Gladys Kravitz, in curlers
and pajamas, decides to leave her husband in the middle of the
night. When Samantha invites her in, Gladys is fearful but
makes herself at home. Darrin is anxious to get rid of Gladys, a
health faddist. Samantha feels the Kravitzes will get back
together but Abner shows no signs of it. After one of Gladys'
dinners, Darrin sends Samantha to work on Abner. She finds
him in the middle of a mess, happily playing poker. Darrin
announces that if Giadys doesn't leave, he will. In desperation,
he allows Samantha to use witchcraft. To make Abner jealous,
Samantha casts a spell over Mr. Hogersdorf, the butcher.
Bewildered, he interrupts Gladys' calisthenics to declare his
affection. Samantha summons Abner, who wishes Hogersdorf
luck but reminds Gladys of his years of sacrifice. She reveals her
queer regimen and diet was only to make herself attractive to
him. Understanding, Abner embraces Gladys and sends the
butcher away. Back in his shop, with the spell removed, Hogersdorf doesn't know what happened. The Kravitzes go home
and Samantha asserts love is stronger than witchcraft. Later,
bearing a present of wheat germ oil, Gladys spots a gorilla
Tabitha conjured up. When she screams for Abner, the Stephens
know everything is back to normal.
