Samantha has a baby girl. Trouble begins for Nurse Kelton when
Endora names the baby Tabitha against the parents' wishes.
When Darrin doubts that the baby will grow up to look like
Samantha, Endora proposes to turn the baby into a grown-up so
he can see. Darrin forbids her to do so. Meanwhile, Samantha's
cousin Serena, who resembles Samantha, visits the hospital
Shortly after, Endora carries the baby from the nursery. Darrin
sees Serena and feels she resembles someone he knows. Finding
the baby missing, Darrin is sure Endora's magic has been a
work and Serena is his daughter, grown up. From then on, Darrin
tries to return Serena to the nursery and to get Endora to undo the
harm he feels she has done. Both witches are annoyed by
Darrin's behavior. Soon they have Darrin switching from infancy to maturity, finally winding up in a straightjacket. (Final version has Darrin in an Indian costume instead of as an infant) By this
time, Nurse Kelton doubts her own sanity. When the baby is
returned to Samantha, Darrin convinces Nurse Kelton that his
penchant for practical joking is responsible for the strange
happenings. Feeling guilty at having accused Endora falsely, Darrin tells her baby is to be named Tabitha.
