Synopsis
As the story begins, Lincoln is heading to the couch, but is surprised to see that the living room is empty. He then walks towards the kitchen, only to find Luna guarding the entrance. She tells him that Lori is in the kitchen cooling after a fight she had with Leni, and won't let him in. Lincoln insists on going in, as he's hungry, but Lisa tells him that she found something under the sofa cushions. She hands him a bagel, but as Lincoln takes a bite of it, she informs him that it is covered in lint, dog hair, and a booger. He runs upstairs, only to find Lana guarding the bathroom. She tells him that Leni is in the bathroom cooling off, and that he can use a bucket to throw up in, which he reluctantly agrees to. Later on, he wants to watch a Monster Truck rally on TV, but Lynn, Lucy, and Lola won't let him, as it would only provoke Lori and Leni. Lincoln asks what their fight is about, and they finally tell him that they both bought the same dress, and are upset at each other for it. Lincoln is flabbergasted at the two of them fighting over such a petty thing, but his sisters tell him that it's a sister thing, and that they have a sister protocol, and that he should stay out of it.

Lincoln can no longer stand what Lori and Leni's fighting is causing, so he decides to try and help them make peace. He goes into their room, only for them to be sitting their perfectly fine, and they both try to tell him that he doesn't need to try and help them resolve it, as it's been resolved. Unfortunately, he doesn't listen, and causes them to fight again, when he reveals what they both say about each other behind their backs. This makes Lori and Leni even angrier at each other, and the other sisters chastise Lincoln for making their fight even worse. Lisa pulls out her threat level chart for fights, and they walk off, and tell Lincoln to let them handle it. Later on, Lincoln's room is being used to allow either Lori or Leni to temporarily house them, while the other passes by the upstairs hall. At dinner time it only gets worse, when they have to dine with Lori and Leni separately, so that neither of them thinks the family is siding with one or the other. Things get even worse when Lincoln's bed sheets and blanket are gone, so that they can be used as a divider in between Lori and Leni. Lincoln tries to help settle this again, which only worries the other sisters, and they try to tell him to just allow sister fight protocol to settle this. He says to forget sister fight protocol, and insists that Leni sleep in Luna and Luan's room, while Luna sleeps in Lori and Leni's room for the night. They agree to this, but the other sisters are upset with Lincoln for intervening, and even Lily chastises him for it. However, Lincoln insists that this will be sorted out in the morning.

The following morning, Lincoln awakens to thinking that everything is back to normal, only to hear Luna and Luan fighting. They both argue over whether it was Lori or Leni who was right to be mad at the other, and it leads to them insulting each other. Now sister fight protocol has to be used to separate the two of them, and once again Lincoln's room is used as a spot to temporarily house one of them. Lisa tells Lincoln that the fight has escalated even worse on her chart, and this causes Lynn Sr. to panic, as he and Rita lock themselves in their room with Lily. They continue with their protocol of keeping the fighting siblings separate from each other, but when Lola and Lana accidentally cross paths with Luna and Luan, this causes them to start fighting as well. Bobby comes by to deliver pizzas to the family, but he delivers one to their parents through their bedroom window, and they advise him to leave the rest on the porch, and run off, as soon as he rings the doorbell. Later on, Lynn is eating pizza, while Lucy chastises her for slacking on the job, and this leads to the two of them also getting into an argument. Lisa is now frightened as the chart is at the highest level of disaster, and Lana angrily bites into it, which causes Lisa to start fighting as well. Lincoln is now unsure about what to do, and decides to flee the house for the day.

Later on, Lincoln is at Clyde's house explaining his dilemma, and Clyde is listening to him, as if he were a therapist. Lincoln explains that the sister fight protocol only makes everything worse, and if they allowed him to help, it would fix things. The following morning, he returns home to try and fix the problem, but everything is quiet. He opens the front door to find his sisters sitting peacefully in the living room, and they explain that they resolved everything themselves, thanks to him leaving. They explain that their sister fight protocol works, and that he should never butt in. He finally agrees to this, but thanks to his honest truth, he reveals more things that the sisters say behind each other's backs, and they start to fight once again. Lynn Sr. comes out of his bedroom thinking it's over, but the sisters are fighting again, and this time, Lincoln hides in his parent's bedroom with them, to avoid the sisters brutality, as the episode ends.
