….did she have to appear before the Witch’s Council?

I think they made her Queen for one year to have some new story lines to write. Also, Elizabeth Montgomery looked beautiful in the gown she wore.

But the whole plot was dropped without a word by the next season. Afterwards, Sam had to appear before the Witch’s Council several times. I wonder why. Didn’t she have any clout with them after having served as Queen?

Apparently not. And it's pretty much made clear in the September 7th, 1967 ep that she will serve for a year. The next time she's called to appear before the "noble eight", is a little more than a year later in "It's So Nice to Have a Spouse Around the House."

Anyway, the council always scrutinized Samantha for her mortal marriage.
