1	!! "Yes-Man"
2	The sisters get Lincoln, the Master of Persuasion, to teach them how to ask Mom and Dad for money.
3	* AintTooProudToBeg: Luna when asking for Lincoln's help. She even mentions the trope by name.
4	* AttendingYourOwnFuneral: Played with. As part of her act to convince her parents to give her cash, Lucy stages her own funeral. Later, Lincoln tries it too, with no success.
5	* BigCreepyCrawlies: The giant robotic bug from Lisa's virtual reality simulation.
6	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Leni, as usual. When Luna asks her and Lori who can "spot [her] some green", Leni begins to point out all the green objects in the room, not realizing that Luna was asking for money.
7	* ContinuityNod:
8	** Lincoln wears his grown-up suit again.
9	** This is the second time SMOOCH is an important part of the plot. Lincoln also mentioned how he's been to a SMOOCH concert before.
10	** This is the second time all the Loud sisters form a band together.
11	* ExactEavesDropping: Luna overhears Lincoln brag to his friends how he's the master of convincing, which prompts her to ask for his help.
12	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Due to Lincoln successfully teaching his sisters how they can ask their parents for money, they run out of it by the time he gets to ask them for some.
13	* {{Irony}}: Lincoln, the "master of convincing" who helped all his sisters get money from their parents, is ultimately the only one who fails to get the cash he needs.
14	* LoudOfWar: Lily's tactic to get money is just crying really, really loud. Later on, Lincoln tries this, to which Lily gives him a thumbs down.
15	* PuppyDogEyes: Lola and Lana use this trick when asking their parents for cash. Later, when his own tactics don't work, Lincoln tries the same thing, but it fails.
16	* StockScream: The Wilhelm scream plays when Luna slams the door on Lincoln at the beginning of the episode.
17	* TheUnFavourite: The other sisters beside Luna play this card on Lincoln for helping her out but not the rest.
18	* ThrowTheDogABone: The sisters realize they took advantage of Lincoln, and stage a performance to make it up, even getting SMOOCH in on the act.

21	!! "Friend or Faux?"
22	When Lisa gets her first kindergarten report card and finds out she's got an F in social skills, she must befriend Darcy Holmendollar to bring her grade up to an A.
23	* ADayInTheLimelight: Lisa is the star of this episode.
24	* ArtisticLicenseEducation: The kindergartners are given their first report cards without warning. In real life, most teachers are expected to let students know if they are having problems to avoid failing a subject. That's the whole point of progress reports.
25	* ContinuityNod:
26	** This isn't the first time Mr. Loud has played the cowbell.
27	** Mr. Loud's friend is one of the members of [[Recap/TheLoudHouseS2E5MakingTheGradeVantasticVoyage the former Royal Woods Mini Van Society]].
28	** This isn't the first time we see Lynn's friend from [[Recap/TheLoudHouseS2E7LockNLoudTheWholePicture her roller blade team]].
29	* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Lisa doesn't consider the fact that even after spending time with Darcy to get an A in social skills that Darcy would still want to be friends afterwards.
30	* DoubleTake: Lisa when reading her report card:
31	-->Let’s see: an A in science, An A in writing, An A in Math, An A in Physical Education, an A in Vocabulary, and an F in Social Skills. Perfect. [{{Beat}}] [[OhCrap Wait-what? An F!?]]
32	* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Lisa sees making a friend as an academic requirement in class, not realizing it's meant to help her develop relationships with others for its own sake.
33	* FriendshipTrinket: Darcy makes a friendship bracelet for Lisa, and offers to teach Lisa how to make one for her so they can be “bracelet-twins”.
34	* GalacticSuperpower: Lisa repeatedly mentions an interplanetary council, that she hopes to someday join as a representative of Earth. Whether said council actually exists already or if it's something that Lisa believes will be formed in the near future remains unknown.
35	* JerkassRealization: Lisa comes to realize she was mistreating Darcy.
36	* LiteralMinded: Lisa builds a robot as her first attempt at 'making a friend'. This does not work.
37	* NoSocialSkills: Lisa's problem.
38	* NotHelpingYourCase: After Lisa's teacher tells her that she flunk at social skills for not making a friend in class Lisa tells her that she see her classmates as co-workers or test subjects, only for her teacher to make a face that says, "That still doesn't change your grade."
39	* PasteEater: One of Lisa’s classmates is seen eating paste, hence why Lisa deems him unfit to be her potential friend.
40	* RightForTheWrongReasons: Darcy is technically correct that she and Lisa have cats. It's just that she misinterprets Lisa having a CAT scan machine, but Lisa really ''does'' have a cat: Cliff.
41	* RuleOfThree: Lisa sees three potential kids to befriend walk through the door. First the PasteEater Petey Wimple, then the biter Charlotte Yang, and finally Darcy, whom she chooses.
42	* SandInMyEyes: Inverted after Lisa returns the friendship bracelet:
43	-->''(Darcy starts to whimper)''
44	-->'''Lisa:''' ''(oblivious)'' What's wrong? Did some of the concentrated acid get in your eye?
45	-->'''Darcy:''' ''(crushed)'' NO! YOU HURT MY FEELINGS! ''(cries)''
46	* SecretHandShake: Lincoln and Clyde are shown to have one. First they high-five, then Clyde twirls, and they finish it off with a fist bump.
47	* ShoutOut: The title card image is a parody of the closing shot of several Toys "R" Us commercials from the 1980s. Even the music sounds similar to the store's famous theme song.
48	* TimeOut: Lisa is punished with this after making Darcy cry.
