Quotes
[last lines]
Larry Tate: Oh, I'll admit I was sceptical right up until the time Brinkman confirmed our research reports. Mothers and children don't buy Halloween candy, father's do. And that gorgeous witch on the billboard has kicked Brinkman's sales up twenty seven percent. Darrin, your instinct was absolutely right. Thank you.
Samantha Stephens: Well, of course it was. He's the best advertising man in the business.
Darrin Stephens: Thank you both for them kind words.
Larry Tate: Come on, Darrin, tell me, where'd you get the idea for that campaign?
Darrin Stephens: Well...
Samantha Stephens: It was intuition, and that's something you can't buy. You either have it or you haven't, wouldn't you say?
Larry Tate: I sure would. And I'd like to propose a toast. To Darrin's intuition, wherever it comes from, may he never lose it.
Darrin Stephens: I'll drink to that.
Samantha Stephens: Me too.

Crazy credits
Agnes Moorehead receives screen credit both in the opening and closing credits, but does not appear in the episode.

Funny and it has a lesson that we should learn.

One paragraph plot summary : Sam's friends are visiting Sam and they are talking about correcting people's view on witches. Sam gives the idea of having Darrin to help them. Meanwhile, Darrin in his company, he has to create ideas for Halloween. His client, Mr. Brickman wants to have witches on the poster. His idea of witches is that they have long noses and ugly green faces. When Darrin gets home, Samantha talks about it, but before she talks the main point, she finds out about Darrin's drawing on witches. Sam talks about her feeling on mortal people's thoughts on witches. At the end, Darrin's gave up and destroys his drawing. The next day, Darrin convinces Mr. Brickman that witches look pretty and they don't have long noses and ugly green faces. But Mr. Brickman doesn't like the idea of Darrin. So, Darrin is about to lose his job. When Samantha knows about it, she tries to fix it along with her friends. That night, they go to Mr. Brickman's home and gives a lesson to him, so that he could have the same feeling of what they had. Mr. Brickman realises the feeling of having long noses and ugly green faces, so, he accepts Darrin's idea. With the idea of Darrin, the sales increased and everything is better than before, thanks to Samantha.

Episode 7 is a great episode. It's kind of funny and it shows people should do what is right and should take the other people's feelings into account. Samantha is so smart and also, I love to see the magic they use. Aunt Clara is indeed useless old woman, but because of her, I feel like this episode becomes better than previous ones. Because of her, this episode becomes funnier. At the same time, it's so sad to see Samantha gives up her magic and ability to know things in advance. If she uses her abilities, it'd be better than now.

Overall is that this episode is a great episode and I've totally enjoyed it. Bewitched episodes are very good and I'm totally loving the show.
