"All That Glitters Is Not Goldfish" is the 35th episode of Season 4. When Jojo and Casey take Corky on a "vacation," they run into Prince Eli of Seagypt, and they help him stop his sister, Princess Alexandria, from taking over the kingdom. However, Prince Eli is a very sneaky snork.
While Corky is doing his daily job, he sees the guards all over Snorkland, so Casey and Jojo assure him (after freaking out over the possibility of him being replaced) that they're only there so he could take a vacation. Corky doesn't fully understnad the concept of "time off," so they try making suggestions. However, he shows them a book of rules and regulations, so they end up nixing every idea except for a nice, quiet picnic in the tidepools. A weak Prince Eli - once ruler of Seagypt - slowly swims over and tells the snorks of his evil sister Princess Alexandria taking over Seagypt with the septor of power, and all he wants is to get it back so he could rule once again. The snorks agree to go to Seagypt and help him out. They plot to take her down by putting on disguising and distracting her guards.
Eli ends up getting the septor of power back, but instead he becomes evil and takes over Seagypt. This leaves a seemingly innocent Princess Alexandria locked behind bars with Casey, Corky, and Jojo. They figure out ways to stop him as he still takes over Seagypt. She then tells them that the septor of power has made him evil, and they had to stop him before he becomes too powerful. Unfortunately, his evil energy only grows stronger, but thankfully, Corky heads to the rescue by referring to the book. Everyone stops him, and soon enough, Alexandria takes the thrown again. Casey and Jojo then realize that Corky's real vacation is doing his job - helping other snorks.
