Ep 14. Samantha Meets the Folks

Samantha Meets the Folks is the 14th episode of the first season of the classic TV show, Bewitched. In this episode, Samantha and Darrin travel to her parents' home in Westport, Connecticut to meet with them for the first time since their daughter married a mortal. Samantha's mother and father have yet to meet Darrin and show some apprehension about the meeting, as Samantha has never dated a mortal before.

Samantha's mother, Endora, is a powerful witch and is not pleased about her daughter's decision to marry a mortal. She is afraid that Samantha is going to miss out on the magical world and all that comes with it. Endora's magic plays a role in Samantha and Darrin's visit after she tries to make Darrin feel out of place in Samantha's home by bringing in a fancy butler, named Hans, to make Darrin feel inferior.

Despite Endora's attempts to make Darrin feel uncomfortable, Samantha's father, Maurice, takes a liking to him and is happy to see his daughter happy in her marriage. Maurice tries to talk to Darrin about his job and his future, but Darrin is not interested in talking about work while on vacation.

Meanwhile, Samantha's nosy neighbor, Gladys, is curious to know more about the Kravitz's new neighbors. She tries to find out who they are, but they are keeping a low profile, and nobody seems to know anything about them. Gladys becomes more and more interested as the episode goes on, and her curiosity leads to some hilarious moments.

As the visit continues, Endora convinces Samantha to show off her magical abilities to impress Darrin's parents. This leads to a disaster when she accidentally sets off a fire and is forced to use her powers to put it out, causing a big scene.

The episode ends with Darrin and Samantha leaving her parents' home, with Darrin feeling more confident in their relationship and Samantha feeling happy that her father approves of her marriage. As they leave, it is clear that Endora still disapproves, but Maurice is happy for his daughter and her new husband.

Overall, Samantha Meets the Folks is a fun and lighthearted episode of Bewitched that showcases the tension between the magical world and the mortal one. It is a great episode for anyone who loves the show and wants to see more of Samantha and Darrin's relationship.
