Inside the castle, the Trolls had met Callista.

She said as she examined their hair, "Oh, welcome! Welcome! Oh, it's so beautiful! It's perfect! It's just what I need to repair my beloved cloak."

That got the rocs excited.

Callista then said, "But, first, the hair must be absolutely squeaky clean. Through the wash with them!"

The gang had made it to Slippery Slope and started looking around.

Satin saw something, "Look! Over there! It's Poppy's Hug Watch!"

Branch said, "Our first clue! They must be around here somewhere. Spread out and search for any other clues as to where they might've gone."

They all started searching around.

Smidge then noticed something behind a couple of trees, "You guys, come here! Quick!"

They saw the dark castle.

Wani said, "They must be in there."

However, the Sunflower leader said, "We may have a better chance of getting in without being spotted if we take the cave system."

Branch asked, "You know about those caves?"

The leader said, "Our ancestors used to live here. We know it like the back of our hands."

The rescue team proceeded to follow the Sunflowers into the cave system.

Back inside, the captive Trolls were taken to a room where they were placed on a conveyor belt.

Callista tried to use her magic to keep them there.

"Kazim! Kazam! Kazoom!"

Glass chains formed around their hands, but were able to break free.

Callista said, "Oh, dear! This cloak is practically worthless now! Do something quick!"

The rocs used ordinary rope to tie them to the conveyor belt.

Trollex said, "Yo, man! Not so tight!"

Callista then said, "Be sure they get good and clean."

Ash said as she left, "Yes, yes, your most lovely highness!"

The three Trolls were dragged through a machine that was like a car wash.

They were sprayed with soap and water and were quickly blow-dried.

When they were done, the rocs made sure their hair was ready to be cut.

Ash said when they were done, "Soon, we'll have a better place to live than this cramped dump. And we won't need Callista ever again!"

The three rocs cackled.

***

Biggie and Hickory continued walking to Slippery Slope.

Biggie said to Hickory, "If only I could do something to save Poppy, Trollex, and Kim myself. I feel like I owe them that much."

Hickory said, "We'll think of something."

Biggie then said, "You're right. We should at least hope we think of something before it's too late."

They continued to follow the trail.

Back inside the castle, the rocs were taunting the clearly terrified Trolls with scissors.

Kim asked, "Do you think they'll hurt us?"

Poppy answered, "No, Kim. Look, all they want is our hair. After that, they'll let us leave."

But, Trollex said, "I don't know, Poppy. I can't help but think they want more than that."

Ash came in, "That's right. This won't be the end of it, my friends. Not even after we've harvested your lovely tresses. Why then, your job is just beginning and then your precious Trollstopia will never be the same!"

Trollex asked, "What? What are you talking about?"

Brutus answered, "Why, thanks to your hair, Callista will turn all of Trollstopia into glass!"

The three Trolls gasped with horror.
