Readers should now predict that Steve will no longer be in charge.

Explanation:

Written by Rod Serling, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" was an episode of the first season of the famous series "The Twilight Zone".

At this point, neighbors are already starting to suspect one another. They believe someone to be actually an alien after strange things begin to happen in the street. The voice of reason and natural leader so far has been Steve. However, once a radio he built is mentioned, things will most likely change. No one has ever seen the said radio, which makes neighbors suspect Steve has been communicating with aliens. From this point on, readers can change their initial prediction, realizing that Steve will no longer be in charge, especially after answering to the neighbors' inquiries with sarcasm.
