Gone Wishin' is the seventeenth episode of the first season of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. The episode focuses on wishes that Flapjack and Captain K'nuckles make using wish granting candy, that were stolen from a mermaid.
Plot[]
K'nuckles successfully steals the heart of the Mermaid Queen, which looks like a clear golden heart-shaped container filled with teardrop-shaped candies that can grant wishes. K'nuckles points out to Flapjack that they can use the candies to take themselves to Candied Island -- just as they're about to do that, Flapjack suggests some of the other wishes to have some fun during their last day in Stormalong Harbor.
K'nuckles first wish is to have golden eyeballs (which blinds him until he undoes the wish) while Flapjack's first wish is for one of his arms to be super muscular. The pair ends up making a bunch of random pointless wishes, and near the end of the day (around the time the sun is setting), Flapjack tries getting Bubbie to make a wish, but she declines, claiming that "When it comes to magic, there's always some horrible catch." Flapjack soon notices that the more wishes he and K'nuckles using the tears from the mermaid queen's heart, she dies a little.
Obviously not wanting the Queen of the Mermaids to die, Flapjack accidentally wishes he knew that he could he could save her with a wish. All the candy in the bowl is gone and there is still one in K'nuckles' hat and Flapjack's hat and he plans to use the teleportation wish to Candied Island to wish that the bowl was endless (Hence the mermaid becoming a zombie every time somebody wishes) but K'nuckles steals Flapjack's candy and wishes for a corn dog and a new hat (two items) and the mermaid finally dies.
Afterward, the mermaid's corpse turns into a skymaid. The skymaid leaves after giving Flapjack an explanation about how Skymaids are created and tells him to never stop wishing and all his dreams will come true (Flapjack replies "Even the scary ones?" and the skymaid replies in a creepy tone "yes.") She then briefly returns, telling K'nuckles that a hat and a corn dog are two things.

- The First time, K'nuckles had hair. But in a later episode, he stated that he didn't have any.
- When Bubbie said, “I wish you’d shut your mouth!” to K’nuckles, shouldn't the mermaid tear wish work on her?
- The mermaid is a parody of Mario character Rosalina.
