Samantha's Shopping Spree is the twenty-ninth episode of the fifth season of the beloved show Bewitched. In this comedic and magical episode, Samantha Stephens finds herself in a frenzy of shopping adventures that lead to unexpected hilarity and bewitching encounters.

The episode begins with Samantha feeling a bit overwhelmed by her household tasks and responsibilities. As a dedicated wife and mother, she is constantly busy taking care of her family's needs and managing their magical world. However, Samantha craves a break from her routine and desires some personal time for herself. So when she stumbles upon an invitation to a grand shopping event, she seizes the opportunity to indulge in a bit of retail therapy.

Excited about her upcoming shopping spree, Samantha shares the news with her mischievous yet well-meaning mother, Endora. Always up for causing a stir, Endora decides to add her own touch of magic to Samantha's shopping experience. She enchants Samantha's wallet, ensuring that no matter how much Samantha spends, the wallet will never run out of money. With this enchantment, she encourages Samantha to live in the moment and enjoy her splurges to the fullest.

Armed with her magical wallet, Samantha heads off to the luxurious shopping event at a trendy department store. As she enters the store, Samantha is immediately captivated by the glamorous displays, designer clothes, and exquisite jewelry. Her senses are overwhelmed with the allure of high-end fashion, and she begins to explore the store with enthusiasm.

Throughout Samantha's shopping spree, she encounters various eccentric characters, fueling the hilarity of the episode. From an over-enthusiastic store clerk who insists on assisting Samantha with every purchase to a rival shopper with a penchant for outrageous fashion, the interactions bring a mix of comedy and fantasy to the episode. Samantha's magical abilities also come into play, as she uses her powers to navigate the crowded aisles, create shortcuts between departments, and even find hidden bargains.

Meanwhile, Samantha's husband, Darrin, starts to grow concerned about Samantha's excessive spending. He, too, becomes involved in the chaos when he discovers that his credit cards are mysteriously maxed out. Confused and frustrated, Darrin seeks the guidance of Samantha's quirky Aunt Clara, hoping that she can shed some light on the situation. Clara, however, only manages to add to the confusion, mistakenly enchanting a bouquet of flowers instead of helping.

As Samantha continues her shopping spree, she is met with unexpected encounters that push her magical powers to the limit. She finds herself caught in a fashion show mishap, where her powers inadvertently turn a model into a real-life mannequin. Samantha must use her wits and quick thinking to rectify the situation without arousing suspicion from the bewildered audience.

Amidst the chaos, Samantha also discovers that her magical wallet has its own limitations. As she reaches the store's final floor, Samantha realizes that her wallet is no longer supplying unlimited funds. With a sense of humor, Samantha accepts the reality of the situation and is forced to face the consequences of her shopping spree.

In the end, Samantha returns home, humbled but content. Despite the mishaps and unexpected challenges, Samantha's shopping adventure has provided her with a much-needed break from her daily routine. She learns valuable lessons about balance, responsibility, and the importance of appreciating what one already has.
