Synopsis
The story opens at The Loud House when Lincoln (holding an Ace Savvy comic and in his underpants) asks Lynn if she wants to read it with him, as Lynn tosses a basketball, she say no because of three reasons.....A) comics are boring, B) she tells him to put pants on, and C) ya later (last one was a joke), as she toss the ball at him. Downstairs, Lincoln is about to watch a DVD, when Luan walk up next to him with her dummy "Mr. Coconuts", he ask her if she wants to watch it with him. She uses Mr. Coconuts to say that science fiction stinks, and makes a joke out of it, as she walks away agreeing with Mr. Coconuts. He later comes to Lola, and shows her his coin collection, and the new coin he had just gotten. Lola just says it's lame, and asks him what was the point of the coins, if he wasn't going to spend it. Cuts to Lucy writing, and Lincoln ask her if she wants to ghost hunting with him. Lucy disagrees, asking why would she want to hunt her friends. In the kitchen, Lincoln asks Lana if she wants to try half of his "Peanut Butter and Sauerkraut Sandwich", Lana say she eats weird stuff, but she would not eat that, since it was disgusting. Lincoln plays a video game, and ask Leni (who is on her cell-phone) if she wants to join him. She says that video games rots his brain, as she tells Lincoln she was going to go read fashion magazines.

Lincoln says to the viewers that none of his sisters share any hobby of his, even Lily. Lincoln then gets an idea, he hands Lily a controller and she begins to play with it, much to her and Lincoln's delight, he claims that since she is a baby and basically like clay, he was going to mold her to be just like him. Clyde comes in and ask Lincoln if he wants to hang out with him, when Lincoln tells Clyde he had something important to do (which was "changing" the baby) Clyde ask himself what was more important than hanging out with him. Lincoln begins to shows Lily all the things that he loves, Lily then wants her blankie, but Lincoln takes it from her saying she doesn't need it anymore. Lincoln is shown doing all the various things that his sisters reject from earlier with Lily. It shows both of them doing more of Lincoln favorite things, while Clyde is in different places, watching them.

Back at The Loud House, Lincoln and Lily (who wear one of Lincoln shirts) are both shown playing video games, along with many piles with the various things that Lincoln likes around both of them, Lori ask what they're doing, Lincoln explains that since they don't like the stuff he likes, he's molding Lily to love the things he likes, much to the surprise of the girls. Lily wins the game, much to the confounded of Lincoln. Lincoln then reads Lily an Ace Savvy comic and tucks her into bed, kissing her in forehead for good night. The very next day, he finds Lily missing from her crib and he finds Lynn playing baseball with her.
