Official Synopsis
The Eternal Night covers Arcadia in shadow, leading to a long-awaited showdown between Gunmar and the newly transformed Trollhunter.
Summary
The ground under the bridge in the canals begins to crack open, conveying the approach of the Eternal Night when the radio host announces another one of Morgana's tremors, and School letting out for the summer. Meanwhile, Aja and krel, and Douxie, and everyone else are preparing for the battle of the bands. At Jim's house, Blinky is formulating their plan of attack with Merlin saying their focus should be Trollmarket, not Arcadia. Just then, a third tremor hits, meaning the Eternal Night is in the hour. Jim declares Gunmar and Angor Rot his fight, saying that clearing the square first would be best to prevent any casualties. Stricklander and Nomura agree to go with Claire and Toby to the battle of the bands to clear out the square while AAARRRGGHH!!! goes with Merlin to fight Morgana. Once their plan is set in motion, Jim confronts Merlin about the Darklands, worrying about the safety of the changeling familiars. Thankfully, he presents Jim with an evacuation plan for them all: a cradle stone, that NotEnrique will be using to transport the babies out of the Darklands safely (with the assistance of Chompsky). With their mission set, they jump through the fetch to evacuate the nusery before its too late.
Barbara says goodbye to Jim and departs for the hospital, promising to be safe. In the Forge, Gunmar recites his declaration for taking back the surface to his army while Angor Rot watches from the balcony. Morgana joins her champion. She briefly questions his faith, but he vows to kill Jim himself for taking his eye and his life once. She vows that he will be ruling by her side when the world becomes hers. When he asks about Gunmar, Morgana replies that he's nothing more than pawn for her master plan, and she will dispose of him when she gets what she wants. Back at Jim's house, everyone gears up for the final battle.
In the Darklands, NotEnrique has second thoughts about this mission when he feels the tremors. Chompsky lifts his spirits with a moving speech (which is really just the English equivalent of jibber jabber). At the Battle of the Bands, Aja and Krel finish their DJ debut, and Darci and Mary prepare to go on. Wearing her armor, Claire goes on stage and tries to announce the evacuation, but the girls just start playing thinking it's a new song. Finally, Gunmar tells Morgana all is ready, and she shoots a magic beam out of the heartstone through the staff of Avalon. The beam shoots out of the concrete ground of the canal into the sky, with Claire seeing it from the stage.
