Season 6: Episode 130: Denise Kendall: Babysitter
While visiting the Huxtables, Sondra and Elvin discuss how exhausting it is to care for the twins. Denise believes that they are exaggerating, and doesn't think that looking after two babies is any harder than taking care of one child. Sondra and Elvin ask her to babysit that night so that they can go to a movie. Olivia agrees to help her. Denise criticizes Sondra and Elvin for serving processed foods and using a videotape to calm the twins. She brings her own food to fix the kids' dinner. She soon has her hands full as the twins run amok and cry constantly. Denise finally resorts to putting in the video, as it really is the only thing that quiets the kids. Just when things seem to have settled down, the power goes out. A weird hippie neighbor offers candles, but Denise doesn't let him into the apartment. Denise forgets the specifics about Winnie's food allergy, and has thrown away the number where Sondra and Elvin can be reached. Olivia saves her by suggesting she call Clair about the allergy. When the power returns, all of the appliances that Denise was using shoot food everywhere. Sondra and Elvin return to find the apartment in chaos. Everyone goes to the Huxtable house for the night after another blackout hits the area. Meanwhile, Rudy and Vanessa torment Cliff about his gray hair.
