J. Earl
Rockeford, chairman of the board of the exclusive Burning Oak
Country Club, offers to propose Darrin for membership. Larry
becomes apoplectic at the thought of losing an important client
when Darrin refuses. The Stephens reconsider and decide to
give the club a chance. When Samantha argues that the club will
not turn Darrin into a snob, Endora becomes annoyed and casts
a spell on him. The screening committee for wives, headed by
Hortense Rockeford, impresses Samantha that the club must be
preserved for purebred Americans. They turn chilly when they
learn Samantha does her own housework. Samantha becomes
aware of changes in Darrin and realizes her mother is responsible. She asks Aunt Hagatha to check on the club members.
Endora returns and finally removes Darrin's spell. Sure they'll
be turned down, the Stephens demand that the club invite "common people" to join. Samantha reveals the humble ancestry of
some of the members and that others were on the shady side of
the law. She declares they came to America to escape the
prejudices the club is trying to preserve. However, the Stephens
learn later that Larry has secured the Rockeford account and the
club has revised its membership rules. Even Endora apologizes
to Darrin in skywriting.
