Gerry
O'Toole, a beautiful Irish girl who is a friend of Darrin's aunt,
arrives for a visit and announces she plans to stay with the
Stephens until she gets a job. Samantha is curious when Gerry
announces she dislikes cats. She is startled when Gerry
reweaves a hole in Darrin's sweater perfectly. Endora tells
Samantha Gerry is a wood nymph - a mortal enemy of witches.
Samantha forces Gerry to reveal she has come because Darrin's
ancestor, Darrin the Bold, slew Rufus the Red in the 14th
Century, and that henceforth all his descendants have been
accursed. Samantha tells Endora she must return to the 14th
Century and remove the curse by stopping Darrin the Bold from
slaying Rufus the Red. Endora casts the spell and returns
Samantha to 14th Century Killkamey. Samantha stops the fatal
duel between Darrin and Rufus by convincing each of the
opponents that the other is invincible. Back home, Samantha
finds Gerry pursuing Darrin. Her anger vanishes when he hears
Darrin declaring his love for his wife. Gerry refuses to believe
that Samantha has removed the curse. Endora summons Rufus
the Red, who takes Gerry home with him. Later, Samantha
wonders how Darrin would look with his ancestors red hair and
moustache. She twitches her nose and gets the desired effect.
Deciding Darrin looks ridiculous, she twitches again and a
puzzled Darrin returns to normal.
