The Stephens hire a maid named Naomi, who turns out to be a major klutz. Samantha helps her out magically when she messes up the dinner. The Tates think that she is a wonder and wants her to cater their dinner party. When Naomi makes a mess over at the Tates' house, Samantha pops up outside the window and helps her out again.

This episode was filmed on September 2, 1965, while Elizabeth Montgomery was in her eighth month of pregnancy.
(edit)
Alice Ghostley makes her first Bewitched appearance as Naomi, long before she settled on Esmerelda.
(edit)
Naomi: Do you know what working for you is like?
Samantha: What?
Naomi: It's like of a sudden I found my good fairy. (edit) Naomi: I'll clean, I'll scrub, I'll slave and I'll sign a note at ten-percent interest for everything I break.
(edit) Barbara, the very attractive job applicant: Here are references from the last five husbands I worked for.
Samantha: Don't references generally come from the wives?
Barbara: Not in my case. Somehow I always seem to establish better rapport with the husbands.
(edit) Mrs. Luftwaffe (applying for the Stevens maid job): My room must have a color television set. And I reserve the right to choose my own wallpaper.
Samantha: I see. Now about references.
Mrs. Luftwaffe: Yes, I’ll look at them now.
Samantha: (surprised) You want to see my references?
Mrs. Luftwaffe: From former housekeepers.
Samantha: Well, I’m afraid there haven’t been any.
Mrs. Luftwaffe: Uuuh. That's bad. I have a rule against working for beginners. (edit)
Samantha: What?
Naomi: It's like of a sudden I found my good fairy. (edit) Naomi: I'll clean, I'll scrub, I'll slave and I'll sign a note at ten-percent interest for everything I break.

When Louise calls Samantha on the telephone, an old I Love Lucy laugh track is used (May I remind everyone that Bewitched was one of those shows that used laugh tracks and one-camera shooting.) and an uh-oh from Deedee Ball (Lucy's mom) is plainly audible. This track is also used in Episode 64.
(edit)
The title alludes to the expression "Made to Order," meaning that the item was manufactured as specified by the customer.
