Back in the trailer, the leaders were still trapped in cages.

Queen Essence said, "Let's not panic. We must all stay strong if we're going to make it out of this."

Delta said, "Yeah! Things might look bad, but we've actually been through worse."

Trollzart said, "Yeah, like when we thought our music was lost forever."

Barb blushed and said, "Oh, you had to bring that up."

Trollex said, "You guys are right. Everything's going to be fine."

Everyone waited for a response from Poppy, who was looking out the window, wondering how long it would take for Branch to find them.

King Quincy tried to cheer her up, "He did throw himself in front of the Ultimate Power Chord to save you. I think there's a pretty good chance he'll be coming to save you again."

Poppy then started to smile at her fellow leaders, who smiled at her back.

But then, the hopeful moment was cut short when Chef barged into the room.

She said, "Good morning! Did everyone have a good night's rest?"

No one gave her an answer and looked away with sour expressions on their faces.

She continued, "This is a very good morning. It's a shame to keep it to ourselves. I bet every Troll would want to enjoy it with us. But, how can I invite them to join us unless I knew where they were?"

Poppy shouted, "Our answer is still the same, Chef!"

King Quincy also shouted, "One cannot trade the souls of innocent Trolls as if they were tokens!"

Trollex shouted, "You can do whatever you want with us! We're not telling you where they are!"

The other leaders shouted, "Yeah!"

Chef looked annoyed at first, but then made a smug smile, "Alright. If that's the way it's gonna be, then I'm fine with that."

The Troll leaders then looked at her in confusion.

She then said, "You want to do this the hard way? We'll do this the hard way!"

She took out a huge glass tank with a small layer of sand.

She then grabbed a really big heat lamp and turned it on over the tank.

She then grabbed Trollex's fish bowl, "Hey!"

Poppy shouted, "Trollex! Chef, what are you doing?!"

Chef then poured out the fish bowl, along with Trollex, into the tank.

The other leaders watched with horror as the water around Trollex soaked into the layer of sand.

Chef then locked the tank, turned back towards the other leaders with an evil look, and said, "I know that his kind of Trolls can survive out of the water. But the question is 'How long?'"

Everyone looked at her with horror in their faces.

Delta shouted, "Leave him alone!"

Chef answered, "Oh, I will...if you tell me what I want to know."

They all looked at Trollex, who shook his head and mouthed, "No."

Then the other leaders, including Trollex, just looked down with hesitation.

Chef said, "Very well. I'll give you until the end of the day to tell me what I want to know, or it's gonna be fish sticks tonight!"

She then left in a huff.

Queen Essence yelled out to Trollex, "Are you ok?"

Trollex yelled back, "I'm fine! I can handle a little heat!"

Barb asked the other leaders, "But, how long do you think it'll be before...?"

Poppy then said, "Branch, please hurry!"
