Plot[]
The episode begins with Poppy telling a group of Trolls to hold their group hug. The group hug falls apart. This sets a new record of 10 day and 44 seconds. As the Trolls celebrate, Branch emerges panicking over there being too much affection stating he has to be alone. When Poppy asks what they should do next, Branch suggests going home and sitting in silence. Keith suggests a game of hide and seek. When the others turn around Branch has already gone leaving Keith to comment he is good at the game.
Branch has retreated to his bunker and relaxes for some alone time. The sound of running water alerts his and he drops the glass of water he was about to drink from. When he turns off the shower in his bathroom, Cloud Guy emerges. Cloud Guy begins to dry himself off and throwing Branch's towels everywhere until Branch is out of towels. Branch wants Cloud Guy to leave but he says they are roommates now. Branch states that he can't move in without asking, so Cloud Guy asks but moves in anyway when Branch says no, stating that Branch simply said he couldn't move in without asking.
Branch attempts to get rid of him, but Cloud Guy states that he is here to stay. He explains that his parents live next door to him and refuse to acknowledge that he is an adult; they are constantly barging in on him and pestering him. Branch says Cloud guy is just trying to drive him crazy as usual. He states that nothing he can do can make Branch lose his smile.
The episode montages a series of the pair interacting with Branch trying not to lose his smile and Cloud Guy disrupting his living space more and more. Finally, Branch snaps and goes out.
Poppy, still playing hide and seek approaches Branch and tells him his not hiding well. Poppy states "Fun" when Branch says Cloud Guy just moved into his bunker. While talking to Poppy he remembers Cloud Guy only moved in because of his parents.
Branch knocks on Cloud Guy's door. Branch suggests they celebrate him moving in by inviting a couple of guests. At first Cloud Guy is excited then realizes something. To the cloud's horror Branch invited Cloud Guy's parents. Cloud Guy states he will never forgive Branch for this, then putting on a smile says hi to his parents. Branch states that he wouldn't be much of a Troll if he didn't invite his roommates parents over regularly to the horror of Cloud Guy. His parents ask for a hug but Cloud Guy gets his "too slow" routine thrown back at him and his parents proceed to show him affection and generally annoy him.
Branch goes to leave but within moments of him attempting to leave noise alerts him. Now Cloud Guy's parents are moving in. Branch is told by Cloud Guy that he brought this on himself.
The parents soon take over throwing out Branch's leaf vests and making him wear sweaters, while treating him and Cloud Guy like children.
Both Branch and Cloud Guy agree they can't live like that, but Cloud Guy states if they run they will find them like a pair of monsters. Branch realizes the pair won't leave while they believe they need help and suggest he and Cloud Guy team up.
The next morning Cloud Guy's parents find the two not in bed and everything tidy. As the two show breakfast is ready, the parents are horrified they didn't do anything to help the pair. The two have had enough of Branch and Cloud Guy and decide to go visit his sister.
Celebrating victory, Branch says they should work together more often, but Cloud Guy states it won't work. He vacuums up his stuff. He explains to Branch that when things don't bother him, he loses interest in him. He leaves Branch alone and Branch goes back into his normal routines. When it wears off Cloud Guy is gone, he finally realizes he is alone and can relax. Then Keith comes in and says he found him, much to Branch's annoyance.

- This episode is a reference to the sitcom Three's a Crowd, which in turn took its name from the phrase "two's company, three's a crowd"; this refers to a third party who is tagging along with two people, such as a couple, and becomes unwanted company to that couple, often getting in the way of their relationship.
