Wendy & Elliot are traveling in a car and their mom points out every single living thing. Wendy asks if they can ride in their trailer and they do. Shortly after, the trailer comes loose! When they stop rolling, Buddy comes and says hi to them. Wendy sees a girl who tells her not to come to the camp. When she gets into her room, three girls say "we've got her trapped " and Wendy panics. It only turns out to be her roommates. When she lets a kid win the swimming competition, a counselor tells her she shouldn't do that. Then she sees Elliot unconscious. It turns out to be one of her tricks. Deirdre disappears after the Winners Walk and they try to find her but they can't. The next morning Buddy says that Alicia (the girl saying not to come into the camp) disappeared. So did Deirdre. Wendy tries to call a parents but all she gets is a stupid King Jellyjam recording. Buddy suggests baseball and Wendy accidentally hits Buddy in the gut, and she heard the sound. But Buddy wasn't in pain at all.That night, Wendy goes in a room she shouldn't and finds out the counselors are hypnotized. She finds King Jellyjam and all the kids who disappeared are his slaves. Wendy saves them by telling everyone to hit the floor so Ki g Jellyjam's slimy hands couldn't pick them up. He then died from his own stench. A police whistle broke the counselors hypnotism. Two weeks later at home Buddy comes to their house and gives Elliot his sixth King Coin. Then at the same time Wendy & Elliot smell their moms cooking.

And why the ground is always rumbling late at night...
