We open on the couch, and Lincoln has brought all ten of his sisters again because, once again, they will be reading a story that a lot of people have requested. It's called Whipped. Will it make everyone cry like last time they did a request? Well, there's only one way to find out.
We open on the Louds going back from the campground and Lori has had fun. This must be set after the time Lincoln waited on them, since the only campground they've ever been to is Scratchy Bottom and that's the only time they had fun there. It is— and already, the sisters are acting strangely mean, with Lynn finding Lincoln getting chased by a bear funny and Lisa wanting him to wait on them again, even though he did it to make up for his past misdeeds and it was just a one-off.
As it turns out, fanfic Lincoln has fallen asleep in Vanzilla, so Luna and Leni carry him home and make a big show of what good sisters they are. Fanfic Lori and, to a lesser extent, the real Lori point out that even though it's good to be kind to Lincoln, there's no point in rubbing it in like that, and Lisa quotes a relevant Bible passage.
Fanfic Leni and Luna start to feel guilty for how they treated Lincoln (even though, as the real siblings point out, he was only doing it because he screwed up and he chose to do it) and they decide to take him for a shopping spree, since Leni just got her license. This frustrates the real Leni, who still can't drive.
Lincoln points out that he finds other places than the mall fun, and fanfic Lola teases Leni and Luna by saying, "The princes are back from kissing Sleeping Beauty!", which makes the real Luna wonder what being a boy is like. Lola claims that boys are gross, but she loves Lincoln anyway. The rest of the fanfic sisters continue to tease Leni and Luna.
Later, the kids are watching The Dream Boat except for Leni and Luna, who are unpacking, and Lincoln, who is still asleep. Then, the fanfic parents have to go for a few days because one of Ruth's cats is acting up at the vet after eating pudding, so the TV-watching sisters decide to wake up Lincoln and have him wait on them again.
Fanfic Luna and Leni are hanging out in Lincoln's room and complaining of their sisters' teasing of their being nice to him. Apparently, when Luna saved him from "hoodlum boys", Luan called her a "soccer mom" and Lori teased Leni for saving his life from attempted murderers.
The fanfic girls have a sister meeting and plan to deliberately clog the toilet and convince Lincoln that he did it, then use that to blackmail him into being their servant. Leni and Luna have reservations, but the other girls claim that if they tell the truth, they'll tell Lincoln that it was their idea to choose Aloha Beach and Dairyland respectively. They then put Lily in Lincoln's room.
The next morning, fanfic Lincoln wakes up and goes to the bathroom to find the toilet clogged and Lori claims he clogged it... with his pee, somehow. Thus, the plan is in action and Lincoln needs to wait on his sisters.
First, he needs to escort a frantic Fangs out of Lola's closet, then he needs to blow up Luan's whoopee cushions, clean the bathroom for Lori's date, and test Lisa's pill... that somehow turned his undigested food into an egg he poops out. He then needs to wrestle with Lynn, and reach a picture for Lucy.
Just then, the fanfic versions of Leni and Luna take the conch and take him out to the movies and the mall (bringing Lily along). The rest of the sisters get mad and, when they come back, they tell Lincoln the lie about whose idea was whose. He goes to confront Leni and Luna, making them cry... then, he finds a video tape in Lily's diaper that reveals the truth. Wait, what?! The Louds have so many questions, they make a game of it.
He goes into the bathroom where Leni and Luna are unclogging the toilet (because apparently in this fanfic, the Louds have superhuman bladders), Lincoln comes in and reveals the recording and it's revealed that Lily did it. Lincoln storms in and confronts the rest of the girls (including Lynn, who wants Lincoln to "clean her balls", hehe) and swear to show the video to their parents. Then, fanfic Leni and Luna sleep in Lincoln's room because they don't want to bunk with their roommates. Lily sleeps with them too (yup, four people in a linen closet!).
When the parents get back, they ground the sisters (except for the three who were innocent), who apologise... except Lynn. They then go to watch TV.
With the fanfic over, the sisters are understandably miffed with their portrayal, but there is an alternate version. Maybe that'll be better?
The alternate version begins with Lincoln walking to his room to sleep instead of being carried. Unfortunately for Lisa, the grammar is no better in this version. The good news is that the sisters who acted mean in the previous version are now in-character. The bad news is that now Leni and Luna have caught the "uncharacteristic meanness" bug. In fact, they're even worse! They hate boys, think they need to be pampered because they're girls, and hold a grudge for Lincoln's every mistake... and even a non-mistake (trying to get the girls to school on time).
Fanfic Leni and Luna try to go through with the same plan the others had in the previous version, but Lincoln heard them and tells them off. Then, the parents come and ground them. Then, fanfic Lincoln has a good time with his non-scheming sisters... but he seems to be playing favourites, preferring Lori, Lynn, Lola, and Lisa. Leni and Luna tearfully apologise and that's it.
Lily is angry that she wasn't in the alternate version, but her siblings reassure her that that's no reason to be angry. Then, it's revealed that the alternate version was made as a joke response to the criticism the author got. The Louds point out that the author likely missed the point, and they go off to have fun... together, as a family.
This episode provides examples of
- Adaptational Intelligence: Fanfic Lily is somehow smart enough to use a tape recorder.
- Adaptational Jerkass:
- All the fanfic sisters except Leni, Lily, and Luna are uncharacteristically mean, expecting Lincoln to continue to wait on them, not caring about Ruth and her cat (even though the real Loud kids find Ruth gross they'd probably at least care a little bit, especially about the cat), blocking their parents out, teasing Leni and Luna just for being nice to their brother, and, in Lynn's case, laughing at him being chased by a bear and not apologising even when her sisters did.
