Episode Summary

Samantha and Darrin need some new formal wear for a dinner party that Larry is throwing for a new client, Charles Barrows. And who supplies the beautiful clothes for them to wear? Aunt Clara, the witch with the missing links. Everything goes well, until the clothes start disappearing off the backs of the Stephens. Also, Darrin gets in trouble not only for parking in front of a fire hydrant (Aunt Clara moved the hydrant earlier, but when the clothes started wearing off, the hydrant went back to the original place), but for a charge of indecent exposure!moreless

    "Mediocre"
    Larry Tate (David White) and his wife, Louise (Irene Vernon are throwing a special dinner party for a new and very important client. Naturally, Samantha and Darrin are invited to attend but they don't feel they have the proper attire. Enter Samantha's much-loved Aunt Clara (Marion Lorne) who helps out by conjuring impressive evening clothes for them to wear. Aunt Clara has also been invited along so she dresses herself up as well.

    Things begin to go wrong when the only available parking place is near a fire hydrant, which Aunt Clara obliging moves so that Darrin can park his car there, much to the surprise of a local police officer who is convinced that the hydrant had always been several feet away from where Aunt Clara had placed it.

    At the party, everyone is enjoying themselves until Aunt Clara's spell appears to wear off and the clothes she conjured start to disappear! Thinking quickly, Samantha re-clothes herself but Darrin isn't quite as lucky when he is caught running around outside by the same police officer as before and who is going to book him for several things, including indecent exposure AND parking near a fire hydrant, which has gone back to it's originalplace since the spell stopped working.

    A fairly weak script this time around but Marion Lorne is always spot on as Aunt Clara and can always raise a laugh with her antics.moreless
