A Saintly Switch

Dan's new position with the New Orleans Saints brings the family to the city. They purchase a dilapidated mansion that immediately signals trouble at home. The move aggravates the strain between Dan and Sara as they navigate new roles.

Clark and Annette explore the attic and uncover a book of spells tied to the house's past. A babysitter voodoo sorceress reveals the property once belonged to a powerful local witch. The discovery plants the idea that magic could influence the family’s problems.

Desperate to fix their parents' relationship, the children perform a spell that swaps Dan and Sara’s bodies. The incantation triggers a life-changing switch almost immediately. The house’s magic becomes a reality in the waking world.

The next morning, Dan wakes up in Sara's body and Sara wakes up in Dan's body. They attempt to keep up appearances while taking on each other’s daily routines and responsibilities. The children are watching, knowing the truth but waiting to see if their plan holds.

Dan (in Sara's body) visits the doctor and learns that he is pregnant, turning their situation on its head. The revelation complicates their attempts to hide the truth from the kids. They begin to realize the real challenge is understanding each other’s lives, not just pretending.

Guided by the lessons she’s learning from Dan, Sara (in Dan’s body) starts coaching the Saints with unconventional methods. She uses a reward system and classroom-style tactics, and the team begins winning games. The success deepens their empathy for each other’s pressures.

Dan (in Sara’s body) learns to manage the household and grows closer to the children. Despite discomfort, he begins to appreciate Sara’s day-to-day responsibilities. His pregnancy adds a new dimension to his connection with the family.

The children confess to their parents that they used magic to swap bodies and try to reverse it. The babysitter explains that reversal will occur only when the couple truly understands each other, with a warning that the spell could become permanent if not resolved in time. The clock is counting toward the baby’s birth.

Dan and Sara apologize to each other and share a kiss, which the babysitter confirms as the key act of understanding the spell demands. The moment marks the turning point toward real empathy, setting the stage for the final days of the pregnancy.

The Saints face the Redskins in the decisive game that could propel them to the Super Bowl. Teammates notice a change in Dan’s behavior as Sara, in his body, balances leadership with a new, gentler approach. Tension rises as the moment tests their evolving understanding.

During or around the game, Sara goes into labor, challenging both players and staff. Dan’s earlier coaching style backfires briefly, prompting Clark to remind him to revert to Sara’s nurturing methods. The team fights through the moment as the birth looms in the background.

In the hospital, Sara gives birth to a son as Dan clinches the championship. The twin milestones seal a new balance for the family, with both parents finally understanding each other. The story hints that the spell will end on a note of true compatibility.

Although offered another coaching position, Dan turns it down to focus on his family and the life they’ve rebuilt. The choice confirms that their near-permanent body swap is no longer desirable. The family commits to staying together in their new roles.
