Sofia invites Cedric to visit his parents however he is not keen on coming because his father has a habit of interrupting him when he tries to cast a spell.

While the Buttercups spend time with the retired sorcerers, Sofia tries to help Cedric prove to his father that he is a great sorcerer and earn the family wand. However every time Cedric tries to cast a spell, Goodwin keeps interrupting him and he gets it wrong. In the end Goodwin blames Cedric for his mistakes and doesn't listen that he was actually the one at fault.

Later on in the day, Sofia, Cedric and Goodwin enter the conjuring contest against an elderly sorcerer and the other Buttercups. Sofia, Cedric and Goodwin are close to winning but when Cedric tries the answer "Snowman" to their riddle, Goodwin again interrupts and they turn everyone into snowmen. Cedric tries to undo it all but again Goodwin interrupts and he accidentally conjures up a little sun causing the snowmen to melt. Sofia now thinks that enough is enough and finally gets him to see that the only reason Cedric makes mistakes because he keeps interrupting him, even though he was trying to help. Finally Goodwin listens and steps aside allowing Cedric to change everyone back and win the contest for them.
