Ep 22. Eye of the Beholder

In the Bewitched season 1 episode 22, titled "Eye of the Beholder", Samantha and Darrin are invited to a charity art auction where they meet an artist named Enrico Naldi. Enrico has an unusual ability - he can paint people's portraits without ever having seen them. Samantha is intrigued and asks Enrico to paint a portrait of her without looking at her.

Meanwhile, Darrin's client Larry Tate needs help with a new campaign, and he asks Darrin to come up with a slogan for the campaign. Darrin is stumped, and Larry suggests that they get some inspiration from Enrico's art. Darrin agrees, and they go to see Enrico's studio.

At the studio, Darrin sees Enrico's portrait of Samantha and is amazed by how accurate it is. Enrico tells Darrin that he painted the portrait while blindfolded, and Darrin is skeptical. However, Enrico insists that he has a gift, and he offers to paint Darrin's portrait. Darrin agrees, and Enrico begins painting with his eyes closed.

As Enrico paints, Samantha is starting to feel uncomfortable. She thinks that Enrico is using some sort of magic to paint his portraits, and she worries that he might be able to see her as a witch. Samantha tells Darrin about her concerns, but he assures her that Enrico is just a talented artist. However, Samantha is not convinced, and she uses her powers to make Enrico paint with his eyes open.

When Enrico realizes what Samantha has done, he is furious. He accuses Samantha of trying to steal his gift, and he storms out of the room. Darrin is upset with Samantha for interfering, and he tells her that she needs to stop being so paranoid about her witchcraft.

The next day, Enrico's portrait of Darrin is unveiled at the art auction, and it is a big hit. However, Darrin is unable to enjoy the success of the campaign because he is worried about Samantha. He confronts her about her fears, and they have a heart-to-heart conversation about their different perspectives on magic and the supernatural.

In the end, they are able to come to a mutual understanding, and Samantha decides to use her powers for good. She casts a spell to make sure that Enrico's next portrait is a success, and the auction raises a record amount of money for the charity. Darrin is proud of Samantha for using her powers to do something positive, and they leave the auction feeling happy and fulfilled.

Overall, "Eye of the Beholder" is a fun and engaging episode of Bewitched that explores the different perspectives on magic and the supernatural. The interactions between Samantha and Darrin are both humorous and heartfelt, and the storyline with Enrico provides an intriguing mystery that keeps the audience engaged until the very end.
