What became of Frida?

The Sparrow Scouts have another meeting, but David and Hilda are worried.

Frida has failed to come to any meetings since their falling out; now 3 weeks ago.

Raven Leader gathers everybody’s attention for great news. Soon, the Sparrow Scouts will hold their badge ceremony

Hilda doesn’t have any badges, and thinks neither does David. He admits however to have earned several, which upsets her.

Raven Leader continues; first they will hold their annual end-of-year camp, and the chance to earn the corresponding badge.

David is sure Frida would like this badge.

So after the meeting, the two friends gather their courage and visit Frida

Frida is clearly not too thrilled to see them.

Hilda and David inform Frida of the oncoming camping trip

And before she can protest, they go to her room. It hasn’t improved much since their last visit.

Frida admits she knows about the camp, but she has other plans for that weekend.

Then the bell rings. Is Frida expecting more visiters?

Frida opens, but there’s nobody there….

…because the visitor somehow already got in.

The girl’s name is Kelly. And she is clearly on friendly terms with Frida

Hilda and David are unsure what to think.

Frida and Kelly have plans for today, and Hilda and David are not invited.

The two girls leave.

And so does David, clearly disappointed.

Black Hounds and house spirits

Later that day, Hilda and her mom go shopping for the camp

The shopping list includes stuff Hilda and her mom should already have, like a flashlight. But somehow, these things went missing since they moved to Trolberg.

As they check out, Johanna spots a newspaper. With a rather disturbing front page article.

Johanna thinks it’s rubbish, but later, on their way home, she hears more people talk about the creature.

Hilda meanwhile spots a strange creature sitting on the sidewalk

Johanna quickly pulls her away, explaining the creature is a Nisse. They’re house spirits, but this one has obviously been evicted.

Hilda feels sorry for the little guy, and reminds her mom of her Sparrow Scouts oath to always help people, animals and spirits.

But Johanna won’t budge; homeless Nisse always did something bad to deserve getting evicted.

Twig isn’t too fond of the Nisse either

That night, the news also reports about the mysterious Black Hound.

Johanna is concerned and thinks Hilda shouldn’t go camping, but Hilda convinces her otherwise.

Helping Tontu

The following morning, the snacks Johanna bought for Hilda’s camping trip are gone. Hilda swears she didn’t eat them however.

So Johanna has to go out and buy new snacks, while Hilda decides to try her luck with Frida one more time.

Kelly and Frida are watching tv at Frida’s house

When there’s knocking on the door, Kelly convinces Frida not to open; it’s probably not for her anyway

When Frida doesn’t open after knocking twice, Hilda leaves

And Kelly watches her go.

When walking home, Hilda spots the Nisse from the day before again.

Despite Johanna’s warnings, she decides to talk to him

The Nisse is named Tontu, but he’d rather be left alone

But since Hilda insists, Tontu tells her more about Nisse.

First; they are not invisible like most people think. They live in a pocket dimension called Nowhere Space, made up of all the unused spaces in a house.

They are bound to obey if the owner of the house they live in orders them to leave.

This also happened to Tontu, though he claims he didn’t do anything wrong

Hilda offers Tontu to come live at her house, but Tontu’s reluctant; there may already be a Nisse there. Hilda claims this is not the case.

Tontu is convinced and follows Hilda home

Hilda would love to see this Nowhere Space for herself, so Tontu takes her there.

The Nowhere Space of Hilda’s house is surprisingly big. And filled with objects she and her mom lost.

Including the missing camping gear, and Hilda’s science homework.

The holes are all entrances or exits to the various unused spaces in the house

But then Tontu’s worst fear is confirmed…

…there’s already another Nisse living in the house. And she’s not happy with the intruder

She violently attacks Tontu

The fight takes them out of Nowhere Space and into the living room…

…and to the kitchen.

They leave a trail of destruction behind

As they use everything they can get their hands on as a weapon

Johanna is in for a nasty surprise when she gets home

And since the other Nisse quickly hides, Tontu gets blamed and is ordered to leave.

The kitchen turned warzone.

Scout Camp

Johanna is upset at Hilda for letting Tontu into the house, but nevertheless drives her to Sparrow Scout camp that evening.

On the way to the camp, Johanna spots the Black Hound….

…but it’s gone a moment later.

The Sparrow Scouts arrive at camp

David is dropped off by his parents.

Johanna shares her concerns about the Black Hound with Raven Leader, but she ensures Johanna everything will be fine

Hilda informs David of her failed attempt to talk to Frida

Meanwhile, at her house, Frida is clearly bored.

For a moment she seems to have second thoughts about not going to camp…

…but then Kelly suddenly shows up and reminds Frida about their plans for that evening

At camp, after the parents have left, Raven Leader sends the scouts on a scavenger hunt, but urges them to stick with their groups at all times.

The Sparrow Scouts have all heard of the Black Hound, and discuss what to think about it.

Then Hilda spots a fire, and against Raven Leaders orders, she and David leave their group to investigate.

It’s Tontu. After the disaster at Hilda’s home, he hoped to find some peace in the woods

David and Hilda help him build a bigger fire, and spend some time talking with him. Tontu tells them about the house he used to live in before his banishment

Then Raven Leader shows up, looking for Hilda and David. The two kids have forgotten the time

Hilda promises to come back later that night with snacks

From the frying pan into the fire

Soon, everyone has retired for the night

Everyone but Hilda that is

And David. The two accidently bump into each other, frightening David

It’s not easy finding Tontu again.

Then they spot a glow from a campfire. Is it Tontu?

No, it’s the Marra!

And Frida is with them!

Kelly is also there, and is evidently a Marra herself. She’s telling the others about a nightmare she gave her last victim

When she’s done telling, the Marra absorb the green flames. Frida included.

Hilda is outraged, and wants to help Frida

David’s had enough however and angrily walks off

He doesn’t get far since he forgot his flashlight. Then something starts to move in the bushes ahead of him.

Thinking it’s the Black Hound, David runs away…

…straight back to the Marra’s campfire. There, in his panic, he bumps into Hilda…

…causing the Marra to notice them.

Frida is surprised to see her former friends in the woods at this hour

The Marra that once tormented David is also there, and recalls how he used to be her favorite victim.

Hilda comes to his aid and orders the Marra to back off. She also demands Frida comes with them.

But it looks like Frida doesn’t want to leave the Marra

So Kelly orders Hilda to leave instead, claiming Frida is with them now and will be a Marra herself one day

That’s too much even for David, and the boy calls out Frida for haning out with the Marra.

As well calling the Marra out on their behavior.

Kelly is furious, but David’s on a roll here

Then something else suddenly catches her attention

David continues, and actually appears to scare the Marra; they back away from him.

David also thinks the Marra are scared of him.

But it’s not David. Suddenly, there’s a loud growl

It’s the Black Hound!

”Aw cruddlesticks!” indeed
