"Domin-Uh-Ohs" is the second segment of the 3rd episode of the fourth season of Trolls: TrollsTopia, and the 57th overall episode in the series. It premiered in September 2, 2021.
Synopsis[]
When the Trolls unite to set up the longest line of dominoes ever, Laguna goes to great lengths to ensure she doesn't accidentally knock the dominoes over.
Plot[]
Poppy is making an announcement which she says the Trolls will never guess what is about. Laguna asks if it is concerning a big pile of dominoes, to which Poppy confirms as the correct answer. Val Thundershock asks where they got the pile of dominoes from, and Branch explains last night there was a mix-up at Sky Toronto's Funtime Factory. The scene cuts to the Funployees leaving and a Snug-a-lug setting off the machines in a series of domino effects until the button on the Domino-making machine is set off, accidentally making it spew out dominoes. Poppy then says they will not guess what she has in store for them. Laguna once again guesses it has to do with the elaborate display table next to them. Branch brags about making a number of epic domino lines in his day, and he believes that if they work together they can make an epic line with a big finale at the stadium that fans only dream about. And if this doesn't convince them, he hopes the song and dance number can, thus Branch goes to sing about the epic domino stack. Rhythm and Blues interrupt him and say they love the idea, to which Branch gets disappointed as he worked hard on his dance number. Rhythm and Blues manage to convince him to do it anyway.
Soon all the Trolls are working on the lines, but Laguna doesn't. When Poppy asks her, she explains that it is her favorite pastime, but she has a history of accidentally setting off lines prematurely in what she calls "domino-uh-ohs". Poppy can't accept someone she cares about can't do something they love, and is determined to help Laguna.
They go to Val for help. Val explains that when she's nervous out on stage, she just switches off her brain and lets her instincts take over. Laguna tries this, but switches off her brain too well and it takes a bit of work for Val and Poppy to get her to switch on again; but not before Laguna knocks into a speaker setting off a chain reaction in a domino effect.
Next, they go to Rhythm and Blues who set up a discoballagram domino line for Laguna to work with. They aren't real so they can't be knocked over. While Laguna feels at ease with the fake dominoes, she forgets that they aren't real and accidentally hits the Vibe Town controls. It crashes into a rock in Country Corral, setting off a domino effect again.
Branch still has the Trolls working the lines, and Laguna admires it from a safe distance with Poppy. Laguna gives up, Poppy chases her and reminds her dominoes are one of her favorite pastimes, to which Laguna confirms there is no pastime she loves more. As she talks, however, the Trolls wall her and Poppy in with Dominoes. Laguna has a mini-freak out and accidentally sets off a line. She now races to stop the line before it races the grand finale and sets it off prematurely. She makes it in time and is relieved.
While Poppy is celebrating, she accidentally kicks a tile and sets off a line that activates the grand finale. The Trolls are disappointed, but Laguna, now cured of her domin-uh-ohs fear, gets them to start setting up the dominoes again.

Trivia[]
- The rocket finale is likely based on the 1980s and 1990s toyline "Domino Rally". One of the packs sold for the product line featured the grand finale of a rocket ship similar to the one featured in the episode.
- The Fuzzlings dress up as dominoes during Branch's song sequence.
