Darrin
is furious when Samantha gives his orange and green checked
sportjacket, bought before he was married, to Goodwill. Larry
and Louise have been seeing Dr. Kramer, a psychiatrist who
specializes in teaching married couples how to fight. Larry tells
Darrin that the jacket, a symbol of Darrin's carefree bachelor
days, represents a threat to Samantha. Meanwhile, Louise
lectures Samantha, emphasizing the importance of clothing and
the gifts married couples exchange. Hoping to mend matters,
Samantha uses magic and retrieves Darrin's jacket. Darrin,
acting on Larry's opinion that sensible clothes imply happiness
and security, buys Samantha a drab bathrobe. Darrin and Samantha each feel the gifts indicate a dissatisfaction with their
marriage and the rift widens. Larry suggests they see Dr.
Kramer. Although Endora is stunned when Samantha reveals
she plans to consult a psychiatrist, she insists on the best and
summons Dr. Freud himself. Dr. Freud has settled Samantha's
problems to his own satisfaction when Dr. Kramer arrives. They
start arguing who will handle the case and square off when
Kramer accuses Freud of father fixation. As Samantha and
Darrin try to separate them, Endora uses magic to send Freud
back to the unconscious. Twitching her nose, Samantha produces a lush smoking jacket for Darrin and a sexy negligee for
herself to celebrate their reconciliation.
