"Write and Wrong"
- Captain Oblivious: Leni is really out of it when trying to maintain her composure at the restaurant in front of Rita's boss. She cheerfully waves at Jesse and says hi, which brings Jesse's attention to how the Loud children REALLY behave. And even when the rest of them try to pretend to be a different family, Leni still doesn't get it and is confused.
- Day in the Limelight: For Rita.
- Even the Dog Is Ashamed: The Loud pets all judgingly stare at Rita when she essentially bribes her children with a buffet to act perfect.
- Facepalm: Rita, who is hiding from her boss during the restaurant, does this when Leni unintentionally blows her cover.
- My God, What Have I Done?: While Rita is explaining to Jesse how being a parent to her 11 children is very hard, said children exchange guilty looks over being so stressful to her.

- Strange Minds Think Alike: Both Rita and Lincoln pretend to be related to Flip to prevent someone from thinking that Rita is related to the kids.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: When the Loud sisters are impressing Rita's new potential boss, most of them are wearing blouses with puffy sleeves, pleated skirts, and Mary Jane shoes. Luna, Lynn Jr, and Lana on the other hand are wearing formal shirts, shorts, and dress shoes much like Lincoln. Whether this is because they didn't want to wear such girly clothing or the store didn't have enough pairs for 10 girls in the family is unknown.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Rita says this word for word when she sees that none other than her own boss is in the restaurant and might view her family for whom they truly are.
