Darrin's
parents pay their first visit to the Stephens' home. Darrin's
mother, Phyllis, hopes to find that his wife is a poor house-keeper. Soon after, Samantha's Aunt Clara comes down the
chimney for an unexpected visit. Darrin is worried about the
kind of impression Aunt Clara will make on his parents, but
agrees with Samantha that they must make Aunt Clara feel
welcome. Determined to help Samantha make a hit with her in-laws, Aunt Clara uses her witchcraft to whip up a feast for
dinner. Thinking that Samantha has done the cooking, Phyllis
becomes quite upset. Although Samantha warns him to be
tactful, Darrin makes Aunt Clara feel she is not wanted. After
Aunt Clara's departure, Samantha gets into an argument with
Darrin, during which Phyllis learns Aunt Clara cooked the
dinner. When Samantha admits she is not a good housekeeper,
Phyllis, who felt she was being pushed aside, knows she is going
to love her daughter-in-law. Darrin persuades Aunt Clara to
return and the evening ends happily for all.
