    When Libby and her friends start preading lies around school about Sabrina and Jenny, Sabrina decides to use her magic to set things straight. She does this by using some "truth sprinkles" from the closet of witches potions in the cakes that they are baking in school. Unfortunately the sprinkles are rather too good and all to soon rather too many home truths are coming out... The sprinkles make Jenny reveal she's sweet on Sabrina's love interest, Harvey. Then, Sabrina has to find a way to bring everything to normal again. Meanwhile, Hilda prepares for a date with Drell - despite his having stood her up over 1,000 times in the past.moreless
  • Sabrina uses truth sprinkles to get Libby to stop spreading rumours. Of course, not all goes according to plan.

    The second episode of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" offers just as few laughs as the pilot. If I remember correctly, the show starts to get a lot better after the fourth or fifth episode, in terms of humor. This episode is also a little silly, although there are several scenes that serve to expand the universe of the show and gives us an idea of how the magical world operates. In an effort to put a stop to Libby's vicious rumours about her and Jenny, Sabrina uses truth sprinkles (on a bundt cake) to serve to Jenny so she will not lie about Sabrina. Of course, this causes Libby to tell the truth in a way that hurts her and makes her temporarily lose her friends. And, of course, everyone else in school accidentally gets a dose of the truth sprinkles, which leads to a lot of hurt feelings and amusing confessions.

    Already I'm annoyed by Libby. I never payed much attention to this as a kid, but it's annoying to have "bad guys" who are there only to serve as an enemy to the protagonist and does not have a human side. This wasn't a boring episode, but it wasn't a very compelling one. I have mixed feelings about it at best, but it's just not that memorable.moreless
  • Overall this was good.

    Not the best first episode ever. If i hadnt watched this show loyally as a child, then I wouldnt havw atched it when it was one the other day. Anyways, if i was a first timer, this episode wouldnt make me want to keep watching the series. Although it premeired in the 90's, the special effects are still kinda cheesy. Overall, tho, it had a pretty ok plot line. The moral at the end was pretty good. Dont tell lies. I think seeing as im almost 16 years old, this show is a little too young for me, but for younger audiences, its a good choice.moreless

    this was an interesting episode. libby telling the truth was a sight to see and watching all the other people in her school also spilling their secrets was funny too. jenni was annoying. you got to see how dumb harvey is, i hope he smartens up a bit. zelda tricking sabrina was predictable but funny to see how sabrina acted and when she told her aunt that her dress was ugly was halarous! hilda standing drell up was great, he was hidious, i dont know what she sees in him and her changing of outfits was pretty cool to watch too.moreless

    Truth sprinkles make the world go round... now doesn't it!

    Sabrina gives some truth sprinkles to Libby so Libby will tell the truth about what she is saying about Sabrina and Jenny.

    Jenny thinks she likes Harvey and Jenny gets some of the sprinkles and tells Sabrina that she wants to go get pizza alone with him rather than with Sabrina coming along... she changes her mind after the fact that she is alone with him.

    Aunt Zelda teaches Sabrina a lesson that the truth will always set you free!

    This is one of the first episodes that shows Harvey and Sabrina really are starting to develop feelings for each other.moreless

Harvey: Sure; tonight, we have no secrets from each other. Sabrina: Well, it's kinda personal, but...I've been wanting to tell you this for the longest time. (leans closer) I think you have the world's most perfect sideburns. Harvey: Really? Sabrina: Yeah. And one more thing. Harvey: Yeah? Sabrina: Onions give you REALLY bad breath.

    • Sabrina: Hi Harvey, how's your cake? Harvey: Good; and you know, I didn't just take Home-Ec because Coach told me to, I like to cook. I like it a lot.

You know, Harvey and Jenny are alone together. It should be Harvey and me or Jenny and me, but it shouldn't be Harvey and Jenny alone without me. Zelda: So what are you going to do?

This is a reference to the incriminating recordings of former President Richard Nixon's discussions in the Oval Office during the Watergate scandal and at other times. One of the tapes has a mysterious 18 minutes of silence where Nixon's secretary claimed to have "accidentally" erased it.
