Darrin's
mother calls and makes plans to go shopping with Samantha.
Samantha is in the middle of cleaning her kitchen and since Mrs.
Stephens is to arrive momentarily, she pops everything back
into place. She realizes Darrin is watching and as she is not
supposed to use witchcraft, she feels guilty. She tries to explain,
but Darrin says it's okay and that he has a present for her This
makes her feel twice as guilty! As she is thanking Darrin for the
present, she hiccups and a bicycle appears. In a matter of five
minutes, and a few more hiccups, the hall is cluttered with a
unicycle, a tricycle, a motorcycle and even a tandem. When Mrs.
Stephens arrives they explain the bikes as part of an exercise
kick. Darrin hustles his mother upstairs to see the children and
Samantha hurriedly calls Dr. Bombay. He tells her that the guilt
She felt earlier for using her powers has been the cause of her
hiccuping up the collections of wheels. He incants a spell to eliminate her guilt, the bikes disappear and Samantha goes
shopping with Darrin's mother. Darrin notices when they've
gone that the mirror in the hall has disappeared. He senses
something wrong and asks Serena, who is babysitting, to call Dr.
Bombay again. Meanwhile, Samantha and Mrs. Stephens are
shopping. Every time Samantha hiccups, something in the store
disappears - unbeknownst to Samantha! Finally the store detective becomes suspicious and accuses them of shoplifting. Dr.
Bombay arrives, Darrin tells him what happened and in recalling the incantation he used to dispel Samantha's original problem, he realizes when he said all guilt should disappear - the guilt
was taken literally as G-I-L-T - each time Samantha is hiccuping, something made of gilt is disappearing! Dr. Bombay
locates Samantha and Mrs. Stephens and saves them from the
shoplifting charge by popping back all the missing
merchandise.
