- Back in Fangorn, Pippin is messing around with some sketchy forest water that may or may not make them taller and able to speak entish.
- Merry takes the water from him and begins drinking himself when they are beset upon by a… tree.
- It buries them in its roots until they are completely covered. Luckily, Treebeard is there to tame it. He tells them the forest is growing dangerous as the trees have much hate.
