Esmeralda has been jilted and arrives at the Stephens' home in a very depressed
state. Samantha is worried about her and calls Dr. Bombay. His
diagnosis is she needs another man to bolster her ego and
produces a cure in the form of Norton. At first Norton thinks that
Samantha is the girl Dr. Bombay has for him, but his excitement
is short-lived when he discovers it is Esmeralda he is destined
for. To help things along, Dr. Bombay makes a love potion
which when taken causes one to be smitten by the first person
one sees. Samantha is expecting Darrin, Larry, Mr. Meiklejohn
(a very important client) and his wife at any moment for dinner.
In her hurry to get Dr. Bombay, Esmeralda and Norton settled,
she knocks some of the potion into the clam dip. Dr. Bombay
puts the potion in Norton's drink, Esmeralda fades out and
Norton sees Samantha first. Things get worse when Darrin
arrives with the guests. Esmeralda tests the dip and sees Darrin
first - Mr. Meiklejohn sees his wife first after tasting the dip.
However, Mrs. Meiklejohn sees Larry first. Now everyone is
quite smitten - but with the wrong people. Dr. Bombay is
recalled and puts a reverse spell on the dip. Samantha pushes the
dip on all the guests except Mr. Meiklejohn, who, Samantha
feels, hasn't been too smitten by his wife lately. All return to
normal. Darrin, worried because Mr. Meiklejohn is left under
the influence of witchcraft, is assured by Samantha that the spell
only lasts for twenty four hours.
