NSL will always remain a thorn in the fandoms side I'm afraid, no matter how much Lincoln is to blame for spreading the bad luck rumor and thus turning his family against him. The episode wouldn't nearly be so bad if the writers chose to only have the sisters exclude Lincoln from activities he really wants to attend, and keep the parents out of it or in a more neutral position. Or else, at the very least,end the episode with the rest of the family also learning their lesson how foolish they acted because of their superstitions. But no; by the end of the episode they are still as superstitious as ever, and Lincoln is still suffering because of it despite the fact that, at this point, he has realized his own mistake and made up for it by proving he's not bad luck. Like I said in a previous post, that ending ruins the whole aesop the episode no doubt tried to teach, and instead makes it look like Lincoln wasted his time trying to fix his mistake since his family keeps treating him badly despite his best efforts.
