When
Samantha discovers she's losing the zip in her zap, Serena tells
her she'll have to go for a ten thousand twitch overhaul. This
"witch's lube job" requires Sam to leave the mortal world for
twelve hours, being incommunicado with her mortal mate for
the whole time. Larry, meanwhile, comes up with a potentially
lucrative account, Berkley Hair Tonic. He's depending upon his
ace ad man, Darrin, to pull another creative coup. Larry wants
Darrin to invite Mr. and Mrs. Berkley to his house to establish
a rapport before presenting his ad campaign. Berkley, a born
skeptic, isn't about to give up his "bread" by being buttered up
by the Stephens' hospitality. Serena, taking advantage of
Samantha's absence, pops herself in and, much to Darrin's
chagrin, declares herself to be a substitute spouse. Because
company's coming, Darrin is forced to play husband. He begs
Serena to blink up a meal and to try to be extra nice for his sake.
When the Berkley's arrive, Serena is overly nice to Mr. Berkley
- to the obvious disapproval of Mrs. Berkley. Serena creates a
chaotic situation that is resolved only when Samantha blinks
herself in just in time. She justifies her previous behavior
(Serena's) by explaining that she is in sensitivity training.
Angered because her cousin has straightened things out, Serena
seeks revenge by animating one of Tabitha's stuffed trolls
hoping to embarrass the Stephens'. Darrin, quickly catching the
caper, says that the troll is all part of his new ad campaign. The
"hair" raising comment saves the day for Darrin.
