This episode was the third in a row to feature an appearance by Aunt Clara. Did the producers think Aunt Clara was that vital to the show? Perhaps, Marion Lorne was less expensive than other guest stars would have been. It is interesting, however, that Endora lost her powers, and they got transferred to Aunt Clara. Endora has a presence, even when she is powerless. I loved when she called Darren "Derwood" and then Dennis. The Macedonian Dodo bird thing was pretty silly (and what did that have to do with Clara gaining Endora's powers?) In the scenes with the giant bird, you can see Elizabeth Montgomery trying not to laugh! It was definitely not scripted. I had to notice, since I'm always watching Samantha anyway.
