However, not only did she have to stay near the caves she found the Pockite in, hence founding Littleton, but she had to protect them from people like her rival Grunwalda (Who bears a resemblance to Griselle Grande) on her own. She also discovered that the more the locket's power was used, the more Pockite energy was transferred into the person or object shrunk. Realizing that's why the locket's powers drained, the team follows a map to a pocket-sized tunnel in the history section of the library after sneaking back in. However, Nicolas' bologna sandwich is discovered to be a perfect substitute for the poloxium Griselle needs to power her new freeze ray, which temporarily freezes whoever or whatever it touches in a translucent blue diamond-like material, and plans to use it on the Pocket Posse when she finds them shrunk down and trying to enter Prudence's secret tunnel. NOTES: It is revealed Prudence Pocket was a pirate, and that she created the Pocket Locket before becoming the founder and first mayor of Littleton. She was also the first of Polly's ancestors to make Littleton a better place. When Nicholas claims that the locket malfunctioning is a result of Polly angering the "Patrons of the Paranormal", Lila, once again being offended by a minor sexist remark, retorts "Why not the Matrons?" This is similar to some peoples' views of whether God is a man or a woman. | ||||||||

After discovering the existence of Prudence's locket, she thought the captain was keeping the power all for herself, especially since she trusted no one else with this knowledge. But when their chase led to both of them being shrunk and trapped in the cave, Prudence tries in vain to stop Grunwalda from causing a chain reaction from breaking apart a Pockite crystal. Following her escape, Prudence went on to be the first mayor of Littleton, and the events of her story arc (mentioned in episode 1 and the 2-part mid-season finale) went on, not knowing that the liquid Pockite froze around Grunwalda and kept her alive for 300 years. After reclaiming her locket and tricking the pirate, the kids escape, only to get caught and frozen into miniature figurines by Griselle after a failed escape attempt by Penelope. By the time they "thaw", they discover Gwen and Griselle have hooked Polly's locket to an advanced version of their shrink ray from episode 2 and have retreated into their fallout shelter, as they plan to return in three months to conquer the shrunken citizens of Littleton without being shrunken down, too. Not wanting to make the same mistake Prudence did, Polly leads her team in the attempt to recreate Prudence's theories of the locket making them super-tiny. This allows them to hop into the inner working of the machine after getting the locket back, and shuts down the ray. However, they all have to pull Polly out when the effect wears of and enlarges her left hand too soon. After being restored to full size, Polly gives her family history report at school, and dedicates it not only to her Grandma, but also to Lila, Shani and Nick, who proved themselves honorary Pockets (a minor issue discussed in the last episode, and this one during their confrontation with Grunwalda) and that they are the best friends she ever picked. The episode, and Season 1, ends as follows: Grandma Penelope adds her own recount of adventures to a continuation of Prudence Pocket's manuscript before giving it over to Polly so that she can chronicle the future adventures of the Pocket Posse for the next locket-bearers to come; Griselle and Gwen, unaware of Polly and her friends victory, remain in their shelter and laugh maniacally; and, in the most cliche of cliffhanger endings, Grunwalda is revealed to have survived the cave in of the Pockite tunnels, now revealed to have been infused with the crystals' energy as she climbs out of the rubble and swears "I'll get ye,Polly Pocket!" and cackles madly. NOTES: It is revealed Prudence Pocket's former shipmate and rival, the Gruesome Grunwalda, was frozen in suspended animation for 300 years after a tragic accident in the Pockite cavern. Though her hair, behaviorisms and facial features have a slight resemblance to Griselle Grande, it is not yet confirmed that she is the latter's ancestor. If the ARE related, then she is also the second Grande to don the Pocket Locket before Polly reclaims it. In the end, she becomes affected by the Pockite's magic again, this time gaining glowing pink eyes and enhanced strength as she plots her revenge on Polly and her friends.
