Kevin discovers that having a female roommate isn't going to be as fun as he fantasized. Trying to be courteous, his chivalrous gestures are rebuked by Casey's strong willed independence.  When Anatole and his goat show up at the Owens home, Anatole claims it is customary in his country for the father of a son who gives a boarder the boot to take the boarder in. (Kevin kicked Anatole out in "Roommates"[ Season 5, Episode 3])  Less than pleased to have an ex-goat herder living under his roof, George points Anatole and his goat towards the door. In turn, Anatole puts a curse on the Owens family.

Kevin dreams of Casey as Cinderella and Mr. Belvedere as the evil step mother, with himself as Prince charming who comes to take Casey from her predicament to live with him in his kingdom. The dream is broken when Casey/Cinderalla rebukes Kevin and tells him she doesn't need saving. Kevin wakes to find Casey next too him, afraid of the thunderstorm outside, with a severe warning to keep his hands to himself.  Thinking that he has finally broken the ice with Casey, Kevin is puzzled when the next morning, she makes it clear nothing has changed between them. 

Casey dreams of Kevin as a college professor attending a party with his equally intellectual peers. She finds herself as Kevin's ditzy wife who needs medication to stay reasonably lucid. Everyone starts to call her "What a Bimbo!" which shocks her awake. She wakes up to a knock on the door, which turns out to be their sleazy landlord who seems to have less than desirable intentions towards her. Kevin arrives just in time to save her. But Casey once again rebukes him, saying she doesn't need saving.

Going to Mr. Belvedere for advice on why he has mixed feelings towards Casey, Mr. Belvedere sees the unmistakable signs of a young man in love.

Not taking their curse seriously until each member of the family is plagued by bad luck, the family turns to Mr. Belvedere to expel the demons. Turning to his book, "The Butler's Guide to Hex Removal", he concocts a ceremony to eradicate the curse. Dressed in turkey feathers, chicken bones and cheddar cheese, the Owens family begin their ritual dance to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey". Halfway through the dance, Anatole shows up and tells them the curse was only the twenty-four hour type. 

Returning to his apartment, Kevin finds the table set for a romantic dinner for two. Taking Casey in his arms and kissing her, he is surprised when she returns his kiss. Admitting that she likes Kevin, Casey promptly assures him he is still sleeping on the couch, alone.
 

The "curse" itself is one of the more fantastic elements seen so far in the show. One of the reasons that I liked the show so much was  because of it's comfortable reality spiced once in a while with unique and oftentimes funny situations brought about by Mr. Belvedere's or any of the family member's eccentricities.  A fantastic element such as a supernatural "curse" shakes the reality of the show a bit, but the funny way in which Mr. Belvedere and the family try to fight the curse more than makes up for it.

At first I thought that the British professor who guested in this episode was John Cleese of Monty Python/Fish Called Wanda/James Bond fame. He looked like John Cleese, he stood like John Cleese, and more importantly, he talked like John Cleese. Later on, I would learn that he was, in fact, Michael Ensign. He played millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim in James Cameron's Titanic.
