Guest cast: Charles Lane as Harmon. 
Even
though Darrin's spirits are up, his sales are down and Larry
urges Samantha's mate to take a week off to stir up the creative
juices. Darrin comes back to work and readies himself to face
one of the agency's meanest (and richest) customers. Mr.
Harmon clearly makes it known that he has thus far been
dissatisfied with Larry's choice of ad campaigns. Looking to
Darrin for something extra special, he is so pleased when he
comes up with a concise, well directed sales pitch that he's
certain Mr. Harmon will applaud. Instead of clapping, Mr.
Harmon turns thumbs down on the entire ad campaign. Darrin
can't understand what went wrong. He can think of no mortal
reason why it happened and he concludes it must be witchcraft.
Certain that his meddlesome mother-in-law put a zap on his
creative sap, Darrin asks Samantha to counter-zap her mother
with a favorable twitch. Sam concocts what she says is a magic
potion that will give her harried husband the confidence he
needs to sell himself and his ideas to Mr. Harmon. Suggesting
that he take the very same ad campaign which was rejected back
to Harmon, Darrin drinks the juice and is instantly a man of
confidence. To Larry's great shock, Darrin sells Mr. Harmon the
very same ad campaign he rejected yesterday. To Darrin's great
shock, Samantha informs him that his confidence was his own
and that the potion that he drank had no more zap than soda pop.
