Bewitched

Darrin (Dick York/Dick Sargent) and Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) are a young, bi-species married couple: he's a mortal human being, she's a witch, something which she does not divulge to him until after their wedding. Darrin just wants them to live a simple, mortal life, to which Samantha agrees, meaning no witchcraft and no telling any of their mortal friends and relatives of her being a witch. However, that no witchcraft vow is difficult to maintain if only because of Samantha wanting or needing to use it to get out of one scrape or another, and her relatives, especially her mother Endora (Agnes Moorehead), the most constant thorn in Darrin's side, against the marriage and the idea of denying Samantha's heritage as a witch. Mortals in their lives also add to their complicated lives: Darrin's friend and spendthrift boss, Larry Tate (David White) of McMann and Tate Advertising, who always wants Darrin to do all the work while the company gets all the glory and money; their nosy neighbors, the Kravitzes, Gladys Kravitz (Sandra Gould/Alice Pearce), who always arrives at the most inopportune time to show her exasperated husband Abner Kravitz (George Tobias) that something funny is going on in the Stephens house; and Darrin's parents, his mother, Phyllis Stephens (Mabel Albertson), who is prone to splitting headaches which become more prevalent as she thinks she sees things in Samantha that just couldn't be in her mortal view. That complicated life gets even more complicated when they start a family, the children who could be mortal or who could be witches and warlocks.

Samantha is excited by Darrin's news: he is about to sign what may be the biggest account of his career, Larry is giving him a big bonus because of it, and they can use the money for the cruise to Bermuda they've dreamed of taking. Samantha's excitement is tempered when she later learns that she's lost her powers, about which Darrin is unaware. Dr. Bombay's diagnosis: she's temporarily lost her powers due to non-use of her witchcraft, which is making those powers "dam" up, which in turn will eventually explode. To recover, Samantha has to do one of the basics of witchcraft, namely levitate or "fly". Concurrently, Darrin learns that the account may be in jeopardy because the client company's lawyer, M.J. Nilesmunster, is "Mary Jane", an old girlfriend from a long time ago who then vowed revenge on Darrin, she who is required to sign the contract. After Darrin telephones home telling Samantha not to book the trip yet, Endora eventually grabs the phone to tell Darrin that Samantha can no longer talk since she has become busy "flying". So when Darrin sees a fly buzzing around the meeting room, he is convinced that the fly is Samantha who has come to place a spell on M.J. to sign the contract by erasing any memory of Darrin from her past. M.J. does sign. Darrin believes this self-serving move by Samantha is a potentially marriage ending one, while Darrin not believing that she was not that fly is also potentially marriage ending for Samantha. Will anything or anyone convince either of them otherwise?
