All of the Loud siblings are back, and they've brought Ronnie Anne along, to read three stories (two of which are about her), all by the author of Model Brother.
The first one, The Godsisters, opens on Lincoln being called a loser by a boy named Gregory at lunch, but he ignores it. The real sisters and Ronnie Anne think that Lincoln in the story should insult Gregory back and think of some insults to call him. Gregory asks Lincoln to pay him $100 for a "loser tax", and when Lincoln refuses, Gregory threatens Lincoln with a "knuckle sandwich" the next day, scaring him and prompting the real Lori and Lynn to report anyone who does that in real life.
In the story, Lincoln is nervous for the rest of the school day and goes to check his savings, only to find that he's spent them all on comics. He finds all his sisters, who have heard about the incident and want to help him. Lincoln wonders if Lucy is planning his funeral, so the real Lucy eerily implies that she would kill whoever threatens to beat him up. In the story, Lori hands Lincoln a hundred dollars, which Lincoln accepts, but the real Lori thinks isn't such a good idea, since Gregory might just change his mind.
In the fanfic, Lincoln goes to school to find Ronnie Anne beating up Gregory until he calls off the "loser tax". However, instead of paying his sisters back, he and Clyde decide to buy a video game with the money. However, when he gets home, the sisters have already heard about Ronnie Anne's actions, and they want the money back.
When the sisters find out about the game, the real Luan wonders why he didn't just wait to buy it. Lincoln explains that he likes to buy games as soon as he can before he gets spoiled, the price increases, or the game's creator gets cancelled due to saying something bigoted. He's about to list more reasons, but Lori and Luna interrupt. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne note that ordinarily, they'd try to cover it up.
The story sisters start yelling at Lincoln for not paying them back, which the real Lisa points out as unreasonable, since if Ronnie Anne hadn't interfered, they'd need to wait anyway, and each sister (with the exception of Lily) only needs eleven or twelve dollars each.
Lori's fanfic counterpart steals Lincoln's laptop and video game systems, then Lucy begins measuring him, claiming it's for a coffin and he'll die if he doesn't pay up, Lana has her pets steal his food, Luan makes a joke threatening to hit him with a baseball bat, Lisa takes some of his comic books for an experiment, and Lola decapitates his old rocking horse and threatens to do the same to Bun-Bun.
Fanfic Lincoln tries to trick Leni into thinking she owes him a hundred bucks, but it doesn't work, then Luna decides to make his room into her new studio and Lynn drags him into her and Lucy's room just to punch him in the eye. At this point, the real Lana points out that the story's versions of the sisters are being just as bad as Gregory.
In the story, Lincoln texts Ronnie Anne and she comes over. He gives her the game, tricking his sisters into thinking he bought it as a present. Everyone apologises and the sisters give Lincoln his stuff back and cut the debt in half. As it turns out, he never even wanted to give her the game, but she takes it anyway (which the real Lincoln thinks is fair) when he can't give her fifty dollars.
On the couch, Lori wonders who was in the wrong, and Luan decides that everybody was, with the exception of Lily and Ronnie Anne, prompting the real Lily and Ronnie Anne to fist bump.
The next story is titled Game Crashed. It begins with Lori and Lincoln about to spend the weekend with the Casagrandes, the former on a date and the latter at a convention with Ronnie Anne. When they arrive, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne go to the convention with Casey, Sameer, and Nikki and meet up with the famous preteen gamer Ricky Dawson.
Fanfic Ronnie Anne pantses Lincoln, so the real Lincoln asks how she'd feel if he pantsed her in front of Yoon Kwan, teasingly calling him "Yoon Kwan" and his band "12 is Twilight". In the story, everyone laughs at Lincoln, prompting him to yell at her for embarrassing him all the time and call her the worst human being he knows.
She leaves, crying a little, and Lincoln tries to talk to Ricky, but Ricky is mad at Lincoln for dissing Ronnie Anne. The rest of the gamers are mad at him too and prevent him from playing the games, and when he buys an Ace Savvy shirt, the salesman calls him a "miserable excuse for a human being".
After several more impolite vendors, Lincoln goes back to the apartment. He meets Casey, Sameer, and Nikki (who left when Ronnie Anne did) and they also leave, calling him a "creep". To make matters worse, Lori and Bobby have broken up because of the incident, so she refuses to drive him home. Then, his other sisters send him mean texts.
Lincoln goes into the Casagrandes' living room, but they're also angry with him and kick him out. The real Lincoln points out that he's essentially homeless, causing Luan to chide him for being serious when the reason they're there is to make jokes.
In the fanfic, Lincoln finds Ronnie Anne in the park, but not before being attacked by the cat gang. He apologises, but she refuses to forgive him or apologise for pantsing him, claiming he broke her heart. He eventually convinces her to forgive him, but only after she kicks him in the nuts.
The real Ronnie Anne feels down and asks Lincoln to hit her so they're even, but he refuses to give her more than a light punch, so Lola hits Ronnie Anne instead, and Lana hits Lola, prompting a chaotic round of hitting from everyone.
Afterwards, the sisters are all beat up, so Luna isn't feeling up to anything. Thankfully, Lincoln is able to heal her and the others just by changing the scene.
The next story, Fracture, begins with Lincoln reading, but Lola wants to play with him. When he ignores her, she takes Bun-Bun and runs off. Lincoln is somehow not able to outrun Lola (the real Lisa suggests that she has a sugar rush) and it starts a chase, which unfortunately ends in Lola falling downstairs.
She starts crying, and the other sisters arrive and ask her if she's OK. She can't move her arm, so Lori takes her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Lincoln is wracked with guilt and sits silently on the couch. He becomes even more guilty when Lola comes home and her arm is revealed to be broken.
He starts to imagine his sisters sending him to jail (and when the real Lincoln describes it as a "kangaroo court", Lana imagines a court with Australian animals) and then his older sisters drag him into the twins' room. There,everybody tells him that no one is mad, and Lola plans to sign up for an injury pageant.
With all the stories over, Ronnie Anne notes that the first two stories put Lincoln through the wringer, but she'd never do that. Then, they hug and stick teasing post-it notes to each other's backs.
This episode provides examples of
- Adaptational Jerkass:
- While the sisters probably would get mad at Lincoln for not paying up, they probably wouldn't behave like they did in The Godsisters, whereupon they steal his possessions (Lori), make threats of bodily harm (Lucy, Luan, and Lynn), have his food taken away (Lana), threaten to destroy his property (Lola and Lisa), kick him out of his room (Luna), and attack him in some way (Leni and Lynn).
- Everybody in Game Crashed— Lincoln calls Ronnie Anne the worst human he knows, then as punishment Lori abandons him in GLC, the other sisters leave him mean texts (and in Lucy's case, disown him), the Casagrandes kick him out of their apartment leaving him essentially homeless, and Ronnie Anne (who'd pantsed him in front of his idol) kicks him in the crotch.

- Artistic License – Biology: Lisa mentions sugar rushes, which don't exist in real life.

- Big Ball of Violence: When all the Loud siblings and Ronnie Anne are hitting one another, it degenerates into what's described as a "dust cloud of violence".
