Recap / Peeking Through The Fourth Wall After Dark 3

Go To

We open on the couch, where the four eldest sisters are joined by Benny. They will be reading Diary of Luan Loud. No, not the one from the main series, that's Diary of *a* Loud, and not the one from two episodes ago, that's *Property* of Luan Loud.

We open on a narrator who likes puns, so it's probably Luan. She calls Luna's music stupid, prompting an argument between the real Luna and Luan. Fanfic Luan apparently told a joke when Luna broke her guitar, and it's revealed that unlike the real Luan, fanfic Luan usually fakes her laughter.

She goes on to look for joke material, and it's revealed that she doesn't even like the jokes she tells in canon and thinks they're too kid-friendly. Benny points out that not everything kid-friendly is lame, and we get a bit of confusion from Leni. Fanfic Luan reveals that the jokes she prefers are antisemitic and it's revealed that Benny is Jewish.

Fanfic Luan then gets even nastier, saying that she only pretends to love her family and be positive and assumes they're all faking it too. Later, it rains and fanfic Luan complains about congregating in the living room with her siblings and about being bored. She decides to entertain herself... by sneaking into the twins' room, breaking Lola's toy wand, and hiding it under Lana's bed.

Lola finds it, blames Lana, and the rest of the siblings try to get the twins to stop fighting, but Luan breaks Lana's lucky plunger and puts it next to Lola's bed. The twins start fist-fighting and it's revealed that fanfic Luan is a pedophile too, because she gets turned on by their fight. Not only that, but she's considering incest with Lincoln and apparently molested Luna when they were kids!

Afterwards, the fanfic version of the Loud family goes to church and out for breakfast. Lynn brings a basketball and it lands on the breakfast table, spraying Luan with orange juice and making a pancake land on Lucy's face. Fanfic Luan goes home and breaks Lynn's basketball, then starts to complain about her siblings.

It's revealed that she thinks most of their behaviour is a lie and finds Leni's dumbness annoying, wants Lisa dead, and hates Lucy's goth behaviour. Then, that night, fanfic Luan goes into Lincoln's room and rapes him. The real Luan is, understandably, on the verge of tears at this point.

Fanfic Lincoln is shook up from being raped but all Luan needs to do to get his trust back, apparently, is apologise. Then, fanfic Luan wonders if Luna and Chunk are a couple, grossing out both her and the real Luna. Fanfic Luan then explains that she tore up Lucy's notebook and adopted a kitten who she calls "Chaplin" in front of other people but "Hitler" in private... who she wants to kill.

Fanfic Lori figures out that Luan stole and destroyed her siblings' things, so Luan threatens to push her down the stairs. To be continued.

Fanfic Luna finds out that Luan has beef with Lori and Luan is in a grumpy mood. That night, she smears her own vaginal discharge on Luna's pillow, then masturbates. The next morning, fanfic Luan's family are starting to catch on that she's evil and she's getting mad, then that night she masturbates again, with Leni's hairbrush.

The next morning, fanfic Luan's family tries to help her, but she yells at them, then Lori reads Luan's diary, so when Lori's at the mall, Luan has sex with Bobby and films it. When fanfic Lori finds out, a fight breaks out and Luan is sent to an institute.

With the fanfic over, Benny kisses Luan on the cheek and everyone hugs.
