Selfie Improvement

"Selfie Improvement" is the sixth episode of the third season and one-hundred-seventh episode of The Loud House.

Plot
When Carol Pingrey's photograph gets more "likes" on social media than Lori's, she tries to one up her.

Synopsis
In the living room, Lori and Leni are looking at their phones. Lori is pleased at the fact that her selfie photo has 100 likes. Suddenly, Leni informs Lori that Carol Pingrey's has a selfie has 101 likes. Lori is unhappy about this, since Carol has a reputation of one-upping Lori in nearly everything she does. Not wanting to be one-upped by Carol again, Lori makes it her mission to have a selfie that'll get more likes than Carol's.

First, Lori tries to take a selfie in the bathroom, but gets interrupted by Lana, who was making adjustments to the toilet. Later, Lori attempts to take a selfie outside, but runs into numerous problems with her siblings (with Lynn hitting her with a baseball, getting hit by Lily's dirty diaper when Lori refuses to change her, falling into a grave Lucy dug up and getting hit by Lincoln's helicopter). Needing a way to get her siblings out of the way, Lori tries to encourage the siblings into doing yard work, which causes the siblings to leave, not wanting to work. With the siblings finally gone, Lori manages to take a successful selfie. However, not long after posting it, Leni reveals that Carol released a selfie with a corgi in it. Not wanting to take the loss again, Lori tries to take a selfie with the pets. Despite getting mauled by them, Lori is satisfied with it (and got some help from Lola), until Leni reveals yet again that Carol posted another selfie, this time, hanging out with her friends at a café. Lori enlists Lincoln, Leni, and Luan into helping her with her café selfie, and manage to take a successful shot.

Suddenly, Leni reveals that Carol uploaded a selfie with her boyfriend on a picnic. With blind determination in her eyes, Lori calls up Bobby to meet her at a rest stop to have a picnic, despite having a dentist appointment at the same time. At the rest stop, Lori attempts to make the scene look romantic as possible, but when Bobby reveals that he had his wisdom teeth removed, Lori, touched that Bobby went through so much, decides to forget about upstaging Carol.

At the mall, Lori is trying to return the picnic stuff she bought, when suddenly, she sees Carol shopping. Suspicious, Lori walks up to Carol, and admits defeat, saying that she shouldn't be jealous that she's better than her. Carol, however, admits that she was actually jealous of Lori, since she thought she was better than her. Realizing that their constant bickering was all for nothing, Lori and Carol admit they're not as bad as they look, and decide to take a selfie together, highlighting their newfound friendship.

The next day, Leni reveals that two girls named Bianca and Sooyoung have taken a selfie that has more likes that Lori and Carol's. Carol immediately calls Lori, and they dwell on this, and prepare to up-stage against Bianca and Sooyoung.

Trivia

 * This is the first episode of the series to be directed by a female staff member, instead of Chris Savino or Kyle Marshall.
 * It is also the first ever episode to be directed, written, and storyboarded entirely by women.
 * This episode marks the return of Carol Pingrey, who hasn't appeared in an episode since the early Season 1 episode, "Picture Perfect".
 * This is also the first episode where she speaks.
 * Also, Carol's outfit is purple instead of blue in this episode.
 * This is the second time Lincoln and Lori share a title card together, with the first being "No Guts, No Glori".
 * This makes the second time Lori fell into one of Lucy's open graves, the first being in "Change of Heart".
 * Just like in "Change of Heart", Luna and Lisa are the only sisters that don't have dialogue throughout the entire episode.
 * Also, the scarf Clyde gave to Lori that first appeared on "Change of Heart" reappears again.
 * This is the twelfth time that the full episode premiered rather than airing the two parts of the episode separately. The other episodes to do this were "Left in the Dark"/"Get the Message", "Heavy Meddle"/"Making the Case", "Along Came a Sister"/"Chore and Peace", "Project Loud House"/"In Tents Debate", "The Sweet Spot"/"A Tale of Two Tables", "The Price of Admission"/"One Flu Over the Loud House", "ARGGH! You For Real?"/"Garage Banned", "Legends"/"Mall of Duty", "The Crying Dame"/"Anti-Social","Snow Way Down"/"Snow Way Out", and "Roadie to Nowhere"/"A Fridge Too Far".
 * Lori's social media username is shown to be "literally_lori".
 * This episode reveals that the Loud house and the Casagrande bodega are three hours apart.
 * If one were to notice, when Lori finished her conversation with Bobby, Leni's hair was seen sticking up, most likely because she was petrified on what fashion choices Lori told Bobby to wear.
 * This is the episode where Lori says "literally" the most times in a single episode, with a total of seven times.
 * This is the thirteenth episode where Lincoln is not the main focus. Instead, Lori is.
 * Lori, Leni and Carol were Bluebell Scouts when they were younger.
 * Lori mentions Chaz that he liked her tractor selfie, and appeared in a flashback at Lori's golf tournament.
 * Timeline:
 * After "Picture Perfect", because Lori and Carol become friends, and the scene where Carol beats Lori for homecoming queen is shown.
 * After "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos", because Bobby is shown living with his new family.
 * After "Out of the Picture", because Lola knows how to edit photos.
 * Moral: Don't try to upstage others.

Errors

 * Possible Plot Hole: In "Project Loud House", Lori claims that she picked out her dress for the homecoming dance, but in her flashback, she is wearing the dress Bobby got for her in "Cheater by the Dozen".
 * It could be possible that "Cheater by the Dozen" takes place before the homecoming dance, and that Lori changed her mind on the dress she was wearing.
 * Leni claims that Carol's coffee shop selfie got more likes than Lori's pet selfie, but Lori's selfie got 103 likes while Carol's was shown to only have 100.
 * When Lori and Carol take their selfie together, Carol's eyeshadow doesn't appear in the photo.
 * When Lucy gets dirt over Lori, Lori grumbles in anger.
 * However, she overlaps with the backyard.

Running Gags

 * Lori attempting to take a selfie that will overshadow Carol's.
 * Lori failing to take a selfie due to her siblings' interference.
 * Leni telling Lori about Carol's newest selfies.
 * Lori taking Leni's phone, and forgetting to give it back.
 * Carol's selfies having more likes than Lori's.
