Back inside the Treehouse, Jake now had two new pieces of bread and a wilted leaf of lettuce as he was still working on a replacement sandwich, in case Magic Man was gonna eat his if they weren't gonna be able to retrieve the original PERFECT Sandwich.

"Oh... Maybe... Maybe it's just as good!" Jake said to himself as he put the sandwich together and took a bite, but much to his disgust, he spat it out and threw the sandwich on the floor. "It's terrible!"

But poor Jake eventually started to break down and cry, feeling the agony of defeat, feeling like he was NEVER gonna get the chance to enjoy his ONLY PERFECT Sandwich for his lunch.

"Dang you, Magic Man!" Jake cried in anger and defeat. "You took my one and only!"

He just took a bag and headed outside sadly, where Marceline now joined them as Pearl tried using her spear to try and pop the time bubble.

"See..." Marceline said to the others. "I think the molasses must be protected by some sort of chemical..."

"Hey, Jake. How're you holding up?" Steven asked as he walked up to him.

"Not too well, Steven." Jake sadly replied. "BMO looks cool, though."

"Don't be sad." Marceline added in encouragement as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Marceline's got a great plan." Bubblegum added with a smile.

"Yeah, man!" Finn agreed.

"What's your plan?" Jake sighed in curiosity.

At that moment, Marceline then transformed into her demonic form, which was a GIANT WINGED BEAST! The sight was SO OMINOUS, it frightened Steven a little bit while hiding behind Drawer, who protected his BFF, as a good friend should do.

"DEMON JUICE!" Marceline said in her demonic deep-speaking tone as she then jumped up into the air, growled and began elbow-dropping right into the sphere behind BMO, which made him look a LOT more sicker than before as he was still falling.

"I think these plans are making BMO look even cooler." Drawer added as he took a picture on his iPhone. "Boy, Fish Steven will LOVE this."

But then, to speed up the grieving process, Jake just took some candles out of the bag and began to light them, thinking that he wasn't gonna get his sandwich back from Magic Man at all.

"Hey, man." Finn added. "What are you doing?"

"I'm lighting these candles so I can move on with the grieving process." Jake sadly replied. "I made them with the leftover bacon fat from my sand..."

But he was so upset and he just cried, feeling the worst he had ever felt, but the others were not gonna give up hope at all.

"I am not giving up." Finn added in comfort as he took out his phone again. "Let's see. Who should I call? Ice King? Shelby? Tree Trunks?"

"Tree Trunks?!" Jake exclaimed in shock. "No, man, don't call Tree Trunks! What's she gonna do, bake an apple pie?! Don't you get it?! It's over. It's over, and I've never been so sad. And you know what? I got to deal with it."

He then walked into the sphere... but surprisingly, he actually didn't slow down, he was the opposite speed, he was moving at his normal rate of speed, causing Drawer, Steven and the others to be extremely surprised!

"Jake! Look!" Steven gasped in amazement.

"What?!" Jake asked in shock. "But how?!"

"Because you've never been this sad!" Finn replied.

"That's probably what Magic Man meant by your face showing 7:20, or as some people call it, a sad face." Drawer added as he started putting the pieces of the riddle together in his mind.
