Recap
On Maple Street, U.S.A., the neighborhood committee is discussing holiday decorations. Will Marshall is somewhat amused at the whole thing, while Dylan is somewhat confrontational about any disagreements. One woman brings up the newest family, which built a chain fence. Dylan thinks they’re weird because they didn’t put up a flag on Veterans’ Day and they didn’t come to the meeting.

Episode Quotes
Host: (opening narration) Maple Street, U.S.A. A suburban community on a pleasant Saturday afternoon. But in a few moments everything will change for the residents of Maple Street as they discover that the monsters they fear may already be among them.
Dylan: Nobody moves in the middle of the night.
Will: Maybe they moved from far away.
Dylan: Yeah, like...
Will: Like Iowa.
Will: Maybe they moved from far away.
Dylan: Yeah, like...
Will: Like Iowa.
Will: You want to fit in? With people like Phyllis who's afraid to do anything unless it's approved by a military committee, or Dylan who's afraid his sperm count will actually drop if he used his brain for five minutes?
Host: (closing narration) It isn't enough for a sole voice of reason to exist. In this time of uncertainty we're so sure that villains lurk around every corner that we will create them ourselves if we can't find them. For while fear may keep us vigilant, it's also fear that tears us apart. A fear that sadly exists only too often outside The Twilight Zone.
Analysis

The kid references Independence Day, is a movie about aliens invading Earth, who shut down the world's power.
