In "There's No Witch Like an Old Witch," Aunt Clara's being declared not only competent by a judge, but the judge asking her to babysit his son. It's made even better by the one-shot Alpha Bitch Mrs. Bane smugly calling Aunt Clara crazy, and being shown up in the end.
"Just One Big Happy Family" sees Maurice, Samantha's father, disintegrating Darrin after an argument. Even Endora thinks this is cruel, and she teams up with Samantha to force Maurice to bring him back. Endora gets extra awesome points for defeating Maurice in a small magical battle: he tries to will her away, but she stands up to him, prompting him to remark that she's grown stronger (although that does raise some nasty questions about the nature of their marriage).
"Sisters at Heart". McMann and Tate woos Brockway, a new client, for a potential million-dollar contract; when Brockway mistakenly believes that Darrin is in a mixed marriage, he reveals his racist tendencies and demands that he be taken off the account, or no deal. Though Samantha gets awesome points for teaching Brockway a lesson by making herself, Darrin, Larry, and even Brockway (in a mirror) appear black, it's actually Larry who wins the prize for the episode's best moment. Upon discovering the real reason behind Brockway wanting Darrin off the job, Larry immediately becomes outraged and turns him down. The entire show paints Larry as a money-hungry man who's willing to do anything his clients want to make a deal, so to see him stand up to racism to the tune of a million dollars is amazing (especially considering that, by conversion standards, that amount would be worth 6.5 million dollars in the twenty-first century).
"The Crone of Cawdor" gives one to Endora. Darrin is working with a young woman named Terry Warbell, a fashion designer, on a major advertising account. Meanwhile, an old woman shows up in the Stevens' neighborhood and says that she's the real Terry. Endora gets suspicious, but rather than simply turn invisible or spy on the younger woman, she disguises herself as a mortal—something she can't stand—and tricks the supposed designer into making erroneous statements about fashion. It turns out that "Terry" is actually an evil witch who's planning to suck the youth out of Darrin. Samantha naturally stops it, but it's only because Endora pulled off such a brilliant trick. Score one for mothers-in-law.
One episode has Endora, Hagatha, Enchantra, and Clara, the old guard of witches, forming a coven to test the level of Tabitha's powers. When they determine that she is extraordinarily gifted, the first three plan to take her away to be raised at a witch boarding school. In a small but nevertheless awesome moment, Clara absolutely refuses to join her fellow old witches and sides with Samantha and Darrin instead. She even swears that no matter what, they have her support. Keep in mind that at this point, Clara's powers are rather weak, meaning that the other three witches could easily punish her, but she still chooses to defend her niece and nephew-in-law. That takes gumption.
When Endora and her sisters remain undeterred, Samantha then uses a whistle her father Maurice gave her to summon him. Despite his standing disapproval of Darrin, he nonetheless sends Tabitha back to her room. Endora and company object, so he banishes all three of them to the top of Mount Everest and only brings them back when they plead for him to do so. They end up having to concede.
Larry gets an awesome moment in "Aunt Clara's Victoria Victory." A Small Name, Big Ego client named Mr. Morgan acts like a petty tyrant, refusing to let Larry speak until spoken to or offer any insight into the hard work he and Darrin have done on his advertising campaign. Morgan insists on an unannounced visit to Samantha's house, and while there, he meets none other than Queen Victoria, accidentally pulled into the twentieth century by Aunt Clara's misguided witchcraft. Samantha claims that "Victoria" is actually her Aunt Harriet, who suffers from the delusion that she's the former ruler. When Morgan insults Victoria, Larry finally lets him have it, nailing him with a Big "SHUT UP!" and telling him exactly what he thinks of him. Though Morgan is initially offended, some magical help from Sam convinces him to praise Larry for his Brutal Honesty and stop being such a Jerkass.
Even better is the fact that Larry initially went along with all of Morgan's demands to get his contract. What made him finally stand up to him? He insulted Samantha's family. Larry clearly considers both Samantha and Darrin dear friends, and that friendship is more important to him than any client.
"Oedipus Hex" sees Endora hexing a bowl of popcorn to make anyone who eats it forget about work to prove that without the daily grind hovering over them, mortal men would never accomplish anything worthwhile. After Darrin, Larry, their current client, the milkman, the TV repairman and a cop all eat it, they spend the day disrupting Sam's meeting with a charity committe hoping to raise $1000 to put in a playground at the local park. Just about at her wit's end and with her mother not responding, Sam suddenly gets the idea to use the popcorn against Endora, feeds it to the committe to loosen them up a bit and, by the end of the meeting, the men have all gotten their respective employers to chip in and cover the entire $1000.
Aunt Clara's crowning moment in "The Trial and Error of Aunt Clara" has her successfully vanishing an entire witch court and everything she accidentally summoned from the Stephens' living room immediately after they've ruled her incompetent to continue using magic and declaring her earthbound. It was impressive enough for the judge to reverse his descison and restore her magic privileges. And the best part is, she did it purely out of her love for Samantha and Darrin.
