The Lab Rats confide in Leo their frustrations at having to constantly train and their desire to do normal teenage things. Leo explains the concept of going on strike so they face off against Davenport, who then calls their strike bluff and raises the stakes by recruiting Leo as a Lab Rat "scab" for an upcoming demonstration.

Leo performs a magic act to earn a spot in the school talent show but loses his slot to Chase who uses his powers to cheat and create "magic" of his own. Leo then sets out to sabotage Chase but inadvertently releases Chase's rampaging alter ego, "Spike," to wreak havoc on the school. Meanwhile a frustrated Bree watches as Adam and Owen attempt to use butter as art.
