Feeling that
Samantha needs time to cultivate people who might help
Darrin's career, Mrs. Stephens persuades her reluctant
daughter-in-law to hire a maid. The first applicant turns down
the job when she learns about Tabitha, but Amelia, plump and
sweet, can't be put off, even with Samantha's description of her
demands. Darrin and Samantha knows its dangerous to have a
maid, with all the witchcraft - including Tabitha's - going on.
However, Amelia is so devoted that neither can fire her. While
Amelia is out, Samantha confides her problem to Endora, who
whips up a violent storm, spreading chaos throughout the house.
Then Mrs. Stephens arrives with the very social Mrs. Otis. Samantha declares that Amelia loves challenges and will set things
right in no time. When Mrs. Otis gets a glint in her eye,
Samantha adds that Amelia is a marvelous cook, and uses
witchcraft to make everything perfect. Mrs. Otis tries to lure
Amelia away but she refuses, insisting she's never been so
happy. However, when Amelia reveals she's putting her son
through college, Mrs. Otis doubles her salary offer. Before
Amelia can refuse, Samantha zaps her into accepting the job
with Mrs. Otis, and smiles with satisfaction.
