A plumber creates chaos in the studio by putting up a complex pipe system that seems to run everywhere. Meanwhile, everyone waits for that weeks guest star, The Great Presidio, a magician Mr. Zoblotnick once saw and now wants on the show. Unfortunately, Presidio is not quite what he once was (at first they mistake him for a bum wandering the studio). Presidio is paranoid of a dog that wears a hat and smokes a cigar because he brings transformation. Lester accidentally finds a sketch showing a title logo for "The Betty Hudson Show." Nicole overhears Presidio telling Betty about the dog and develops a plan. Lester tries to learn magic to make up for Presidio's lack of awareness and steal the show. Nicole convinces Betty to put a hat and cigar on Snaps and release him during Presidio's act in order to ruin him and allow Lester to shine. But the plan backfires and seeing Snaps transforms Presidio into the great and powerful magician he once was. He turns Nicole into a lizard and makes Lester disappear.
