The Blackout

The Blackout is the first half of the 8th episode of Season 12. It first aired on April 22, 2009 along with Mei Lin Takes a Stand.

Summary
Arthur and D.W. Read aren't sure they can survive without TV and air conditioning when a blackout hits Elwood City on the hottest day of the year, until they can learn about how Vicita and her family deal with the heat, as they did often in Ecuador. When the power eventually returns, Mr. Molina turns off the lights so they can continue the Fiesta they threw during the Blackout.

Quotes

 * Arthur: Hey, Buster, is your power out, too?
 * Buster: Yeah, but I have a little bit of light. Something in my food cabinet is glowing.
