A power outage strikes Wisteria Lane, causing Mrs. McCluskey to stumble in the dark and break a rib. She doesn't want to let the paramedics take her to the hospital; she's too concerned that her late husband will be found if the basement freezer thaws. Fortunately, the power comes back on, so she consents to be loaded into the ambulance. What she doesn't know is that the freezer has shorted out.
