When Aunt Clara arrives, she immediately loses her powers and accidentally turns herself into a kitten.

Meanwhile, Endora, Samantha's mother, pays a visit and is less than pleased to see Aunt Clara causing havoc.

Throughout the episode, there are several humorous moments as Aunt Clara accidentally turns people into animals, creates a giant snowstorm in the house, and accidentally shrinks Darrin to a small size. However, despite these mishaps, Aunt Clara's good intentions are always clear, and her love for her family shines through.
Overall, "The Short Happy Circuit of Aunt Clara" is a fun and lighthearted episode of Bewitched that showcases the show's humorous side. Despite the magical mayhem caused by Aunt Clara, the episode ultimately has a positive message about the importance of family and the power of love.
