- Quotes
Phyllis Stephens: [Removes lid from the decanter of sherry] I imagine Samantha keeps a little sherry for her uncle Arthur.
[Pours herself a glass]
Serena: Why would you think that?
Phyllis Stephens: Oh, don't misunderstand, Serena. I think Samantha's uncle Arthur has a marvellous sense of humour. It is just that his practical jokes are sometimes so unexpected. Don't you think he nips it up a bit
[winks]
Phyllis Stephens: occasionally?
Serena: Only when he needs reassuring.
Phyllis Stephens: That's what I meant.
[downs drink and looks at the giant hourglass in the living room, the sand flowing in the wrong direction]
Phyllis Stephens: Perhaps if you covered it.
Serena: It's not dead, Mrs Stephens. Besides, I'm timing Tabitha's nap.
Phyllis Stephens: Oh, I worry about that girl.
Serena: Tabitha?
Phyllis Stephens: I can be honest with you, can't I?
Serena: Please do
Phyllis Stephens: [Moves closer to Serena who shifts backwards, her arms folded tightly] Well, Samantha wants to keep this baby all to herself.
[Serena is fuming and glaring at Mrs Stephens]
Phyllis Stephens: Of course, I wouldn't dream of saying something to Samantha. She's being very selfish and perhaps someone other than her mother-in-law should advise her.
Serena: For her own good?
Phyllis Stephens: Of course, and for Tabitha's. Why it would break my heart to see that darling child follow her mother's example and grow up to be selfish.
Serena: [Can't stand it any longer] That rips it!
[stands up and zaps Mrs Stephens into a cat]
Phyllis Stephens: [Furiously miaows]
Serena: Meow, meow, yourself

A good episode, Serena supplies a few laughs. Especially a scene where Mrs. Stephens talks about many members of Sam's family including Endora and Uncle Arthur. This causes angry Serena to transform the old lady into a cat. She is picked up by a cat loving neighbor (Ruth McDevitt). Mr. Stevens shows up looking for his wife. Serena flirts with him.
