The following is a transcript for the episode "The Helper".

(Poppy’s snoring is heard. She opens her eyes and sees Smidge in front of her.)
Poppy: Hm?
Smidge: Good morning!
Poppy: AAAH! (We see that Smidge is standing on her bed’s blanket.)
Smidge Official helper reporting for duty!
Poppy: Hey, Smidge. You know, you don’t have to be here right when I wake up.
Smidge: I know I don’t have to. I get to! (She takes Poppy out of her bed.)
Poppy: Huh?
Smidge: (Putting a toothbrush in Poppy’s mouth) Busy day. This morning you’re hair-gliding with Biggie, then a ribbon cutting, dance class. (She picks up a glass of water.) Then you make appearance at three parties and a quincea-haira. (Poppy drinks the whole glass of water.) And tonight you take your royal Flyer Bug, Air Force Fun, to Bergen Town for that week-long Peace and Keyboarding Festival. (She picks up a bowl and Poppy spits out the water from her mouth.)
Poppy: Yeah, it’s Gristle’s idea. I’ve got a feeling it will just be a week of him playing keyboard. (We go to Poppy’s imagination where King Gristle Jr. is playing a keyboard with Chad and Todd dancing. We then go back to reality.)
Smidge: In order to endure all those funky solos, you’re gonna need your strength. (She picks up a big orange.) So open up. (She puts the orange in Poppy’s mouth and she spits it out.)
Poppy: I’m good Let’s just start the day. (Later, some Trolls are waiting for the carpet to roll across.)
Smidge: (Rolling the carpet) Busy queen coming through, people. (Poppy walks on the carpet as Smidge rolls it. She soon comes up to a purple female Glitter Troll.) Move your hair! (The purple female Glitter Troll runs away and farts glitter.)
Poppy: Smidge, we’ve been through this. You don’t have to scream at them.
Smidge: No screaming. Got it. (As she continues to roll the carpet, she throws more Trolls out of the way including Cooper and Guy Diamond.)
Poppy: Smidge! Smidge, listen! Smidge, you’re clearly not listening to me, so new, tactic. Let me explain what I’m feeling via scrapbook. (She picks up a scrapbook showing the past of Smidge helping her.) The first time you offered to help me… (The present she is carrying crushes her. Luckily, Smidge lifts it with her hair.) … it was such a lifesaver. It was the beginning of a beautiful helper-helpee relationship: A helpship. But now, whenever I need a hand… (Smidge crushes some glitter.)
Past Poppy: Oh.
Poppy: … you tend to get carried away. See what I mean, Smidge? (Smidge does not answer.) Smidge? Smidge? (The camera zooms out to reveal Smidge carrying her with her hair.)
Smidge: I hear you loud and clear, Poppy. Now onto hair-gliding with Biggie! Heigh-ho, helper, away! (She starts running and Poppy screams while holding on.)
Poppy: Smidge, stop! (Smidge puts her down. She then sighs with annoyance.) Look, I was hoping to have some one-on-one time with Biggie, so just… just take the morning off, OK?
Smidge: Well… (Later, Poppy is hair-gliding with Biggie.)
Poppy and Biggie: Woo-hoo!
Biggie: And she said “OK”?
Poppy: Yeah, she did! And you know, it was great because for the first time in a long time, she really listened. (Smidge appears in her hair.)
Smidge: Look out for that tree! (She makes Poppy hit Biggie, causing them to fall screaming. Biggie lands on Poppy and Smidge uses her hair as a parachute.) Wow! Thank goodness I was here. (Poppy gets up from Biggie and he rolls away.) That tree came out of nowhere! (She points to a tiny tree and Poppy growls angrily.) Uh… Poppy?
Poppy: Smidge, I didn’t want to do this, but until you give me some space as helper and helpee, we need a break. (Smidge becomes sad.)
Smidge: A break? How long? Like, from now to now? (Poppy grunts and Smidge shows a watch.) Now to now?
Poppy: Mm-mm.
Smidge: (Holding a number list) Or how about now?
Poppy: Hm?
Smidge: Now?
Poppy: Hm?
Smidge: Now? (Poppy gasps in shock.) Now? Now? (Poppy gasps again and grunts in anger.) Now?
Poppy: I don’t know.
Smidge: But you need me to help with all your queenly duties.
Poppy: I know, I really do. But I think for now, this is for the best.
Smidge: (sighs) Guess you’ll be wanting my badge. (She takes out her helper badge.)
Poppy: Well, technically, you gave yourself that badge.
Smidge: Shh-shh-shh! (She gives her helper badge to Poppy.) Don’t make this any harder. Heigh-ho, helper! (Biggie comes up to her and Poppy.) I mean, Smidge… away. (She walks off sadly. Soon, she is sitting on a rock and Biggie comes up to her.)
Biggie: Oh, Smidge, are you OK?
Smidge: (angry) Of course I am. (She starts crying.) Strong women also cry! (Biggie starts crying with her.)
Biggie: They say crying is contagious!
Smidge: I think that’s yawning. (Biggie stops crying.)
Biggie: Oh, that’s right. I know how you’re feeling. (He sits down on the rock with Smidge.) Sometimes, out of nowhere, Mr. Dinkles tells me he needs some space. That’s when I spend time with his rival… Mr. Blinkles. (We go to the past where he is with Mr. Blinkles.)
Past Biggie: Oh, Mr. Blinkles, it’s so fun to play with you.
Mr. Blinkles: Moop. (Biggie laughs and hugs him. Mr. Dinkles becomes angry.)
Mr. Dinkles: Meep. (We go back to the present.)
Biggie: And just like that, Dinkles comes crawling back. Because he’s a worm and that’s how they move. So, I bet if Poppy saw you helping other Trolls-
Smidge: She’d come crawling back to me?! Watch out, Troll Village. Smidge is gonna help you so hard! (Later, she helps Rufus with feeding critters.)
Rufus: (chuckles) Thanks for giving me a hand with this here critter feeding, helper.
Biggie: (Popping up from the pile of critter food) Poppy’s on her way to the ribbon cutting. Now, remind her what she’s missing out on. (Poppy appears while humming a tune and dancing.)
Smidge: (Ripping some bags of critter food) Gee, Rufus, isn’t it so nice having a helper?
Rufus: Easy there, city Troll. Some of the bags aren’t food. They’re… (Smidge rips a bag of Cuddle Pup nip and it covers her face.) Cuddle Pup nip! (He and Biggie hide while a Mama Cuddle Pup swallows Smidge. Poppy gasps in amazement.)
Poppy: Oh, puppy! (She leaves and the Mama Cuddle Pup spits out Smidge. Later, she sets up fireworks for Bella.)
Bella: Thanks for helping me set up the fireworks, helper.
Smidge: According to Poppy’s schedule, she’ll be coming from that way. (She looks to the left.) Wait, that was yesterday. Today, she’ll be coming from that way! (She sees Poppy walking by.) Wait! (She picks up the firework pump and runs toward Poppy.) Poppy, look over here! (She stops running because the rope attached to the fireworks is short and they fall over.) Poppy! (The firework pump lands on her face. A bird lands on the pump, causing the fireworks to go flying. Smidge screams and dodges. The fireworks fly past Poppy and hit a mushroom, breaking it. Satin and Chenille are next to it.) Oh, my Guh.
Satin: I think the dress should be purple!
Chenille: But mauve is much more regal! (Parts of the mushroom fall on her.) Oof! (She and Satin see the mushroom about to crush them and scream in horror. Luckily, Smidge comes to save them.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (She uses her hair to lift the mushroom. Satin and Chenille gasp in amazement.) Phew! That was close. (She releases the mushroom.) Also, mauve is just a shade of purple, so you’re both right.
Satin: So…
Chenille: … helpful.
Smidge: (gasps) Say, you two don’t by chance, need any more of my help, do you?
Chenille: Well, we are doing a photo shoot today. Satin will probably do something awful, so yes, we could use a hand. (Poppy appears.)
Poppy: Smidge, thank goodness you were here to-
Smidge: Sure, ladies. I’d love to be your helper at the photo shoot. (She walks off with Satin and Chenille.) Hello, Poppy. You look well.
Poppy: Hello, Smidge. You do, too.
Satin: Uh… Helper, the photo shoot is that way. (Smidge goes the way Satin tells her.)
Smidge: (Passing Poppy) Still looking well. (At the photo shoot, she is holding a camera. There is also a sky background.)
Chenille: Set up right over here, helper.
Smidge: (Putting the camera down) That went so great! I was all like, “Poppy, you look well.” And did you see the look on her face? (laughs) So what do I do now?
Biggie: Simple. Keep helping Satin and Chenille until Poppy comes crawling. Or walks back because she’s a Troll, not a worm.
Poppy: (offscreen) Hello? (We see that she is in front of the sky background.) Hey, Smidge, do you have a minute to talk?
Biggie: This is it. Now, play it cool until she asks you to help her again. (He sees Poppy next to him and Smidge.) Don’t mind me. I was just headed out. (He runs away.)
Poppy: Smidge, seeing you with Satin and Chenille made me realize something.
Smidge: It did?! (clears her throat) I mean… it did? Do tell.
Poppy: It’s about you helping me. I… I-
Satin: Helper!
Chenille: Time for the photo shoot!
Smidge: Yeah, yeah. I’m talking to Poppy now. You were saying?
Satin: Smidge, are you bailing on us after agreeing to be our helper?
Satin and Chenille: Hm.
Poppy: Hm.
Smidge: Oh. (scoffs) No way. Who would never want my help if I did that? Classic Smidge joke! (She laughs with Satin and Chenille.)
Poppy: Oh, well, y-you’re busy. We’ll talk when I get back from the Peace and Keyboarding Festival next week?
Smidge: A week?! No, no! This shouldn’t take long, right, ladies?
Satin: No. We just need you to get the models in place.
Chenille: Also, we need you go get models.
Smidge: Oh… my… Guh. (She gets ready to attack, but stops herself.) Wait here, Poppy. (She runs off.) Got to get the models! Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh! (She runs past a see-saw with a blue male Troll and a yellow male Troll on it.) Oh, my Guh! (She ends up picking up the yellow male Troll. Next, she runs by a light blue male Troll purposing to a light purple female Troll with a ring.) Want to be a model. Come on! You’ll do. (She runs into the light blue male Troll, leaving the ring and the light purple male Troll behind. Next, she runs into a pink female Troll flying a kite. She zooms back to the sky background with the Trolls she ran into.) Your models. Glad to be of service. (She goes over to Poppy.) Poppy, you were saying?
Satin: Helper!
Chenille: These models don’t have a look that fits our backdrop, so you need to get us a new backdrop like…
Satin: Wildflowers!
Both: All the wildflowers!
Smidge: (chuckles) Uh-huh. I’ll be right back. (She zooms off again. She rapidly grabs the flowers as she runs. Then she heads back to Satin and Chenille.) Done. Your wish is my command. Blah, blah, blah, blah! Poppy-
Satin: Wait, helper. Now we need the most important thing of all.
Satin and Chenille: Lattes! (Smidge growls angrily. Soon, she is at a coffee shop.)
Barista: (grunts) Hm… (He sees Smidge.) Sorry; it’s my first day.
Smidge: Yeah.
Barista: Two lattes for Smarge. (He hands out the lattes.)
Smidge: Hm. (A tall pink Troll named Smarge appears and takes the lattes.)
Smarge: I’m Smarge. (She walks off with the lattes while Smidge grumbles.)
Barista: Sorry, what was your order again? (Later, Smidge runs back to Satin and Chenille with two lattes.)
Smidge: Here! (She runs to Biggie.) Where’s Poppy?
Biggie: She had to go catch Air Force Fun to Bergen Town. (He takes out a note.) But she did leave this note for you. (Smidge takes the note.)
Poppy: Dear Smidge, sorry I had to run. I just came by to say that I’m happy for you, that you found the twins to help. (Tears run down Smidge’s face. Biggie puts a hand on the note.)
Biggie: (In Poppy’s voice) They’re lucky to have you. Hugs and more hugs, Poppy.”
Chenille: Wow! You do a perfect impression of Poppy. It’s freaking me out.
Satin: Now, helper, can you get me a new latte? This time, a double.
Chenille: And soy for mine, helper.
Satin: And make mine iced, helper.
Chenille: Add whip, helper!
Satin: Put a frothy heart in mine, helper!
Chenille: Put a toffee crumble in mine, helper! (Smidge screams in radge.)
Smidge: Guys, you have to give me some space! Oh, my Guh. I think I just learned something. Biggie, will you take over as their helper? (Biggie gives a hand signal to Smidge and she runs off.)
Biggie: So, ladies, how can I be of serv- (He accidentally knocks over a flower lamp, setting the flowers and sky background on fire. The wind then blows the ash away.) Whoopsie. (He chuckles sheepishly. At Air Force Fun, the Trolls are cheering for Poppy on the plane. She sadly looks at Smidge’s badge and gets inside. A light blue Fuzzling jabbers and asks if Smidge is coming.)
Poppy: No, my helper won’t be coming this time. (The Fuzzling pulls a switch with its foot and the plane starts moving. Poppy looks at Smidge’s badge and sighs sadly. Smidge appears on a moving staircase.)
Smidge: Poppy! (She nearly loses her balance.) Poppy! Wait!
Poppy: Huh? (She looks out the window.) Smidge!
Smidge: Poppy, I am so sorry. I’ve spent all day doing crazy things to get you to let me be your helper again, but… (She ducks under an obstacle.) … but now I realize, instead of doing all of that… (She nearly loses her balance again.) … I should have just given you a little space. (He hears a horn honk.) Hm? (The staircase moves out of the way for a little bug.)
Poppy: Oh, Smidge, thank you! And honestly, doing everything today without you by my side, it wasn’t as fun. (The plane starts go up.) Oh, well, I guess we can talk about it more next week.)
Smidge: Of course. Go! Have a great trip.
Poppy: Or… you could come now!
Smidge: Heck yes, I can! (She jumps through the plane’s ceiling. Some air masks fall out.)
Poppy: Smidge?!
Smidge: Poppy!
Poppy: Here. (She shows Smidge her badge.)
Smidge: Yeah, boy! (She snatches the badge.) OK. Now, when was the last time you hydrated? (She shows a bottle of water to Poppy.)
Poppy: Smidge…
Smidge: You know you love it.
Poppy: Yeah, I do. (She takes the bottle and drinks it.)
