It Shouldn't Happen to a Dog
When Darrin's alcoholic and lecherous client Rex Barker makes a pass at Samantha, she decides to teach him a lesson by turning him into a dog. The dog runs away, but Samantha eventually gets him back. When Rex makes another pass at her, Darrin knocks him cold. Rex does wind up giving Darrin his account.
Mother Meets What's His Name
Samantha has lunch with a few of her nosy neighbours, using magic to assist with the meal. Endora refers to Darrin as "What's his name", and that night at their first meeting, Darrin tells Endora that they can get along without witchcraft. They have a heated exchange before Endora leaves.

Little Pitchers Have Big Fears
To help a boy named Marshall Burns gain self-confidence, Samantha uses her magic to help him to become a star baseball player.

Darrin's latest client wants to use a stereotypical ugly witch to promote his Halloween candy. Samantha is understandably upset, as are Bertha, Mary, and Aunt Clara, a trio of elderly witches who have dealt with prejudice for quite some time. When Darrin is fired for creating a campaign with a beautiful, curvaceous witch, the foursome teams up to give the client a taste of his own medicine.
