Shopping for
antiques, Samantha is intrigued by an old chair which moves
about to catch her attention. She buys the chair and goes home
to prepare dinner for the Tates, Max Cosgrove, an agency client,
and his domineering wife, Adelaide. Larry and Darrin hope to
get Max to renew his contract during dinner but are continually
foiled by Adelaide. The chair seems to take a dislike to Darrin
and tries to kick him, but Adelaide insists on having it. Yielding
to Darrin's pleas, Samantha sells the chair to Adelaide, who
decides Max will sign the contract in the morning. During the
night, the chair returns to the Stephens' home. Blaming Max for
its disappearance, Adelaide again holds up the contract. When
Max sees the chair he accepts Darrin's explanation that it is a
copy but insists on having it for Adelaide. The chair immediately begins making life difficult for the Cosgroves. Every time
Adelaide sits down, it throws her on the floor. When Max leans
on it, the chair collapses. Angry with Max, Adelaide decides to
go back to her mother. Then Endora reveals that the chair is
Clyde Farnsworth, a warlock who transformed himself when
Samantha rejected him. Samantha returns him to human form
and makes him understand that he must forget her. Before
returning to his new love - a lamp in the antique shop, Clyde
makes a copy of the chair. Happy with her chair, Adelaide
allows Max to sign the contract.
