== Plot ==
=== Cold Open ===
Dana and Vanessa are sneaking drinks from the latter's mother's liquor cabinet when they hear noises coming from the room of Vanessa's brother Cameron on the second floor. Assuming that he's been spying on them, they go upstairs to confront him, only to find Cameron asleep in his bed- and said bed being dragged across the floor by a group of small figures with glowing eyes. Startled, the figures abandon Cameron and flee through the open window. The two girls have time to get to the window to see the eyes staring back up at them from the bushes, before peeling off into the forest.
=== Epilogue ===
Praeger recorded that the tunnels used by the trolls were excavated and found to be labyrinthine and complex. The trolls themselves escaped the attention of the OSIR, even as one watched from the bushes as Praeger and his daughter left.
