    "Fair"
    Abner and Gladys Kravitz (George Tobias and Alice Perace) have been married for over 30 years, so it isn't unusual that there are a few moments of discord along the way, however, after a particularly big fight, an irrate Alice throws Abner out of the house and he turns up on Samantha and Darrin's doorstep wearing nothing but pyjamas.

    At first, the young couple are happy to have Abner stay with them but things become increasingly difficult when he starts expecting certain types of food and to have his shirts done at Samantha's local laundry. Eventually, Darrin insists that something must be done and Samantha devises a plan whereby both Alice and Abner share a "dream" about the day they decided to get married. The witchy ruse works and the two milddle-aged lovebirds run outside in slow-motion to embrace each other and sort out their difficulties.

    This one has some funny moments, particularly Abner's almost infuriating politeness and, of course, the slow-motion running scene!moreless
