Darrin has prepared
two ad campaigns for Col. Bringham's spareribs and cannot
decide which one to present to the prospective client. Hearing
this, Endora decides to show Samantha how indecisive Darrin is
by casting a spell on him. Under the spell, Darrin can make no
definite decisions, no matter how small the situation. When
Gladys Kravitz stops him to talk about replacing all the neighborhood trash cans, Darrin totally confuses her. She then rings
the doorbell to talk to Samantha and in the course of conversation mentions how strange Darrin was. Samantha senses a spell
and pops in on Darrin at the office. She verifies her suspicions,
returns home and calls for Endora. As she is confronting Endora,
Darrin arrives home early from the office. Endora begrudgingly
removes the spell, but Darrin is not about to take the trouble she
has caused lying down. There ensues a verbal to-do between
Darrin and Endora. Endora says that Darrin is pigheaded and to
prove her point pops a pig's head onto Darrin. But, she doesn't
stop there - to let the whole world see just how pigheaded Darrin
is, she pops him onto the roof! Before Samantha can get Darrin
off the roof, Larry and Col. Bringham arrive. They are speechless at the sight of Darrin, with the pig's head, standing on the
roof. Samantha quickly ties Darrin's predicament into an ad
campaign, explaining that he is simply visualizing the revolving
sign to be used over the colonel's restaurants. Inside the house,
when Darrin does not remove the pig's head, Samantha explains
that Darrin is testing the "mask" to be worn by the principal
player in the TV commercials he wrote for the colonel's spareribs. After a demonstration, involving a chorus or two of Old
MacDonald's Farm, Samantha and Darrin excuse themselves to
the kitchen to remove the "mask".
