A tristate blackout leaves Bitsy and Helen trapped in New Jersey — and forces the Tillerman family to see each other in a new light.

* IgnoredExpert: Despite Helen being a native of Weehawken, Bitsy ignores her advice on what direction they should take. This bites her in the butt when her competitors were able to get ahead of her and she tries to head towards the waterfront by following the sign instead of taking Helen's shortcut.

* PunBasedTitle: The song "W(h)ich Way" is said as the "witch way" and "which way".

-->'''Helen''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, good for you You didn't do a nice thing.]]
