No Guts, No Glori

"No Guts, No Glori" is the sixth episode of The Loud House.

Synopsis
Lori's tyranny as the babysitter prompts Lincoln and the rest of his sisters to plot a rebellion.

Plot
It's Friday night, and Mr. and Mrs. Loud are going out on a date. This is bad news for the Loud kids, since Lori is in charge and apparently takes glee in bossing them around; she won't let Luna rock out, Lana make mud pies, Leni talk on the phone or Lincoln play his new video game. Dressing up as a military drill sergeant, she instructs them that they will have a very boring evening, to which they obey.

Lincoln invites his other sisters to sneak into his room and suggests a plan to overthrow "The Queen of No". After distracting Lori, the others ambush and tie her to a chair. The other sisters vote for Lincoln to be their new babysitter and, despite her warning that Lincoln won't make a good leader and that the house will fall apart without her, they confine Lori to her room with Lola on guard duty.

However, Lori's warning proves to be true; in under five minutes, the kids mess up the house with their roughhousing and destructive antics. Lincoln attempts to get them to stop, but they refuse to so, derisively calling him Lori. Realizing that Lori is the only one who can stop the chaos, he tries to get Lola to release her, but she instead knocks him out with a golf club and ties him to a chair.

Upon using Geo to free himself, Lincoln makes his way into Lori's room through her window and begs her to help him. She refuses at first, but expects the help. The two make their way downstairs, and Lori uses glitter to distract Lola and the warning that Mom and Dad will be home in ten minutes to get the other sisters to cease their madness and clean up the house, and they have to do it fast, since she gets a call saying that they will be home really soon.

Under Lori's authority and through Luna's cleaning montage, the kids manage to clean the giant mess just as their parents get home. Lori joins Lincoln in playing his new game, both having learned that you can't say "No" all the time, and all is well until Dad notices his broken golf club.

 * Luan chases Leni with a fake spider which she would do again in "Along Came a Sister".
 * It's revealed that Lola really likes glitter.
 * It's revealed that when Lola is not wearing her pink gloves, her finger nails are painted pink.
 * This is the second episode to take place only at night, following "Left in the Dark".

Errors

 * When the Loud siblings were carrying Lori while she's tied up in the chair, her slip-ons are black instead of blue.
 * When Lori starts to laugh at Lincoln being left in charge her eyelid is her skin tone, not the color of her eye shadow.
