Don't You Fore-get About Me

With Lori about to attend college, Leni worries they won't be able to spend much time together.

Don't You Fore-get About Me

  • Accidental Misnaming: Leni keeps calling Coach Niblick "Coach Nibbles."
  • Bittersweet Ending: Leni accepts that Lori will be inevitably separated from her family after she graduates from high school, but she was able to reconcile with Lori after the latter wins her scholarship back, and Leni learns that she can still contact her.
  • Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin': None of Leni's attempts to get Lori in trouble work because they weren't against any actual rules. Asking for a cup of water only to take lemonade is fine since all students drink free. Stealing muffins didn't work due to being free pastry day.
  • Continuity Nod: Lori attending Fairway University and Coach Niblick from Driving Ambition is a major plot point.
  • Crossover: Following the launch of their own spinoff series, Ronnie Anne, Carlos, and Sergio make some appearances in this episode.
  • Day in the Limelight: For Leni.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Leni oddly pulls this off, for example, pretending a water hazard on the golf course is a swimming pool too small to fit in.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Leni succeeds in losing Lori's scholarship by pretending to be her and acting like an idiot. Later an unknowing Lori reveals that she talked Rita into giving them an unlimited texting plan so they can still talk to each other, meaning Leni's worries were unfounded and she sabotaged Lori for nothing.
  • Springtime for Hitler: Leni, to make Lori look unfit for college, disguises herself as Lori and attempts to break several rules, first by stealing food, which fails as the food was all free. She then tries to make Lori seem bad at golfing, only to accidentally get several hole-in-ones.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Lori is understandably upset when she finds out Leni got her internship revoked. Fortunately, she's able to get it back.


Tough Cookies

Lincoln and Clyde try to run a cookie business.

Tough Cookies

  • "Everybody Laughs" Ending: The episode ends with Lincoln, Clyde, Liam, Rusty, Zach, and Stella laughing, and then it cuts to Mr. Loud who is also laughing while stuck on the ceiling vent.
  • Hard Truth Aesop: Starting a new business isn't easy, as Lincoln and Clyde find out the hard way.
  • Imagine Spot: Lincoln and Clyde have one where they're the Cookie Kings of Royal Woods, complete with a secret lair and an anthropomorphic cookie working for them.
  • Powder Gag: When Liam's cow kicks up the conveyor belt to a speed impossible to match by the kids, their efforts wound up producing a large cloud of flour. When it disperses, everyone is caked in the stuff.
  • Running Gag: Stuff that Mr. Loud is holding getting stuck on the exhaust fan in the ceiling. This eventually happens to himself.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Stella, Rusty, Zach, and Liam ultimately quit the cookie-making business after their first attempt goes hilariously wrong.
  • Supreme Chef: Clyde proves to be an expert cookie maker.
  • Through His Stomach: A platonic version, as Principal Huggins hopes that he can appease Superintendent Chen by appealing to her Sweet Tooth with Clyde's cookies. As she's a notoriously critical woman whose palate can tell the difference between hand baked goods and store bought ones. It works and she completely forgets her issues with Principal Huggins.
  • Wingding Eyes: Nearly everyone who tries Lincoln and Clyde's cookies for the first time have fireworks in their eyes. Lincoln and Clyde get the classic dollar signs when they realize they could make a profit with their cookies.
