[@warp9p659]

This clip demonstrates how powerful that Maurice truly is. Endora is usually portrayed as being an extremely powerful witch, but Maurice's power is even greater than that of Endora, Enchantra, and Hagatha combined. They were utterly helpless against him.

[@gwb7875]

Endora was a Very Powerful Witch as where her Sister's they where all Members of the Witch's Council and Maurice could Never let his Gaurd Down Around Endora because if he did She could Ovet Power Him and he Knew it but Endoras Greatest Power over him was that he Still loved Endora and never wanted any Other Warlocks to look at her.

[@RLucas3000]

I believe that Maurice is more powerful than Endora, but both are extremely powerful and come from notable witch families which is how Samantha later became head of the Witchs’ Council. But clearly Maurice still does love Endora. My guess is Maurice probably had an affair, or more likely a mistress, something much more common in the olden days when they were from, but clearly not acceptable to Endora, so she left him. Sometimes you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. I do have hope they will eventually reunite.

[@pjesf]

And I love how they gave his magic the thunderbolt sound effects. Isn't this the scene where he offered Aunt Clara a "lift" at the end? For some reason I always loved that - probably because Aunt Clara is so fragile and Maurice so powerful. #ChivalryGoalz

I like when Maurice has power over Endora..

[@kali3665]

Maurice was based very much on Elizabeth Montgomery's father, who by all accounts was equally as theatrical. But Maurice winds up taking Darrin's side more often than not. Still one of my favorite warlock characters - even Endora was threatened by him!! Interesting that the character is so proud of his name mah-REES!, while the actor himself preferred the British pronunciation MO-riss.

[@lynnpoint6395]

Bewitched had some interesting depth and continuity, including extended familial relationships between the siblings Endorra, Clara, Enchantra, Hagatha and Arthur, not to mention cousin Serena (the daughter of one of Endorra's sisters). And the relationship and history between Endorra and Maurice is very Bohemian for the times.

[@jaynedaily6080]

I never have figured out who Clara is related to.

[@lynnpoint6395]

@@jaynedaily6080 In the canon of the show, Clara is Endorra's sister. Other sisters include Enchantra and Hagatha, and then there is their brother Arthur. A reasonable estimate is that Clara is the oldest, followed by Hagatha, Enchantra, Endorra and then Arthur. One of these - not Endorra or Arthur and it doesn't seem like Clara - is probably the parent of cousin Serena, although it's possible that Serena is also the child of an unacknowledged sibling of Maurice.

[@johnfraraccio99]

Lest we forget Marion Lorne. These seven actors (sans Tabitha) could have raised the curtain on any stage and made it look easy. And Evans' delivery could put you through the nearest stage set wall. Look up his "G.I. Production of Hamlet," I kid you not.

Bravo great clip! Love Maurice so classy and his unconditional love to his daughter and grand daughter

[@khaley37781]

The small scene, which was cut here, between Maurice and Clara was so sweet. And I i agree with another reviewer: Endora would not have taken Tabitha away from Sam and Darrin. She would have been on their side against the others.

[@anonygent]

I disagree. This was entirely in keeping with Endora's disdainful attitude toward both Darrin and Samantha. Taking Tabitha away would have been exactly the kind of mean-spirited and selfish thing she would do. She couldn't do it alone, which is why she summoned the other two. She pulled the same kind of stunt with Adam as I recall, but for the exact opposite reason, that he didn't seem to have any powers. But when he revealed that he did, it stymied her plans to take him away.

[@brt5273]

Endora's character changed throughout the series. By the end of season two she was getting relatively friendly with Darrin. But then the writers made an abrupt change and the tone between them became even more antagonistic and intolerant. It's unfortunate. Although there are occasional incidents, I think it was generally a missed opportunity in the storyline for Darren to gain more and more respect, admiration, and status among the Witch community.

[@Baseballmom-1221]

If I was Sam, Endora would’ve lost the privilege of being around Tabitha for a long time.

"Or what...and they appear on Mt Everest!" Great job Maurice...he shows what a grand parents' job should be regardless of the wants of the grandparent.

[@kinndah2519]

It depends. If the parents are being abusive by making a child denied their own self, then other measures should be taken. This is a show and obviously it didn't show realistic consequences. When narcissists make their victims, which also include their own children, deny extraordinary parts of themselves... it results in suicide or depression and severe anxiety that takes years to unlearn. It can have an effect on everything in their life later. What Darren is doing to his family would never be acceptable these days and it would be enough to have the child taken away from them. Either that or when the child is old enough and can speak, they can decide at a certain age who they want to live with.
