Plot
[]

Dante is entertaining Poppy and Holly as well as their respective pets Perky and Pigtail with ice cream. They find the food delicious and ask how it is so good, to which Dante explains that the secret is chocolate truffle sauce. These are rare and hard to find, as they can only be found once a year deep underground in crags, which can only be found by animals with a sensitive sense of smells - traditionally, a pig critter. Pigtail realizes Dante is talking about her, but Dante ham up the idea of where to find such a critter. Despite Pigtail being clearly up for the task, Holly refuses to let her pet be part of the search since she is concerned about her well-being. Pigtail is clearly upset Holly won't let her go.

Later that night, Pigtail is still upset, but Holly ensures her that she knows best for her pet. Holly jumps into bed with Pigtail and soon falls asleep. Pigtails sees the chance to plot against Holly. The next morning, Holly wakes up to her hair being a complete disaster. With her hair in a state, she runs off to the hair salon to fix things, telling Pigtail to stay put. As soon as she goes, Pigtail snorts with laughter.

In the woods, Dante is searching for Truffles. Dante thinks Holly has changed her mind and allowed Pigtail out on the hunt. Despite this being her first time, she finds a Truffle. Dante lets her keep the very first one she found, as they will likely find many more today.

At her home, Pigtail hides her newly acquired truffle from Holly. She has no plans for tomorrow, leading Pigtail to start another scheme. She sends out a bunch of invites, lights up a stage and produces a bunch of Troll favors in the Fun Factory. The next morning, Holly finds out from Poppy (who is with Branch and Biggie) that Holly was nominated for a Trollsie award. Everyone was also nominated - but the thing is there is no such thing. At the stage, Guy Diamond takes over as host. Smidge wins prize for "Troll most likely to say 'Oh my Guh'", beating Cooper, Biggie and Branch. Since this will take hours to hand out all the awards, Pigtail takes the chance to run off to Dante again at night. Pigtail finds a lot of Truffles while she is praised for her skills. At the end of the night, Pigtail smells even more truffles, and goes off, but has a accident.

After the awards, Holly has won a lot of awards, but soon loses her cheerfulness when she sees Pigtail's bump on her head.

At her home, Holly sees to Pigtails health, while lecturing her why she didn't want to her to go into the woods in the first place. Dante didn't know she didn't have Holly's permission, but comments on Pigtail's skills. Holly comments Pigtail is just a baby and it is her responsibility to make sure she never gets hurt.

Later during a rain shower, Poppy comes rushing in. Dante went into the woods by himself and never came back. Poppy suggests Pigtail could find him since he was out looking for Truffles. Pigtail breaks off her bandages and is ready to go back out, but Holly is hesitant. Pigtail runs off with Holly and Poppy is in pursuit.

Pigtail finds Dante and Dante is stuck down a crag with raising waters below him. Holly stops Pigtail from going down there, but Pigtail snorted rudely at her, finally telling her off for everything. Holly is shocked and Poppy says that they need to save Dante. Holly is reluctant, but finally lets Pigtail go rescue Dante. Holly gets worried and upset when Pigtail doesn't return, but soon she returns with Dante.

They are seen again at Holly's home with Perky once again joining them. Holly has a big change of heart on her "mama knows best" routine and reconcile with Pigtail, and the episode ends with the group celebrating Pigtail.

Trivia

  • The "Chocolate Truffle" is a play on the fungus known as "Truffle" and the confectionary treat known as the "chocolate Truffle". The treat is a spherical sweet that has a ganache center and is surrounded by a chocolate or coconut coating.
  • Pigs are renowned for their ability to sniff out and dug up Truffles, truffles are a type of black fungus. They are often used for the gathering of the fungus, as the truffle mimicks the scent of a male pig. Though are better then dogs at finding them, they may eat them.
  • The episode is likely aimed at children, with Holly representing a concerned parent and Pigtail representing a child. Often, parents are overprotective of their children and this, in turn, leads to the parent holding back the child or preventing them from doing something their either good at or can do, and become frightened of harm coming to their child or children. Sometimes, children do plot to undermine their parents as a result and disobey them anyway.
  • The "Trollsie Awards" or simply "Trollsies" are a portmanteau of "Trolls" and "Annie Awards" or "Annies" respectively.
