He's kind, he's fashionable, he's rocking, he's funny, he's tough, he's deep, he's friendly, he's smart. And most importantly, he's Lincoln Loud.

Roadie to Nowhere

• Luna and Chunk rocking together during the concert at the end of the episode.

White Hare

• Lincoln accepts his sisters' advice, and it works. And despite the fact that he made a fool of himself by missing the school bus, the new girl doesn't mock him for it like the other kids on the bus do.
• The You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech his sisters give him.

  Leni: Lincoln, you're perfect just the way you are!

  Lori: You're kind.

  Leni: You're fashionable!

  Luna: You're rockin'!

  Luan: You're funny!

  Lynn: You're tough.

  Lucy: You're deep.

  Lana & Lola: (while hugging him) You're friendly!

  Lisa: You're smart.

  Lily: You Yincoln Youd.^* "You're Lincoln Loud."

  Lori: Now just give me that jacket and go out there and just be you!

  • There's also one that's a Call-Back to "Back in Black"; this time around, when one of the Loud kids tries to change to impress a crush, the others take Lincoln's approach in the aforementioned episode: saying there's no need to change. The girls are even worried over Lincoln's total makeover.

Insta-Gran

• After a rough start, the Loud kids accept Myrtle as their new grandmother and even start calling her Gran-Gran, like she wanted.
• The fact that you can see in the trophy case in the background, and Lincoln's space now has more in it than just the trophy the girls made, including his contest winning comic.

Selfie Improvement

• The fact that Bobby, despite the fact that he's groggy from anesthesia, drove over to the picnic area where Lori was planning to take her selfies right after getting his wisdom teeth pulled. This makes her feel so guilty about ignoring him that she apologizes to him and decides to make the most of their time together.
  Lori: (tearing up) I can't believe you drove all this way, especially after what you've been through.
  Bobby: Babe, I would drive to the moon for you.

No Place Like Homeschool

• At the end of the episode, after Lola gets up to get ready to go back to regular school (after failing her weekly homeschool-test after helping her siblings getting ready for theirs), she's surprised to see the rest of her siblings (minus Lily) up as well, and Lincoln explains that he and the rest of their sisters are getting ready to go back to regular school. When Lola expresses confusion at this, her siblings go into greater detail:
  • Realizing that Lola has a much greater need to be homeschooled, Lincoln and the rest of the sisters explained the real reason why Lola failed her test to their parents, and Mr. and Mrs. Loud agreed to give Lola another chance so that she can continue being homeschooled during the main competition season for beauty pageants.
    • Lola's very touched by this and instigates a group hug with her siblings as part of thanking them for their sacrifice.

City Slickers

• Bobby comforting Lori after her disastrous first outing in the city.

Fandom Pains

• Lucy admitting that she liked Lori and Leni watching the show with her, and asks them to continue doing so even though their favorite character Tristan was killed off. In turn, Lori and Leni confess that even though Tristan was what got them interested in the show, they kept watching it afterwards because they enjoyed Lucy's company.

Rita Her Rights

• Feeling overwhelmed by her rambunctious family, Rita starts committing a series of small crimes to get sentenced to community service by cleaning up the park, which she uses as an excuse to get away from the house. After her latest crime nets her some jail time, the family goes to visit her in lock up, where Rita's arresting officer tells her to meet her at a predetermined spot for some more peace and quiet. The episode ends with her waking up late, and finding a note from Lynn Sr., saying that he would take the kids for the day so that she can have the house all to herself.

Head Poet's Anxiety

• The episode is just full of these for Lucy and Luan. Highlights include:
  • Luan comforting Lucy after the latter gets a rejection letter by explaining that it's a natural part of life in the arts, showing off all of her own rejection letters to prove it.
  • Luan actually making Lucy laugh with a couple of poetry puns after agreeing to tutor her.
  • After learning that Luan's dream is to be the youngest person to perform at the Royal Woods Theatre, Lucy is actually willing to pass up her own big chance in order to not destroy Luan's dream.
  • After finding out Lucy is willing to pass up her big chance in order to not destroy Luan's dream, Luan swallows up her jealousy and encourages her to do it, causing Lucy to actually hug her.
    • On the topic of her jealousy, while it's clear from the start that Luan is sour that Lucy will perform at the Theater before her, she tries to hide it (albeit badly, at least to the audience) so Lucy doesn't feel bad. She doesn't try to sabotage her either, like some others would have, and she doesn't snap at Lucy until the latter, oblivious to her state of mind, asked her several advices about her performance at the Theatre. And, even then, she doesn't do something like accusing her of stealing her dream. In fact, Lucy wouldn't even have known about her jealousy if Lincoln didn't tell her about Luan's dream.
  • Lucy's poem at the end about how about how grateful she is to Luan and how much she looks up to her.
  Dreams burnt to ash
  Hope tangled like laces
  Till love swept in
  With puns and funny faces
  Where my path will lead
  I can't be sure
  But if ever I'm lost
  I'll look up to her
• When the other siblings are pretending to heckle Lucy to give her a "thicker skin", Leni doesn't want to.
• After Lucy realized her poem about to death isn’t a good idea to read to senior citizens, she switches it to one dedicated to Pop-Pop. He and the others are very touched.

Gown and Out

• Lori doting on Lola when she believes Lola really is sick and thus unable to participate in the pageant.
• And then Lori and Lincoln teaming up to make Lola realize that pageants are about more than just winning, and encouraging her to continue.

House of Lies

• As misplaced as it was, Lisa's push to remove lying in the Loud House was because she genuinely thought lying was damaging the household. And when it's made painfully to her clear that the inability to lie is making things worse, she has her family assist her in destroying her lie detection equipment.

Game Boys

• In an odd sense, there's how the conflict of the episode kicks off: Clyde is afraid of letting Lincoln borrow his Snap for a day (primarily because of his sisters), but Clyde had already (reluctantly) let Lincoln borrow it. Because he's afraid of ruining his friendship with Lincoln by making Lincoln give it back, Clyde opts to hang out at the Loud House to keep an eye on it.
  • At the end of the episode, when Clyde is forced to admit the truth to Lincoln (after the Louds discover him hiding under the dining room table), Lincoln admits that while he would've been hurt initially by Clyde changing his mind, he wouldn't have minded giving it back anyway.
• Right as Clyde is about to leave with his Snap, Mr. Loud trips over Geo and accidentally throws a pizza at Clyde... only for Lincoln to take the blast for Clyde. And although a small bit of sauce got on the Snap, Clyde made a point to wait until he left to start worrying about it, for Lincoln's sake.

Sitting Bull

• Although it is quickly subverted due to receiving complaints from their clients after the fact, It is still touching when Lynn thanks her older sisters for her first babysitting job.
  • It is played much more straight later when the older four sisters come to a compromise with Lynn, realizing that her aggressive tactics work when it comes to controlling rowdier children like the Fox quintuplets.
• To make things up to her sisters, Lynn begs their former clients to re-hire them as their babysitters after having tried to steal them for herself earlier. After much persuasion, she succeeded.
• Thanks to Lynn's disciplinary tactics, the Fox parents are finally able to go out more often without fear of their kids getting out of control.
• The sisters feel genuinely guilty about setting Lynn up with the five most difficult children among their clients, and storm the house in makeshift armor ready to defend her if the situation calls for it. Luckily, Lynn had already figured out how to control their behavior by the time they showed up.

The Mad Scientist

• The flashbacks of Lori reading Lisa and Lily a bedtime story and Leni helping Lisa put her pyjamas on.

Deal Me Out

• Lincoln reveals that six years ago, when he was five, he met Clyde for the first time and Clyde was having a nosebleed because he was bumped into. Lincoln then used the cape he was wearing (it was Halloween and he was dressed as Ace Savvy) to sop up the blood. Then in other flashbacks, the boys bond over Ace Savvy.

Really Loud Music

• Lincoln and Clyde sing a song about their friendship; it's rather adorable.
• Leni and Chaz are an Official Couple; she even sings a love song for him!
• The family is less than pleased with Luna's Girliness Upgrade since they're fully aware this isn't the real her.
• When Luna ditches her new look and decides to be herself, Michelle and Doug try to pull the plug on her performance but Lynn and Lana are not having it at all and put the kibosh on the duo's attempted kibosh.

Everybody Loves Leni

• Leni does her darnedest to make time for all of her friends even as they become increasingly jealous of each other. It unfortunately leads to a lot of fighting between the two sides when they refuse to be civil with each other, but Leni's heart as always remains in the right place as she works to bring the two sides together.
• Leni deciding not to attend her favorite sale to avoid causing anymore fighting among her four friends. Although Leni's plans for the afternoon had been ruined by the constant fighting, it finally shocks her four friends back into reality and they all agree that their bickering is not worth losing a friend like Leni. They all come to her in person to apologize and promise to treat each other with respect, finally becoming genuine friends.
• Lori and Lincoln also deserve a mention, as they both do their best to support Leni as the fighting among her friends continues to boil over. When their constant arguing forces Leni to abandon her plans for the day and she instead stays home moping, Lori and Lincoln both tell her that she did nothing wrong and she should stand up for herself if they refused to respect her time. Luckily, Leni's friends come to their senses before this becomes necessary.
• Miguel and Leni both supporting Fiona during her date with Burger Guy at the mall. They both do their best to help Fiona through the date and encourage her to ignore any lingering feelings for her previous boyfriend, who had tried to interfere with her evening.
• Leni's friends finally putting aside their jealousy and getting along together at Leni's house, eating the best friends cake she baked for them the night before. Although Leni may have missed the sale, finally seeing her four best friends get along as they watch TV together more than makes up for it.

Middle Men

• While Lynn's advice to Lincoln and Clyde ended up making their first day of middle school harder, she clearly wanted to be a Cool Big Sis giving helpful advice and is also clearly devastated when the exact opposite occurs.
  • She is also genuinely happy for them both when her classmates come around and give the duo another chance, quickly making friends with the two of them. After fretting over their well-being for the entire day, Lynn realizes that Lincoln and Clyde are going to be just fine in their new school after all.

Jeers for Fears

• Chandler appearing to make a Heel–Face Turn at the end of the episode. Unlike his only other appearance, this time he actually appreciates what Lincoln and Clyde do for him and even invites the two to hang out with him and his friends after apologizing for his past behavior.

Tea Tale Heart

• After Lola requests to play with a beautiful porcelain doll that Lucy claims used to belong to their Great Grandma Harriet, Lucy declines the offer, especially with how fragile the doll is—however, Lucy explains that it is not because she doesn't trust Lola to be careful and it's mainly because of how crazy things can get in Lola and Lana's bedroom.
• After Lola confesses to Lucy that she took the doll anyway, then wrecked it and replaced it with a different doll to make it look identical to the original, Lola is (understandably) worried that Lucy is (justifiably) mad at her. But Lucy assures Lola that she's not mad—she appreciates Lola telling the truth about happened (also pointing out that Lola didn't wreck the original doll on purpose) and admits that she actually loves the original doll even more because it appears to be haunted (the original doll somehow kept returning to Lola after all of her attempts to get rid of it^note It later turns out that Lana was the one who kept returning it, as Lola kept trying to get rid of the doll in places that Lana happens to like visiting.).

The Loudest Thanksgiving

• After the Louds and Casagrandes get into a food fight to determine whose meal was better, Lori and Bobby run off to Flip's, the only place open on Thanksgiving. When they track them down, Lori and Bobby explain that if their families are going to fight over whom they will spend the holiday with, then they will spend the holiday by themselves. Flip, normally a cheap and conniving Con Man, has a Pet the Dog moment by saying they should alternate, and with that compromise, both families make peace, and spend the rest of the holiday in the gas station and it even brings Flip to tears.

Driving Ambition

• After Lori tells her parents that her future is ruined now, they tell her that's not the case: there will be plenty of options and college options for her, she's bound to find something for her.
• The fact that Lori wants to marry Bobby and have eleven children of her own with him. And it's implied that she wants more boys than her parents did because, as the eldest sister, she is observant enough to pick up that Lincoln does get bothered by being the only boy, and she'd rather not have any sons of her own go through the same problems.

Racing Hearts

• Lori and Leni being completely supportive of Luna's relationship with Sam. Lori even gives her some helpful advice when she starts to worry about how little she and Sam have in common.
• The ending of Luna and Sam's date. After the two of them fail to find anything they have in common, they have a genuinely good time baking, ending with a Relationship Upgrade.
  Luna: I know we don't have a lot in common... But, maybe we can discover new things we both like. You know, like... Together.
  Sam: I'd... really like that.

Stage Plight

• Luan and Benny sharing their first kiss at the end and completing the play as Romeo and Juliet is full-on adorable.
  • The moment leading up to the kiss qualifies as well. After Benny initially quits the play, believing that Luan wasn't comfortable around him, Luan tries to explain that she was just nervous about kissing him and that she really likes him, but is only able to do so through Mr. Coconuts. Benny's response? Bring out his own puppet, Mrs. Appleblossom, and have her reveal that his feelings were completely mutual.
• Mr. Coconuts and Mrs. Appleblossom seem to develop a relationship of their own.
