Branch needs a partner for the swing dance party, but Poppy doesn’t want to let him lead, so she has auditions and ends up as his partner. However, it turns out they were just dancing on swings.

Poppy is at Smidge's pod and senses someone in the village is unhappy and wants to figure out who it is.
The scene changes to Poppy telling Branch to "use his words" and Branch explains the situation and that theres a big swing dance coming up. Poppy presumes that Brnach isn't good at it - he corrects her and says his amazing. The issue is that Swing dancing requires a partner and his only ever had one, a flashback shows it to be a mop. Poppy suggests she be his partner and Branch states that its fine but he has to lead. Poppy notes as Queen she always leads, Branch notes that he has to lead. This presents a problem for Poppy, who is not used to the idea of letting another lead but she agrees. However, her body wouldn't let her shake on it so she goes looking for another Troll.
At the auditions, Smidge proves to be too strong and Branch is thrown around. Satin is a great partner but tosses Branch aside when Chenille cuts in to be her partner. Meanwhile, Guy Diamond pushes Branch aside to stand center stage and dance to Disco music.
Having given up, Branch thinks there is no Troll to be his partner, but Poppy says there is one person left to try out, she finally offers to be his partner. He asks who will lead and she suggests just letting the music. The two dance and find out their great together.
At the swing dance, they discover its an actual "swing" dance and not what Branch was expecting. Annoyed, Poppy hands him his mop.

*Swing dancing is a type of dancing originally invented during the height of Jazz in the 1900s. It involved a large exaggeration of vivid body movement, typically it would use the entire body from legs, hips and arms being swayed from one side to the other, depending on style. The movement created a fast swaying or "swinging" action. It also tied in with "Swing music" which was music either considered or made for the dancing style.
*When Branch offers his left hand for a handshake, she stretches her right hand which is wrong as she is supposed to use her left hand.
*This is the second Ask Poppy Episode that focuses on Branch after Branch's New Hairshake and this could be due to being a main character like Poppy.
