witch’s donuts, she steals Jake’s powers and won’t give them back unless he apologizes to her. During a series of events trying to find a way to get Jake’s powers back, Finn’s life is then held on the line, but will Jake’s new laziness get the best of him?

Our Take

A middling early episode that leans too hard on Jake being lazy as the whole joke, and it wears thin fast. The witch is a fun character and the donut-apology setup has its moments, but Finn’s subplot feels like filler. Fine for a lazy watch, though you won’t miss much skipping it.
