After Courtney wins a fencing tournament and Conor realises he hasn't won anything (expect at the tournament where he wins a award for 'participant'). When Glenn takes Conor to the circus Glenn gets hired and Conor tries to learn a talent. Conor then gets a job sweeping elephant's feaces. He then realises his talent is sticking his head up an elephants butt. Glenn tells Conor he doesn't likes his talent. Conor ignores Glenn and goes to the circus anyway. Conor doesn't do his talent anymore and gets a "fancy man barf bag".

Jackie convinces the family to visit an eco-village to learn tips on an environmentally friendly lifestyle, but hits a snag when the community director bonds with Glenn instead of her. Meanwhile, Conor gets in touch with his spiritual side [what Conor refers to as a "Super Chicken"] and Courtney connects with her laid-back hippie-peers.
