As the Tates arrive, they bring along a peculiar present for Samantha – an adorable baby goat named Alexander. Samantha is instantly smitten with the playful creature and finds herself charmed by its mischievous antics. However, when Larry mentions that Alexander's nanny has unexpectedly quit, Samantha's natural instincts to help and her magical powers intertwine, leading her to offer her services as the temporary nanny for the baby goat.

Darrin, on the other hand, is less enthusiastic about the idea. He worries that Samantha's magical tendencies will be compromised, and their secret will be discovered. Despite his concerns, Samantha convinces him that she can handle the task while keeping her witchcraft under control. The couple agrees to take care of Alexander and hires a temporary nanny to care for their own daughter, Tabitha.
