Plot[]
Darrin meets resistance trying to pitch an advertising campaign for a client who hates it before Darrin has a chance to explain his ideas. Since Darrin has recently encountered a series of failures, Larry suggests that he get some rest. In his misfortune, Darrin suspects a spell by his mother-in-law, but Endora swears that she has nothing to do with her son-in-law's slump. Samantha does not trust her mother. Calling Dr. Bombay, she asks him to check Darrin with a hexometer, a device capable of detecting the presence of witchcraft on a mortal. The scan confirms that magic is not involved and Darrin, very depressed, wants to quit his job and live by witchcraft. To boost her husband's creativity and confidence, Samantha twitches up a potion and tells Darrin that if he drinks it, he will succeed in whatever he does. Darrin believes Sam. At McMann & Tate, the client who was against him listens to all his ideas for the ad campaign and signs the contract. In the end, Samantha admits her potion was fake and that Darrin's success has nothing to do with magic, but with his mortal skill.
