Endora tells Samantha that her aunts are coming
to the Stephens' home to test Tabitha's powers of witchcraft.
First Aunt Clara comes down the chimney. Then Aunt Hagatha
and Aunt Enchantra appear. When Samantha wishes her father
were present, Maurice sweeps in. Endora and Maurice quarrel
and Maurice leaves for a performance of Faust, in Vienna.
During the test, Tabitha thrills her great-aunts with the display
of her powers. Hearing strange voices when he phones, Darrin
tells Samantha he is coming home. At that moment, the phone
cord loops itself around Darrin and Larry. When they succeed
in freeing themselves and get into the car, it immediately
develops four flats. Darrin finally arrivesjust as Endora declares
that it has been decided to educate Tabitha in Hagatha's school
for witches. Outraged when Darrin firmly takes a stand that
Tabitha's education should be decided only by her parents,
Endora, Hagatha and Enchantra pronounce a magic spell.
Samantha, Darrin and Aunt Clara, who has sided with them,find
themselves rooted to the floor. When Endora prepares to leave
with Tabitha, Samantha blows a whistle Maurice gave her.
Maurice appears, makes a magic gesture and the three witches
find themselves shivering on a mountain top. They are brought
back by Maurice on condition they promise not to meddle with
his grandchild. Later, Maurice offers Darrin and Samantha, an
evening on the town any place in the world while he babysits
with Tabitha.
