In "Goliad", Princess Bubblegum creates a sphinx in hope that, when she dies, it will take her place as princess. Unfortunately, her plan goes awry when Finn and Jake try to make her a good leader, causing chaos in the kingdom...and Goliad.
This episode reminded me of the good kind of Season 1 AT episodes, with it's simplicity and nice touch. This episode had a premise I think I've seen once or twice before (A person with good intentions accidentally turns a person to evil), but once again, the writers are very smart with how they handled it, making a very nice twist out of it.
Goliad herself was really sweet, and her interactions with Finn and Jake felt natural. The pacing for this episode was great, which is something that previous episode in this season haven't been doing too well. I also appreciated the callbacks to previous episodes being part of the plot; the reason PB creates Goliad is initially because of her close to death encounter with the Lich.
This was a quite enjoyable episode overall; I especially liked when Finn attempted to not let Goliad read his mind, and Jake's attempts to calm the candy preschoolers. Both conversions felt funny but also like their personality, and kind of let us see how they deal with issues once again.
Wow, Finn has an easy dad life. All he has to do for his son is watch him eye-zap a sphinx for all eternity.
