==Plot==
In Rose and Petunia's house, Rose tries to balance a stack of books on her head while Petunia adds more books to increase difficulty. A ringing sound is triggered, causing Rose to fall over.
The twins heard the sound and run downstairs to open the door, but nobody is here. The twins wondered who ringed the bell, then Petunia noticed a letter in the mailbox and calls Rose to see it.
The letter turns out to promotion an to a local talent show called Bay County Talent Search. The twins are shocked when Rose has happened to be auditioned to the talent show.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the troll guards are trying to impress King Boogieman and Queen Peregia, but they first reject the jester, then the gymnastics team, but however, the monarchs enjoyed the break dancers' performance, with King Boogieman commenting that it fits the nature of the Troll Kingdom.
Meanwhile in Butterfly Valley, a young butterfly fairy named Arcina is strolling with her mother when she passes by a flyer advertising a local talent show entitled Butterfly Superstar. She walks back to notice the flyer. Arcina runs to her mother and leads her to the flyer.
Rose, Petunia and their parents are in a car resembling the Toyota Corolla E100, with their father Bill driving them to Panama City, but Petunia thought they are going to Panama (a country in Central America), then Bill corrected her that they are going to the city of Panama City.
At the famous Redwood Hotel in Butterfly Trails, dozens of butterfly fairies are signing for audition. Arcina is at the very back of a long queuing line with her mother.
Meanwhile in the Baxter-Jams Studios facility in Panama City, Rose is waiting to sign for her audition. Supporting her are Petunia, Evan and their parents.
Back at the Redwood Hotel, Arcina had successfully signed for audition and she performed a song to the judges, who are impressed by her voice. One of the judges told Arcina that she will advance to the talent show finals.
In the Great Troll Palace, Queen Peregia looks through the telescope, noticing the butterfly fairies entering the Butterfly Trails Municipal Auditorium, then King Boogieman came and also spot the butterfly fairies, so the monarchs order the troll guards to invade Butterfly Valley, which they meant Butterfly Trails.
The Bay County Talent Search finals take place at the outskirts of Panama City and people gather up their places, including Rose and Petunia's close friends. The host announces the followings finalists:
#Jenny Foster
#Lou Berne
#Grant Taylor
#Howard Martin
#Kendrick Myers
#Alex Austin
#Rose Hanson
Rose's family is cheering for her, then the show began with Jenny Foster, who performs a song she written titled "Love You Everyday" with a piano. The audience are weeping over her emotional performance, including Petunia, who cites this to be the best thing she ever saw in her entire life.
Meanwhile at the Butterfly Trails Municipal Auditorium, the host of the Butterfly Superstar finals, a butterfly fairy caricature of Marc Summers, introduces the contestant, including Arcina, to the audience.
Back at the Panama City outskirts, the next contestant is Kendrick, who performs a sketch with his puppet named Beatrice. The audience enjoyed his performance, except Petunia, who felt rather bored. Howard goes next, performing an impossible magic trick he thought nobody has ever imagined. Petunia pointed out that he was actually standing on a stack of crates, all painted black.
Meanwhile in Butterfly Valley, the troll guards are trying to find the target, but they get lost in a grassy maze. They soon struggle to find their way from the maze.
A nervous Rose goes next, as her family cheers for her. She balances five books on her head while standing on one leg. The audience are impressed and Grant goes next, as he cooks 100 cupcakes in five minutes, but the audience aren't impressed with his skill, then it is Alex's turn. He creates his original artwork by only splashing paint onto the canvas. The artwork reminded Petunia of a similar one by Jessa.
The last contestant is Lou, who performs with her pet dog Fuchsia. She holds two hula hoops for Fuchsia to jump and she ended up landed on her favorite pillow. Fuchsia eats her food as the audience applaud to her and Lou.
Meanwhile in Butterfly Valley, the trolls are still trying to find the target but they only found a stripy tent, then they found what seems to be an empty Capital Stadium, but a butterfly fairy security guard prevented them from entering the stadium.
Back at the Panama City outskirts, due to the late arrival of the musical act that would perform the interval act, the host tells the audience that the show will take a one-hour break, which gives time for the twins to visit Butterfly Trails using the magic flower, but the act finally arrived in time, thus preventing the the twins from doing so.
After the interval act, the host now reveals the results of the Bay County Talent Search finals. The winner is eventually revealed to be Jenny, leaving Rose as the runner-up. Rose's family still felt proud of her, but Petunia is busy congratulating Jenny, then Rose came and congratulate her.
The troll guards have finally found the Butterfly Trails Municipal Auditorium and they sneak past a sleeping security guard, as they enter the auditorium, the audience and most contestants freaked out and exit the venue.
When the twins are about to leave home, the magic flower in Rose's pocket glows as Butterfly Trails is in danger, so she and Petunia decide to finally enter Butterfly Trails using the magic flower.
The twins arrive at the Butterfly Trails Municipal Auditorium and stop the troll guards with their freezing spells. Once they clear out the trolls, Rose brings back the butterfly fairies with her telepathic spell.
The host of Butterfly Superstar finally announces the winner of the talent show to be Arcina. The twins congratulate her as she was bestowed with a perculiar trophy. She thanks Rose and Petunia for saving the talent show.
The twins bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and return home using the magic flower. The kids came and Brad asks Rose if she won the talent show and she responded that she lost to Jenny Foster. The kids are shocked about this, then Jenny came and greeted the kids, surprising them. She told Rose that she should not give up, as she can still get her chance to win another competition. Petunia jokingly cheers "go, Rose, go!" as the kids laugh as the episode ends.
