"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 (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, Finn and Jake become convinced that Princess Bubblegum is jealous of Finn's relationship with Flame Princess (voiced by Jessica DiCicco). In reality, Bubblegum is worried that Flame Princess will be unable to withstand romance without burning a hole in the Earth's crust.
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. Critically, the episode was met with positive reviews.
Although Finn and Flame Princess (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) have been in a relationship for awhile, Finn is unable to do more than hug her. Jake suggests that the next stage in a relationship is kissing. Eventually, Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch) discovers that Finn and Flame Princess are together, which terribly worries her; Flame Princess's elemental matrix is unstable, and if Finn tries to kiss her, she might react so violently that she would burn a hole through the core of the planet.
