I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha husband Darrin that she will not use magic, a promise that initiates a pattern that continues into each subsequent episode of the series; the conflict in each episode surrounds Samantha's failed attempts to keep her promise. The pilot is one of many episodes in the series that demonstrate that Samantha and Darrin have sexual desire for each other; as opposed to being depicted as sleeping in separate beds - like Rob and Laura Petrie in the concurrently running "The Dick Van Dyke Show" - Samantha and Darrin are depicted sleeping in the same bed and expressing eagerness to do so.
