Ep 9. In Good Hands

In Good Hands is the ninth episode of the third season of DreamWorks' Trollhunters. The series follows the adventures of Jim Lake Jr., a teenager who has taken up the mantle of the Trollhunter, a defender of both the human and troll worlds. In this episode, as Jim sets out to track down the rogue troll Magmatron and retrieve his stolen amulet, he allies himself with a group of trolls who call themselves the Hands of the Merlyns. Together, they discover that Magmatron is using Jim's amulet to power his evil intentions, and they must take him down before he causes any more damage.

The episode begins with Jim and his mentor, Blinky, on the trail of Magmatron, who has stolen the amulet that gives Jim his trollhunting powers. They follow the trail to a secret underground chamber where they are ambushed by Magmatron's minions. In the ensuing battle, Jim is separated from Blinky and is forced to flee deeper into the complex.

As Jim makes his way through the tunnels, he encounters a group of trolls who identify themselves as the Hands of the Merlyns. They reveal that they are a group of renegades who have dedicated themselves to protecting the troll world from those who would do it harm. The leader of the group, Vendel, recognizes Jim as the Trollhunter and offers to help him retrieve his amulet.

With the help of Vendel and his team, Jim tracks down Magmatron, who has been using the amulet's power to create an army of stone warriors. Jim confronts Magmatron and demands that he return the amulet, but Magmatron refuses and summons his army to attack.

The Hands of the Merlyns join Jim in the battle, and together they are able to overcome Magmatron's army. Jim is finally able to retrieve his amulet, and Magmatron is defeated.

In the aftermath of the battle, Vendel thanks Jim for his help and offers to make him an honorary member of the Hands of the Merlyns. Jim declines, stating that he needs to return to his duties as the Trollhunter. As he leaves, Vendel warns Jim that the battle with evil is never truly over and that he must remain vigilant.

As the episode comes to a close, Jim reunites with Blinky and the other members of his team, revealing that he has successfully retrieved his amulet. However, he tells them that they must remain on guard, as evil still lurks in the shadows of both the human and troll worlds.

Overall, In Good Hands is an action-packed episode of Trollhunters that features exciting battles, new alliances, and insightful lessons about the dangers of complacency. It serves as a reminder that the fight against evil is never truly over and that even the greatest heroes can only succeed through the help of their allies.
