Jake and his daughter Charlie enter a doubles Card Wars tournament.

----
!!Tropes:


* CallBack: Jake points out people he knows at the tournament. All the names he mentions were in his phone contact list back in "My Two Favorite People".
* CharacterDevelopment: Although he has to exert great effort, Jake is no longer a SoreLoser when it comes to Card Wars, taking his loses gracefully.
** Charlie previews her entire life and ultimately melds with her "peaceful" 90-year-old self.
* ComboPlatterPowers:
** {{Sizeshifter}}: Charlie appears to have inherited this ability from her dad. She is able to grow almost as large as Ooo.
** {{Intangibility}}: She becomes insubstantial so she doesn't hurt anything when she walks back home.
* HasAType: Charlie ribs Jake that she thinks the horse is Jake's ex (he's definitely not very pleased she hooked up with the cat who beat him).
* HellIsThatNoise: Whenever Jake starts thinking about his Card Wars losses all the sound gets consumed by white noise, which is initially explained as the ocean.
* InterspeciesRomance: The giant cat and the blonde horse in the title card are a married couple in the present. If Charlie's extreme card reading vision is accurate she'll have a baby with a cat, though the father himself isn't seen.
* TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack: Jake has an argument with his reflection, which represents his 20-year-old self.
* NightmareFetishist: Charlie performs tarot readings and lives in the Egyptian Pyramids, speaking to mummies and skeletons as roommates. She asks for a bone in exchange for helping Jake in the tournament, and the way he nonchalantly gives her one of his distal phalanges implies this sort of behavior isn't even slightly unusual for her.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: BMO literally jumps ship when Jake mentions Card Wars.
--> NO! NOT TODAY! NO CARD WARS!
* ShoutOut: Jake's 20-year-old self is a UsefulNotes/{{punk}} with two "horns" of hair similar to the lead singer of Music/TheProdigy. Charlie's son looks like a red version of [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Squanchy the cat]].
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Charlie is a shorter, stouter version of her niece Bronwyn. They even wear similar light blue T-shirt "dresses".
* SuddenlyVoiced: This is the first time Charlie has a speaking role in an episode.
