When Sabrina learns that she can vote in the Other Realm after she solves the family secret, she gets caught by Zelda getting help solving it. When she puts a no short-cut spell on Sabrina, the young witch has to live one day without any modern conveniences. However, Mrs. Quick really tests her willingness to go along with the spell when she tries to tell Sabrina the answer to the next clue of the family secret.

Meanwhile, Zelda and Hilda begin some political mud slinging when they take opposing sides on the Other Realm propositions.
