-->'''Lincoln:''' I'm so glad my sisters are nothing like my brothers, (Lynn comes back and pull down his pants) except for Lynn.

'''A Tattler's Tale:''' Lincoln and his sisters (minus Lola) have a "secrets club" where they confess to stuff that they're hiding from others (especially their parents) outside of each other. They refuse to let Lola join (due to her reputation as a tattletale), but when she somehow finds out their secrets anyway, she blackmails them into doing her bidding.

** You should accept your siblings for who they are, even if you're like Lincoln (and presumably Linka) and you have to deal with being the only son (or daughter) in your family.

** In all the dimensions shown, the male version of Lynn remains pretty much the same--in the dimension where Lincoln has ten brothers, he's basically just a harsher version of the female Lynn, while in the world with Linka Loud, he's more or less exactly the same JerkWithAHeartOfGold as his female self.
** In the dimension where the Loud siblings' genders are reversed, the brothers are just as [[BigBrotherInstinct caring and protective]] of their only sister as the sisters are of their only brother. During the episode, both groups even check up on Linka/Lincoln when they hear them scream in the middle of the night to make sure they're okay and comfort them from the nightmare that they had.

* MoralityChain: The Loud brothers are nothing but jerks to Lincoln in the first dimension, but in the dimension where Lincoln's a girl named Linka, the brothers are just as caring and protective of “her” as the real-life Loud sisters are with their brother.
* NoSympathy: When Lincoln injures himself, the loud brothers laugh instead with loni saying to walk it off.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Linka, who lives in a house with ten boys as an inversion to Lincoln's life with ten girls.

* VocalEvolution: Since Lincoln is now voiced by Collin Dean instead of Grant Palmer, his voice is back to the original high pitch it had been at the start of the series, albeit a little whinier.

* WhamLine: When Lincoln goes to another dimension and sees that he still has ten brothers, he initially assumes that he's still in the dimension where's the middle child of eleven sons--but when the brother start treating him nicely instead of bullying him like they did before, Lincoln gets confused and questions them on it, which causes Loni (Leni's male counterpart) to say this:

** Whatever dirt Lincoln manages to get from Lindsay to use against Lola.

!!"A Tattler's Tale"

* TakeOurWordForIt: Whatever Lola's secret is, it's apparently so bad that she'd rather take the blame for all the stuff her siblings did and risk getting grounded than having their parents (or anyone else) finding out about it.
* TakingTheHeat: To keep Lincoln and the rest of the sisters from revealing her secret (as well as to earn her siblings' trust), Lola goes to their parents and takes the blame for all the stuff that they were hiding from them.

* TheUnreveal: It's never revealed what Lola's big secret is--all we can gather is that it's really, ''really'' bad (judging from the reactions of Lincoln and his sisters).

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Lindsey Sweetwater, Lola's biggest pageant-rival. Judging by her win in the Little Miss Cutie Pie Pageant back in "Making the Case", as well has her descriptions to Lincoln, it's possible she was the girl all the way to the right.

** The first dimension Lincoln goes to shows him with ten brothers instead of ten sisters, making Lincoln the middle child of eleven sons.
** In the second dimension that Lincoln goes to, the sexes of himself and all ten sisters are the opposite...which means that ''Linka'' (Lincoln's female counterpart) is the middle child and only '''daughter''' of the eleven Loud-kids.

* CloseUpOnHead: When Lincoln finally escapes the brother dimension and ends up in his room, we are treated to several shots of his face before it's revealed he ended up in another genderswapped dimension where ''he'''s also genderbent, just before the reveal it was AllJustADream.

** In the dimension where the Loud siblings' genders are reversed, the brothers are just as [[BigBrotherInstinct caring and protective]] of their only sister as the sisters are with their only brother. During the episode, both groups even check up on Linka/Lincoln when they hear them scream in the middle of the night to make sure they're okay and comfort them from the nightmare that they had.

* WhamLine: When Lincoln goes to another dimension and sees that he still has ten brothers, he initially assumes that he's still in the dimension where's the middle child of eleven sons -- he then gets confused when they start treating him nicely instead of bullying him, until Loni (Leni's male counterpart) says this:

** In all the dimensions shown, Lynn remains pretty much the same--in the dimension where Lincoln has ten brothers, he's basically just a harsher version of the original female-Lynn and the male version Lynn in the world with Linka Loud is more or less exactly the same JerkWithAHeartOfGold as the female-Lynn.

** In all the dimensions shown, Lynn remains pretty much the same--in the dimension where Lincoln has ten brothers, he's basically just harsher version of the original female-Lynn and the male version of Lynn in the world with Linka Loud is more or less exactly the same JerkWithAHeartOfGold as the female-Lynn.

* WhamLine: When Lincoln goes to another dimension and sees that he still has ten brothers, he initially assumes that he's still in the dimension where's the middle child of eleven sons--he gets confused when they start treating him nicely instead of bullying him, but then Loni (Leni's male counterpart) says this:

* RealMenWearPink: Mr. Loud in the other dimension wears a pink sweater, due to being essentially a GenderFlip version of Mrs. Loud.
** Similarly, Lane (male Luan) and Lexx (male Lola) have elements of pink on their attire, but they're just as roughhousing as the rest of their brothers.

* BigBlackout: Luna's secret is that she caused a town-wide blackout due to overloading her amplifier.

* SecretKeeper: The whole point of the secret club is that the siblings share things they hide from their parents with each other to get it off their chests, with everyone keeping the secrets they hear the others tell safe.
