If They Never Met is the 20th episode of the fourth season of the popular television show Bewitched. The episode is set in the familiar world of Samantha, who is a witch, and her husband Darrin, who is a mortal. The couple finds themselves in an alternate universe, where they never met each other.
The episode begins with a mysterious figure appearing in their living room. This figure turns out to be a warlock named Ockie, who has the ability to create alternate universes. He tells Samantha that he has created one where she and Darrin never met and fell in love. Samantha is skeptical but intrigued and decides to take a look.
As soon as they enter the new universe, Samantha and Darrin realize that they are no longer married. They both have different jobs, different friends, and completely different lives. Samantha is no longer a witch in this universe and has to figure out how to use her new-found human powers. Meanwhile, Darrin has become a successful businessman and is engaged to a woman named Sheila.
Samantha is heartbroken to see Darrin with another woman, but she decides to focus on her own problems. She uses her newfound human powers to apply for a job at an advertising agency, the same agency where Darrin works. Meanwhile, Darrin is struggling with his engagement to Sheila. He soon realizes that he doesn't love her and is still in love with Samantha, even though he doesn't remember her.
As Samantha and Darrin spend more time together in this new universe, they begin to remember bits and pieces of their previous life. They both realize that they are meant to be together and try to figure out a way to return to their own universe. However, Ockie tells them that this is not possible and that they must accept their fate.
Samantha and Darrin are devastated but continue to live their lives in this alternate universe. Samantha tries to make the best of her job by using her magical powers to come up with interesting advertising campaigns. Darrin, on the other hand, tries to find a way to break off his engagement with Sheila without hurting her.
As they both struggle with their own problems, Samantha and Darrin continue to spend time together and fall in love all over again. They realize that even though they are in a different universe, their love for each other remains the same.
In the end, Ockie decides to give them a chance to go back to their own universe. Samantha and Darrin are thrilled and are transported back to their previous life. They are overjoyed to discover that everything is back to normal and that they are once again together.
If They Never Met is a heartwarming episode that shows the power of love and the importance of fate. Despite being in a different universe, Samantha and Darrin's love for each other remained strong and true. The episode is a reminder that sometimes, the most unlikely of events can lead to the greatest love stories of all time.
