The Stephens are invited to the Tate home to meet a client, Mr. MacElroy, who manufactures shoes. Darrin agrees to let Aunt Clare babysit when Samantha tells him Aunt Clara is sad because she has lost her boy friend, Ocky, to a younger witch. Trying to get Tabitha to sleep, Aunt Clara decides to bring the piano upstairs. She reduces it to toy size, but it grows as she carries it, and she gets stuck on the stairs. Aunt Clara tries another spell and all the lights go out. Upset when Abner Kravitz reports the whole Eastern Seaboard is blacked out, Aunt Clara summons Ocky for help.

Darrin's parents, Frank and Phyllis Stephens, come to see Tabitha. Learning Endora will also be there, Darrin makes her swear there is nothing funny about the toy bear she has brought for the baby. Endora and Mrs. Stephens take an immediate dis-like to each other. Mrs. Stephens has brought a toy identical to Endora's. Endora uses witchcraft to make her bear dance. Tabitha falls in love with the dancing bear and refuses the other.

Samantha paints a picture for a charity exhibit. Unimpressed, Endora replaces it with a Henry Monchet, currently on view at Jacques? Gallery in New York. At the office, Darrin completes a perfume ad layout for Mr. Cunningham, who considers himself an art connoisseur. At the amateur exhibit, Samantha, Darrin and Cunningham find that the entry with Samantha's signature has won first prize and will be auctioned off for charity. Darrin and Samantha feel sick, knowing it isn't her work and Samantha recog-nizes the signature as Endora's handwriting. To prevent Cunning-ham from buying the picture, Darrin bids against him in the auction.

As Darrin rushes Samantha to an unexpected dinner party, they argue when she uses witchcraft to get dressed. Darrin also has words with Endora, who is minding Tabitha, about witchcraft. In the car after informing Samantha that everyone copes without witchcraft and forbidding her to use it, Darrin finds he has a flat tire. Samantha won't help and he has to change it in the rain. Darrin arrives dripping at the home of Dwight Sharpe, a, new client. He is forced to change into Sharpe's clothes, much too small. Sharps and Darrin exchange sarcasm about each other's height and the evening is a fiasco. Samantha and Darrin resume -arguing on the way home. It ends with Samantha vanishing with Tabitha. At the office next morning, Darrin is upset. Sharpe arrives, apologizes, and extends another dinner invitation to the Tates and the Stephens. Darrin tries to sidestep, but Larry won't let him, feeling a $500,000 account is at stake. As Endora sits on a cloud rocking Tabitha, Samantha misses Darrin. He wanders about the house calling her and they make up. He promises dinner for two that night. Samantha wills Larry to phone and she agrees to dinner at the Sharpes to set matters right. Then she and Darrin each try to take the blame again. On the way, Darrin, having checked the tires, finds he's out of gas. Samantha twitches up a gas station.

Gladys Kravitz, in curlers and pajamas, decides to leave her husband in the middle of the night. When Samantha invites her in, Gladys is fearful but makes herself at home. Darrin is anxious to get rid of Gladys, a health faddist. Samantha feels the Kravitzes will get back together, but Abner shows no signs of it. After one of Gladys dinners, Darrin sends Samantha to work on Abner. She finds him in the middle of a mess, happily playing poker. Darrin announces that if Gladys doesn't leave, he will. In desperation, he allows Samantha to use witchcraft. To make Abner jealous, Samantha casts a spell over Mr. Hogersdorf, the butcher. Bewildered, he interrupts Gladys' calisthenics to declare his affection. Samantha summons Abner, who wishes Hogersdorf luck but reminds Gladys of his years of sacrifice. She reveals her queer regimen and diet was only to make herself attractive to him. Understanding, Abner embraces Gladys and sends the butcher away. Back in his shop, with the shoal removed, Hogersdorf doesn't know what happened. The Kravitzes go home and Samantha asserts love is stronger than witchcraft. Later, bearing a present of wheat germ oil, Gladys spots a gorilla Tabitha conjured up. When she dreams for Abner, the Stephens know everything is back to normal.
