synopsis
It looks like the jig is up when Darrin's mother, Phyllis (Mabel Albertson), catches her grandson, Adam, in an act of magic. Using reverse psychology, Samantha manages to make it appear as if Phyllis is herself a sorceress. The problems that stem from this misapprehension culminate in a zany mock séance, and a major "change of life" for Phyllis' husband, Frank (Robert Simon). Written by Ed Jurist, "Samantha and the Antique Doll" originally aired on April 22, 1971, as the final episode of Bewitched's seventh season.
