To Tell a Mortal is the tenth episode of Season 2 of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and the thirty-fourth episode overall.

Summary[]

It's Friday the 13th and Sabrina learns that this is the day when witches can tell mortals the truth about themselves and the mortals' memories will be erased of it once the day ends. Despite warnings from her aunts about bad consequences, Sabrina decides she can trust Valerie and Harvey to take the news in stride, and she's proven right when they both accept it and the three friends spend the day casting spells and having fun in the Other Realm. However, Libby overhears the news and alerts both the PTA and the media. Happily, Valerie and Harvey have Sabrina's back, and lie to Libby's mob when they show up to Sabrina's door, telling them that they have no clue what she's talking about.

Meanwhile, Zelda creates a cure for "bat breath," which causes a nest of bats to form in witch's mouths, using Hilda as her test subject by feeding her pomegranates.

Trivia[]

  • This is the second of three times that Harvey discovers Sabrina's secret, the first time being in the Season 1 episode "Troll Bride."
  • We learn that on Friday the 13th, black witch cats scare anyone when they're seen.
  • Nick Bakay, who voices Salem, sings the song "The Way You Look Tonight" when Valerie and Drew Carrey are dancing.
  • Slight retcon, in season 1, Jenny wanders into the other realm and is turned into a grasshopper. Mortals are not allowed into the other realm. However, in this episode, after they learn Sabrina's secret, Harvey and Valerie are welcomed without consequence, at what seems to be a carnival-like space.
  • As witches are stripped of their powers for telling a Mortal they are a witch Sabrina never tells Harvey and Valerie that she's a witch after they forget everything, despite the fact that they proved that they would easily accept it. It can be assumed that the writers and producers feared that the two knowing Sabrina's secret would greatly alter the series dynamic hence the law. Also, this is not true considering Harvey knew Sabrina was a witch in season 6 but he also reached his spell quota so, the law was moot in that episode.
  • Mr. Kraft does not appear in this episode.
  • We learn that Zelda's best friend was Gwendolyn.
