While watching this episode again after some time, I was none too thrilled with the plot. I'd pretty much settled on giving this episode no more than 7 stars.
Until the final segment of the episode. I can't be sure if Bewitched was the first sitcom to show husband and wife sleeping in the same bed. But I do remember that it was a big deal at the time. Also, the chemistry between Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York was something special.....and the writers would, on occasion, show Samantha and Darrin to be getting a bit turned on with each other (all handled in the most discreet ways, of course).
With this closing sequence, there was a little loving banter between them....then Samantha climbed the stairs to the bedroom, while Darrin clearly showed what was on his mind.
I just loved that segment. I can't remember if they ever took it to that level again. It was sweet and warm and, well, realistic! For that closing segment, they earned an extra star!
