Synopsis

Jerry's brother, Kelbo visits. Kelbo has informed Jerry that he and his siblings have to retake the Wizards Test due to a technicality. If all of them do not take the test, the Russo Family will lose their powers forever including the kids. Alex, Justin, and Max try to convince their aunt Megan Russo, who stopped speaking to her brothers after Jerry gave his powers to Kelbo and not her, to retake the test. They succeed but Alex lies that her brothers were going to apologize to her, so she leaves.

The kids and adults also gets compared to each other. Alex to Megan, Kelbo to Max, and Justin to Jerry, and Harper to Theresa. With Megan refusing to forgive her brothers and to retake the test, there seems to be no hope left. Realizing that this Wizard competition is starting to tear her, Justin, and Max apart just like Jerry, Kelbo and Megan, Alex gets the family to stick together and much to their relief the official lets them keep their powers since he has never seen a wizarding family so united. In the end, Justin tells Alex that she is nothing like Aunt Megan because she apologized and that's something Aunt Megan never learned how to do.

During the credits, Kelbo is calling Megan but lets Alex do it. She says,"Excuse me,is your refridgerator running?" Megan answers by saying "Alex, I know that's you. I can see Kelbo's name in the caller ID."
