Using magic, Samantha turns Castle Montdrako into a tourist attraction, full of ghostly thrills. Excited by his new business, Montdrako decides he doesn't need Elspeth and frees Darrin from the mirror. Elspeth convinces Chappell that Darrin is a great individualist and he gives Larry his account. Elspeth vanishes as Samantha kisses Darrin.
