Escape from the hound

The hound closes in on protagonists and Marra alike

Even the Marra are afraid of him.

And so is David. Hilda however is amazed the dog is real after all

But he’s not just real, he’s also hungry

Kelly finally shows her true feelings for Frida…

…as she pushes her “friend” towards the hound as bait

The Marra vanish, leaving Hilda, David and Frida to deal with the hound

As Kelly hoped, the dog goes for Frida

Hilda quickly pulls her away, and the three friends run back to the camp

And the hound gives chase

They can’t outrun the beast

So Hilda distracts him with some snacks

It works, and the hound turns its attention from the three friends to the food

But they’re not out of trouble yet; Raven Leader catches them being out at night.

She’s quite surprised to see Frida with Hilda and David. And dismayed to learn the hound has been sighted near the camp

Not wanting to take any risks, Raven Leader decides to evacuate the camp

She tries to keep order despite the emergency, but the hound’s growl causes the scouts to panic

Friendship rekindled

All scouts start packing at once. David has trouble fitting his sleeping bag in his backpack.

Frida offers to help. At first David doesn’t want to, but eventually he agrees

Frida also admits David was right about the Marra; they are not her true friends

She admires David for the way he stood up to the Marra

Hilda asks Frida to help pack her stuff too, since she still needs to find Tontu

Frida naturally has no idea who Hilda is talking about, but Hilda will explain later

Unfortuantely, Raven Leader stops Hilda from going into the woods alone.

The parents arrive to pick up their kids. Johanna will give Frida a ride home since her parents don’t know she’s at the camp

Johanna is relieved everybody is safe, but Hilda is worried about Tontu

Johanna also brings up Hilda’s badges again. Hilda’s reaction puzzles Frida

As they arrive at Frida’s house, Hilda gives Frida a drawing of Tontu. Frida immediately recognizes him as a nisse.

Knowing by now how people think about nisse, Hilda convinces Frida Tontu was wrongfully accused of vandalism.

Frida believes Hilda, and promises to help look for him.

When asked, Hilda admits to Frida that she doesn’t have a single badge, and is afraid to admit this to her mom.

So Frida promises to help Hilda earn at least one badge the following day

Last chance at a badge

The following day, Frida and David come to pick up Hilda

They will go door to door to collect stuff for the Sparrow Scout jumble sale, which will earn them the fundraising badge

Johanna wants to come along because of the Black Hound, but Frida reminds her the safety patrol is guarding the streets

So the three friends set out

As Frida predicted, there are safety patrol members looking for the hound

Hilda wonders what they will do if they find the beast. Frida has no idea

The collection grows quick, as people have a lot of stuff to give away all of a sudden

They also visit Kelly’s house, who is surprised to see Frida alive. And dressed as a Sparrow Scout.

Kelly’s mom has a lot to give for the jumble sale.

Including Kelly’s favorite stuffed toy; Fluff Bunn

Her mask slips

She tries to donate it anyway, ashamed to admit she still likes it. But Frida convinces her otherwise.

You should never throw away your real friends. Something Frida has learned by now

Tontu’s everywhere

Hilda keeps looking for Tontu

Then Twig finally spots him

Hilda runs after him

Frida warns her to be at Scout Hall on time, or she won’t get credit for the badge

When Hilda finally catches up with him however, it turns out to be a different Nisse….also named Tontu

He tells Hilda that her Tontu is not the only homeless Nisse. All over town Nisse are being banished

His story is confirmed. Hilda meets more homeless Nisse…

…all of them named Tontu…

…all of them banished after supposedly being wrongfully accused of vandalism…

…and they all claim the other Nisse are lying.

Hilda asks one Nisse why they don’t make a home in the Nowhere Space of the outside world. The Nisse warns her about the dangers of that place.

Then the clock strikes 3

Hilda runs back to Scout Hall, but too late. Raven Leader is gone. And so is Hilda’s last chance for any badge.

The night before the badge ceremony

That night the news reports the hound ate 3 people. Johanna quickly turns it off

She still thinks Hilda will get a lot of badges tomorrow, and Hilda still doesn’t have to guts to tell the truth.

Later in bed, she shares her worries with Alfur

Alfur offers to help solve the problem with a contract, and is disappointed himself when Hilda reminds him that doesn’t work for humans

Then a howl from the Black Hound startles them

Alfur theorizes the hound is a Barghest; a creature normally living in the mountains

Hilda thus theorizes the hound is probably lost, and scared.

Tontu finally found

The day of the badge ceremony is here, and Hilda is visibly nervous

Hilda decides to walk to Scout Hall, so hopefully she can find Tontu

Instead, she finds the house Tontu used to live in

She asks the owner about Tontu, and gets to hear quite a different story than what Tontu told her

Apparently, the house’s owner caught Tontu red-handed as he trashed her living room, no doubt looking for something to steal

Hilda leaves, not sure what to believe. Then she spots something moving in a trash can

It’s Tontu

Hilda is quite mad at him, both because of what she just heard and because Tontu doesn’t seem to care Hilda sacrificed her last chance at a badge to find him

Tontu keeps claiming he’s innocent, and that the other Nisse who claimed to be innocent must be lying

They arrive at Scout Hall. Hilda suggests Tontu tries the nowhere space of the building

So Tontu enters the Scout Hall’s nowhere space, while Hilda goes inside for the badge ceremony

A chase through Nowhere Space

Not much later, the badge ceremony is in progress. Frida is up next

She earned quite a lot of badges

In Nowhere Space, Tontu is in for an unpleasant surprise

The Black Hound is there!

It’s David’s turn. He even earned the Friend to Insects badge

Just as Raven Leader announces the ceremony over, Tontu comes crashing in from Nowhere Space…

…followed by the Black Hound.

Tontu quickly pulls Hilda into Nowhere Space to escape the beast.

From there, they hop to the nowhere space of another house

But the hound also knows that trick and follows them

Tontu and Hilda hop from building to building

With the hound hot on their trail

The chase brings them to the nowhere space of Frida’s house, where Hilda finally finds Frida’s missing book

She quickly returns it to Frida’s room. At least that’s one promise kept.

The hound is still on their trail

Finally, they arrive at Hilda’s own house

And the hound catches up to them.

Jellybean’s story

The other Tontu now comes to their aid. After all, it’s her house too

She confronts the Black Hound

Which proceeds to…lick her?

Jellybean?

Could it be?

Yes! It’s Tontu’s old pet, Jellybean

Tontu and Hilda are naturally surprised by this turn of events

Tontu proceeds to tell; when she was a kid, she found Jellybean, back then a puppy

She secretly brought him home and took care of him

But one day her parents found out, and her father decided to get rid of the hound

Hilda theorizes Tontu’s parents must have known how big Jellybean would become

Tontu reminds his namesake that Jellybean ate 3 people

Tontu whispers something in the dog’s ear

And at his masters’ request…

…Jellybean vomits out his victims, alive and well

They run away screaming, just as Johanna comes home

She is glad to see Hilda’s okay

Hilda assures her mom Jellybean is not dangerous

She realizes now that it was Jellybean, and not the Nisse, who trashed all those houses

And since he always disappeared again before the house owners awakened, the Nisse got blamed

Run for the wall

Then the Safety Parol arrives, having traced Jellybean to Hilda’s house

With great effort, Hilda convinces her mom to help Jellybean escape the safety patrol

The sirens startle Jellybean

In his panic, he runs outside. The Safety Patrol officers try to catch them in their nets, but they are too small

At Tontu’s request, they use Johanna’s car to try and lure Jellybean out of the city

Johanna races for the town wall, with Jellybean close behind…

…and the Safety Patrol in turn is chasing Jellybean

They’re almost at the gate

But then Jellybean catches up with the car…

..and blocks Johanna’s view, causing her to steer off the road…

…putting the car on a collision course with the wall

Out of other options, the two Tontu’s join forces to do what no Nisse would ever dare to do…

…send the car, and everyone in/on it, into the Nowhere Space of the outside world

After a few seconds in this great void, the car re-emerges on the other side of the wall. Total loss.

Hilda, Johanna and Tontu are safe however

Sadly, Jellybean and his owner got separated from the others. They could be anywhere now…if they got out of Nowhere Space at all

All’s well that ends well

Sometime later, at home, Johanna has a surprise for Hilda

A homemade badge to make up for the lack of any official ones

She is still proud of Hilda, badges or no badges

Tontu now lives with them. From Nowhere Space, he offers Johanna and Hilda hot choco.

Alfur is thrilled to have learned about Nowhere Space. Think of all the missing paper work that could be found there

Frida and David drop by

And as much as she likes the unofficial badge, Hilda plans to have it removed before the next Sparrow Scouts meeting

The three friends begin to scheme how this could be done, as the camera pans away from Trolberg

Elsewhere, Tontu and Jellybean got out of Nowhere Space after all

And wouldn’t you know, they emerged near the ruins of Hilda’s old home

Wood Man is also there, and explains to Tontu how Jorgen crushed the house after Hilda befriended him

And knowing Hilda, she would no doubt do it again.
