synopsis
Because of her marriage to Darrin, Samantha is stripped of her powers by the Witches' Council. Unaware of Sam's plight, her father, Maurice, kisses her on the cheek and promptly loses his powers as well. Grudgingly resigning himself to the life of a mortal, Maurice makes a pest of himself at the Stephens home and at Darrin's office. Even worse, Darrin cannot kiss his own wife lest her loss of powers become permanent. Written by Ed Jurist, "A Plague on Maurice and Samantha" first aired on November 10, 1971.
