When the electricity and most technology stops working on a quiet street in a generic American town, the residents start to grow suspicious of each other. They believe that there’s been an alien invasion, and they start to accuse each other of various things. The street eventually devolves into an uproar of lawlessness.

The kicker is that the aliens never even made it to the street. They were watching from above and only Maple street was affected. They end the episode commenting that humans tend to find the most dangerous enemy, and it’s usually us.

All they needed was to mess with our sense of order and we started to point fingers and cause our society to break down. It’s pretty familiar.
