She didn't realise you need to flip off the little rubber stoppers covering the points before installing. I calmly explained this to her without making her cry. And then there was light.

You could be laughing your head off by now (Seriously it's genuinely brilliant, just remember it's kinda a parody show pretending to be a comedy show about a "real" horror/sci-fi show from the 1980s... its not, but that makes it even more genius!)
