Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Flame King breaks out of his prison and takes over the Flame Kingdom again, Flame Princess turns to the one person she believes she can trust… Finn! But will Finn be able to put his feelings for Flame Princess aside long enough to help her reclaim her throne?
Our Take
A frustrating one. Finn spends most of the episode moping and goofing off while Flame Princess does the actual work, and the story knows he’s blowing it, which makes it more painful than funny. Cinnamon Bun’s unlikely hero turn is the saving grace and gives the ending a surprisingly solid payoff. Worth it for that, but prepare to be annoyed with Finn.
