When an oozy creature shows up in Arcadia, Jim and the gang set out to find it -- while playing parents to two sacks of flour for a school assignment.
!! Tropes for this episode include:
* BlindSeer: Dictatious claims that in his blinded state, he has been receiving visions from Argante. The fact that this gets Gunmar's attention [[GreaterScopeVillain speaks volumes]].
* BlobMonster: Gruesomes are a race of sludge-like monsters that [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier feast on the stone of dead trolls]]. They are smart enough to wear trench-coats and hats when walking through human settlements, but cannot speak full English and usually repeat words people say to them. They are nigh impossible to kill with the exception of dwärkstones and flour. They usually flock to locations where mass troll-death is expected to happen, [[KnightOfCerebus their presence in Arcadia implying its doom at Gunmar's hands.]]
* ChekhovsGun: Toby revealed that he keeps a piece of Bular in his mineral collection, causing the gruesome to go after him.
* ClarkesThirdLaw: When Otto shows a recorded video go Strickler to Gunmar projected against the wall, he demands to know what kind of dark magics were used to make Strickler so large.
* ClosetGeek: Super-butch Draal is just as into their tabletop game as Blinky and Aaarrrgghh!!! are, if not more.
* ContinuityNod: The arm the gumm-gumm lost in "[[Recap/TrollhuntersS2E6HissHissBangBang Hiss Hiss, Bang Bang]]" becomes a plot point here when it is brought in to Arcadia's science museum, making it an easy target for the gruesome.
* CreditsGag: The end credits shows a series of selfies taken of Toby with his flour-sack baby, accompanied by a sentimental piano score.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Toby's parents won the state lottery and went on a world cruise to celebrate. The ship sank when a storm hit and Toby went to live with his nana, all of this happening when he was two years old.
* EggSitting: Everyone in Jim, Claire and Toby's class have to play ParentsForADay to a flour sack as a homework assignment. Jim is with Claire, Toby is with Darci and Steve is with Eli. Oddly enough everyone plays it seriously (though Darci has serious apprehensions about leaving her grade in Toby's butter-fingers).
* HormoneAddledTeenager: This little exchange.
--> '''Coach Lawrence:''' For the next 24 hours, this is your baby.\\
'''Mary:''' Are going to learn how babies are made?\\
'''Coach Lawrence:''' At the flour mill, apparently.
* IndirectKiss: Blink and you'll miss it, but Jim ends up having some of Claire's milkshake at the diner, only for her to take it back.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: Steve and Eli's antics in the episode are [[{{Foreshadowing}} explained]] in [[Recap/TrollhuntersS2E9TheCreepslayerz the next episode]].
* JustForPun: Toby phrases the new mineral exhibit at the science museum as a "rock concert", making it sound like he was bringing his "baby" to an actual musical concert. You can tell he did that on purpose just to get a reaction.
* ParentsAsPeople: Claire implies that she feels incidental in her parent's lives, her mother too busy with her job to really find the time to be with her. Jim admits that the closest thing Jim had to a father was Strickler and we all know how that played out. And then there was what happened to Toby's parents...
* PresentCompanyExcluded: When Blinky confirms that the new rock at the museum is a troll arm, he asks flabbergasted who would be so careless as to lose an arm. Draal awkwardly responds "not mine."
* PresentDayPast: In Strickler's video for the Janus Order, one of his lines were "Welcome to the 20th Century", implying that the video was recorded before 2000 and that they may have suspected Gunmar's return far sooner.
* PunnyName: Each of the flour sacks are given such names. Toby and Dacri have "Sir Isaac Gluten", Logan and Mary "Dwight D. Eisenflour", and Jim and Claire calling it "Petunia", a take on "flour/flower" (though Jim wanted to call it "Jim Lake, Jr. Jr.").
* ShoutOut: The board and pieces used by Blinky, Draal and Aaarrrgghh!!! for their [[TabletopGames roleplaying game]] is in-fact the ''Maces and Talons'' board from ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk''.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jim designs their flour-sack "baby" after Claire right down to her hair and hair-pins (though curiously tries giving it the masculine name "Jim Lake, Jr. Jr.").
* UnexplainedRecovery: Toby's flour sack is somehow miraculously okay despite having thrown it to kill the gruesome. [[spoiler:Explained in the next episode.]]
* TheUnpronounceable: A minor gag involves that only Blinky can properly pronounce dwärkstone.
--> '''Blinky:''' Not a rock. Dwärkstone.\\
'''Jim:''' Dork-stone?\\
'''Blinky:''' Dwärkstone.\\
'''Claire:''' Dork-stone?\\
