And so, the stage is set. The final pieces, in place.

A pseudo-New Yorker caption is submitted.
Its humor value, contested.

Elsewhere, a shape-shifting half-alien is sent to the stars.
One more treacherous father figure, overcome.

A pair of brothers and a tormented woman don funny hats.
A family member returned, but so too an obsession best left behind.
A plan, devised.

A boy and his dog embark on a mission of cute diplomacy.
Its success is short-lived.
A war, brewing.

This is the beginning of the end.

44 minutes of Adventure Time remain.
