Sabrina goes on a class trip to Salem, MA, the setting of the Salem Witch Trials. Each student is given a card saying "townsperson" and have to act like the puritans of 14th and 15th century, and it is revealed that one of the student's card says "witch." The trials begin when a jealous Libby accuses Jenny of witchcraft when Jenny befriends Libby's love interest, Adam. Sabrina defends Jenny's honor but is then accused of witchcraft herself. She calls her aunts for help but they insist that Sabrina stay on the trip. When Sabrina is on her trial, she pleads guilty of being a witch. However, not one of her classmates, except Libby, believe that she is really a witch. Finally, the students are informed that all of their cards said "townspeople" as the trials come to an end, and that the students themselves created the witches. But as the episode concludes and Sabrina finds her long lost card, she and the audience see that it indeed says "witch."
