Darrin
vanishes and Samantha holds Endora responsible. Then Carlotta, a witch, reveals that eons before, Endora promised Samantha to her son Juke. Samantha protests that she's already married
to Darrin. Carlotta replies he's only a mortal and doesn't count.
She turns on the TV to show Darrin running from the roar of wild
beasts. Carlotta explains there are no beasts but Darrin will be
running forever if Samantha doesn't marry Juke. Samantha is
forced to agree because Endora is powerless against Carlotta.
Juke, a hag-ridden warlock in a little boy suit, confesses he
doesn't want to marry Samantha, but is afraid of his mother.
Samantha encourages him to stand up for himself but he can't.
Samantha tells Carlotta she will marry Juke because mortal
marriage was a strain. Juke follows Samantha's instructions to
defy Carlotta, and a tug of war ensues over him. Samantha
criticizes Juke's clothes and zaps him into a hippy outfit.
Furious, Carlotta zaps back the prep suit. Samantha zaps back
Juke's hippy outfit and adds long hair. When Juke sides with
Samantha, Carlotta calls off the wedding but Samantha
insist its on. Capitulating, Carlotta agrees to let Juke lead his
own life and pops Darrin back home, unaware of all that
happened. Later Endora brings a letter from Juke, announcing
his marriage and inviting Samantha to visit, if his wife consents.
