Plot[]
Darrin catches Samantha twitching her nose. He is disappointed and reminds her she did not reveal her true identity until their honeymoon. Endora overhears their conversation and offers to transport Samantha back in time to give her the opportunity to see for sure if Darrin would have married her had he known she was a witch. Sam is sent back to an evening when she cooks dinner for Darrin. This time, she tells him that she is a witch. He does not believe her until she uses witchcraft to produce a feast. Darrin freaks out and runs away. Returning to the present, Sam is furious that Darrin would be so chicken, and Endora thinks that her daughter has her answer. However, Darrin comes downstairs and, when he realizes what is going on, asks to go back in time with Samantha to see what happened after he ran out. Back in time, Darrin confides to Larry about Samantha who pops in to prove she is a witch. Soon, Larry begins talking about how he and Darrin are going to use Samantha's powers to boost the agency's financial gain. Returning to the present, Endora claims that she has now proven what a mortal marriage really is. However, Darrin wants to go back one more time, so the Stephenses are sent back again and this time, despite an intervention from Endora to stop him from proposing, love triumphs.
