Sam's Spooky Chair - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Endora are talking in the foyer, the glass-paneled door at the end of the hallway is closed. When Darrin is seen in the study moments later fighting to get the chair in the closet, the door can be seen against the wall in the hallway, as it would be in the open position. When Darrin stumbles out of the study a moment later, the door is closed again.

My Friend Ben - S3-E13

Other mistake: When Samantha and Clara "pop" into town searching for Ben, they appear on the sidewalk a few feet in front of others, who don't react to their sudden, magical, appearance.

Samantha for the Defense - S3-E14

Factual error: Benjamin Franklin is portrayed as a gentleman in this episode and the previous My Friend Ben episode. In this episode he dates Aunt Clara at the end. In reality, Benjamin Franklin was a cad, a womanizer and a playboy. He was a marvellous man - a genius - but treated women terribly refusing to marry his common law wife, abandoning her for years while he played with other women in Europe... and treated his daughter like a second class citizen.

Ho Ho, the Clown - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: It's understandable with Tabitha being so young, but when she is on the couch and doll is zapped next to her, the scene editing is very choppy. Tabitha scoots about 8 inches to the right (center of couch) and is turned. It's very noticeable when looking at the green couch pillow beside/behind Tabitha.

Ho Ho, the Clown - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: The front door in the episode is white with no window at the top. The door is normally green with a half moon, frosted, window at the top. At the end when Ho Ho comes with Pony then Larry and the client show up the porch is also flatter and different.

The Trial and Error of Aunt Clara - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Samantha opens the door, you can see the 3 pictures by the door. The middle picture is straight. When the camera cuts to Samantha and Aunt Clara and returns to Larry at the door, the middle picture is crooked... a necessary plot point to distract Larry from the desk in the stair case.

The Trial and Error of Aunt Clara - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When the coven is reading the case against Clara, the gavel is lying in the middle of Judge Bean's Bench. The camera cuts to Darrin then returns to the Coven, who is still reading their case against Clara. The gavel is suddenly on the wooden platform. There is no indication the gavel had been used as the coven is still reading their case against Clara.

No More Mr. Nice Guy - S3-E28

Other mistake: In the opening scene, Endora disappears then reappears for Tabitha. If you watch closely, just before she reappears you can see the shadow of Agnes Morehead/Endora on the wall behind the couch quickly coming back to the couch for the camera cut to recapture her.

Samantha: Try to control your temper. Remember, "Peace on earth, goodwill to men" includes witches.

Samantha Fights City Hall - S5-E9

Trivia: Because Erin Murphy, who played Tabitha, was ill, her fraternal twin sister Diane took her place in this episode. By this time, Erin and Diane didn't resemble each other as much as they once did, and it was obvious to regular viewers of the show that it wasn't the Tabitha they were used to seeing. The producers received several letters asking "Who was that?"

Answer: Larry had been telling Darrin what it means psychologically that Samantha gave the coat away. Larry said giving it away meant she's happy being married but if she liked the coat it means she desires to be single and carefree. So when Darrin sees the coat, he immediately thinks Samantha doesn't want to be married and the fact that she twitched it means (in his mind) she wants to be a single, carefree witch again.

Answer: I haven't seen the episode, but generally in the show, Darrin was always suspicious that Samantha always used some kind of witchcraft for any situation (even if she didn't). He probably figured the same thing with the coat while in her possession.

You should watch the episodes in question before giving an answer so you know what you're talking about.
