"Shelter from the Storm" is the tenth episode in the eighteenth season of Arthur. It is a two-part episode.

Summary[edit]

When a powerful hurricane hits Elwood City, everyone gets affected. Ladonna's father is summoned by the Army Corps of Engineers. Muffy relocates to a shelter, while Arthur struggles to reunite lost pets with their owners and Brain seeks the help of a counselor to help manage his anxiety.[2]

Plot[edit]

Part 1:

The show begins at the Ice Cream Shop with Brain showing his weather globe to Ladonna. Arthur Read, Buster Baxter, and Muffy Crosswire join in the discussion about hurricanes and preparations, since Hurricane Sadie is approaching.

Later on, Brain and his father are shown boarding up the Ice Cream Shop. They notice how Brain left his weather globe inside the shop, but he replies that he will pick it up the next day. During the hurricane, Brain is seen recording Sadie's winds.

Meanwhile, the Crosswires are having a hurricane party. The electricity goes out, but Bailey turns it back on with a generator.

At the Compsons' house, Rufus Compson receives a call for reporting to duty in the middle of a game of Charades. As a member of the Army Corps of Engineers, he is needed to help reinforce the overflowing Katzenellenbogen River. This means that he might miss Ladonna's birthday party.

The morning after the storm, Muffy is upset to find out that the electricity is out. As she walks down the stairs, she is surprised to discover that the first floor of her house is flooded. Arthur's house, on the other hand, is dry but he is deeply distraught upon watching the news about abandoned pets. As for Ladonna, she proclaims of skipping her birthday if her father does not come, which Bud finds surprising and "against the laws of nature." The Ice Cream Shop was damaged by a fallen tree, which Brain finds shocking due to the fact that the other shops on their street were still intact. This affects him greatly: he is scared of the wind and becomes anxious.

At school, Buster suggests Arthur to help out at the pet shelter. Muffy tells Brain that her house was "destroyed" and that she has to stay at a hotel. Brain discovers in class that he forgot his textbooks, which are at his house.

After school, Ladonna video chats with her father, which doesn't go so well due to bad connection. The Crosswires found out that their hotel and all other hotels are all booked and are thus forced to stay at a shelter. This is where Muffy meets Kaylie. Ladonna has a bad dream about her father missing many important events in her life. Meanwhile, Brain cannot sleep at all due to the winds and tree shadows. His parents become concerned about him.

Part 2:

Muffy is at the shelter and cannot sleep due to the snoring. She then meets Kaylie, the "mayor of the shelter," who gives her tips on coping in the shelter. They both have a bit of fun.

Brain and his parents visit Dr. Paula, a therapist. He and Dr. Paula have a one-on-one discussion about his anxieties and they practice breathing deeply.

Arthur is trying to raise funds for the animal shelter. His initial efforts do not go so well. He then makes a website with help from his mother. The website becomes a success and Mr. Ratburn invites him to share it with the class.

Bud is still concerned about Ladonna not having a birthday party, to which D.W. suggests he persists in throwing her one anyway.

Muffy and Kaylie visit Kaylie's house, which was destroyed. Muffy realizes how fortunate she is and invites Kaylie and her mom live with her family until their house is rebuilt. Kaylie's touched by the offer and but politely declines it, explaining to Muffy that she and her mother has already made the decision with Kaylie's uncle in Florida for a while in the case something occured. However, they agree to stay in touch until Kaylie comes back.

Brain took a shortcut to the party and overcomes his fears. He comes and gives her a repaired weather globe as a present.
