Boom Boom Out Goes the Ed

' "Boom Boom Out Goes the Ed" is the 3rd episode of Season 5 and the 105th 'episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy''. In this episode, the entire Cul-de-Sac is blacked out, with Ed believing that it's by the dreaded mole mutants!

Plot
It's just another ordinary night in Peach Creek: Rolf is all too happy to introduce Kevin to the delights of a good old-fashioned Old Country beauty pageant, while over at Ed's study group Double D is pulling far more than his own weight while Ed studies the TV and Eddy's busy perusing some old comics. Edd working something educational. Yes, it's business as usual - that is, until a power outage hits!

As everyone rushes outside to find out what's happening, Edd does his best to maintain the peace but the others are listening about as much as they ever do and Ed's story of cannibalistic mole mutants is far more attention-grabbing. The mole mutant explanation gets a boost when Kevin, Rolf, and Plank all go missing and before long half the cul-de-sac is running about in terror, certain that they're next on the menu. Edd could really use some help in talking some sense into the others but of course Eddy's far more interested in the scam potential at hand for where there's mole mutants there's a chance to sell some prime mole mutant repellent! But as it turns out everyone's fear truly is for naught and Kevin and Rolf are indeed safe; they've simply taken to the sewers to set up Rolf's generator before Rolf misses any more of the Miss Arduous Fieldworker pageant. They're soon joined by a very out-of-his-element Double D, who "rescued" Plank, donning a protective suit and put aside his natural squeamishness in order to restore order to the cul-de-sac and perhaps show everyone he was right after all but this just isn't his night for Plank's got a plan to thwart those mole mutants and before long Double D just might be wishing he really was double done-for. At the end Edd is okay, Eddy runs after Ed trying to take the book away from Ed, and Edd turns the light off before the episode ends. After that, Eddy exclaims "Hey! Who turned out the lights?!".
