Plot
[]

The Trolls are telling scary stories to each other. They have invited Bridget, whom they ask to tell a scary story. She complies, but warns the Trolls that Bergen scary stories aren't the same as Troll scary stories. The Trolls ask her to tell it anyway. Troll scary stories usually end on a joyful note. When Bridget tells a Bergen scary story about a creature known as a "Greygon", it ends with all of the Trolls running for their lives as she squeezes two watermelons that create the effect of fake blood. Only Branch and Poppy remain of the group of Trolls as everyone else runs off. Bridget offers the watermelons to the pair.

The next morning, Poppy feels guilty about the scary story Bridget told actually being very scary, and she prepares pastries to help calm everyone down. She soon finds out that everyone is fine and has recovered from Bridget's story except Biggie, who has sealed himself in his pod.

Poppy is worried about Biggie, but Branch just comments on the amateurish nature of Biggie's Greygon defenses. Biggie refuses to let the pair in at first until Poppy convinces him it is her. Poppy runs off to fix the issue with Biggie while Branch passes him the plans to a better defense method.

At Branch's bunker, Poppy is borrowing a number of tools under protest from Branch, who thought she said "a few". Poppy plans to build an exact copy of the Greygon monster to trick Biggie into getting over his fear. Poppy explains that her father did this for her when she was a kid, as she was afraid of there being a monster in her closet. She believes her father's method will work with Biggie. Branch refuses to play any role in the construction of the monster, until Poppy mentions using frosting instead of glue, thus using Branch's own survivalist ego against him as he can't resist helping.

She employs the other Snack Pack members to help and gets Biggie. Poppy fights and chases off the fake Greygon. It works and Biggie is no longer afraid.

As Biggie relaxes and has tea with Branch and Poppy, a real Greygon appears, attracted by the noise of the fake one. The Trolls suddenly realize Bridget never said the Greygon wasn't real. Poppy gets into trouble with the real monster and Branch is trapped in a spider's web. Biggie manages to overcome his fear and gets into the fake Greygon, using it to act like a female Greygon and lure the Greygon into stopping the fight. The Greygon tosses Poppy into the same web that Branch is trapped in and falls in love with the fake Greygon. The Greygon carries it off and Biggie jumps out, landing into the web as well. The spider who owns the web comments on how it loves happy endings.
