Sabrina discovers that for Halloween, it's tradition for the Spellmans to go to a family gathering in the Other Realm, thrown by their Rich Bitch Cousin Marigold. As Harvey is throwing a Halloween party the same night, where Libby has offered to come by early, Sabrina creates a magical double to go there in her stead.
Also features the first appearance of Emily Hart as Sabrina's bratty cousin Amanda.
Tropes:
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: How Hilda gets Marigold at the end."I hope it wasn't too much trouble. Planning the party, preparing the food, divorcing Harold."
- Chekhov's Gunman: Sabrina mentions her deceased grandmother before going to the family thing, foreshadowing that she'll use her Reanimation on seeing her rather than James Dean.
- Clark Kenting: Sabrina shows up to Harvey's party in the same costume as her double and wears an eye mask to pretend to be someone else. Justified since everyone thinks that's her streaking outside.
- Death Is Cheap: Downplayed. On Halloween, witches can use magic to bring someone dead back for an hour.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Sabrina telling her grandmother that she's a witch is played very much like a coming out scene.
- Dreaded Kids' Table: Sabrina is not happy to learn that she has to sit at the kids' table at the family party even though she's much older than the other kids. Salem tells her that at least she doesn't have to sit at the kitty table like him.
- Enfant Terrible: Amanda is at her worst here. Thanks to her parents spoiling her, she is allowed to eat whatever food she wants, and traps people she doesn't like in jars.
- Family Disunion: A usually miserable family gathering reveals that Marigold is splitting up with Harold.
- Fur and Loathing: Marigold the Rich Bitch is wearing a dress with a fur-trimmed neckline.
- Girlfriend in Canada: Played with in that Marigold actually does have a husband Harold, but they're divorcing, and she lies that he's away on business and will possibly show up to the gathering later.
- Golden Moment: The Stinger has Sabrina breaking the fourth wall to tell the audience about the true meaning of Halloween.
- Halloween Cosplay: Libby is dressed as Jackie Kennedy, while Harvey is James Dean.
- Lady Drunk: Marigold's familiar Milady gets High on Catnip and blabs family secrets.
- Laser-Guided Karma:
- Marigold makes a habit of bragging about her marriage and making fun of Hilda and Zelda for being single. She's then outed for getting a divorce from Harold.
- Amanda tortures everyone, including Sabrina, by trapping them in jars if they displease her. That's her punishment from Marigold at the end.
- Libby sets Sabrina's double up to streak at the party, albeit not out of maliciousness, but the real Sabrina turning up at the same time means everyone thinks Libby herself is the one who streaked.
- Naked People Are Funny: Libby suggests that someone streak to make the party more exciting, and it's played entirely for comedy, especially when everyone thinks Libby did it herself.
- Strange Minds Think Alike:
- Sabrina first considers sending her double to the family gathering, but Salem warns her that her aunts would notice immediately. Hilda then actually tries to send a double to the family thing that Zelda indeed picks up on.
- Hilda and Zelda end up buying each other the same scarf as a present.
- Every boy at Harvey's party is dressed as James Dean.
- Took a Level in Badass: Marigold spends the whole episode spoiling Amanda and even thinking her torture of Sabrina is cute. She finally disciplines the little brat at the end by poofing her into a jar as punishment.
- Welcome to Corneria: The magical double can only be programmed to say three sentences.
- Sabrina's says "that is so true", "I'd love to" and "Mr Pool can be so annoying".
- Hilda's says "let's get this show on the road", "Happy Halloween" and "pass the potatoes".
- Wild Teen Party: Inverted. Although the cops do get called about loud music at Harvey's party, he's actually worried that it's not fun enough, so Libby tries to get Sabrina's double to streak.
