Throughout The Bewitched Series
Edit
As a result of her unique heritage, Tabitha started using magic at a young age. Samantha had her hands full, as did Darrin, trying to teach her to when and when not to use it. She was unusually headstrong and needed extra harsh discipline to keep her in line.
Her grandparents, Endora and Maurice were not happy about their granddaughter being raised as a mortal, but were glad that Tabitha grew up just right.
After graduation from college, Tabitha moved to California, where she had jobs as a magazine editor and associate producer of Paul Thurston's talk show. She began a romance with Paul, which continued until Mike, her childhood sweetheart, came back into her adult life to take her back to New York. She married Mike, an associate professor of archaeology and great nephew of her mortal grandparents, Frank and Phyllis Stephens, and they moved into her parents' house after Darrin and Samantha moved to Florida upon Darrin's retirement. Mike is the only mortal other than Darrin who knows that Tabitha has magical powers.
