Synopsis[]
Satin and Chenille must save Nova Swift from a fashion disaster.
Plot[]
The episode begins with Poppy introducing Nova Swift, Troll Village's trendmaker. Nova makes a grand entrance from underground, stating tunnelling is in. She states sequins are out but mega-sequins are in and shouting is out but whispering is in. In the crowd, Satin and Chenille are admiring Nova.
Their arguing is interrupted by Poppy, who has recommended the pair for Nova's new internship, and they need to make a good impression on her. Chenille explains that they have a genetic problem when it comes to good impressions called "Satin", which causes a reaction from her sister. Poppy explains Nova only wants to ask a few questions and to answer them honestly. Guy Diamond warns the pair that if they do that, their internship is over, like her last intern Laroux Laroux. This causes the twins to worry about disappointing their idol, but Poppy dismisses it as a rumor.
Nova appears upon hearing her name and pops in a puff of smoke. She notes the twins are intern material and is impressed with them. Nova wants to put them through some paces and the twins lie about how great it sounds to avoid disappointing her. The tasks she has them perform are tedious and gruelling, with some being ridiculous. Finally they get things right, which completes her demands and the two are now her interns.
Now the girls are in her inner cycle; they get to see some of the finer details of Nova's life. Nova is tired of being a reviewer and wants to be the one reviewed for once. This means Nova is making her own fashion line, which the twins are excited about. Despite their excitement, they are presented with Nova's creations moments later, and are horrified over them. However, the twins are still worried by the idea of disappointing Nova, so they keep their opinions on her hideous creations and lie to her by saying they love her clothes.
At the fashion show preparations, the twins realize they've made a mistake, as Nova leaves them to get the models ready. They decide to break a fashion vow - making clothes worst, not better. They sabotage Nova's clothes. Instead of cancelling the show as expected, Nova finds the clothes now more attractive and still wants to go ahead. She begins the fashion show introduction, but as she sings, the twins grab her and pull her off-stage.
The pair come clear about her clothes being bad. Nova cringes as they describe her clothes, but to their surprise, she congratulates them on their honesty. Nova explains that she has troubles in her line of work getting honest opinions, as everyone tends to agree with her. So when someone tells her she's doing something bad, it saves her reputation, and this is important for her. The pair ask about Laroux Laroux, to which Nova explains that she did end her internship, but Laroux was promoted to become her assistant. Nova criticizes Laroux for tunnelling to make an entrance, to which Laroux brushes it off and states she does what she wants, which Nova claims that it's why she adores Laroux.
Chanting outside attracts their attention, but Nova examples that she can pretty much get away with anything - by cancelling the fashion show without notice. The crowd are confused, but give her admiration anyway. The twins proclaim "Best internship ever!".

Trivia[]
- This is a continuation of Satin and Chenille's story arc with Nova, which began with "Model Behavior".
- One of the demands from Nova is a Fluffleberry latte. Previously in "Fluffleberry Quest", that Fluffleberry cake was an acquired taste that most trolls couldn't handle. It makes sense that being eccentric like Branch, Nova also like Fluffleberry.
- "La roux" means "the red".
