    Left in the Dark 
  • Lincoln's plan to get the TV to himself so he can watch the season finale to ARRGH!, of which primarily revolves around coming up with distractions for his sisters. Highlights include making a light show for Luna and filling Lynn's football with helium.
  • Later, outrunning all of them to get the remote.

    Heavy Meddle 
  • The girls, from Lori to Lisa, going into instant protective sister modes when they find out someone's bullying Lincoln (although they initially assume that the bully is a boy).
  • Lincoln giving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to his sisters for always meddling into his life.

    Making the Case 
  • What does Lincoln do to show his deepest regret over taping his sisters' embarrassing moments and posting them online? Make an equally embarrassing video of himself.

    Driving Miss Hazy 
  • While Leni taking it literally when Lori asks her to make her bed is just Leni being Leni, she builds an impressive fancy bed.

    No Guts, No Glori 
  • Lisa invents something that can clean rooms in seconds flat.

    The Sweet Spot 
  • Lisa figures out why the Sweet Spot is the best seat in a few seconds, whereas it took Lincoln months.

    Project Loud House 
  • Lincoln using his knowledge he has over his sisters' to make them get to to the car quicker. While his original diorama may have been destroyed, his innate knowledge over them is impressive.
  • Lincoln's sisters managing to pretend to be a life-sized diorama. None of them move a muscle. Not even Lily!

    Picture Perfect 
  • Lincoln presenting his parents with the original picture taken of himself and his sisters as an anniversary present, after having taken a second picture out of dissatisfaction with the old one due to his sisters' antics during the shot. He comes around and realizes just how much he loves them for who they are, and their parents choose to hang it over the mantle.

    Undie Pressure 
  • Lily successfully manages to win a bet for her sisters against Lincoln by not crying. Apparently she's less of a crybaby than Lincoln thought.
    • Not to sell the others short. Lola, Luna, Lincoln, and Lisa showed impressive impulse control, in particular compared to their other siblings. Without the outside stimuli of a British Accent contest and a unique stool sample they could have held out for quite a while longer. Lincoln was able to adapt through his weaknesses and Lola was able to resist looking at herself until she and Lincoln started getting into a pressure contest. Heck the fact that Lincoln only lost because Lily was too quiet and everyone forgot about her is worth noting.
  • Lola going out of her own way to order Lincoln his victory undies; even more impressive as she's a six-year old who knows how to file a mail order.

    Linc or Swim 
  • Lincoln kicks his sisters out of the pool he bought for himself when he becomes angry that their fun is not allowing him to enjoy it. His sisters elect to buy their own pool and what do they do when Lincoln comes out front? They invite him to join them; in a rare instance, the sisters are not bitter with their brother, as all of them would rather that they're all having fun together.
  • How does Lincoln return the favor? He invites everybody back into his pool when theirs is accidentally destroyed.

    Overnight Success 
  • Nickelodeon making history by introducing their very first same-sex married couple: Clyde's dads, that is.
    • Another awesomeness point? The show refuses to make a big deal about this, at The Reveal or after. Lincoln greets Clyde's dads the way any kid would greet their friend's parents and every time they appear, they act as the parents of their child with no special attention drawn to the fact they're both men. And the only time this becomes remotely relevant involves the Surprisingly Realistic Outcome that two men can't produce biological kids by themselves and have to adopt.

    Ties That Bind 
  • Mistakenly believing that their parents intend to kick Lincoln out of the house, the Loud sisters again rush to their brother's defense, staunchly refusing to let him get kicked out. Especially noteworthy as Lincoln had confessed to fantasizing about being an only child when under the impression that it was his sisters who were to be kicked out. Although they didn't appreciate this, they nonetheless continued to stand up for him, showing just how much they mean to each other for all their bickering.

    The Green House 
  • Among all the eco-friendly suggestions, it's surprising that Lisa reneged on his suggestion to her (using Lily's soiled diapers as biofuel), which even the Child Prodigy herself stated is genius.
  • After Lincoln has his Heel Realization, he peddles hard and long enough to power THE ENTIRE HOUSE FOR THE EVENING by himself. This is especially notable since the Loud House has such a massive eco footprint that he needs a ladder to show off the entire chart.

    Along Came a Sister 
  • All of Lincoln's sisters (minus Leni) going out of their way to help Lincoln protect his class' pet tarantula Frank from the exterminator when their Dad calls him in to kill it. The fact that he doesn't even have to ask them for this favor and that they insist on it shows just how much they care.
  • When Leni, who is terrified of spiders saves Frank from the exterminator and actually convinces him to back off, all to keep Lincoln from losing the trust of his classmates.

    Chore and Peace 
  • When Lisa's trash creation, Trashy, transforms into a giant, it easily takes a hold of both Lori and Lincoln. But after the kids decide to call off the strike, Lincoln (who is often seen as the weakest) manages to throw the much bigger Trashy, one that earlier manhandled him, to the street where the rest of the garbage is.

    It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House 
  • When the siblings finally find the hidden case with the money, Lincoln sees that it's locked. Leni of all people manages to unlock it with her hairpiece. The siblings are amazed, to say the least.
    • Before that, Lana digs up the box using only her bare hands.
    • And after that, Lola checks to see how much money there is. She just holds it up to her ear, flips the top, and accurately guesses that there is $500.
  • Mr. Loud actually giving his kids his $500 bonus from work as their reward for finally learning how to share the money they earn.

    Toads and Tiaras 
  • Lincoln's innate knowledge on beauty pageants, thanks to coaching Lola.
  • Lana trying, and eventually succeeding, at imitating Lola as she takes her place in the pageant. She actually remarks that she, the lover of all things dirty and gross, actually likes how she looks and feels in a dress!
  • Lana carrying her handyman tools inside her dress.
  • Also, Lana in a dress!
  • Lola's Slasher Smile when Lana fears what she'll do to her for impersonating her.
  • Lana finally deciding to be herself, capping off her performance with a noisemaking dance.

    Cover Girls 
  • Like in other episodes, all the kids show great teamwork during times when they work together. For here, both when all of the sisters sneak Lincoln back inside before the parents find out he missed curfew, and later when Lincoln's able to (mostly) cover for all of them by himself the next day. It only becomes impossible to handle when a outside problem, a call with Pop-Pop, crops up, and even then Lincoln manages to handle it for a time.

    Out on a Limo 
  • Lincoln and his sisters pelting Tetherby with mustard.

    A Novel Idea 
  • The dangers Lincoln braves through to recover the book his mom has been working on, including sitting on a girder above a construction site.
  • Lynn Sr.'s workplace has a doughnut machine and a zip line.

    April Fools Rules 
  • Lincoln enduring every single prank in the house to keep Ronnie Anne from suffering them. Ronnie Anne even flashes a cute, grateful smile for the effort even though she was involved in Luan's plot to draw him out.
    • In turn, Luan reveals Lincoln Taking the Bullet for Ronnie Anne was the successful result of her epic Batman Gambit prank: Call Ronnie Anne, tell her how much Lincoln "loves" April Fool's Day, which brings Ronnie Anne over, forcing Lincoln to come out of his barricaded room to trigger all the pranks that Ronnie Anne would've endured, and cap it off with a pie in Lincoln's face from Ronnie Anne herself except that Ronnie Anne turns the pie back on Luan as thanks to Lincoln for taking all those pranks for her.
  • The fact that, despite all of Lincoln's efforts, Luan still ends up managing to prank her entire family in the end (Leni having fallen for the kitchen signs and all the rest with the paint bomb in the van.)

    Cereal Offender 
  • Lincoln not only diffused his sisters' grocery store antics (at least initially), but uses frozen peas, a corncob pipe and "floating lobsters" to take down the bratty Expy who tried to make off with Lincoln's hard-earned box of Zombie Bran and gets the kid kicked out of the store to boot, claiming the box for himself. Do not get between Lincoln and his cereal.

    Roughin' It 
  • Lincoln managing to find ways to help him and Clyde survive in the woods. How? By remembering the things his sisters taught him:
    • Lucy Playing Possum when Lola tries to beat her up for getting her pageant gowns dirty; Lincoln does the same to protect him and Clyde from an angry bear.
    • Remembering Leni's penchant for functional fashions, designing leaf jackets with birch-bark lining keep him and Clyde warm.
    • Remembering Lisa's knowledge of moss always growing on the north side of trees to help them find their way back to the cottage.
    • Designing super-strong vines using the knot-tying methods Luna taught him, then having to use Lori's advice on mud packs to help soothe the poison ivy he used to make the vines.
    • Remembering Lynn's advice to lift with his knees and not his back, getting a heavy boulder out of the way of the path to the cottage.
    • Lincoln uses Lola's pageant method of achieving perfect balance to help him and Clyde safely cross an unstable log.

    The Waiting Game 
  • Lori showing nothing but absolute kindness to Lincoln for helping her get the job at the pizza arcade.
  • Also, Lincoln being the one to convince the manager to hire Lori.
  • Lincoln convincing the manager to let him fill in for Lori to make up for all the free stuff he forced out of her so that she would not miss her big dance, abandoning his chances to attend a popular kid's party in the process.
  • Lori showing up in full dress to thank Lincoln for saving her evening, capped off with the two hugging.

    One Of The Boys 

    One Flu Over the Loud House 
  • Lincoln really takes charge of the flu-free siblings, which is serious Character Development from his time in "No Guts, No Glori." He uses his zombie flick Genre Savvy to great effect; he has a contingency plan with Clyde in case of the flu bug popping up, pulls a Pretend We're Dead gambit to ward off the infected for a while, has a number of escape routes from the house thought out, barricades his infected parents so they can't escape, uses a tissue box as a proverbial flare to lure the infected Louds away, and even Taking the Bullet for Leni despite their disagreements about how to handle the flu pandemic...even though that last bit is downplayed due to Lincoln infecting Leni anyway.
    • Kudos to Lisa as well for being Crazy-Prepared enough to have specialized chicken-soup water guns handy to repel the infected Louds in order to make their escape.
