Silent Movie is the twenty fourth episode of the third season and seventy fourth overall episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Summary
Sabrina and Hilda, unhappy that Mr. Kraft is seemingly going to propose marriage to Zelda, cast two silence spells ("mum's the word" and "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all") on themselves, as to not ruin Zelda's big night. While Mr. Kraft is dining with the Spellmans, a nervous Harvey arrives and after much ado, tells Sabrina he loves her. But under a self-imposed "silence" spell, she unfortunately can't respond in kind.
Then, because two silence spells were cast under one roof, the Spellman home becomes a silent movie, in which Sabrina is tied to a train track by the villain, Mr. Kraft. Luckily, Harvey enters the silent movie as a mountie and saves his beloved Sabrina. Once the silent movie is finished, the spell is broken and Sabrina is able to tell Harvey that she loves him and Mr. Kraft is able to ask Zelda his question...to help with his taxes.
