"Apres
Hank, Le Deluge"
Episode KH808
Original Airdate: 3/21/04
Another day in South Arlen brings floods and chaos to the city. Hank,
being a certified evacuation leader, takes charge and sends the people
of South Arlen to Tom Landry Middle School where an evacuation area
has been set up. Hank stays behind to evacuate the neighborhood but
unfortunately he waits too long. The streets become flooded making
it harder for him to reach the shelter and he is stranded at the Tut
Rampy Dam.
Hank seeks refuge inside a deserted control room and regretfully
becomes the monitor of the dam when he answers the red emergency phone;
his new responsibility could change the future of S. Arlen forever.
Back at the shelter, the normally timid, and not-so-fearless Bill,
has taken on the role of EOC leader and he enjoys his newfound popularity
and sense of control. Hank finally makes his way to the shelter only
to be welcomed by a very unhappy crowd. The refugees from River Oaks
Drive have been given word that their homes are flooded, and Hank
is responsible for the disaster after having opened the flood-gates
to the dam.
Hank is exiled to a corner of the gym, while Bill relishes in his
fascist-like power. When the rain ends Bill is reluctant to relinquish
power, but is ultimately convinced by Hank to do so.
