Finn and Jermaine head for Mars to rescue Jake from space.
Tropes:
- Call-Back:
- Finn uses the portal from "Sons of Mars" to get to Mars.
- Magic Man is now King of Mars, as seen at the end of the "Elements" arc.
- Finn is still bitter about Betty's betrayal during "Elements."
- The Ice Thing, the same mysterious creature from "Graybles 1000+", shows up during the second trial.
- Continuity Nod: the Manticore is still living in Magic Man's old home.
- Critical Psychoanalysis Failure: Not only does King Man fail to dissuade Betty from saving Simon, she uses the prospect of also saving Margles to convince him to help with her plan.
- Hugh Mann: Finn and Jermaine get into a temple only Martians are allowed to enter simply by putting on Martian hats and going by Martian-style names: "Boy Man" and "Jer Man".
- Ignored Epiphany: Normal Man tries to teach Betty that giving up on curing Simon would be best for her. But the trials only make her more determined to fix him.
- Overly Long Scream: Jermaine, not being used to adventure and excitement (let alone space travel), screams all the way to Mars when he and Finn use Normal Man's teleporter.
- Shout-Out: One of the books frozen in ice during the 2nd trial is "Simple Geometry", a quote made famous by Hanzo in Overwatch.
- Time Skip: 5 weeks have passed since the events of "The First Investigation."
- Wham Episode: If trying to change the timeline wasn't enough, Betty is going to summon GOLB in order to save Simon and Margles. And judging by Normal Man's reaction at the end, he's going with her.
