The following is a transcript for the episode "Piney & Lord Prickles".
== ==
(The Metroll train rides by quickly. Poppy is humming while sitting by the window. She looks out the window and sees something.)
Poppy: Huh? (She sees Val.) Hey, it’s Val. (Val walks into a mushroom pod and Poppy rings a bell to stop the train. Stuff is seen being thrown out of the mushroom pod.)
Val: (From inside) No. No. No. I can’t find it anywhere. (Poppy walks inside the mushroom pod.)
Poppy: Val? Did you lose something?
Val: What? No. No, I didn’t.
Poppy: Really? Then what are you doing here at Troll Village Lost and Found and Gift Wrapped? (Cooper’s head pops out of a present and he hops away.)
Val: Fine. Yes, I’m looking for something… private.
Poppy: Come on, Val. Friends ask friends for help.
Val: Ugh.
Poppy: And we are friends, right?
Val Ugh.
Poppy: Val?
Val: UGH!
Poppy: Vaaaaal?
Val: Yes, we know we are. Ugh! Fine! I lost… my snuggle toy.
Poppy: Your snuggle toy?! Val, that is so- (Val turns around and Poppy gasps.) Sorry. I know sentimentally makes you uncomfortable. One moment. (She runs outside and coos. Then she walks back inside.) Please, tell me more.
Val: I found my snuggle toy a long time ago. Some might say by accident, but in my heart I know… it was fate. (We go to the past where she was little.) I was just a little rocker, walking home from my first mosh party.
Young Val: I am mosh prodigy! (laughs)
Val: But I got lost.
Young Val: (gasps) Hello? (Her voice echoes. When night falls, the moon howls.)
Val: I was all alone, scared, and then I saw him. On the ground, just as lost I was. (Some leaves reveal a teddy bear. Young Val gasps and picks up a pinecone.) And I knew right then, we were meant to be together.
Poppy: Wait a second. (We go back to the present.) Your snuggle toy is a pinecone?
Val: (Staring out the window.) Not just any pinecone. A beautiful pinecone, with an even more beautiful soul. (sniffs) And now my life is empty without… piney. (She shows a picture of Piney. Poppy’s eyes are filled with tears.)
Poppy: (sobs) One moment. (She runs outside, squeals, and walks back inside.) It’s OK, Val. You are my friend, so I will not rest until we find Coney.
Val: Piney.
Poppy: Piney. (She takes Val’s picture.) Step 1: we post these all over TrollsTopia. (She writes the word “missing” on the picture.)
Val: (Gasping while taking the picture back) No, no, no, no, no! No-one can know that that my sweet little seed pod is mine! It’s embarrassing! 
Poppy: Why? It’s adorable.
Val: It’s embarrassing because it’s adorable! I’m serious, Popsqueak! It’s up to you and me to find him, no-one else. Promise me.
Poppy: (sighs) Cross my heart and hope to dye… my hair… beige. (A scream is heard.) I’m pulling out all the stops. (Soon, she is holding a leash with Bloodhound Bugs.) See, Val, these Bloodhound Bugs are the most elite tracking critters in TrollsTopia. Observe, Piney’s hat. (The Bloodhound Bugs sniff the hat. Then they form a pyramid. One of them holds out an arrow pointing to the left.) Go! (The leash releases the critters to find Piney.) See? Just one whiff and absolutely nothing can stop them from finding- (Demo pops out from behind a mushroom.)
Demo: Puppies! (The Bloodhound Bugs run over to him.)
Poppy: Huh? (The critters pounce on Demo and lick him. He runs like a dog and they follow him.)
Demo: I love you! (Poppy chuckles nervously and puts the leash in her hair.)
Poppy: Next idea. Sometimes, the thing you’re searching for is in the last place you’d think to look. (She opens what appears to be a box.) Huh. Piney’s not hear either. (She puts down one of the toes of King Gristle Jr.) Thanks anyway, Gristle. (King Gristle Jr. is seen sleeping on his throne.)
Val: Who the hair is this?! (We cut to her at Poppy’s pod.) It’s hopeless. I’ll never find Piney! My heart is a bottomless void of eternal darkness. But you know, not in a cool way. (We reveal that she is lying on Poppy’s bed.)
Poppy: Well, maybe you can find a new snuggle toy till we get Piney back. (She picks up a box with her hair.) These are just a few snuggle toys that got me through some tough times when I was a little Troll. (She opens the box and lots of snuggle toys fall out. Val comes out of the pile and pants.) Eh?
Val: I don’t know. 
Poppy: Come on. (She helps Val out and takes out a book.) I’ve made a personality profile for each one. If it’s not a good match, just toss it to the side. (Val picks up a stuffed fish.) Oh, this is Fishly! He enjoys long swims by the beach, blowing bubbles with friends.
Val: Toss. (She picks up a stuffed Growl Beast.)
Poppy: Growlie McGee here is-
Val: Toss.
Poppy: OK, well-
Val: Toss. Toss. Toss.
Poppy: Val, it doesn’t feel like you’re giving this a chance.
Val: Toss. Toss.
Poppy: Val.
Val: Toss.
Poppy: Val!
Val: Toss. Huh? (She picks up a stuffed porcupine and gasps.) This is the one!
Poppy: Lord Prickles? He’s not much like Piney.
Val: No, he’s not. And yet… they have the same soul. (She places a top hat on Lord Prickles and hugs him.)
Poppy: So, it’s a match?
Val: Yeah, it is. Look, Poppy. Asking for help is really hard for me, but I’m so glad you pushed me do it. Thanks for being such a great friend.
Poppy: Aw. (Val hugs her and she squeals. Then Val jumps off the pile with Lord Prickles.)
Val: Whee! (She tosses Lord Prickles in the air.) Whoo! (Later, Smidge is singing while walking. She reaches Poppy’s pod.)
Smidge: (As Poppy is heard groaning) Hey, Poppy. I’m heading to the Fun Dungeon. Do you wanna- (She gasps and sees an upset Poppy lying on her bed.) Poppy, what’s wrong with you?
Poppy: Lord Prickles… is gone.
Smidge: What? (She tries to climb onto Poppy’s bed.) Did you look under Gristle’s big toe? (Poppy sits up.)
Poppy: I know exactly where he is, Smidge. I gave him to a friend in need.
Smidge: But, Poppy, Lord Prickles is…
Poppy: My number 1 most beloved snuggle toy, now and forever? Yes, I know. He wasn’t even supposed to be one of the choices, but… (We go to the past where Lord Prickles is on her pillow until he is covered in the toy pile. Then we go back to the present where Poppy sighs.)
Smidge: Well, at least you’ve still got Fishly. He’s just as good. (She squeezes Fishly.)
Poppy: I’ll pretend you didn’t say that. (Fishly squeaks again.)
Smidge: No, no, you’re right. Then tell your friend it was a mistake and ask for Lord Prickles back.
Poppy: No, I won’t do that. She really needs this. I’ll just have to get by without him. (She sings Let Them Go.)
(Poppy)
I guess it’s time to say good-bye
But I’ll turn my head
So you don’t have to see me cry
Oh, I never thought we’d end this way
I just keep thinking back
To what they always say
If you love someone
Then you let them go
Though it hurts your heart
And destroys your soul
You let them go
Good-bye (She walks back to her pod and gasps to see Lord Prickles. She rubs her eyes.)
Poppy: Lord Prickles! (She picks him up and tosses him in the air.) Oh, Val must have found Piney! We’ll never be apart again.
Val: Poppy? Is there something you’re not telling me? You’re acting weird.
Poppy: No, I’m fine. I was just surprised to see you returned Lord Prickles.
Val: Poppy, that’s not Lord Prickles. (She reveals the real Lord Prickles.)
Poppy: What? Then what am I… (The camera moves down and reveals that Poppy was holding Demo.)
Demo: Ah! I just came by for a hang- (Poppy screams and Demo runs away. The Bloodhound Bugs chase after him. Poppy turns to Val and laughs nervously.)
Val: Popsqueak, what’s going on?
Poppy: (Pulling her hair) Nothing. Everything’s great.
Val: Poppy?
Poppy: I’m fine, Val! Really! (She hides her face in her hair.)
Val: Ugh! Look, Popsqueak, you know I’m no good at talking about my feelings, but it seems like, if this you and me thing is gonna work, you can’t always be the one who is there for me. You’ve gotta let me be there for you, too. Otherwise we lack a relational foundation of trust and mutual respect.
Poppy: Wow! Did you just think of that or-
Val: Friends ask friends for help, Poppy. And we’re friends, right? Poppy? Poppy?
Poppy: Yes. (She sheds a tear.) You know we are. (She takes a deep breath.) I just… (sniffs) I… really miss Lord Prickles!
Val: Yeah. (She takes out Lord Prickles.) I figured. (She removes the top hat from Lord Prickles and gives him to Poppy, who hugs him.)
Poppy: Thank you, Val. Oh, but now you don’t have a snuggle toy!
Val: Eh, it’ll be all right. Since asking a friend for help turned out so great… (She puts up the picture of Piney on a mushroom.) … maybe I should ask all my friends for help. (She hears barking.) Huh? (Demo runs up to Val and Poppy.)
Demo: Oh, wait! That pinecone’s yours?
Val: Yeah.
Demo: (Taking out Piney with drumsticks) I’ve been using him as a drumstick holder!
Val: Oh! (She takes Piney.) Piney! (She removes the drumsticks and places the top hat on Piney.) Whee! (She and Poppy laugh as the walk off with their snuggle toys. Fishly is seen at a table and Smidge shows up.)
Smidge: Is this seat taken? (She sits down while Fishly falls.)  Oh, Fishly. Pull it together.
