Samantha's Witchcraft Blows a Fuse

 is the twenty-fifth episode of the eighth season and the 253rd episode of the Bewitched series. The episode was completed by November 26, 1971.

Plot
After consuming an exotic Himalayan drink at a Chinese restaurant, Samantha feels ill. After her dizziness subsides, red stripes appear on her face. Aunt Hagatha calls Dr. Bombay to cure Samantha. He prescribes a potion from the witches' apothecary, but forgets to mention two hard-to-acquire ingredients.

General

 * Last episode to feature Dr. Bombay, the Apothecary and Aunt Hagatha
 * Remake of Season Two’s "Take Two Aspirins and Half a Pint of Porpoise Milk" (1965) with elements of Season Four's "Allergic to Macedonian Dodo Birds" (1967).
 * Larry and Louise Tate are mentioned, but not seen.

Casting

 * Agnes Moorehead and David White did not appear and received credit only.

Bloopers and Continuity Errors

 * Tibetan monks created the Himalayan cinnamon stick to drive the witches out of the Himalayan Mountains. Witches and warlocks have been in the Himalayas in previous episodes with no ill effects - Endora, Hagatha and Enchantra in "Witches and Warlocks Are My Favorite Things" (1966) and Dr. Bombay in "Samantha the Bard" (1969).
