"Burning Low" is the sixteenth episode of the fourth season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Cole Sanchez and Rebecca Sugar, from a story by Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, and Pendleton Ward. It originally aired on Cartoon Network on July 30, 2012.
The series follows the adventures of Finn, a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake, a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Finn and Jake become convinced that Princess Bubblegum is jealous of Finn's relationship with Flame Princess. But In reality, Bubblegum knows that Flame Princess's elemental matrix can't deal with extreme romance without burning a hole from Earth's crust to Earth's planetary core where Flame Princess will be thrown around by gravity until Flame Princess melts the Earth inside the planetary core.
The episode, which heavily deals with themes revolving around love and emotion, was originally light on humor, which necessitated series' creative director Adam Muto to insert various jokes and gags. The episode also features the short song "Bacon Pancakes", which has since become a fan favorite. "Burning Low" was seen by 3.504 million viewers, making it the highest-rated episode of Adventure Time that has ever aired and had viewing data. Critically, the episode was met with positive reviews.
