What separates this from the similar episode in season two, "Aunt Clara's Old Flame" is the new story line of beautifying Esmerelda. Aunt Clara's (Marion Lorne) old boyfriend, Hedley Partridge (Charlie Ruggles) was coming to visit and she wanted to hide her dilapidating powers, not knowing he had the same problem.
Esmerelda isn't Aunt Clara, but she has some endearing qualities of her own. It was a bit excessive for her to believe she could be the beautiful reflection in the mirror.
It was nice to see Tom Bosley again. However, I think both Esmerelda and Ferdy were too young to have that problem.
