Change of Heart

"Change of Heart" is the eighty-fifth episode of The Loud House.

Plot
Clyde is desperate to learn how to act normal around Lori, so he enlists Leni's help.

Synopsis
As Lincoln sits in the dining room, reading a book while eating carrot sticks, there's a knock at the door. Lori walks downstairs while talking on the phone, and answers the door. It turns out to be Clyde, and upon seeing Lori, he suffers a massive nosebleed and passes out, unwittingly getting blood on her shoes. After Lori screams in horror due to this being the fourth time Clyde's done this to her, Lori wishes for Clyde to act completely normal. When Lori leaves, Clyde regains consciousness, and (appearently having heard Lori while passed out) wishes he too can act normal around Lori. After plugging Clyde's bleeding nostrils with a couple carrot sticks, he notices Leni talking to Mr. Grouse on how to control his anger after Charles took a dump on his yard again. Seeing Leni give Mr. Grouse advice that works, Lincoln gets an idea. Later, in the living room, Lincoln explains Clyde's dilemma to Leni, and Leni says that she knows exactly how to help Clyde.

Later, Lori cautiously comes downstairs, and asks Lincoln if Clyde's still around, because she fears that Clyde will ruin her last best pair of shoes with his nosebleeds. Lincoln states that Clyde will be fine, since he's with Leni. Lori looks in the dining room, and sees Clyde having a nice conversation with Leni. In the backyard, as Lori practices her golfing, she gets hit on by a Frisbee Lynn and Lana are playing with. When Lori goes to pick up her golf ball, he hears Clyde talking to Leni in his robotic voice. When Lori heads into the kitchen to get a snack, she sees Clyde and Leni having another conversation, when suddenly, Lynn and Lana's Frisbee flies in from the window, and hits Clyde squarely on his nose, causing his nose to start bleeding, and some of that blood splashes onto Leni's sandals. When Lori sees Clyde's blood on Leni's sandals, she believes that Clyde loves Leni now, and excitedly heads out to go shoe shopping.

Later, when Lori comes back from shoe shopping, Leni gets a call from Clyde, and Lori overhears their conversation. When she hears Leni call Clyde thoughtful for getting her shoe cleaning supplies, Lori looks over all of the gifts Clyde gave her, she admits that while she doesn't like Clyde's crush on her, he was always pretty thoughtful. As she reminisces of all the thoughtful things Clyde did for her, Lori realizes that what's happening is wrong, and wants Clyde to love her again.

Trivia

 * This is the sixth piece of Loud House media to depict Clyde on the title card, after "Deuces Wild!", "Two Boys and a Baby", "Roughin' It", "Baby Steps", and "Out of the Picture".
 * This is also the third episode where Clyde is the main focus, with the first two being "Baby Steps" and "Back Out There".
 * This is the first Season 2 episode where Leni has a big role.
 * This is the third episode where Lori talks about Carol (possibly Carol Pingrey) over the phone. The first was in "Spell It Out", and the second was in "Job Insecurity".
 * Mr. Grouse seems to be unaware of Alaska and Hawaii's existence, since he thinks that there are only 48 states in America.
 * Innuendo: When Lola heard Lori talking to herself in the bathroom, Lola, who was horrified at what she heard, remarks "I don't think I need to tinkle after all.", which seems to imply that she wet herself.
 * Moral: Don't jump to conclusions.
 * This is the fifth episode to present this moral, after "Ties That Bind", "Cheater by the Dozen", "Back Out There", and "Job Insecurity".
