The Snack Pack must investigate their newfound imposter.

The episode continues from where "The Imposter" left off, where Archer Pastry is being questioned in the Fun Dungeon by Poppy. She begins the process of ice breaking to make him talk, but he refuses.
Archer reveals that he is part of a group of creatures related to the Bergens known as Party Crashers. In the group, he is a scout whose job is to blend in with the locals and discover all their weaknesses. Once this is done, he summons the Party Crashers when the time is ready. The group then uses up all the population's party supplies, leaving nothing fun behind, and moves on to their next target.
Smidge wants to attack Archer for being so cocky, but Branch holds her back. Poppy then sets up a routine with the goal of befriending Archer to save the village, as if he is their friend he won't want to summon his pals. Poppy begins with various methods of trying to befriend him but none of her efforts work. Poppy holds a parade for Archer, only for him to use the parade float to escape.
Branch and Poppy chase Archer down, and just as it looks like he is about to get away and summon his friends, they release Smidge. Smidge stops Archer and he's taken back to the Fun Dungeon. Poppy is dismayed that she didn't manage to make friends with Archer. Branch surprises her by presenting 100 years worth of planned shifts for Trolls to take turns trying to befriend Archer. He claims that no matter how long it will take, they will befriend him.

*A "frenemy" is an individual who's a rival or enemy of someone else, yet still remains friendly with that person.
*This is one of the few episodes to feature all members of The Snack Pack together, and one of the few episodes where Fuzzbert appears with them.
*The working title of the episode was "Frenemy of the State".https://jimmortensen.tumblr.com/post/177388898612/since-trolls-season-3-is-out-here-are-the-invite
**The working title is a reference to "Enemy of the State", which means a person who has committed crimes against the state which cannot be forgiven such as treason or terroirism. 
*Archer's claim about the Party Crashers being related to the Bergens was included to clarify that the Party Crashers are not Trolls; this was due to the production of Trolls World Tour having begun at this time, and the creators wanted to avoid any possible confusion with the other Troll Tribes occurring.
*When Archer escapes, Smidge is shown to be untied. However, in another scene afterwards, Smidge is tied up again. This is likely to be an animation error.
