Indeed.

The working title I have in mind is Where There's a Will. The basic premise is that Lori is in charge for the night. Now, I have two scenarios for the setup.

1. Before they leave, Lynn Sr. and Rita decide to show Lori their will in case anything happens to them.

2. Leni brings up the topic of wills when she recalls overhearing the term at the retirement home (of course, with Leni being Leni, she thinks Will is an actual person).

Whatever the case may be, Lori goes to sleep with this in mind. She then wakes up to a knock on the door. It is a police officer stating that Lynn Sr. and Rita have died, and it's stated in their will that Lori's in charge. Lori suddenly finds herself having to do everything. Not just looking after the house and her siblings, but also keeping the house and making sure her family survives. She can't even get Bobby to help her, even though he really wants to. He has his own family to worry about.

All of the siblings deal with the tragedy in their own ways. Lucy tries to contact their parents from beyond the grave, Luan's comedy becomes solely gallows humor, and the whole thing comes to a head when Lola, Lana, and Lisa all have a nightmare and they fight over who gets to sleep in Lori's bed. When Lori scolds them for this and says that she's sad too, they tell her that she can't be sad. Not because she's mean or that she craves the power, but because she's in charge. She has to be strong for all of them. She has to be the one to take care of them.

Of course, this all turns out to be a dream, as Lori is awakened by the doorbell (Lynn Sr. forgot his keys). It ends with Lori answering the door and hugging her parents, relieved that they're okay.
