Sabrina makes three wishes come true for her unsuspecting friends: Jenny gets elected student president, Harvey becomes a football star, and Mr. Pool becomes rich (by discovering how to change lead into gold).

Sabrina is faced with the ominous task of explaining her error to the Witches' Council. Meanwhile, Salem must perform community service as part of his sentence.
