"The Winter King" is the sixth episode of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake.
Fionna and Simon discover their best selves, and a possible solution to all their problems, in a wintery kingdom. Marshall Lee helps Gary with a baking project.
In Fionna-world, Gary Prince knocks on Fionna's door to her apartment and asks why she hasn't texted him back since she was supposed to help him shop today. When Gary goes inside, he sees Fionna's apartment is messy and assumes that she's been robbed. Marshall Lee comes out of her bathroom shower to tell him that this is just the way she lives. Gary is freaked out by Marshall Lee and wonders who he is. After Marshall Lee introduces himself, he asks Gary who he is.
Meanwhile in another alternate reality known as Winterworld, Simon, Fionna and Cake are beamed into an ice kingdom and are immediately pursued by the Scarab, who tagged along with the three after the events of the previous episode. They're immediately saved by a mysterious ice wizard known as The Winter King, who freezes the Scarab in place. Fionna is enamored by him and Simon realizes that the Winter King is an alternate version of himself. After the Winter King introduces himself, Cake takes his crown and runs off but is caught and brought back by one of the Winter King's double giants. Fionna insists that Cake didn't mean any harm. The Winter King is amused that the cat is named Cake and asks Fionna who she is. After Fionna introduces herself, she tells him that the reason they need his crown is to make Simon cursed and magical again in order to bring magic back to their world and protect it. Simon agrees with Fionna when the Winter King asks if it's true. The Winter King says while they can't take his crown, he has a solution to their problem. Fionna tells him that although it sounds nuts, she thinks she's been dreaming about him and he says he's not surprised - he's radical.
The Winter King invites Simon, Fionna and Cake inside and Simon is surprised by the way the Winter King's throne room looks. The Winter King says his entire throne room is made of clear ice and Fionna (who's shivering along with Cake) says she can tell. The Winter King has some of his Ice Scouts bring some hot chocolate for his guests. Simon asks the Winter King how he's so functional if he’s just another cursed Simon. In song, the Winter King claims that he was once like Simon was when dealing with the madness of the crown, dealing with the insanity until he used a force of sheer will power to regain his sanity, fashion his dreams and build his kingdom. Simon wonders how his alternate self conquered the madness since it's so hard to resist the crown's power and do something really wonderful. The Winter King claims that making something wonderful is as easy as manifesting his own reality and offers to show him how.
After finishing his song, he tells Simon that once he makes a duplicate magic crown, Fionna-world will be restored to its former state. Fionna asks the Winter King if he tinkers with the original curse then will she be able to fight in the new version since she got stomped in the last one. The Winter King gives Fionna an ice sword and has some Ice Scouts attack to test her abilities before having them stand down. Fionna is amazed since she was able to defend herself better than she did before. Cake asks if there's anything she desires since he's giving out gifts so she asks him to charge Fionna's phone. He does so and it's not only at 100%, it has signal now. Fionna sees a bunch of texts from Gary. Fionna finally responds to Gary that she's okay and the man in her apartment is Marshall Lee.
Back in Fionna-world, Gary is relieved that Fionna is okay but is upset that she's flaking out on him again. Marshall Lee says that Fionna gets flighty. Gary goes to leave and tells Marshall Lee that he has a ton of errands and baking to do. Marshall Lee asks if Gary was the one who made the bag of biscuits Fionna was carrying around and says that they were good. Gary thanks him and Marshall Lee asks if there's food where he's heading. Gary says probably so Marshall Lee decides to leave with him and asks if he's ever heard of this place called "JOY". After they leave, Ellis P. suddenly comes out from underneath Fionna's bed and says to bring him back something.
Back in Winterworld, Simon asks the Winter King if he's sure it's not too much trouble and he responds by telling Simon to relax and it'll take just one week to make a duplicate crown in his laboratory. Cake is incredulous but Fionna tells her not to be rude. The Winter King tells them in the meantime they should feel free to partake in the pleasures of the Winter Kingdom. Cake tells Fionna that they should check out a Candy mountain since it looks gnarly but the Winter King tells her no because that place is forbidden but he quickly corrects himself and says it can be dangerous out there.

•The Winter King resembles the Princess Bubblegum from the original universe. Both are intellectual, have a science lab and a prosperous kingdom. They also had a common enemy who was the perfect opposite of each other between the timelines. The PB of this universe is the equivalent of the Ice King kidnapping instead of PB, the Winter King.
•The reverse roles parallel with the main timeline is also depicted visually. The Candy Queen's kingdom had giant ice cream cones with a shape referencing the mountains from the Ice Kingdom.
•One concept art from Steve Wolfhard has a note saying the Winter Kingdom's Ice Scouts have pikes and hair bits "to connect them to the Banana Guards".
•Candy Queen having an unhealthy crush on the Winter King mirrors the early seasons of the original show when the Ice King was obsessed with Princess Bubblegum. She also had a keyboard just like the Ice King had.
•One concept from Steve Wolfhard reveals that while the Winter King projected the crown's madness effect onto Princess Bubblegum, his mind still had some minor effects from it, so he just attenuated them. This can explain why he seemed to have forgotten Betty, since this is known to be one of the effects of the crown.
•Although this was not present in the episode, artist Steve Wolfhard revealed that the executive producer Adam Muto thought some minor lore behind the Baby World seen at the end of the episode: BMO's wish to Prismo resulted in this world, but he ended up turned into a baby monitor.
