Edd and Eddy peer through Ed's window and finds that the entire cul-de-sac is without light. They spot a figure coming out of one of the houses, Edd investigates as Eddy, after getting Ed to stop flipping though the channels of the dead TV, follows.

Edd discovers the figure is Nazz (who oddly is only wearing her underwear, a vest and slipper) and greets her

Trivia/Goofs

 * The plot of this episode is similar to the classic Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," where a blackout occurs and a comic-reading kid thinks that aliens masquerading as humans caused the blackout.
 * This is the second episode where Rolf's television is shown. The first episode was "Knock Knock Who's Ed?"
 * The Mole Mutants are based on a B-movie of the horror genre called C.H.U.D..
 * This is the third time Edd has lost his hat, but again you can't see what's under it because of Double D has his hood on with raw sewage covering him.
 * This is one of Eddy's scams that actually worked (he just came out money-less due to Ed throwing them at Double D).
 * Although the kids were very eager to buy Eddy's Mole Mutant Repellent, they never used it and there was no mention of it later on in the episode.
 * This was the first episode of season 5 to be shown on Cartoon Network in the UK, on October 23, 2006.
 * Eddy breaks the fourth wall saying "But it's the end of the show, Ed!"
 * It is unknown how the power outage came to be.
 * When the Eds were in Ed's house, Eddy wasn't wearing his sweatshirt, but when they headed outside, he was wearing it, though we never saw him put it on.
 * When Jimmy is all scared about not wanting to get eaten by the moles, notice that when he clenches his teeth, he has a full row of top teeth, but these should have all been damaged, as shown in the episode "Every Which Way But Ed".
 * The so-called Mole Mutants are possibly an evolved race of Mole People described in Ed's comic book.
 * When the lights were back up, everything came on tentatively, when, after power is restored, everything should have come on simultaneously.
 * The part in which Ed is talking about how the Mole Mutants go through people's skulls, he shines the light through his ear and reveals that his whole head and brain is made out of buttered toast. Ed also had some other brains in other episodes.
 * When Ed says "De-skulled", captions read "Be scared".
 * Ed said "Seen it" ten times in this episode.
 * The Kankers are absent in this episode.
 * This is the second episode taking place completely in night time. The first was in "A Glass of Warm Ed", but at the end, it's morning.
 * Eddy said "Hey! Who turned out the lights?!" twice in this episode. Once at the beginning, and once at the end.
 * This is the first and only appearance of the Power Generator, which Rolf brought out to bring back power to the Cul-de-sac. The Power Generator goes from a scale of 'Baby', to 'Womanly', to 'Good Enough'. Kevin, who was trying to generate the power from the machine, was unable to go past 'Baby'.
 * When Ed and Eddy were cowering in fear from Edd the doorway unblocked but when Edd tries to leave it's blocked again.
 * When the children prepare to flush their toilets, its revealed that Ed is merely about to activate his Toaster.
 * It is unknown how Double D traveled - via sewer - to appear from Ed's toilet. But perhaps since it was the only toilet not flushed, it was the only area not flooded, maybe leading him to chose it for his escape.
 * Eddy didn't have a big role in this episode. He sat on top of the sewer lid halfway through the episode.
