Ep 14. Speak the Truth

Samantha is back again, and she is up to her old witchcraft again. It all starts when she tells her husband, Darrin, that she needs some time alone, and disappears to her mother's house. When Darrin begins to worry about her, he tracks her down and they have a heart-to-heart discussion about the truth.

Meanwhile, Samantha's mother, Endora, uses her own brand of magic to convince Darrin to tell the truth about all of the little lies he has been telling Samantha since they got married. As a result, Darrin becomes a truth-telling machine, and he starts to tell everyone he meets exactly how he feels about them.

The results are both hilarious and disastrous, as one-by-one, friends, family, and even strangers are offended by Darrin's honesty. But Samantha's magical intervention saves the day, and the two of them come up with a plan to restore the balance of honesty and diplomacy. In the end, they learn that honesty really is the best policy, but only when delivered with a little bit of tact and diplomacy.
