Look I'd like to move on alright, I really would. I just can't stomach how cruel and OOC this episode is, because the show is all about the family being together no matter what differences occur and because, for crying out loud, Lincoln gets REJECTED by his own beloved flesh and blood!! Something the Louds have never, ever done, until March 2017..... Plus given that Ties that Bind firmly establishes that the family are always there for each other and would never get rid of one another....

If the show was to explain how Lincoln got rid of the costume and got his stuff back, than I'd move on, but the ending just destroyed the whole concept of 'life is chaos, but they'll always be there for each other'. Even Brawl in the Family didn't seem this cruel.

Bad luck, philistine, hypocrite, dishonest liar, bike thief or anything, Lincoln is still a wanted family member that the sisters love no matter what and what does NSL do? Throw all that down the drain!! Plus what would Clyde, Bobby, Ronnie Anne, Howard, Harold, Mrs Johnson, Pop Pop, Rusty, Liam and Zach all say if they ever heard of such events? If the episode were done right, Lincoln would either be locked in his room, in the basement, or the attic and not allowed to come to activities and than get grounded when he confesses to faking bad luck. The parents and Lisa should never act so gullible and stupid.

I know what you all say, there's no continuity, but there's just some things in this episode, cartoon logic just can't excuse. How does the ending show Lincoln being loved again? The Louds aren't Family Guy Jr! Episodes like this should not exist!! Not without a proper happy ending, or some logic anyway.

If you all want me to be honest, I don't hate it with passion, I just find it heartbreaking, depressing and teary. I'd say the only way to Silence this hate and controversy is that Nickelodeon does something about NSL, edit it, change it, remove it, apologize for it, make a short sequel, anything!!
