Summary
Canon divergence in episode 10 of Trollhunters season 3, “A House Divided”, when Jim enters Merlin's bath and potion to become half Troll.
What if... Strickler pushes the kids to break down the door... and changes a life forever (or reveals it)...
Jim’s friends had begged him not to repeat the mistake of doing it alone like he did with the Darklands. Even Strickler, trying to respect the young man’s resolve, knew the burden on Jim's shoulders could drive him to sacrifice himself again. Fearing the worst, the Changeling broke down the magically reinforced bathroom door — likely enchanted by Merlin himself — using all his strength.
Just as Jim was nearly submerged in the potion, Strickler reached out and grabbed his arm.
But it was too late. The potion had already taken effect — and the contact disrupted the spell.
A pulse of wild magic erupted from the tub, striking everyone in the room.
Merlin, sensing something terribly wrong, rushed upstairs. As shadows consumed the space — not just Jim, but everything — he burst into the bathroom, only to glimpse the spreading void.
Before it took him too, he roared
"What have you done?!
And then, there was nothing.
