Impatient with the slowness of "mortal" skating lessons, Endora cuts to the chase by transforming her granddaughter into a world-class figure skater. Almost immediately, the legendary Billy "Blades" Bookoltzer wants to audition Tabitha for the Olympics, forcing Samantha to take drastic action. Real-life Olympic skating champ Bob Paul appears as Tabitha's nonplussed instructor. Written by Richard Baer, "Samantha on Thin Ice" originally aired on January 29, 1972.
