This episode I liked slightly less than the previous episode (which I don't find great, but passable). In it, Albert introduces his new girlfriend to the family. At first, Myrtle comes off as being very enjoyable to be around what with her knowing extensive knowledge on the family, or how she shwos approval for their interests. However, she soon becomes overbearing, so the kids decide to break the two up.

Going into it, I didn't really like Myrtle. At first, I felt that there was something off putting about her, I just couldn't get my finger on it. Later on, she began to become obnoxious by making herself unnanounced in the Loud family household. However, we eventually learn that the only reason as to why she acts that way is because she doesn't come from a large family, or at the very least have anyone she could spend time with. This does slightly redeem her in my eyes as I do understand that when someone is lonely they would overdo their excitment towards finding someone to bond with, so she does narrowly avoid being a disliked character for me. I don't have much issue with the conflict of the episode either. I do get that it was bad for the Loud kids to try to break Albert and Myrtle up, but it is understandable. At the very least, they realize that they were in the wrong and try to make up for it, even though it nearly results in Albert beating up one of the residents of the nursing home. Overall, a "meh" episode. It had some good parts, but other than that, it's a skip. Final score: 3 stars out of 5
