Finn wants to restart now, but overreacts over one tiny drop from one of the waves, and Finn agrees on Jake's decision. When Jake moves Finn's feet to help him get into the ocean, Finn jumps on Jake's head and yells at him to bring back on land. Jake decides to help and Finn with his fear. After the Fire Newt is defeated, Jake goes back on land and Finn tells Jake that he thinks he is afraid of the ocean, and wants Jake's help to overcome his fear. Suddenly, his bellybutton gurgles and out comes a dark, evil cloud-like entity called the Fear Feaster, who explains he is the manifestation of Finn's ocean fear and tells him that he can never be a hero if he cannot overcome his fear. They say that if newts steal boots, the penalty is 'poots on newts.' When Jake decides to fight the Newt by 'pooting' on it, he chases it into the ocean, but when Finn tries to catch up with Jake, Finn backs up from the waves and freaks out. The episode begins with a quote by ' Pat McHale': 'In the dark recesses of the mind, a disease known as FEAR feasts upon the souls of those who cannot overcome its power.'įinn and Jake chase a Fire Newt after he steals boots, similar to what Jake did in City of Thieves.

Finn discovers he's afraid of the ocean, so he enlists Jake's help to overcome his fear or risk failure.
