History Recap / TheLoudHouseS2E3BabyStepsBrawlInTheFamily

* BrokenAesop: The idea of the episode is to let some conflicts settle by themselves without getting involved, which is technically right as Linc's attempts to settle the fighting prove more than futile. However, given that the sisters entire protocol results in them not allowing him to do anything simple in the house, such as watching TV or even letting him be in his room, all while going to outrageously stupid lengths just to keep the warring sisters apart without actually letting anyone solve anything, the whole point of the Aesop seems completely moot, since Lincoln’s life is being messed with and thus he has every valid reason to want to stop the fighting. Or another way: the sisters say that Lincoln shouldn't get involved in the sisters' fight, but by kicking him out of his room or stealing his sheet, they are necessarily involving him in the fight. Furthermore, the sisters keep telling Lincoln to stay out of it, yet those who aren’t fighting do every unfair thing just to stop the angry sisters from seeing each other, plus when Lincoln has Luna and Luan switch rooms with Lori and Leni, the former two go at it as to who had the dress first, meaning they just broke their own rules. In the end, the fighting only stops because Lori managed to trick Leni into wearing the dress on all days of the week that don’t end in Y, as in, not wear it at all. Meaning the whole ordeal was all for nothing and the whole system was a complete failure.

* AnAesop: Sometimes, it's best to let conflicts simmer down on their own. [[BrokenAesop That said, everything the sisters do to stop the fighting seems to contradict this, plus it’s hard for Lincoln to follow said lesson if his life is practically being taken over, even if his attempts to stop the fighting are poorly.]]

* CensorshipBySpelling: Clyde tries this when telling Lincoln he didn't need the cookies to calm Lola and Lana down. It fails since the twins understand what Clyde was saying and start fighting with Lincoln for the cookies.

'''Brawl in the Family:''' When Lori and Leni both buy identical dresses from the mall, a fight breaks out in the Loud House, and the Sister Fight Protocol is initiated.

** The parent's faces are hidden again, despite them being revealed in "11 Louds A Leapin'." It’s likely this episode was produced before the latter episode, in addition to being aired before.

* KarmaHoudini: Despite what's mentioned below, the Loud parents never even bother to punish the Loud sisters for their petty fighting, and just hid in their bedroom like cowards.

'''Brawl in the Family:''' When Lori and Leni both buy identical dresses from the mall, a fight breaks out in the Loud house thanks to Lincoln's loose lips, and the Sister Fight Protocol is initiated.

* FailedASpotCheck: The sisters repeatedly use Lincoln’s room and sheets as part of their system, but don’t seem to realise that they could easily use anyone’s room and sheets. Plus, they’d have to reach 3 earlier rooms just to get to Lincoln’s.

* TheJinx: Lincoln's attempts to help his sisters settle their quarrels end up making things a lot worse. In fact, Lisa credits him with resolving the entire fight by refusing to get involved any further. [[SayingTooMuch Mostly due to his big mouth spilling insulting secrets and making the girls mad again.]] Saying he truly helped the conflict by leaving the house and staying over at Clyde's, letting them sort it out by themselves.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In the end, the sisters are at it again when Lincoln lets slip more insults about them, attacking each other while Linc hides with his parents. Given the ordeal they put him through for the last two days, this may count as the girls' punishment.

** It is revealed that there's a sister fight protocol when two sisters get into a fight. However, no such protocol is featured in previous episodes when a similar incident occurs, most notably when Lucy and Lynn fight each other during the events of "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E6SoundOfSilenceSpaceInvader Space Invader]]". Likewise, it never gets brought up again in later episodes, save for the threat chart appearing in Season 3. The whole system is just there for this episode and afterwards, the show acts as if it never existed.

* IdiotBall: ''[[UpToEleven Every single character in the episode]]!'' ...Except for Clyde.

* AbsenteeActor: Lori is the only elder sister to appear, while all the younger sisters appear.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The instanty the fight protocol reaches its highest level, Lincoln realizes there's nothing he can do and is forced to bail the house to spend the night with Clyde.

* IAteWhat: Lincoln eats what he believes to be an "everything" bagel, but it turns out it's a plain bagel covered in lint, dog hair, and boogers.

* IdiotBall: ''[[UpToEleven Every single character in the episode]]!''

* BlindedByRage: The sisters throughout the whole episode, especially at the end, thanks to Linc insulting them by saying hidden secrets about each other. They spend far more time yelling at each other rather than bothering to solve anything.

** The parent's faces are hidden again, despite them being revealed in "11 Louds A Leapin'." It’s likely this episode was produced before the latter episode.

* DownerEnding: Lori and Leni finally stopped fighting over the same dress, but Lincoln inadvertently slips out of what his sisters think to one another, and the whole fight starts all over again. However, it may also count as LaserGuidedKarma for the sisters as they all beat each other to the point of near-death.

* EpicFail: Everything that happens really. From Lincoln’s attempts to stop the fighting, to the sisters’ choices of rooms, to the communication between everyone, to the parents’ “competency”, to the decisions everyone makes, to the girls’ final solution to stop all the fighting, to Lincoln’s promise to stay out of his sisters’ troubles. And the Sister Fight Protocol itself. [[UpToEleven Let’s just say the whole episode itself could be considered “Epic Fail of the Loud Family.”]]

* InsaneTrollLogic: The SFP effectively seems to run on this.
* {{Irony}}: The whole episode plays out with everyone knowing about the so-called protocol, yet somehow, Lincoln acts as if he’s never heard of it before. This, in spite of being the family’s middle child, along with the fact that he’s supposed to be the show’s main character who knows everything that happens in the house. To add insult to injury, Bobby knows of it as well, despite not even being part of the family!

** [[NeverMyFault Ironically, the girls don’t seem to realise that they too had a hand in things getting worse, as they keep using Lincoln’s possessions as part of the system, without bothering to think about using anything else, which sweeps Lincoln into the conflict more than once. Plus they never bothered to include or warn him in the first place.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Downplayed, but after spending the entire episode acting like violent maniacs and pushing Lincoln around to make the protocol work, the sisters, thanks to Linc’s slip of the tongue, turn on and pummel the heck out of each other, thus ruining the “protocol” and leaving the whole house a wreck, while Lincoln safely hides with the parents. It’s not impossible to say that the girls all had this coming for the hostility and craziness they had shown all weekend.

* PetTheDog: After spending the entire episode being useless cowards, Rita and Lynn.Sr let Lincoln bunk in with them in their room when the sisters are all attacking each other.

** The sisters for not bothering to inform their own brother of the Sister Fight Protocol, thinking it would be of no concern to him, although it is clearly interfering with their everyday life. And they continue to use his possessions as part of the procedure, even though they could easily use anyone else's room and bedsheets. Luna and Luan in particular, despite the rules of butting out, get involved in the conflict after Lincoln has them switch rooms with Lori and Leni. Lola and Lana do not think about the different zones properly, causing a collision, and the rest of the girls in general do not work as a team and bother to think anything through. And to top it off, the solution they come up with only works because of Leni's [[DumbBlonde ditziness]]. Lori would wear the dress on all days of the week ending in Y. In the end, the whole mess happens due to [[PoorCommunicationKills terrible communication]] and Insane Troll Logic. And in the end, when all has settled down, they don't even apologize or feel bad for any of the unnecessary craziness they caused all day.
