Synopsis[]
The power went out!
Plot[]
Just minutes after looking at a big chance of storms for the week, Marvin sees Brooklyn Guy waiting outside his home in the rain. He comes inside to take a shower while Marvin and Rose have a small argument about the weather girl, Rose suspecting him of falling smitten for them. When Brooklyn returns from his shower, the power in the house cuts out. Marvin asks Brooklyn to fix it as an electrician, but he calls Lightning McQueen for help instead.
On the call, Brooklyn realizes that, actually, he isn't talking to Lightning McQueen and that he was just losing his mind and believed he existed. He heads downstairs to find the circuit breaker, but hears repeated car noises and unintentionally spots Lightning McQueen in the house. Brooklyn runs away from him before waking up in the hospital, where he gets the real story: he was giving someone a speeding ticket during his police officer job before heading into Marvin's house and having several hallucinations about the whole ordeal.
