Plot[]
Darrin mistakenly believes that Endora has transformed Larry Tate into a teddy bear after his mother-in-law jokingly suggested she do so to free up Darrin's schedule and allow him and Samantha to attend a wedding. However, Endora directly asks Larry for this favor and, to thank him for granting it to her, she zaps up the sold out teddy bear Larry wants for his son and drops it off at McMann & Tate. Later, Louise discovers the bear, but since she has already found one, she returns Endora's to Tippet's Toy Store. When Darrin realizes what Louise has done, he rushes with Samantha to the store and they purchase all twenty-four teddy bears in stock and take them home. Soon, Sam finds one without "Made in Japan" on his rear and believes it to be "Larry". Just then Endora pops in and Darrin insults her to the point that she destroys the bear. The Stephenses are horrified and cannot believe it when Louise and, shortly thereafter, Larry himself arrive. The next day, Darrin apologizes to Endora.
