Recap[]
June banishes a bunch of trolls hammering away at a tomb in the graveyard. The next day, weird stuff happens but no one but the local monsters makes a big deal out of it, thinking it's just Terry the Trickster.
June is helped in tracking down the trolls she banished earlier.
However, when June investigates Terry, everything seems normal.
The monsters of Orchid Bay pester her long enough to prompt June to invite them over. They crowd into June's room to get her to deal with it and to find the source of the evil mojo. When trolls are mentioned, June explains that she banished a few blue trolls recently. Monroe explains that she just banished Trelleckians, trolls who are specifically tasked with keeping Loki locked away. Just then, Loki's seal appears in the sky and turns everything in Orchid Bay twisted.
A glowing seal of Loki appears ominously in the sky
June goes to face Loki, it turns out Terry the Trickster was possessed by Loki and he is planning to feast on the magical energy of Orchid Bay to return to full power. June is then caught in a battle with him, then a game show where Loki tricks her into a ring fight with a raging wolf-beast by lying about the prizes. Ray Ray and Monroe show up in the nick of time holding a staff for June. While Loki's distracted and upset at this interruption, June takes the staff, tells Loki she was just stalling him and summons a big lightning show. The summoned deity turns out to be Thor, Loki's brother, who summons new Trelleckians who start hammering away at Loki to banish him yet again.
