Synopsis
When Sarmoti accidentally makes a mistake on the show while trying to improve his act and making him lose his position as league lion, Siegfried and Roy decide it is time for Sarmoti to retire and search for a replacement. Larry and Kate do not know how to tell Sarmoti that he has been replaced. Larry asks Snack to help him and the two visit Roy to convince him to keep Sarmoti in the show as the star. However, things go wrong when Snack makes a mistake and Larry saves Roy, but becomes the lead lion in the process. Later, after Larry finally tells Sarmoti he got fired, he takes it well, but the two soon start fighting with each other when Larry offers to take Sarmoti home. Siegfried and Roy decide to move him in with Larry and Kate as they mistake Larry and Sarmoti's fighting as love, much to their dismay.
