Short summary
Tabitha's high school friend Portia shows up and has a thing for producer Marvin Decker who is just celebrating his twentieth anniversary. After he resists her advances, she sends him a velvet coat that turns him into a swinger. Tabitha is determined to save him, so she heats him up and he removes his coat. Portia counters with another spell and begins remaking her "Papa Bear." Tabitha helps Marvin's wife by dressing her up like Portia and then using her sense of humor they laugh together about how ridiculous hey look. Portia gets angry when people laugh at her, so she leaves quickly and the Deckers are back together.
The title refers to the song "That Old Black Magic" written by Harold Arlen, with the lyrics by Johnny Mercer.
After Tabitha's friend Portia puts a "swinger" spell on her boss Marvin Decker, he wanders by her and says, "Who loves ya, baby?" Tabitha quips, "That's all we need, a black Kojak." That line was one of Kojak's catch phrases. Tabitha's statement is something of a prediction since in 2005 the police series Kojak was remade with black actor Ving Rhames starring as Lieutenant Theo Kojak.
