Lincoln has all ten of his sisters and they talk about how they've reached episode twenty. Some of the sisters complain about various fanfic elements, and Luan makes another umbrella building gag. They are going to be reading Fury of Lincoln Loud, which Lucy likes the sound of.
It begins with a narrator who's saying that nobody, under any circumstances, should compare this story to Regular Show. The story proper begins with Lincoln exiting his parents' bedroom to find all of his sisters angry with him. He asks if they solved their conflict, and they reply that he's the cause of their problems, which causes the real Loud kids to joke about Lincoln being Satan, then point out that while Lincoln has screwed up before, so have the girls.
We're shown a list of times Lincoln screwed up (referencing canon episodes), which Lucy fast-forwards through. Fanfic Lincoln becomes angry and goes to walk away, making Lynn angry too and so he yells at her. Fanfic Rita and Lynn Sr. chastise Lincoln for yelling at his sisters. The real Lori and Lisa point out that they're either singling him out on purpose or are deaf to girls' meanness, as the girls get off scott free. The parents tell Lincoln to not interact with his sisters lest he lash out at them.
Fanfic Luna, as is typical of fanfic portrayals of Luna, is the first one to realise they're being bad. Fanfic Lincoln just berates her for not catching on sooner. The parents decide to make Lincoln's insulting Luna count as a "strike", and if he insults his sisters twice more, he's in big trouble.
Fanfic Lincoln goes off to Clyde's to try to be less angry. The real Lincoln asks Lisa why she's not correcting the grammar, and she explains that she's responding to viewers who have critiqued her corrections as being too "nettlesome". It hasn't been easy though— in fact, she blows something up to let off steam.
Fanfic Clyde suggests Lincoln try going for a walk or counting to ten. He starts to feel happy again, only to get angry upon finding Vanzilla scratched up and his sisters claim he did it. He tries counting to ten but it doesn't work and he yells anyway. The parents come down and, also thinking he's scratched up the van, declare that he's struck out.
In the story, Bobby and Ronnie Anne come over to visit, with the latter suggesting Lincoln to try counting again, but this time more than ten. They go to the park while counting (and the sisters act all matchmaker-y like they do whenever Ronnie Anne is involved). Counting works, but unfortunately he gets angry yet again. This time, it's because Lynn and the twins are dressing as him and mocking him by behaving like him, so he goes upstairs to his room. Fanfic Lola claims Lincoln picks his nose, which strikes up a conversation between the real Loud kids about nose-picking.
The sisters are curious about why fanfic Lincoln is counting, while Ronnie Anne is mad at Lynn and the twins. Fanfic Lincoln considers running away but Ronnie Anne convinces him not to, so he tries cooling down in the bathroom but it doesn't work. Fanfic Rita then sees the TV broken and assumes Lincoln did it. Lincoln points out that his fanfic counterpart didn't necessarily break the TV, and Lisa points out some hot button topics that the fanfic parents could also blame him for, but is put in time out.
Fanfic Lincoln, now "seeing bloody red" as the narrator puts it, yells very loudly, and Ronnie Anne chews the sisters out. The sisters wonder why he's been suppressing his emotions and fanfic Lisa suggests that the parents told him to and considers allowing him to yell as much as he wants to remedy the situation. The real Lisa then comes down, her timeout being over.
We get a list of the sisters' wrongdoings, another umbrella building joke, then fanfic Lincoln rips some of his hair out and bursts out yelling, much to the annoyance of the real Lincoln and intimidation of the real sisters. Then, fanfic Lincoln apologises and we get a flood of tears and apologies. Lynn reveals that she was the one who scratched Vanzilla and broke the TV.
The real Lincoln comes back and fanfic Ronnie Anne is thanked for her support. Then, it's revealed how fanfic Lynn did the damage: she got dirt on Vanzilla and scratched it using the wrong side of the sponge, then fell on the TV several times. Fanfic Lincoln goes to therapy and Mr. Grouse takes Lynn's football, the end.
Lincoln apologises for being annoyed earlier, but the sisters tell him he has no need to apologise. Lincoln adds that when stories paint them wrong, they should never question themselves. The Loud kids then add that the story did a lot of things wrong, like the non-Lincoln characters' meanness and stupidity and the park plot hole, but at least it had a sweet ending, good jokes, and sweet moments with Ronnie Anne. The girls then act affectionately towards Lincoln.
