Plot

Sabrina Spellman is seen floating above her bed on her 16th birthday. At breakfast the next day, she is told by her two aunts that she is a witch, but does not believe them. After a few accidents at school and seeing her father in a book, she believes and begins to work on her magic. After being snubbed by Libby, the most popular girl in school, she accidentally turns Libby into a pineapple. While they manage to reverse the spell, Libby threatens to tell the entire school that Sabrina is a freak. Sabrina appeals to the Witches' Council to reverse time in order to save her from embarrassment. While initially being denied, Drell submits due to Aunt Hilda's wooing, and Sabrina lives the whole day over again, even turning the tables on Libby by squirting her with juice. The episode ends with her floating above the bed asleep.
