When the Trolls secretly help Smidge with her magic show, she thinks her powers are real.

Smidge is working out in her pod when she sends her workout band flying; it hits a part of her pod with a safe in, from which an old scrapbook falls out.
Smidge invites Poppy, Cooper, Satin and Chenille to meet her and presents herself on a stage as the "Great Smidgini". It turns out the scrapbook Smidge found was an old family scrapbook detailing the adventures of her family. Smidge comes from a long line of magicians, but her parents were the physical type. The scrapbook has left her feeling close to her ancestors, but when she tries out their tricks, they all fail and she comes to the conclusion that the talent must have skipped a generation and she isn't as close to them as she thinks. Smidge walks off sad, but Poppy plans to give her a bit of success to boost her confidence.
Poppy gathers more of their friends by the time she finds Smidge and reintroduces her act. Poppy manages to get her to continue the act. Smidge tries one more time, and this time her friends make out that her tricks are working when in reality they're still failing. After the first trick succeeds, she tries more, her friends faking her success constantly and her confidence growing. Eventually, she gets to the point that she's making disappearing tricks, and on a whim Guy Diamond farts a puff of glitter and vanishing. Unfortunately this convinces Smidge that she can do real magic, and not just illusions.
DJ Suki calls for help alongside other Trolls as a Kitty Critter has entered the village. Despite how cute the large beast is, its playfulness is very destructive. Convinced she can do magic, Smidge tries to take on the Kitty Critter when Poppy calls for everyone to head to high ground. DJ points to Smidge and alerts Poppy that she isn't running away. Smidge tries the magic disappearing trick and the Kitty Critter doesn't vanish.
The Kitty Critter takes Smidge back to its den to play with her. Smidge can't escape. Her friends show up later when the Kitty Critter has fallen asleep, and Smidge is upset that she found out she doesn't have magic powers in the hard way. Poppy apologizes for her trick and the group of friends pulls Smidge free. The Kitty Critter wakes up and the friends are in trouble, but Smidge uses the illusions she knows to escape, finally pulling many of them off and scaring the critter away when the cave begins to collapse.
The group of friends escape unharmed, leaving Smidge to wonder how she made the cave crumble. It is unknown to her, but it turns out that two Bergens were doing keep-fit above the cave.
