SummaryEdit

While trying to discover more clues to the family secret, Sabrina wakes up her Aunt Dorma, the "black sheep" of the family. Unfortunately, this enrages Aunt Dorma because she was taking her 10 year nap. In revenge, Dorma fills the Spellman house with poppies, which cause the Spellman family to fall asleep. Hilda and Zelda fall asleep instantaneously but Sabrina, as she is half-mortal, will gradually get sleepy until she is as out cold as her aunts. To complicate things, Valerie, Harvey, and Libby come to Sabrina's house to study for a brain buster competition at school. It's up to Sabrina to juggle between studying and helping her aunts who begin acting out their dreams.

Meanwhile, Salem goes to war with neighbor Mr. Tobias, after he continually runs over their trash cans and mailbox.
