Airdate: Jan. 20, 1966

Gladys and Abner Kravitz give Tabitha a share of stock bought through Gladys' cousin, a broker. The stock rises rapidly. Darrin, unsure whether Tabitha inherits Samantha's witchcraft, feels the baby may be responsible. He puts the stock page in front of her and calling Gladys' cousin, buys a share of stock on which the baby's finger rested. When that stock rises, the broker tells Gladys to try to get some tips from Darrin. Gladys and Abner go to the Stephens' home. Gladys asks Samantha about the stock rise. Jokingly, Samantha tells her that maybe Tabitha gave Darrin a tip. Gladys puts the financial page in front of Tabitha, who pokes a finger at a stock. Later, Abner tells Darrin he sold his holdings and invested them in the stock which then dropped twenty points. After telling Samantha that Tabitha was responsible for the Kravitzes losing their life savings, Darrin learns that the stock has returned to its original position and that there were logical reasons for the way the stock behaved. He admits it had nothing to do with Tabitha. However, Darrin can't resist having the baby pick a horse for him. Still skeptical, Darrin tells Samantha the horse lost because Tabitha didn't bet on it herself.

Guest cast: Jack Fletcher as Julius, William Kendis as the stock broker.
