Esmeralda, while reading a Mother Goose story to Tabitha, sneezes
and causes the figure to appear in person. Samantha is upset
because Mrs. Stephens is due any minute for a visit. Mrs.
Stephens arrives and announces that she has had a fight with Mr.
Stephens and is leaving him. Shortly after, Mr. Stephens arrives.
Meanwhile, Mother Goose has been floating around under the
guise of being Samantha's strange aunt. Darrin comes home to
the problem and he and Samantha share their panic. Frank
Stephens tries to humor Mother Goose and engages her in lively
conversation about her poems while Samantha and Darrin go
upstairs to Mrs. Stephens, resting in the guest room with a phony
headache to try and talk some sense into her. Samantha decides
the jealous wife idea would work and lets Mrs. Stephens see her
husband and Mother Goose together. It works, and Mrs.
Stephens rushes downstairs; but not before Esmeralda sneezes
again and changes Mother Goose into a goose who does a slow
fade-out before Mrs. Stephens'- eyes. The elder Stephens unite
again and leave on a second honeymoon.
