Party Fowl

Sergio is made to stay over at the Louds' during one of Carlos's lectures. However, conflict arises when Sergio refuses to hang out with the pets.

---

• Oh, Crap!: Sergio at the end when Lynn Sr. complains as to why there is pigeon poop in the basement.
• Spotting the Thread: Rosa catches on to Lola and Carl's switcheroo when Lola (disguised as Carl) calls the mercado van's seats "tacky".
• Too Dumb to Fool: Sergio tries to get Leni to let him in, telling her to open her window. However, she ends up foiling his plan by opening her closet instead.

Sleepless in Royal Woods

While trying to put Lily to sleep by taking her on a drive through the neighborhood, Rita witnesses a burglar stealing from Jean Juan's. When the police don't believe her story, she decides to investigate the crime herself.

---

• Adults Are Useless: The police do not believe Rita's claim about a thief stealing from Jean-Juan's, and when Rita tries to investigate the thief's crime spree, she's not exactly competent at it to the point that Lily is a better sleuth than she is (although in fairness, Rita is sleep-deprived, and Lily is heavily caffeinated).
• Borrowed Without Permission: When Lily questions Ms. Bernardo on all the stuff she stole, the latter replies that she intends to return them, and has done this sort of thing before.
• Cassandra Truth: The police don't believe Rita's claim about a thief stealing from Jean-Juan's, suggesting that Rita was hallucinating due to being sleep deprived (which, in all fairness, Rita was).
• Crying Wolf: The reason the police don't believe Rita. The policewoman explains that they receive erroneous reports from tried and confused mothers all the time, with one having mistaken a possum for a werewolf the night before.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick: Rita initiates the investigation of the thief's crime spree, but Lily is far more competent at sleuthing. Justified as Rita is sleep-deprived whereas Lily is heavily caffeinated.
• Mythology Gag: The idea of Rita taking Lily out for a drive to get her to sleep was previously established in The Really Loud House. This could be a Call-Forward because The Really Loud House establishes that taking Lily out for a drive as a common practice, while this episode implies that this is the first time Rita is doing this to Lily.
• Pajama-Clad Hero: Rita and Lily spend the entire episode in their jammies.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: Lily does this to convince Rita to chase the thief on horseback.
