Although Samantha is calm, collected and waiting with suitcase In
hand to go to the hospital to give birth, it is Darrin who is having
complications - the nervous type. Darrin's dilemma is further
complicated by Samantha's eerie father, Maurice, who is ready
to play grandpa even before his daughter delivers. Another
nervous father-to-be, Ralph Davis, is somewhat embittered
when, after his six hour vigil, Darrin's baby arrives first. It's a
boy and Grandpa Maurice wants to make sure everybody likes
him. So he casts a spell on all who gaze at the new baby. Even
after Davis' child is born, he is mesmerized by the Stephens'
child. Larry Tate, also under the influence, insists that the child
is photographically perfect for the new label on Busby's Baby
Foods. Despite Samantha and Darrin's negative reception of the
idea, Larry proceeds to bring in a camera crew for the "test"
screening. When Endora arrives to see her new grandchild, she
reminds her daughter that the baby's publicity might not fare
well with the Witches Council - still brewing over Samantha's
marriage to a mortal. Samantha blackmails her father, in a nice
way, to uncast his spell to keep peace with the witches up above
and her husband here on Earth.
