Changing her own personality, Samantha becomes a French sculptress,
Michelle. She tells Darrin his face exudes the masculine appeal
she has always tried to find in a model. Darrin turns down Michelle's
request that he pose for her, suspecting that she is Samantha.
A substitute secretary, Barbara Lucas, appears at the office and
Darrin, thinking it is another of Samantha's tricks, makes a play
for her, just a Samantha walks in. Her jealous reaction convinces
Darrin that Samantha really loves him. Darrin explains he thought
she was posing as Barbara, but leaves Samantha with an uncertain
feeling.

Darrin finds Samantha addressing a group of neighbors, including Abner and Gladys Kravitz, on behalf of Ed Wright's candidacy for councilman. Listening to Wright denouncing the incumbent, John C. Cavanaugh, for dipping into city funds, Darrin takes up Wright's cause. At Darrin's suggestion Wright challenges Cavanaugh to a television debate on all issues, particularly the new drainage project. Before the debate, the government orders an investigation of the project. However, during the debate, Mr. Sedgwick, of the governor's staff, praises the project.
While Darrin berates Samantha for dragging him into politics,
a water main bursts. Although Wright's victory is assured, Darrin
holds Samantha responsible for the flood. However, Endora tells
Darrin she caused the flood to stop Darrin from blaming Samantha
for involving him in politics. When Darrin says he'd give anything
to have Cavanaugh in the palm of his hand, Endora obliges him.

Samantha and Endora discover the culinary delights of Mario's restaurant. Mario tells them he is going broke because he refuses to sell pizza. Samantha learns that Darrin's agency has a new client, Linton Baldwin, the owner of a large chain of pizza parlors. When Samantha uses witchcraft to get a huge newspaper ad for Mario, and Endora inserts a plug for him on Baldwin's TV program, Baldwin tells Larry Tate he is canceling his account and signing with the agency handling Mario's restaurant.
Realizing Darrin's career is in jeopardy, Samantha persuades Endora
to help save the Baldwin account for Darrin. They lay out a spectacular
advertising campaign for Baldwin and give the credit to Darrin's
agency. Not only does Baldwin ask Darrin's agency to keep his
account, but Mario's restaurant becomes a great success.

Almost as determined as Endora to break up Samantha's marriage to a mere mortal, Samantha's cousin Edgar, an elf, begins playing pranks on Darrin. Darrin's agency has been trying to hold onto to the Shelley Shoe account. Edgar, invisible to all, plagues Darrin in his office. Darrin is sure Endora is working on him again, and has difficulty persuading Larry Tate to let him present the new campaign to Mr. Shelley. At the sales meeting, Fred Schulwiler, an unscrupulous competitor, almost gets the account when he makes it appear that Darrin is trying to make Mr. Shelley look ridiculous.
When Samantha convinces Edgar that she is very happy with Darrin,
he switches his attention to Schulwiler. Before Edgar is through,
Schulwiler has lost all chance of landing the Shelley account.
Darrin, coming up with an advertising campaign featuring an elf
not unlike Edgar, ties up the account for his firm.
