Like Voodoo

S1 E18: Gidget's surfboard is stolen. Gidget and Larue discover it in front of the trailer of Zangara, a female fortuneteller. When Gidget retrieves the board, Zangara puts a hex on her. Then a series of mishaps plague Gidget. Scoffing at her, Russ gives her some anthropology books to read to see how foolish superstition can be. Later, Russ finds Gidget performing a rite described in the book to exorcise the evil spirit. Annoyed, Russ agrees that maybe Gidget's brother-in-law, John Cooper, should psychoanalyze her. Gidget goes to the Cooper home. Chaos erupts there. A three-year's collection of trading stamps falls into the washing machine and an important paper John has been working on for weeks drops into the flood. This sets off an argument between John and Anne and Gidget leaves. Russ gives Gidget a small figurine, which he claims will dispel curses. Protected by the figurine, Gidget successfully rides her surfboard and feels she has beaten the hex. Then Russ tells her the figurine is a tiepin. Although feeling cured, Gidget decides to take no chances. Avoiding a ladder, Gidget walks near the curb. A passing car splashes her with mud.
