    Changing the Baby 
  • Even though none of his sisters were interested in taking part in whatever activity Lincoln suggested, it's still sweet that Lincoln wanted to spend some time with his sisters.
  • The montage of Lincoln spending the day with Lily. Even though he's trying to change her, it's still sweet to see a cute baby having fun with her older brother, and it's also revealed that they do naturally share some interests (like the peanut butter and sauerkraut).

    Sleuth or Consequences

    Along Came a Sister 
  • Lola calling Frank adorable. Maybe this spider's not too disgusting for her tastes.

    For Bros About to Rock

  • The next day, Ronnie Anne "breaks up" with Lincoln and slaps him in the face, but then lets him know with a note stuck on an ice bag, that she did it to stop the teasing Lincoln is getting. Said note even had a heart.

    Attention Deficit 
  • Lincoln experiencing what it's like to have undivided attention while with Clyde's dads.

  • Lincoln agreeing to let both Lynn and Luna experience this for themselves when he tells of his time with the McBrides.
  • As much of a handful as they may all be, all of the Loud sisters finally getting some attention to themselves in their time with the McBrides is quite sweet, as most of them have probably never had this luxury and the older sisters in particular not for many years. Lincoln realizes that he can't be mad about this as he realizes they all just want the same thing he does, and actually goes back home so that they can enjoy it.
  • Mr. and Mrs. Loud finally helping Lincoln with his volcano project, and offering a heartfelt apology that he had to wait so long for it.

    House Music 
  • Lincoln and the girls welcoming Luna back to the band even after how rotten she acted toward them.
    • And Luna apologizing for being a bonehead.
  • It turns out the bearded stranger Luna met was actually Mick Swagger himself (Though, to be fair, this wasn't really a shock.), and he commends Luna and Dad for their playing.
    • Mick's philosophy on rock n' roll. Its not about being the best, its about having fun.

    • Then immediately after Ronnie Anne pies Luan in the face instead of Lincoln, like Luan planned, Luan isn't even mad, especially when Ronnie Anne explains why she did it. The end of which puts a new spin on Luan's Prank-pocalyse. Aside from getting Lincoln with every prank she'd set up in the house, it implies that the entire thing was set up as a Secret Test of Character for Ronnie Anne. And clearly she passed.
      Luan: That girl's a keeper.

    Cereal Offender 
  • The girls' group Heel Realization that their hi-jinks and fighting not only cost Lincoln his favorite cereal, but got them kicked out of the store and also got Lincoln in trouble with Mrs. Loud. They get together, buy Lincoln the cereal and even act like the kids in the "Zombie Bran" commercial to cheer him up, all leading to a joyful Zombie Bran-fueled Food Fight among the siblings.
    • The smile Lori gives Lincoln when handing him his cereal. It really paints a Cool Big Sis picture for her.
  • Lily pushing a baby grocery cart is just heart-melting, if the siblings' reactions weren't enough. Even her "bonking" of Lincoln with her baby purse when she can't go shopping with him is adorable!

    Roughin' It 
  • Lincoln realizing that the things he learned spending time with his sisters actually helped him and Clyde survive, and happily joining them to watch TV at the end of the episode.

    The Waiting Game 
  • Lincoln giving up his chance to go to Chandler's party, and convincing the manager of the arcade to let him cover for Lori so she can still go the dance. The most heartwarming moment is no doubt when Lori drops by the arcade to thank him.
  • And Clyde in turn also giving up his chance to go to Chandler's party since he doesn’t consider it fair for Lincoln.
  • Also Lori's unconditional kindness towards Lincoln all throughout the episode, thanking him for getting her the job and allowing him in on her privileges earned at work. Even after he began to exploit this, she ultimately couldn't say no to him despite the risk involved. Such selflessness from Lori towards her younger brother is a rare sight to see, and Lincoln as noted above comes around to return the favor.

    The Loudest Yard 
  • After Lynn's identity is revealed; rather than be bothered by the fact that she's a girl, the football coach tells Lynn to take care of her sprained ankle so she can be on the team next year.

    Dance Dance Resolution 
  • Sure, it wasn’t necessary and they gave Lincoln a lot of trouble by not telling each other about it, but it was very sweet from Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Lucy to try and get their brother a date.
  • Clyde helping Lincoln through his four dates from a walkway above the dance floor, despite being terrified of heights. It just shows how good a friend he is.
    • Lincoln acknowledges it too:
      Lincoln: You're a true pal, Clyde.
  • Lincoln setting Clyde and the other three dateless boys up with his own dates so they too can enjoy the dance.
    • Clyde and Haiku bonding over the fact that they both have crushes on people who they can't be with. Clyde with Lori, who is dating Bobby, and Haiku on a 200 year old (most likely fictional) vampire.
  • After setting up his friends with his four dates, Lincoln joins Ronnie Anne at the arcade.

    A Fair to Remember

  • After Lincoln convinces Bobby to go back to Lori, she and Lincoln reconcile and she even calls him a great bro.
  • Lori thanks Clyde (indirectly, of course) for the "date" with the souvenir photos she took of them at the fair, a sweet Pet the Dog moment for Clyde...even if it does make him nosebleed and collapse again.

    One Of The Boys 

    A Tattler's Tale 
  • Lola taking the blame for all the things her siblings did, since, as it turns out, all she really wanted was to spend time with them and had initially assumed that blackmailing them was the way to do it.
    • And then Lola is finally let into the secret club. She even finds a way around her chronic tattling by, after the club meeting is over, telling all the secrets to her stuffed animals, noting "it's not like they can tell anyone else!"
  • It's pretty minor, but Mr. Grouse mocking Lincoln for wearing a tiara, sarcastically asking if he's entering a pageant, and then genuinely wishing him luck when he thinks he really is.

    Funny Business 
  • At Maggie's party, one of her friends hits a pinata. After he hits it, his lip quivers and he hugs the pinata. The kid was about to cry. He was sorry for hitting the pinata.
  • The ending. Luan, even after what happened, asks Lincoln if he still wants to be her assistant, and he agrees. Afterwards, Lincoln and Luan both share a laugh and enjoy the moment while falling over whoopee cushions.

    The Price of Admission 
  • While it is meant to be funny, there is something nice about Lori staying up when Lincoln asks for "girl advice." Compared to the other sisters mostly being irritated or tired through their scenes, Lori goes from initially dismissive to looking genuinely happy to talk with Lincoln about it (at least long enough to answer over 60 questions and still smile) before Bobby calls.

    One Flu Over the Loud House 
  • We really see Leni's Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold qualities shine here, showing nothing but concern and remembering(!) that the infected are still her siblings (and parents and pets) and just need warmth and care while they're sick, even having cough drops, tissues and germ masks handy so she could help nurse them all back to health.
  • And at the end of the episode, Clyde decides to take care of the entire family since even though they are infected, they are still human (although he takes an extra precaution by wearing a hazmat suit).

    Homespun 
  • The Loud siblings realizing how many good memories they have about the house, and when it seems the tornado has arrived, hugging each other as they expect the worst when the storm suddenly stops, the house surviving with barely any damage.
  • Lily's flashback (translated by Luan) going back to when the siblings repainted the house for their parents' anniversary. While the first time didn't fare so well... the second time ended up looking great, especially when Lily leads the kids in leaving their hand-prints on the side of the house (even done in their signature colors as a Call-Back to the intro). leading Lynn Loud, Sr. to declare:
    Mr. Loud: (tear-stricken) Best... anniversary gift... EVER!!!
