Spoilers Below

Crash has a bit of a meltdown because everyone would rather stay hooked to their tech gadgets then play with him. Wyatt decides to use this as an opportunity to teach Crash about technology most importantly how to use a computer. Eventually, Crash earns an online tech degree and starts messing with everyone’s computers including Cleo who just got her hard drive wiped.

Next, Crash starts to learn all about gaming courtesy of Wyatt of whom has been playing a football game with Mr. Poulos using their portable gaming devices. Yep, everyone seems to be having a good time…until the transformer blows! Everyone in the house loses power to their devices and are stuck….with each other! Later Poulos brings up a whole bunch of books for the kids to read, including an encyclopedia for a school project for Cleo, and another one in improving conversation between Amanda and her used to be texting friend, Jennifer. Unfortunately, the books don’t go over so well because the girls end up arguing with each other and Crash tears up Cleo’s project.

To help pass the time, the entire house clears the entire house of furniture and decide to go at it in an indoor football game. The game gets pretty competitive and carries all of the bells and whistles of a real game. But, when the power comes back on everyone scrams and goes back to their gadgets.

First thing’s first. If the power gets shut off why wouldn’t the mother (aka Mel) be at home?? Am I the only one concerned with the fact that all these kids were left home all day and with no Mel around? Weird….also if the power goes out in the town from a storm, you still get cell phone service so things like text messages and phone calls would work fine. How would I know?? Well, when Hurricane Sandy hit and all of the power went out, if you had Verizon all your services still worked. Granted, you had to keep charge of your phone, but if you have a car your golden. That said, the climax or this week’s episode was again very good as the football game was entertaining. Also, Jennifer wasn’t too bad and I wouldn’t mind seeing more of her character instead of that ridiculous Pesto. Despite some plot holes, this system was all go for DisneyXD.
