Gladys Kravitz, a neighbor, is unable to convince her husband, Abner, that strange things seem to be happening at the Stephens' home. Gladys, June Foster, and Shirley Clyde, with their sons, visit the Stephens' home to welcome Samantha to the community. Gladys is frustrated in her attempts to point out to her friends the amazing number of objects which seem to appear and disappear. When the boys pester Endora, Samantha's mother, she uses magic to tie the three of them up. On leaving, Gladys tries to point out to her friends that it would be physically impossible for three boys to tie themselves up. Later Darrin returns home for his first meeting with Endora. Endora and Darrin soon engage in a heated argument about their opposing viewpoints on life. Endora threatens to turn Darrin into as artichoke. Later Samantha expresses her love for Darrin by announcing that if Endora had done so, she would also have turned herself into an artichoke.

The members of the Hospital Fund Auxiliary appoint Samantha Entertainment Chairman for the group's bazaar. Limited to spending fifty dollars, Samantha hires Zeno, a broken down magician who has taken to drink. Because of this, his assistant, Roxie Ames, has left the act. Using her gift of magic, Samantha makes Zeno the hit of the show. As a result, Zeno gets a job on TV. Zeno pleads with Samantha to help him. Assisted by Samantha, Zeno runs through a very successful rehearsal. Just before the show goes on the air, Roxie appears and injects herself into the act. Hogging the show, Roxie kills Zeno's act and his confidence. She admits she returned just to get a regular spot on TV herself. Samantha turns Roxie into a comic prop for Zeno. After Zeno's successful performance, Darrin tells Samantha that his client has booked Zeno for the next thirteen weeks. Darrin attempts some magic on his own. When he succeeds, he is not certain whether his skill or Samantha's magic is responsible.

Darrin feels he isn't making any progress in his career. He tells Samantha that Larry Tate has refused to allow him to handle Waterhouse and Co., an important new account. However, when Tate announces that Darrin will handle the account, Darrin feels Samantha used magic on Larry. Darrin berates Samantha and deter-mines to lose the account. When Mr. Waterhouse, a conservative tycoon arrives, Darrin adopts a breezy, wise-cracking, approach. Darrin is surprised when Waterhouse declares Darrin's fresh touch is just what his product needs.
