Still determined to prove that Darrin is unworthy of Samantha, Endora casts a spell which transforms Darrin into a narcissistic fop, replete with love beads and Nehru jacket. Darrin's "new look" nearly costs him his job when he incurs the wrath of conservative client Mr. Hascomb (Herb Voland). On this occasion, it is the changing attitude of Mrs. Hascomb (Sara Seegar), rather than Sam's magic, which saves the day. First shown on November 7, 1968, "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall" was written by Lila Garrett and Bernie Kahn. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When the Hucksters Club elects Darrin as Ad Man of the Year, Samantha pooh-poohs the notion that the honor will go to Darrin's head. To prove Sam wrong, Endora casts a spell which causes everyone to adore Darrin and to hang onto his every word, but only so long as he is in the same room with them. The fun begins when Darrin can't understand why his new fans suddenly become his biggest detractors when his back is turned, a fact that also causes enormous embarrassment for his boss, Larry Tate.

Hoping to retrieve Tabitha's toy flying saucer, Aunt Clara accidentally summons a genuine spaceship from the dog star Sirius, bearing two canine-like aliens named Alpha (Hamilton Camp) and Orvis (Steve Franken).

Originally telecast April 18, 1968, this was the final Bewitched episode to feature Marion Lorne as Aunt Clara; Lorne died on May 9 of that same year. "Samantha's Secret Saucer" was written by Jerry Mayer and Paul L. Friedman. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Darrin wonders if his life would be any different if Samantha were to tell the world that she is a witch. To purge such thoughts from her husband's head, Sam conjures up a nightmare for Darrin, wherein he discovers that too much knowledge about Sam's magical powers would result in nothing but grief for everyone concerned. By the end of the dream, both Sam and Darrin have been forced to join the army under threat of being burned at the stake. Written by Richard Baer, "I Confess" originally aired on April 4, 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While visiting the home of permissive parent Gretchen Millhowser (Peggy Pope), little Tabitha is tormented by Michael (Teddy Quinn), Gretchen's obnoxious brat of a son. Though she promised her own mommy, Samantha, that she wouldn't practice witchcraft, Tabitha can't resist the temptation to turn the bullying Michael into a bulldog. This was one of several Bewitched episodes written by former Orson Welles associate Richard Baer. "Playmates" was originally telecast on March 21, 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Thanks to a loose address number, a layer of synthetic grass is accidentally installed on the Stephenses' front lawn. Upon arriving home, Darrin thinks that Sam created the grass via witchcraft, and a battle royal ensues. The couple's argument spreads like wildfire throughout the neighborhood, especially when Bill McLain (Richard X. Slattery) accuses Darrin of "stealing" the plastic grass meant for him.

The "Prince of a Guy" in this episode is none other than Prince Charming (William Bassett), whom little Tabitha has brought to life from her storybook. Upon meeting the handsome prince, Larry immediately hires him as a male model, which results in a dilemma when it turns out that imaginary characters can't be photographed. As if that wasn't crisis enough, the prince has fallen in love with a "real" woman named Helen (Louise Glenn). Also known as "A Prince for a Day," this episode was written by Ed Jurist, and first aired on February 8, 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story arc, an unpleasant encounter with Darrin's former sweetheart, Sheila Sommers (Nancy Kovack), leads Samantha to wonder what would have happened if she had never met Darrin. "Helpful" Endora casts as spell to allow Sam to see how Darrin's romance with Sheila would have progressed without Sam to break things up. At first, Sam is heartbroken, but this being a family sitcom, a happy ending is not long in coming. Along with the returning Nancy Kovack, Frank Wilcox makes an encore appearance as Sheila's millionaire father, J.P. Sommers. Written by Ed Jurist, "If They Never Meet" first aired on January 25, 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Sexy witch Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) continues to be compelled to cast various and sundry magical spells despite the objections of her mortal ad executive husband, Darrin Stephens (Dick York), as the fantasy sitcom Bewitched enters its fourth season. Also returning for more fun, frivolity, and wacky witchcraft are Agnes Moorehead as Samantha's imperious witch mother, Endora; Erin Murphy as Darrin and Samantha's daughter, Tabitha (who is beginning to exhibit certain "special powers" herself); David White as Darrin's overzealous boss, Larry Tate; Sandra Gould and George Tobias as the Stephens' neighbors Gladys and Abner Kravitz; and, on occasion, Paul Lynde as Samantha's prankish warlock Uncle Arthur. Conspicuous by her absence throughout most of season four is Marion Lorne as "Sam's" befuddled Aunt Clara, whose magical spells somehow always go awry. Seriously ill and suffering from a rapidly failing memory, the 84-year-old Marion Lorne was forced to severely cut back her work load; the actress died just after filming wrapped for the season, on May 9, 1968. Season four's best episodes include "Long Live the Queen," in which "Sam" must assume the position of Queen of the Witches, with Darrin as her reluctant consort; "A Safe Sane Halloween," wherein little Tabitha exercises her newfound powers to brings a few storybook goblins to life; "Samantha's Thanksgiving to Remember," which finds the Stephens family accidentally zapped back to the 17th century, whereupon Darrin and not Sam is accused of witchcraft; and "A Majority of Two," featuring the delightful character comedian Richard Haydn (Uncle Max in The Sound of Music) as a Japanese businessman who falls in love with Aunt Clara. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Thanks to another typical Bewitched misunderstanding, Darrin is convinced that his aggressive new client, lipstick manufacturer Madame Marushka (Lisa Kirk), is really Endora in disguise. Meanwhile, the real Endora causes friction between Darrin and Larry by casting a spell on Marushka's business manager, Wilkerson (Henry Beckman). Can Samantha twitch her way out of this mess? First telecast on April 6, 1967, "How to Fail in Business With All Kinds of Help" was written by Ron Friedman. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

John Fiedler guest stars as Fergus F. Finglehoff, a frog who has been transformed into man. Having fallen in love with a female amphibian, Fergus demands that Samantha return him to his original frog form, but only the witch who cast the spell in first place can do that. Sam's solution is to change Fergus' froggy girlfriend, Phoebe (Corin Camcho), into a human -- a bit of magic which, alas, does not alleviate the crisis. Written by Ruth Brooks Flippen, "Nobody but a Frog Knows How to Live" originally aired on April 27, 1967. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Misunderstanding a random statement made by Darrin, bumbling Aunt Clara accidentally conjures up Queen Victoria (Jane Connell). Needless to say, the Queen is not amused, especially when she crosses swords with Darrin's highly opinionated new client, Mr. Morgan (Robert H. Harris). Before the crisis is resolved, Samantha finds herself playing hostess to the Queen's consort, Prince Albert. Written by Robert Riley Crutcher, "Aunt Clara's Victoria Victory" was originally broadcast on March 9, 1967. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Out of spite, Endora casts a spell that will make everyone hate and despite her son-in-law, Darrin. Unable to undo the spell, Samantha tries to set things right by giving Endora a taste of her own medicine. But Darrin, unaware that the spell is about to be lifted, nearly gums up the works with a boneheaded strategy of his own. Written by Jack Sher, "No More Mr. Nice Guy" originally aired on March 23, 1967, as the 100th episode of Bewitched. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
