Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Princess Bubblegum subjects Flame Princess to a series of tests to gauge FP’s fiery tendencies. But when there’s an emergency at the treehouse, and PB leaves Cinnamon Bun to watch Flame Princess, her experiment might literally backfire in her face.
Our Take
This one leans into Bubblegum’s controlling side, and it’s more interesting for it. The episode works best when it lets Flame Princess push back instead of just being a test subject, though the Cinnamon Bun material runs a bit thin in spots. Worth a watch if you’ve been following Flame Princess’s arc, since it sets up some real shifts in her story.
