Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake follows the journey of Fionna, Cake, and Simon, who set out to bring magic back to their planet. They travel across numerous realms and parallel universes on their mission, where they face cosmic obstacles, form new allies, and ultimately canonize their world in the epic series finale.
Five years after the spectacular Adventure Time series conclusion, fans of the magical universe were presented with the fun spin-off Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. This ten-episode voyage around the cosmos gave fans cherished memories with mixed humor, adventure, and deep topics.
As we say goodbye to the first season, let's relive the series with a recap and explain the fantastic conclusion to the first season.
Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake: The story so far
As we say goodbye to the first season, let's relive the series with a recap and explain the fantastic conclusion to the first season. At the beginning of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, our duo, isn't the heroic pair we remember them to be from the original series in Ice King's fan fiction. Instead, they're a regular cat and a young adult having trouble with her work.
Since Simon Petrikov quit becoming Ice King, their reality has changed into a boring world with no magic. However, to resurrect his late love, Betty, Simon performs a ceremony that goes south. Instead, he brings Fionna and Cake into the kingdom of Ooo, where Cake recovers her voice and magical abilities.
In hopes of reviving magic in their fictional realm, Fionna, Cake, and Simon set off on a multiversal journey in search of a new Ice Crown with assistance from Prismo (who is revealed to be the original creator of the gender-flipped universe).
The Scarab, a cosmic auditor who wants to wipe out Fionna and Cake's reality for being "non-canonical," is constantly pursuing the trio throughout Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake as they try to seek out their objective.
The magicless realm “Fionna-world” has affected the other gender-swapped characters from the series. Marshall Lee, a guitarist, falls in love with candy maker Gary Prince while assisting him in raising money for a new baking company while still living in the world of Fionna and Cake.
Finally, in episodes 7 and 8 of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, our trio finds hope and new obstacles. In a reality that the Lich has wiped out, Fionna discovers the Ice Crown.
She first hides it from Cake and Simon out of concern for their safety, but once he has finished the ritual to bring them back to the world within his brain, she gives it to Simon to wear. Just as Simon is ready to don the crown, the Scarab catches onto him, but they are both pulled into another dimension.
Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake: Episode 9 and series finale explained
Our beloved duo returns to their home world in "Casper and Nova," episode 9 of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, with an equal share of joy and apprehension around the reinstatement of magic.
They learn that Marshall and Gary are now dating, but they are concerned that reinstating magic will destroy their relationship. Fionna makes a reference to their counterparts from the parallel reality who also experienced love in an effort to reassure them. But she starts to wonder if trying to stop the changes in her world is the best course of action.
Simon is getting ready to don the Ice Crown while Fionna-world is still without magic. But he encounters GOLBetty, a hybrid of his ex-girlfriend and a chaos god, before he can. The Lich is destroyed by GOLBetty, who also transforms him into a floating block.
She then transfers Simon's mind into Shermy’s, a character from the Adventure Time series finale "Come Along with Me." He sets off on a mission as Shermy in a choose-your-own-adventure book with the characters Casper and Nova to learn more about ancient talismans.
While Simon's consciousness is transferred, his body stays frozen. The cosmic auditor, Scarab, transforms into a swarm of little bugs that enter Fionna and Cake's reality via the gateway in Simon's skull. Ellis P. accidentally releases the bugs after trying to trap them, which permits the Scarab to regroup.
In episode 10 of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, titled "Cheers," we go into more detail on Simon-Shermy's experiences in the book. He continuously makes decisions that endanger Nova to impart to a crucial lesson to Simon regarding his previous relationship with Betty. As he insisted on getting his way, Simon could not recognize the significant sacrifices Betty had made on his behalf.
After a bloody struggle, Cake defeats the Scarab and frees the cosmic beings it imprisoned. The Scarab reclaims his crystal and begins erasing the universe. Simon, at last, answers Fionna's calls at this crucial time.
He is prepared to put on the Ice Crown, but Fionna talks him out of it. She doesn't think it's worth risking his sanity, and she prefers to keep the world as it is today versus bringing back an earlier, magical era she can't recall. Realizing the enormous burden the crown holds, Simon throws it away.
In an unexpected turn of events, GOLBetty turns Simon's universe into a dandelion. Fionna receives the dandelion from Simon through the head portal that is now active. She gives the universe's inhabitants power with a soft breath, essentially "making" it "canon." The Scarab still remains a threat even though this move weakens his weaponry.
GOLBetty hurls Simon across space, returning him to Ooo, while Prismo calls upon friends from Fionna and Cake's past adventures to aid in the final battle against the Scarab. Fionna transforms into a giant with a fruit that alters size, defeating the cosmic auditor.
We see the characters that joined Fionna's realm during the last fight deciding to stay in a touching musical montage. Gary realizes his ambition of owning a prosperous bakery. Ayoung reader of Simon's novels creates "Casper and Nova," the Scarab is forced to work for Prismo as punishment, and both Simon and Fionna discover happiness in their own worlds.
The final scene
The last scene of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is a moving examination of personal responsibility, self-awareness, and the importance of accepting one's position in the cosmos. It sends a powerful message that sometimes, the enchantment we seek lies in valuing and claiming the world as our own.
Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake's first season has successfully concluded, leaving fans optimistic and eager for what comes next. As we wait for news of a prospective Adventure Time Fionna and Cake season 2, it is evident that the creators have left numerous hints in season 1 for more research of Fionna and Cake's exploits.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the possibility of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Season 2, the following episodes will have an exciting backdrop because of the unanswered questions from Season 1, the fate of Fionna-World, and the mysterious glitch in Prismo's operations.
