Adventure Time S01E01: Slumber Party Panic (1)


Summary:

Princess Bubblegum w/Finn uses chemistry (incl. explosive diarrhea) to bring the dead candy people to life. Whoops! ZOMBIES... with a thirst for... SUGAR.

PB and Finn run to the Candy Kingdom, where the candy citizens are gathered in a ballroom and told that it is a big slumber party (so PB can make an antidote). Finn makes a royal promise not to tell anyone, because apparently candy people explode when they get super freaked out (Starchy blows up).

Finn keeps the secret from Jake, and they keep busy by playing Truth or Dare. Jake dares Finn to tell the secret. Finn figures out something is going on while the zombies begin to attack. Dance parties ensues as zombies start to break in.

Finn convinces everyone to cover their eyes, and they start swinging bats as if at pinatas. They kill all the zombies, and proceed to eat their guts.

Finn breaks the royal promise and the Guardians attack. The Gumball Guardians make Finn answer a simple math problem, and he avoids a severe punishment. The Guardians explode and everything seems to turn back in time to normal...

PB realizes she was too smart to finish the serum. The finished serum brings back all the dead relatives (and Starchy).

Analysis:

We find out that candy people blow up when scared really bad.

During T or D, We find out that Mr. Cupcake is chocolate under his wrapper.

Jake and Lady Rainacorn play 7 Minutes in Heaven (hasn't been established yet that they are a couple).

Breaking a royal promise is punishable by slave labor.

Starchy, while seemingly made from starch and possibly a potato, is actually a malted milk ball.

If Finn is still 12 (as established in the pilot), I am guessing PB is 19 at the youngest. 

Overall:

Good start to the series. Establishes PB as the ruler of the CK, and a chemist/mad scientist. Finn and Jake are just buddies, Tree Trunks makes an appearance. 

We see some simple glimpses into the CK, mainly that obv. everyone is made of candy and they have defensive capabilities with the large Gumball Guardians.
