Louise Tate gives
Samantha a book entitled Marital Unrest complete with her rave
reviews and makes Samantha promise to read at least the first
chapter. Samantha is upset that Louise should be bored with her
marriage and spends a restless night trying to sleep and not
worry about her friend. Just as morning approaches, Samantha
pops into Louise's bed and Louise pops into Samantha's bed!
Naturally, Samantha is surprised when she awakens next to
Larry. By freezing Larry, Samantha pops back to her own house
and upon seeing Louise realizes what has happened. The strangest aspect of this change is that only Samantha is aware of what
has happened - Darrin thinks Louise is Samantha and Larry metaphysical molecular disturbance, caused by a cosmic short
circuit in Samantha's metaphysical molecules due to her worrying about Louise. The potion needed calls for the marrow from
the tooth of a saber-toothed tiger. Samantha must play the
situation along until Dr. Bombay secures the ingredient! She
goes to Darrin's office and after finally convincing him that she
is not Louise, but Samantha, she tells Darrin what has happened.
They decide to have the Tates' (Larry and Samantha) over for
dinner (at Darrin and Louise's) and stay up playing cards and
talking until Dr. Bombay arrives with the cure. The evening
drags on and on with every sort of attempt by Darrin and Louise
(i.e. Samantha) to keep the party going. Finally, Dr. Bombay
returns, pops Samantha's molecules back to where they should
be and Samantha is herself again - as is Louise.
