Ashley
Flynn, a warlock who is in his mid-thirties, handsome and
egotistical, drops in on Samantha one day to rescue her from this
"grubby mortal existence". When Sam kicks him out of the
house, Ashley decides to check out Darrin to see what kind of
man could hold Sam. Ashley quietly drops into Darrin's office
and overhears Larry and Darrin trying to get a new client, Stuart Gibbons, owner and head of Gibbons Dog Food. They tell
Gibbons that Darrin has a dog and with both of them describing
it, the dog turns out to be part sheepdog, part beagle with short
hair in front, long hair in back and with a white spot around one
eye, a black spot around the other and a goatee. Gibbons is
intrigued and insists upon seeing this unusual animal. Larry and
Darrin, in a state of panic, go to the pound to find a dog with that
description. Meanwhile, Ashley has followed them and changes
himself into the dog, and Darrin takes him home. Samantha
gives the dog some baby food but catches it changing the food
into a T-bone steak - and she guesses the dog is really Ashley.
When Ashley changes back into himself and refuses to cooperate for the sake of Darrin's client, Sam changes him back into the
dog. Gibbons and Larry arrive and Ashley, trying to get his
revenge, locks himself in the closet, then howls and growls
Gibbons is just about to leave in anger when Sam and Darrin
bring out Gibbons Dog burger and change it into a T-bone steak.
Darrin tells Gibbons that it is his new idea for a commercial - to
make the dog burger in the shape of a steak with Gibbon's
Chewy Bone in the middle. They also tell Gibbons that Ashley
was trained to act mean til he was fed - and Gibbons is 100
percent sold on Darrin and his agency.
