2 | On Finn's birthday, an ordinary train ride becomes a murder mystery when several candy skeletons are found on board. |
3 | ---- |
4 | !! Tropes: |
5 | * BatDeduction: Finn accuses one of the other passengers of being behind the murders based on random words in the dictionary she was reading. |
6 | * BigNo: Finn gets one when he suddenly is found to be holding Jake's skeleton, believing that Jake has been murdered like all the others. |
7 | * BirthdayEpisode: Jake and the Candy People throw a party to help Finn celebrate his birthday. People start dying before they even get there. |
8 | * CurseCutShort: When one of Finn's suspects ends up dead. |
9 | -->'''Finn:''' Son of a--!\ |
10 | (''Cut to the outside of the train as [[SoundEffectBleep the whistle blows]]'') |
11 | * FakeMystery: There was never any murderer, it was a practical joke by Jake as a present to Finn with the rest of the passengers in on it. The broken track was ''not'' part of the plan, though thankfully everything works out. |
12 | * LightsOffSomebodyDies: Each time a train goes through a tunnel, a passenger gets StrippedToTheBone. |
13 | * NeverTheObviousSuspect: {{Subverted|Trope}} and {{Parodied|Trope}}, Finn was certain the creepy and mysterious conductor couldn't be the killer [[GenreSavvy solely because of this trope,]] in the end it was him [[DoubleSubverted but not really because it was all a prank.]] |
14 | * ShoutOut: |
15 | ** "Mystery Train" is a famously enigmatic RAndB song with a lot of creepy interpretations. The best known versions are by Junior Parker and Music/ElvisPresley, and it was also the title of a famous book of highbrow rock criticism by Greil Marcus. |
16 | ** To ''Manga/SoulEater''. The conductor skateboarding around the train is a reference to Death the Kid doing it in one episode of his series. |
17 | ** The train passengers being turned into skeletons is a shout-out to the famous ''Series/AdamAdamantLives'' episode "A Ticket to Terror". |
18 | * ThrillerOnTheExpress: The plot of the episode takes place on one. |
