7
8	* TheBusCameBack: This is Stella's first appearance since "Be Stella My Heart".
9	* CatapultNightmare: How Lincoln wakes up after both of the {{Nightmare Sequence}}s.
10	* FailedASpotCheck: None of Lincoln's sisters notice that he's already in Vanzilla until he brings it to their attention.
11	* GreenAroundTheGills: Lynn, Lola, Luan, and Lisa get this when Lincoln pours maple syrup on his raw fish. Lincoln also gets this when he eats it.
12	* GymClassRopeClimb: Lincoln's class has to do this during gym. The first time, Lincoln bails out after one of the ropes breaks, like he always does. The second time, to demonstrate he has changed, he volunteers to go first and actually makes it to the top of the rope.
13	* HyperventilationBag: Clyde uses these again when Lincoln's new appearance and behavior makes him panic.
14	* LimitedWardrobe: Lampshaded when Lola mentions that Lincoln apparently takes so long to put on his signature orange polo everyday. It turns out that Lincoln has a closet full of them and has to make due with hand-me-downs in the attic in order to shake up his wardrobe.
15	* NightmareSequence: Lincoln has two. In the first one, his family and friends call him boring and predictable, followed by him suddenly growing old and losing his teeth. The second one has him on a stage, performing various stunts to impress his friends and family, but they keep saying that they've seen it before.
16	* PottyDance: Lincoln does this when he insists upon letting all his sisters use the bathroom first, so he won't be predictable.
17	* SanitySlippage: Clyde goes through one after seeing how much Lincoln keeps changing.
18	* ShoutOut: Some of the stunts Lincoln performs in his second nightmare look a lot like the things the Genie does during the song "Friend Like Me" in ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''.
19	* StealthPun: During the montage of Lincoln "shaking things up every day", one of the outfits he wears is the back half of a horse. In other words, he's being a real horse's ass.
20	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After Lincoln reaches the top of the rope, he slides down--and gets rope burn!
21	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Lincoln's second nightmare has Lincoln performing such freakish stunts as taking his head off, allowing his body to walk into his mouth, and conjuring a volcano--none of which the people watching find interesting.
22	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While it wasn't malicious by any means, everyone pointing out Lincoln's daily routine leads him to believe that they'll all find him predictable and boring, thus kickstarting the plot.

25	!!"Driving Ambition"
26	* ADayInTheLimelight: For Lori.
27	* GenerationXerox: One of Lori's imagine spots has her married with Bobby and also the mother of her own eleven kids.
28	* HeartBeatsOutOfChest: This happens to Lori, as well as Lola in a flashback.
29	* HollywoodGenetics: In Lori's first ImagineSpot, more than half of Lori's kids are blond, and all of them have light skin, despite them having a Latino father (Bobby) and a Caucasian mother (Lori).
30	* HouseHusband: Bobby has become one in Lori's first ImagineSpot.
31	* HydrantGeyser: When one of Lori's golf balls causes a golf cart to go out of control and crash into a fire hydrant, the hydrant immediately starts spraying water.
32	* ImagineSpot: Lori has two: one where she is accepted into college, has married Bobby, and has had eleven kids with him; and one where she didn't get accepted into college, broke up with Bobby, and ended up married to a lame-looking man.
33	* MadnessMantra: When Lori's PerformanceAnxiety kicks into overdrive, her relaxing phrase "Don't overthink it, relax and sink it" devolves into her repeating "Don't overthink it!" into a louder and more hysterical tone.
34	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: In Lori's first ImagineSpot, Lori is the working-mom Masculine Girl to Bobby's HouseHusband Feminine Boy.
35	* PerformanceAnxiety: Lori has this while golfing due to Coach Niblick, the Fairway University golf coach, coming to watch her match to determine whether she qualifies to join.
36	* RockersSmashGuitars: Parodied with Luna's flashback, where she smashes a harp in her signature rocker style (right after playing it beautifully).
37	* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: Metalhead Luna playing a harp in her flashback.
38	* SpiritualAntithesis: Can be seen as one for "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS2E8NoSuchLuckFrogWild No Such Luck]]". Once again, Lincoln offers to accompany one of his sisters at a sports event, in which she ends up losing her every match. Only this time the sister in question is Lori, a more rational character (well, emphasis on "[[OnlySaneByComparison more]]") than the [[TheFundamentalist fanatically]] [[SuperstitionEpisode superstitious]] Lynn, and who attributes her losing streak on her own poor performance rather than [[NeverMyFault on Lincoln like the latter]].
39	* ThrowTheDogABone: Lynn recalls how she won a basketball tournament, when "Net Gains" showed she never won one. Guess she finally earned in the second B in her FLIBBR.
