Caillou then lets Gilbert out, but he quickly comes back inside. Daddy says that the storm is getting worst. Then, Mommy tells Caillou to go wash up for supper.

Caillou goes upstairs to wash his hands, when suddenly the lights flicker and the power goes out, due to the blizzard knocking down power lines. Caillou is initially afraid of the dark when the power's out so then he tries the switch but it does not work so he calls out to Daddy and he hurried up the stairs. Caillou tells Daddy that the lights aren't working and Daddy proclaims that the storm has caused a power failure then he shuts off the water and the boys head out of the bathroom.

Mom's home-cooked dinner is canceled, so they need an alternate dinner plan. Caillou's Daddy comes up to find him and then goes down to the basement to find some flashlights and candles. Caillou gets scared of being alone in the dark, but he gets afraid when the candle burns out and when Daddy comes back with some flashlights and candles, he feels better. Then Caillou's Mommy prepares peanut butter sandwiches for their dinner.
