Lost in Troll Forest, Poppy and Archer must learn to trust each other.

Biggie, Smidge, Poppy and Branch are discussing how Creek has missed every shift with Archer so far. Poppy believes something big must happen to bond with Archer, similar to how her and Branch bonded in Trolls. Branch reminds her that they almost died and sheds a tear for the memory.
They open up the Fun Dungeon and find Archer has escaped. Archer is running away, but Smidge, Biggie, Poppy and Branch are hot on his heels. They split up to cover more ground and Poppy locates Archer. During the escape, Archer runs into the Tunnels of Certain Death and falls deep into the Forest bringing Poppy with him.
The pair are now lost in Fearsome Forest. Poppy lights up her hair to make it glow, and suggests that they should work together to escape, but Archer runs off as he is trying to get away from her. She sits down and starts counting how long before he returns. He warns of terrible things in the darkness. A spider warns the pair that there is only one road out of the forest; this path leads to Certain Death, to which Poppy suggests to say it as "Certain Death, death, death", just how Cloud Guy had said it, and the spider prefers the way she says it.
Archer is worried, but Poppy starts to recap the Trolls movie again and realizes this might be the bonding moment she needs with Archer. Poppy walks off when Archer doesn't want to be friends, leaving him in the dark and out of fear he follows her.
Archer is getting more and more frustrated at the proposed future things he and the Troll will be doing once they are friends. While trying to get out of the forest, Archer does everything to avoid being friends with Poppy while she persists on trying to bond with him.
Eventually, all the bonding attempts get to him and he snaps at her, telling her the only reason she is trying to bond is to save the village. He states that she doesn't actually care about him at all. Poppy ensures him that she does care, but Archer states people will always turn on you. Poppy asks him if this happened to him, guessing the Party Crashers were behind it.
Poppy helps Archer climb a cliff and finds a "way out" sign. As Archer grabs a torch, a knight named Sir Tandeth appears, causing him to get startled. He asks Sir Tandeth if he's the Certain Death the spider warned about, and the knight confirms that for some reason people always mix him up with Certain Death. Archer rubs out the "way out" sign as Sir Tandeth leads him to safety. However, to get out of the forest, Archer actually needs to pass Certain Death, who turns out to be a wrestling pro.
Certain Death is beating Archer at fighting, but Poppy steps in and rescues him, having found Archer despite his attempts to stop her following her. Risking her life for him, she knocks Certain Death off a cliff. Having proven that she does care about Archer, he admits defeat. Poppy wants to hug him, but forces herself into a handshake. As she boasts about the other Trolls being happy to hear that he finally bonded, Archer remembers something important.
Branch is about to send out a search party as she arrives. As the Trolls celebrate her return, she tells Branch that there's another concern. Archer reveals that a second scout was in the village posing as a Troll. By now, the other scout already summoned the Party Crashers. Before Poppy can set up defenses, the Party Crashers arrive.
