Sabrina, the Teenage Witch season 4 episode 16, titled Welcome Back, Duke, follows the story of Sabrina as she tries to help her cousin Duke to start a new job as a school teacher at Westbridge High. However, Duke's old reputation as a troublemaker precedes him and he struggles to connect with his new students. Sabrina tries to help him by casting a spell to make him cool, but it backfires and turns him into a literal magnet for the ladies, causing chaos in the school.
Meanwhile, Hilda and Zelda try to reconcile their differences after their argument about renovating the coffeehouse. They come to realize that they have different tastes and agree to divide the coffeehouse into two: one half will be a traditional, cozy café and the other half will be a modern, avant-garde bistro.
As Duke's situation worsens, Sabrina tries to reverse the spell, but instead she accidentally alters his personality and he becomes a tyrannical teacher who imposes ridiculous rules on the students. Sabrina realizes that the only way to fix the situation is to make Duke leave the school before causing any more damage. She convinces him to quit and promises to find him another job where he can use his unique skills.
Overall, Welcome Back, Duke deals with the theme of acceptance and self-discovery, as Sabrina and Duke both learn to embrace their true selves. The episode is filled with humor, as expected from the show, and offers a heartwarming message about the importance of being true to oneself.
