In reality, the Baron wants to capture the monster for the $3 million insurance on its head. This news causes a problem for Samantha as she knows the monster is in reality a warlock named Bruce, an old, and very persistent wannabe beau of Serena's, she who turned him into the monster forty years ago to get him to stop bothering her, she choosing a monster as that's how she felt he was behaving. To save Bruce from the Baron, Samantha has to convince Serena to change Bruce back into a warlock.

Esmeralda's distress slowly disappears to the best she's felt about herself in a long time when she meets Count Bracini, who sweeps her off her feet.

The Ghost Who Made a Spectre of Himself
Wed, Oct 27, 197126 mins
Samantha and Darrin's European work vacation is coming to an end, it heavier on the work aspect than they would have liked compliments of Larry foisting more and more work on Darrin. They know that Larry's extension of an invitation by the Duke of Winsett to stay at his old English castle for the weekend is only a ploy for Darrin to attend a meeting with Larry on Monday in London, but it a ploy they figure easier to give into than fight. Upon the foursome's arrival at the castle - the fourth being Louise, who has just flown in - they learn from the Duke that the castle is haunted, probably by one of the Duke's ancestors. Although the four are treated to the moaning and other noises of the ghost and are rather nonplussed by those noises, Samantha, as a witch, is the only one who is able to see the specter of the ghost, Harry, the eighth Duke of Winsett, who was a randy ladies man killed by a jealous husband. Harry's randiness still exists in ghost form, he who hits on Samantha, who he will not allow to say no to his advances. In Samantha saying no to him, the ghost of Harry decides to invade Darrin's body, which he will not leave in his expectation of Samantha doing with Darrin what a wife would normally do with a husband. Samantha can't use her witchcraft to make Harry leave Darrin's body, but she won't have anything to do with Darrin while Harry has taken over his body and thus his being. Further complications ensue when Larry and Louise get involved as they try to save what looks to them to be their friends' crumbling marriage, and as Harry, as Darrin, sees in Louise a good second choice if Samantha won't have him.

Although Darrin and Samantha try to hide the girl's true identity, Silverton learns that it's their daughter and decides that he wants her to be a permanent fixture on Punch and Judy.

Endora learns directly from Samantha, who in turn is afraid to tell Maurice who will be even less than sympathetic toward the cause, that she has lost her powers. As Dr. Bombay can't find anything medically wrong with her, he assumes that her loss of powers is due to her constant contact with mortals, meaning she's lost her powers because of her marriage to Darrin. Unfortunately for Samantha, Maurice makes a surprise visit, he who does find out what's going on. Just as soon as he does and is ready to annihilate Darrin for what he's done to his daughter, Dr. Bombay returns to inform the collective that he misdiagnosed the situation, and that Samantha truly has a contagious bug that can be passed from witch/warlock to witch/warlock through things like kissing, Maurice who did kiss his daughter upon his arrival and thus is now afflicted with the same bug. As Dr. Bombay works on a cure, Maurice has to learn how to live like a mortal, which seems to affects Endora's psyche more than his own, as he wants to use the opportunity to see how the other half lives, namely learn more about how Darrin makes a living.

Feeling sorry for the storybook pair, Tabitha zaps them out of the book to feed them with whatever food she can get from what her mother is preparing. Further, Tabitha zaps herself into the book at that point to ask Hansel and Gretel's father, the woodcutter, if they can stay overnight to have breakfast. Samantha and Darrin eventually learn what has happened stemming from much of their food for the Tates going missing. Samantha has to go into the book herself to find Tabitha, who may be in trouble as she is just at the point in the story where she may run into the wicked witch, with storybook witches' powers apparently stronger than real children witches' powers. Samantha's quest leaves Darrin at home to prepare dinner, entertain the Tates when they arrive, hide Hansel and Gretel from Larry and Louise, and make sure Hansel and Gretel don't leave the house. That last task may be the most difficult as Darrin is unaware that Hansel and Gretel have a singular mission to get unlimited amounts of food from wherever they can find it to satisfy their hunger.

Incensed again that Samantha's mortal marriage is preventing her from doing something she would have otherwise done, Endora decides to call in the assistance of a warlock friend, Alonzo, to get rid of what Endora sees as the specific issue in this circumstance: Darrin's work. So Endora asks Alonzo to "undo" Darrin from work. Hippie Alonzo decides to use a tactic that entails putting a spell on Larry to love all his "far out" campaign ideas, which will be contrary to Darrin's, for their current client, Mr. Cushman of Monticello Carpets. Darrin quickly figures out that Alonzo is a warlock and calls in Samantha to call her mother to get rid of Alonzo and remove the spell on Larry before Cushman's arrival.

Samantha fully understands that Darrin often has to deal with beautiful models, this time in order to find this year's Catwoman as the mascot for the Tom Cat Tractor campaign. Endora counters that Darrin has the seven year itch, the fact that Samantha and he have been married eight years which only shows her how dense he is. So Endora enlists the help of her old friend, Ophelia the cat, who she transforms into a human form of her feline self, not only to get the job of the Catwoman, but to tempt Darrin in the process. Ophelia, as a human, is easily able to achieve the former, and thinks that she can achieve the latter by getting Darrin to go on a business trip to Albany for Tom Cat with her where the Catwoman is supposed to appear. Darrin obliges the work request, despite he in the process planning to arrive home late for what is supposed to be his and Samantha's romantic anniversary dinner celebrating the date of their first date.

Adam has not shown any signs of having powers of witchcraft, he at an age when Tabitha had already demonstrated hers.

Adam not demonstrating any powers concerns Maurice even more, as he wants his grandson to be a chip off the old maternal grandfather block. So Maurice transfers some of his extra special powers to Adam in preparation for the Test Committee visit. Adam demonstrating those powers in front of the Committee has unintended consequences.

Samantha's Magic Sitter
Wed, Jan 5, 197226 mins
Esmeralda makes an unexpected visit to Samantha and Darrin's house - unexpected even to her as her arrival is because of her faulty witchcraft - feeling more worthless than usual. That feeling is heightened as she learns that Samantha and Darrin, who are getting ready for an evening out at a business dinner with Larry, client Elliott Norton and his wife, Martha Norton, have asked Aunt Hagatha to babysit rather than her, babysitting Tabitha and Adam which is the one thing she feels she does well, especially as the children love her. Samantha tries to boost Esmeralda's confidence by telling her she is indeed a good babysitter. The business dinner is threatened to be canceled when Larry tells Samantha and Darrin that the Nortons' babysitter canceled at the last minute. As such, Esmeralda volunteers to sit with the Nortons' adolescent son, Ralph Norton. Samantha and Darrin have no way of telling Larry why they wouldn't want Esmeralda to babysit Ralph because of her indiscriminate use of faulty witchcraft, especially as the dinner is just the next step in keeping Norton's business. An incident involving Esmeralda's faulty witchcraft while sitting with Ralph may threaten the account, especially as overbearing Mrs. Norton believes Ralph is an angel, which is the farthest thing from the truth. With the account on the line, Samantha believes if Esmeralda's faulty witchcraft got Darrin into this trouble, Esmeralda's faulty witchcraft may be the answer to appease Mr. and Mrs. Norton.

Samantha Is Earthbound
Sat, Jan 15, 197226 mins
Samantha is feeling lethargic. She can barely move her legs or raise her arms.

Dr. Bombay's first prescription has the exact opposite effect on her of not being able to stay on the ground. Dr. Bombay has to go off and brew an antidote for the antidote. In the meantime, Samantha is unable to renege on her previous important commitment for the day, namely to assist Selma Prescott, the wife of one of Darrin's clients Wilbur Prescott, with a charity bazaar and fashion show. Rather than play golf with Mr. Prescott which was his original plan, Darrin instead goes with Samantha to be her anchor, when she can't find anything else to weigh her down.

Tabitha has been invited to her first ever ice skating party. The problem: she doesn't know how to skate. Samantha, who is an expert ice skater but who has not done it in years, learned and only knows how to do it well through witchcraft, a method by which Darrin refuses to let Tabitha learn. As a challenge, Darrin wants Samantha to learn how to skate the mortal way by taking ice skating lessons alongside their daughter. During her first lesson, Samantha, who is having problems skating the mortal way, can't help but inject a little witchcraft into her skating, only momentarily, if only to prove a point to the instructor. However, Endora cannot bear to watch her granddaughter struggle and fall in skating, and so turns Tabitha into a virtuosa ice skater. She skates so well that the instructor informs former competitive figure skater and now coach Billy Blades Bucholtzer, who, in what he hears, believes Tabitha is the next Olympic gold medalist. As such, Blades wants Tabitha to audition for him. Beyond Darrin's anger in the use of witchcraft, Samantha and Darrin have to convince Endora to take the spell off of Tabitha before her audition for Blades, convincing her which will be no easy task.
Episode 19
Serena's Youth Pill
Sat, Feb 5, 197226 mins
While Serena is sitting with Tabitha and Adam, Larry unexpectedly stops by the house. Bored, Serena decides to have a little fun with Larry, flirting with him, as usual highlighting her attraction being that he is older. But to make him feel more alive, she dares him to take a pill that she has - Vitamin V for "Va-Va-Voom" she tells him - which he does before his hasty departure lest he and Serena really do something. Upon their return home, what Samantha and Darrin decipher from seeing Larry and then speaking to Serena about it is that the pill she gave him was a youth pill, which will not only make the user feel and look younger, but actually turn younger. Part of the problem is Larry's want to market the pill to make millions. What Darrin further learns in his subsequent dealings with Larry - part of which Darrin sees as a momentary opportunity - is that the effect on Larry, as a mortal, is that in his backward aging, he only remembers that part of his life which had occurred at any given age the first time around. This backward aging has its obvious problems, most specifically in what to tell Louise about her husband getting younger and younger, she who is already concerned in the early stages by Larry's more youthful behavior. Getting Serena to do something about the situation may be difficult enough in her animosity toward Darrin, but it is not as simple as getting her to remove a spell as it was a manufactured pill that had this effect, a pill that has never been administered to a mortal.

As such, Samantha has a talk with their daughter about absolutely no witchcraft at school, no exceptions. Tabitha may have difficulties in keeping to her promise with fellow student Charlton Rollnick continually bullying her, which constantly gets her in trouble with the teacher, Mrs. Peabody. What Tabitha decides to do about Charlton not only has consequences for Charlton and Tabitha, but for Samantha in dealing with Mrs. Peabody, who believes all clingy parents like Samantha are alike thinking their child is special, and Mrs. Rollnick, a loud woman who knows about Charlton's general misbehavior and who deals with it not with love and understanding but brow beating.

For show and tell at school in honor of Washington's birthday, Samantha won't let Tabitha take the actual artifacts because of their value, but will allow her to take the picture book and explain that her father does have such items in a collection. Knowing that Tabitha is disappointed in not being able to take the artifacts to school, Esmeralda figures she can just zap the buckle and button from the picture book for Tabitha to take to school, and zap them back into the book afterward, no harm and no foul if they are lost. Esmeralda doesn't zap the buckle and button from the book, but rather George Washington himself. Because of her faulty witchcraft, she can't remember the spell to get him back into the book. While Esmeralda tries to remember the spell, Samantha and Darrin have to make sure no one sees him. Their task may be more difficult than Esmeralda's as after President Washington gets over the shock of being transported into the twentieth century via witchcraft, he wants to see how the world has changed in two hundred years.

What happens is that Esmeralda instead brings Martha Washington into the twentieth century along with her husband. However, President Washington wants to stay until the trial which is solely in front of a judge to stand up for what he considers his constitutional rights. Further complications ensue when Larry unexpectedly stops by the house, sees the Washingtons, and has the idea to use "George" as President Washington as a spokesperson for the firm's latest campaign for Mr. Jamieson of Whirlwind Washing Machines.

In doing so, Tabitha impresses her teacher, Mrs. Peabody, who believes Tabitha is not only smart enough to skip that grade, but is a genius about who the whole world should know. Samantha, on the other hand, knows that it is her mother's handy work that gave Tabitha all this knowledge.

In viewing the three concepts he's come up with, Samantha makes some minor tweaks to them to develop what Darrin considers just the right concepts.

It's initially a severe dizzy spell, but when Darrin gets Samantha home, a more visible symptom appears: red stripes on her face. She also totally loses her witchcraft. Aunt Hagatha, who is babysitting, calls in Dr. Bombay, who prescribes an antidote that must be administered within 8 hours or else the symptoms will take one year to wear off. On top of the race against time, the prescription must be filled by the apothecary--the dirty old warlock with whom Aunt Hagatha refuses to deal; the antidote contains one impossible-to-obtain unique ingredient: a Himalayan cinnamon stick, the only known local source being Mr. Fong's now-closed restaurant.
