Synopsis[]
To Chenille's dismay, Satin befriends a Troll who loves extreme sports.
Plot[]
Poppy is hosting a speed-friending event so that Trolls with little time can make friends fast. The Trolls start off at a potential friend and then when Poppy hits the bell they swap. The event is going mostly well with the Trolls. Chenille is approached by Ripley Wisp, a Troll of the extreme sports kind who doesn't impress her at all. The final bell sounds out and Poppy thanks everyone for attending.
The twins are also thanked and Poppy says she will see them at Scrapbooking Club. Satin says she has other plans and apologizes, but Chenille protests as they always go to the club. Poppy states that just because Satin isn't coming doesn't mean Chenille can't, then realizes the error of that statement. To Chenille's horror, Satin has befriended Ripley, the Troll who had previously unimpressed Chenille.
Both Poppy and Satin are impressed as Ripley leaves in a extreme manner, but Chenille is not. Satin protests that she wants to try new things while Chenille doesn't see the point of that. Chenille takes a stab at Satin's fashion sense and Satin protests pointing out Chenille wore her dress backwards last week. Poppy stops them and says they don't both have to be friends with Ripley, and once again realizes the error in her statement.
Branch shows up and asks why they just don't cut their hair. The trio gasp in horror at Branch's proposal. Poppy apologizes for Branch's lack of social cues. She shoves Branch away from the girls, leaving them to it, and he remains clueless of what he did wrong. They do "Cupcakes, sprinkles, wrapper" with Satin wining as Chenille always picks cupcake. When asked what their doing on this "hanging out" by Chenille, Satin has no idea as Ripley is planning it.
They first parachute "to the extreme", then white water raft "to the extreme", with lunch being a picnic "to the extreme". Chenille is thrilled to see an uninspired checker print, but Satin has had a most exciting time. She lists all the things they would be doing if they stayed home, which Chenille reacts happily to as she says the activities they missed.
As they continue the day, Chenille has had enough and puts her foot down. Satin pushes her sister, trying to break the sacred code of "cupcakes, sprinkles, wrapper" and Chenille realizes that there is no escape. Satin states this day is really important to her. When Satin states she feels Ripley could be her best friend forever and ever, she has a vision of the 3 of them as old Trolls and still doing the same thing, wondering when the nightmare will end. She decides this has to end now.
When Ripley comments how well Satin is taking to critterboarding basics, Chenille responds to Ripley saying she has never had a friend so call by showing her how lame Satin can actually be. She shows Ripley some embarrassing old photos, getting Satin into a fight with her, while Ripley is unsure about what to make boards away from them. With Satin's thing over, Chenille drags her to Scrapbooking Club.
At the club, Satin takes some time to get revenge by scrapbooking all the flaws of Chenille, which are socially unacceptable to the other Trolls and frightens them. This makes her sister furious. The two get into a fight again, causing Poppy's pod to fall off its branch. When it hits the ground, the two are sent out and land on top. It begins to roll, with them forced to run on top of it and the others trapped inside. The other Trolls rush to get out of the way as Poppy's pod heads into a cliff and the two are forced to save it. The rest of Scrapbooking Club's members land outside the pod and rush off to be sick.
The pair blame each other, but Poppy is angry with both of them. She tells them off and says she will stand there until they make up. By nighttime, Poppy is too tired to continue waiting for them to apologize, and goes to bed.
Satin finally apologizes to Chenille for the things she said at Scrapbooking Club, and tells Chenille she did them because she hurt her feelings. Satin says all she wanted to do was try new things with a new friend, but Chenille never even tried. She climbs into Poppy's pod, leaving Chenille alone. As Chenille looks at the old photos of the pair, she realizes Satin sacrifices so much to keep Chenille happy. Chenille becomes teary-eyed over this.
The next day, Chenille wakes Satin up and they are in a Bobsledge Bug. Chenille explains that she realized Satin gives up so much of her time for her sister that she barely does anything Satin wants to do. Chenille has decided that she needs to be more open to the things her sister likes, such as their relationship with Ripley.

Trivia[]
- In Trolls, Satin and Chenille were shown to be able to split their hair apart. However, while it's never shown here, it can be presumed that their hair just reconnects, making it only a temporary measure at best.
- The only member of The Snack Pack membership missing in this episode is DJ Suki. This is one of the few episodes in which most of the group appears individually.
- In conjoined twins, normally one twin dominates over the other. The reason for this is simply that one twin is more confident than the other, and thus "steers" the two of them. Even though, this has to happen for conjoined twins to be able to survive. The less confident twin has to learn to "give in" to the dominant one, or the pair will simply "die" due to their inability to cooperate. Occasionally, the other twin may take control if the dominant one hesitates on something.
- In Satin and Chenille's case, throughout the series, it's made clear that Chenille is the dominant one.
- "Cupcakes, sprinkles, wrapper" is a reference to the game Rock paper scissors. The only known rule of this version is "sprinkles beats cupcake". Presumably, the other two rules are "cupcake beats wrapper" and "wrapper beats sprinkles" to make the same unbias and fairness like the game it's based upon. The gesture for "wrapper" is also never shown, as the girls only show "cupcake" and "sprinkles".
