History Recap / HildaS3E3

* YouCantFightFate: Hilda's attempt to bridge peace between the humans and giants ends in failure as the giants decide to leave their world, though at least the one Halvor caught but then free helps to put out the village fires before he leaves as well. Wood Man tells her when they return home that, despite the failure, Halvor and the giants seems to have felt her words, but it will take time before there is any affect.

* AlternateTimeline: Wood Man theorizes that time travel through the Faratok Tree results in these, and thus nothing they do in the past will affect the future. However, the Faratok Tree being destroyed in the present day after burning in flames in the past suggests otherwise, though Wood Man rationalizes that the tree is connected to all its alternate versions by its roots (though he admits he could be thinking of a different tree). On the other hand, no Timeworm showed up this time so whatever Hilda did in the past didn't cause enough changes to summon one.

!!Tropes
* AllThereInTheManual: None of the giants are called by name in this episode. If you want to know their names, you have to read either the graphic novel "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" or the book "Hilda's Book of Beasts and Spirits". For the record: the female snowgiant is named Kald and her captured brother is Drib.
