List of episodes

"Gotcha!" is the twelfth 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 June 18, 2012.

The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Lumpy Space Princess (voiced by Ward) goes undercover working for Finn and Jake in order to do research for her tell-all memoir about men. She eventually learns that Finn is selfless, which makes him "hot on the inside".

For inspiration, Sugar and Sanchez watched poorly made romantic comedies with Osborne during their lunch breaks. "Gotcha!" was watched by 2.392 million viewers, and received largely positive critical reviews, with Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club applauding the episode's dialogue and voice acting.
