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 begins second-guessing his relationship with Flame Princess, so he builds a giant pillow fort. While navigating it, Finn seemingly falls asleep and dreams that he ends up in a pillow world where he marries a pillow woman named Roselinen (Siegfried) and has two children with her. In the pillow world, Finn grows old and dies, only to wake up in the real world. He soon receives a call from Flame Princess, reaffirming their relationship.

Years later, Finn and Roselinen have married and had two children, Bonnie and Jay.

Finn thinks of Jake and decides he does not want to leave the pillow world. Eventually, he grows into an old man and dies surrounded by family. His spirit flies through a darkened realm, encounters the being GOLB, and he emerges in the pillow fort, a teenager again.

Production
"Puhoy" was written and storyboarded by Tom Herpich and Steve Wolfhard, from a story developed by series creator Pendleton Ward, Patrick McHale, and Kent Osborne.[2] According to Osborne, this is one of the few episodes that the writers successfully developed by playing the game exquisite corpse.[3] The episode was co-directed by Nate Cash and Nick Jennings; the former was credited as "supervising director", whereas the latter handled the art direction.[2] The episode guest stars Mandy Siegfried as Roselinen, Jonathan Frakes as Adult Finn, and Wallace Shawn as the oracle Rasheeta. Herpich noted that he was very pleased to cast Shawn, noting, "Big thanks to [Wallace Shawn] … who I finally got to cast in the show, thus shortening my bucket list."[4] Wolfhard designed adult Finn to be reminiscent of Howard Keel's character from the 1954 musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.[5] Wolfhard explained that the allusion was due to the fact that the musical is one of his personal favorites.[6] In addition, Roselinen's design was based on Wolfhard's wife, Leslie, according to both Wolfhard and former character designer Andy Ristaino.[7]
