It's time for another episode of Peeking Through the Fourth Wall. This time, Lincoln and Lisa have brought along Lori, Lynn, and Lana. They're going to be reading "Bad Blood"... but no one is permitted to make any references.
The fanfic begins with Lincoln trying to draw manga and the grammar is pretty bad, but English isn't the author's first language (he's Polish) so Lisa decides to let it slide. Lynn enters, spots Lincoln's manga, critiques it, and decides to use it to wrap her subs in.
The fanfic versions of the siblings set off for school... except for Lori, who's inexplicably graduated, and at recess, Lincoln sees his manga in the trash. He runs into Lynn's class (because apparently they go to the same school now) and tells her off and "drowns" her homework in a conveniently-placed bucket of water.
When they arrive home from school, they're both still mad: Lincoln about the drawings and Lynn about getting an F as the result of her destroyed homework. They then start wrestling. Leni wonders if she should intervene, but Lori thinks they should follow the "Sister Fight Protocol" seen in "Brawl of the Family". This prompts the real Lincoln to start tearing the Sister Fight Protocol's logic apart, to the point where even the author himself gives up due to "doctor's orders".
Fanfic Lynn and Lincoln continue to fight and she goes to leave, but he comes back and they start using impromptu weapons: fireplace ash, a shovel, and a photo. Luan enters and makes a nonsensical joke. The fight continues, and then the real Lincoln and Lynn start arguing, only for Lori and Lana to interrupt them and (in Lori's case) sternly tell them not to act like their fanfiction counterparts.
In the fanfic, the fight continues and Lincoln and Lynn pay no attention to Luan. Luna also tries to intervene, but the two fighting siblings rudely berate her for "butting in" and send her falling downstairs. Meanwhile, Luan is still in pain and Lynn and Lincoln, still fighting, have inadvertently set some chocolate on fire, much to the dismay of Lana. Leni eventually sends the fighting siblings outside so they're less destructive.
Fanfic Lincoln and Lynn continue to fight outside, much to the ire of Mr. Grouse and Lucy, who ends up being used as a human shield. An energy drink van drives past and a box of drinks falls out, so Lincoln and Lynn drink them to get stronger. Meanwhile, the sisters are watching them and decide it's finally time to intervene, so Lisa squirts them with sleeping potion.
They end up being taken to the hospital where their parents chew them out, but they're still mad at each other. Then, the rest of their sisters wax philosophical about it. The end.
On the couch, Lincoln and Lynn promise that, although fighting is what brothers and sisters do, they will never have a fight that extreme.
This episode provides examples of

- Does Not Like Spam: Fanfic Lincoln thinks Lynn's subs are disgusting.
- Downer Ending: The fanfic ends with Lincoln and Lynn in the hospital, still holding their grudges, and being severely punished for it, while their sisters sit sadly in Lori and Leni's room.

- Human Shield: Fanfic Lynn ends up using Lucy as a shield, much to the shock of the real Lynn.
- Idiot Ball: Referenced when Lisa and even Lincoln himself point out how dumb he was in "Brawl in the Family" thinking that telling Lori Leni compared her looks to Aunt Ruth would make her stop being mad at her, then when Lincoln points out the ludicrousness of Lori cooling off in his room when she can drive.
- I Have No Son!: Fanfic Lynn declares she has no brother in the hospital.
- Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: Fanfic Lincoln and Lynn's fight ends up online, embarrassing them.

- "Not So Different" Remark: In response to the aforementioned Eye Scream:Lynn: "Eye gouging? Sheesh, Lincoln, you're just as much of a rudo as I am."
- Out of Character:
- While Lincoln and Lynn getting into a physical fight isn't strictly out of character (the Loud siblings have cartoony Big Ball of Violence type fights a lot), they wouldn't fight as roughly or as long as they did in the fanfic.
- Lori and Leni (especially Lori) would probably intervene if Lincoln and Lynn were being as violent as they were in the fanfic, "Brawl in the Family" notwithstanding), rather than just stand there like they did in the fanfic.
- Pass the Popcorn: Discussed when Lynn mentions that if Mr. Grouse saw her and Lincoln fighting, he'd probably watch them with a bucket of popcorn.

- Shout-Out:
- Lisa (ironically) calls fanfic Lincoln "Holmes".
- When the author pretends to break down as part of his diss at "Brawl in the Family", he sings "Daisy, Daisy".
- Lincoln uses "Aesop" as a noun, meaning he made a reference to either This Very Wiki or Aesop's Fables.
- Staircase Tumble: Fanfic Luna is sent falling downstairs from Lynn's kick and ends up getting "damaged".
- Take That!: Lori points out that the fanfic shares its name with a Taylor Swift song, but says that anyone who sings it is going to get smacked. Everyone else agrees.
