The Spellmans have to enlist the help of The Witches Council to undo Sabrina's mishap.

[edit] Trivia

  • There are two endings to this episode. In the first one Salem tells Sabrina how to use magic to get a glass of milk and in the second one Salem tries to tell the audience that they are under his control, but leaves when he hears a can opener. "Please be tuna." "Please be tuna."
  • Sabrina, Hilda, Zelda, Harvey & Salem are all based on characters from the comic books (except in the comics, Hilda was the serious aunt and Zelda was the wacky aunt). Drell may be based on a character named Della from the comics, but this has not been confirmed.
  • There are different people playing the roles of Harvey, Zelda, and Hilda in the TV series. Marnie has a new name, but remains Sabrina's best friend.
  • Director Robby Benson has a literal "cameo" role as the talking photograph of Sabrina's father Edward.
