Somewhat to her annoyance, Sabrina's aunts arrange a skiing trip, although in typical style, they choose a somewhat unusual venue - Mars! At first lovesick for Harvey, Sabrina cheers up when she meets Doug, a really cool ski instructor. While Sabrina is with Doug, she forgets to call Harvey, like they had agreed, which makes Harvey call her house and leave a note. Salem takes it and reminds Sabrina of what she had forgotten. Meanwhile, Hilda starts a romance with a man who claims to be a secret agent on a dangerous mission, which she assumes is just another holiday-on-Mars fib. Salem takes the opportunity to host a riotous cat party at home.
Zelda uses a spell to make Sabrina's lima beans reappear.
Hilda summons magazines, catalogues, and Tolstoy's War and Peace.
The ski instructor give Sabrina the ability to ski and the ability to play cribbage.
