While Sabrina and Dreama talk about the crush Sabrina has on Josh, Sabrina finds herself in a sticky situation of having the opportunity to help Josh with his English homework on the same night of Harvey's football game. As a result, Sabrina asks Dreama if she could go Harvey's game and page her if he gets put in the game. However, after one too many false alarm pages by Dreama, Sabrina turns off her pager, leaving her friend in the tight spot of having to cover for her when Harvey starts looking for her in the stands. When Harvey learns that Sabrina had to rush home, he goes right over to the Spellman's and gets an unpleasant surprise. Meanwhile, Hilda and Zelda find themselves overwhelmed by all the work at the Clock Shop that they neglected their chores around the house. As a result, they are forced to hire their old friends the pirates as maids. Add a recap »

  • When Sabrina, Harvey and Dreama are in a class, you can see Melissa Joan Hart's neck tattoo covered. edit »
  • When Sabrina and Harvey enter the coffee shop, they start drinking cups that are just sitting around, they don't even order. edit »
  • Regarding the Witch Pager ordeal- wouldn't it be smarter of Sabrina to just say that she has a pager/cellphone on vibrate, and step away to take the call? edit »
  • If Sabrina needed to be in two places at once, why didn't she create a clone of herself like she did in "Halloween Story"? She could have programmed it to say, "Wow, it sure is cold out here.", "Go, Westbridge!", and "Yay, Harvey!" and nobody would have been the wiser. edit »
  • Brad doesn't appear in this episode. edit »
  • Zelda: I can't wait for our new housekeeper to get here...
    Hilda: I know. I'm exhausted watching you clean so much... edit »
  • Sabrina (to Dreama): Josh isn't even that nice...
    (Josh comes near them)
    Josh: Hi guys. Sabrina, here's your capuccino, just the way you like it. And don't worry about the dishes, I already did them.
    (he leaves)
    Sabrina: See? What a creep! edit »
  • Dreama: Hey, do you still have a crush on Josh?
    Sabrina: Oh, please... When was the last time I brought that up?
    Dreama: Yesterday...
    Sabrina: What, are you wearing a wire for the Feds? edit »
  • Josh: I can't believe the library is closed for painting. I'm sorry, certain places should always be open. Like hospitals. And Denny's. edit »
  • (After finishing their study session)
    Sabrina: I’d say we’re done here.
    Josh: Oh yes, now is there anything else I should know about Great Expectations?
    Sabrina: Only that I have them and am consequently always disappointed. edit »
  • Josh says the folk singer he always talks about is playing at the coffee shop and Sabrina asks if it's Bob Dylan. It's actually "the singer no one ever heard of," but he does have some things in common with folk legend Bob Dylan. They both have wild curly hair and play harmonica and acoustic guitar. edit »
  • "Prelude to a Kiss" is also the name of a Broadway musical. edit »
