* "The Windmill"
**
Victoria van Gale's Nisse. It never speaks, can sneak up on people, crawl on walls, and near enter and exit windows. Even worse, there are hints that it has sapience, with the end way it droops as Hilda talks to Tontu.
** Tontu reveals the Nisse doesn't belong to the windmill, and that Victoria didn't ''make'' it per se. She summoned it with black magic. Cue a flashback where the Nisse is summoned, with Victoria chanting.
** David spends most
of the episode, episode suspicious of Victoria, remembering how she nearly got Hilda killed. Then his suspicions are confirmed when he reads the file of papers he stole from her, realizing the windmill is not a sanctuary but a hub for a strange machine.
** The scene where Victoria ambushes Frida and ties her up. Frida was ''about'' to leave with the book she was going to borrow, and says she'll be on her way. Cue a cut where Victoria ties her up, apologizing for the inconvenience. It's AdultFear since Hilda and David made it home, but she didn't.
** Victoria is quite serious when she says she's turned over a new leaf. It's just the wrong kind of tree; her belief is that the Nowhere Space can solve the housing crisis, and hang the consequences of black magic. Frida quite aptly says YoureInsane.
** Tontu says if they don't stop the machine, the Nowhere Space will swallow up all of Trollberg. Hilda and David go OhCrap at the thought.
** David starts untying Frida, who criticizes his technique. The Conjured Nisse then attacks him, as Frida struggles to free the ropes.
David pulls off it's its face, revealing a skull underneath.

underneath. He screams and freezes in fear.
** Hilda tries in vain to convince Victoria to return to the real world. Instead, Victoria lets the second breach swallow her, and it looks like she's merged into it. Hilda goes AlasPoorVillain and escapes with Tontu. Later, we see that Vicotria is on a beach with the Nisse skull, pondering something.
