Goliad

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Princess Bubblegum is concerned over her mortality, and reveals her designated successor to Finn and Jake. However, things get out of control when the heir turns against Princess Bubblegum.

Our Take

Genuinely one of the creepiest episodes the show has done, and it earns that creepiness instead of just going for shock. Goliad is a unsettling little villain, and the way the episode plays with ideas about power and inherited responsibility gives it real weight. Some of the classroom stuff drags a bit, but the ending lands hard. Worth your time, even if it leaves you a little cold.
