Embarrassed when he forgets a client's name, Darrin buys a
book to improve his memory. Endora slyly casts a spell on his
watch so that when he wear it, Darrin has a perfect memory. Ed
Pennybaker, a client, prides himself on his vast knowledge but
Darrin tops him every time. When Darrin takes off his watch, he forgets things, but doesn't get the connection. Samantha invites
the Pennybakers and the Tates to dinner. Ed displays his expertise on every subject, but Darrin easily outshines him. Samantha
realizes that Darrin may antagonize an important client. She
tries to stop him but fails. Then Samantha remembers that
Endora felt Darrin would be insufferable if he had total recall.
She orders her mother to remove the spell from Darrin. Endora
hedges, saying there is no spell on Darrin, then admits its on an
object belonging to him. Ed mentions football and Darrin is off
on a recital of little-known facts about the game. Suddenly his
watchband breaks. The watch falls off and Darrin forgets what
he was talking about. When Cynthia Pennybaker picks up the
watch and becomes the unbearable expert, Samantha realizes
the watch is the talisman. She takes the watch and Cynthia
returns to normal. The next day, Darrin complains that he can't
remember what happened to his watch. Samantha replies it is
being fixed; all Darrin has to remember is how much she loves
him.
