(Two Scorpions greet each other)

Butcher: Carson.

Carson: Butcher.

(Above them a fire is lit up, Delta opens the curtains of a fire, and she and Holly make their way to the house)

Delta Dawn: So where do you think our friends are?

Holly Darlin': If I had to guess, I'd say in a Scorpion's stomach.

Delta Dawn: [sighs] Could you try to be positive? Just once. You might like it.

Holly Darlin': Okay. I'm sure they're not only alive, but about to be delivered to us on a silver platter.

Delta Dawn: Thank you. That wasn't so hard, was it? [she hears a sound, Holly listens] Listen.

Wilder: This is gonna be the best Countryfest ever! Such a great idea I had.

Chef Scorpio: Yes. Tomorrow is Countryfest, everyone. And it must be perfect!

Scorpions: Yes, ma'am!

Chef Scorpio: Feels great to be ordering everyone around again.

Delta Dawn: Holly, look!

Holly Darlin': They're alive?

Delta Dawn: And on a silver platter, too. We were both right.

Chef Scorpio: And to mark the occasion, look. I found your old Troll bib.

Wilder: Wow! I bet you still fit. [he places it on] Like a glove!

(The bib snaps off and Clampers laugh)

Wilder: You think that's funny? We'll see who's laughing when I bite your yummy head off. When I bite all your yummy heads off. [he notices something] Wait a minute. Chef, this isn't enough yummy heads to feed all of Scorpion Town. How are we supposed to have Countryfest if there's not enough Country Trolls?

Chef Scorpio: There's plenty more where that came from, sir.

Wilder: Are you sure? Because I promised everyone a Country Troll.

Chef Scorpio: No, no, no, sir! Everything will be fine. If I were truly worried... would I be willing to do this? [she grabs Wyatt]

Delta Dawn: Wyatt! [Holly pulls her back and covers her mouth]

Wilder: [gasps] My first Troll!

Chef Scorpio: Go on, eat, Mayor Wilder. Enjoy a taste of true happiness.

Wilder: Shouldn't we wait for Countryfest?

Chef Scorpio: Every day is Countryfest when you have Country Trolls.

Wilder: Yeah, I guess. But my mom said the first time should be special.

Chef Scorpio: Well, you're the mayor now.

Wilder: Yeah, I am the mayor. But I think I should share this moment with all the kingdom.

Chef Scorpio: Eat it! [she shoves Wyatt in his mouth]

(Delta gasps in horror)

Chef Scorpio: Madley, lock these Trolls in your room and guard them with your life. [throws a spoon at her head]

Hadley: Yes, Chef. [they leave]

Delta Dawn: Holly, we have to save him!

Holly Darlin': Save him from what? His stomach?!

Delta Dawn: We didn't see him chew. We didn't see him swallow!

Holly Darlin': [sighs] Face it, Delta. Sometimes people go into other people's mouths... and they don't come out. If we go after Wyatt now, we're goin' to get eaten. [she places a hand on Delta's shoulder] I'm sorry... but it's too late for him.

(She gasps seeing Delta chase after Hadley)

Holly Darlin': Delta! [she follows Delta]
