Dance, Dance Resolution

"Dance, Dance Resolution" is an episode of The Loud House.

Plot
It’s the Sadie Hawkins dance at school and Luna, Luan, Lynn and Lucy have accidentally landed Lincoln four dates.

Synopsis
Tonight is the Sadie Hawkins Dance, and Lincoln is trying to hide from Ronnie Anne. He explains that tonight there's going to be a 2-for-1 deal at the arcade, and he can't miss it. Lincoln hides from Ronnie Anne by hiding under a table where Zach, Liam, and Rusty Spokes are sitting. Ronnie Anne then enters the cafeteria, where she asks the three boys where Lincoln is. Lincoln barely manages to escape.

When Lincoln gets home, he is surrounded by his sisters, who eagerly ask him if Ronnie Anne asked him out to the Sadie Hawkins Dance, as Lori says is the most important event in a girl's life. Lincoln lies to them by saying that he waited for Ronnie Anne to ask him out, but she never came. The lie seems to have tricked the girls, and Lincoln claims that he got off scot-free.

Later that day, as Lincoln is about to leave to head to the arcade, Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Lucy tell Lincoln that they all found a date for him because they felt sorry for him. Lincoln is initially shocked, but then he comes clean and tells the truth to his four sisters. Once they find out about this, they sternly force Lincoln into going to the dance because if he doesn't, the four girls they got will be bummed.

At the dance, Lincoln attempts to date the four girls his sisters got him, while Clyde will supervise Lincoln on what to do. Lincoln's first date is Luna's friend, Tabby, an aspiring musician who speaks in a slight British accent. His second date is Luan's friend, Giggles, who attends clown school. His third date is Lucy's friend, Haiku, who is an upcoming poet. His fourth and last date is Lynn's friend, Polly Pain, a roller derby girl who tends to spin people around and slam them against the wall. Lincoln proves to be successful in dating the four girls without each one of them knowing about the other, while Clyde gets more and more sick from his fear of heights.

Lincoln and Clyde believe they have it that is until Ronnie Anne unexpectedly arrives, forcing Lincoln to hide again. Lincoln realizes that if Ronnie Anne finds him here, she'll be upset. But he comes up with a backup plan: he tells his friends to cover for him for his four dates while he tries to leave. Liam, Zach, Rusty Spokes, and Clyde seem to be doing a great job, getting along with the girls. As Lincoln attempts to leave, he bumps into numerous obstacles, which give away his hiding place. Mrs. Johnson, who is holding a raffle where the winner gets to have lunch in the Teacher's Lounge, announces the winner: Lincoln. Realizing that he got called on, he attempts to hide again, only to bump into Tabby, and the other girls. The girls are initially mad at him for deceiving them, but they openly admit that they had a better time with the boys who hung out with them. Lincoln says it's completely fine with them hanging out with his friends. Although Lincoln believes he didn't get into major trouble, Ronnie Anne appears behind him, where he confesses that he hid from her to avoid attending the dance. Ronnie Anne laughs at this, as she never wanted to go to the dance, but wanted to invite him to go to the arcade because of the 2-for-1 deal. Realizing that they both wanted to do the same thing all along, the two are on good terms again.

The Sadie Hawkins Dance is drawing near, and all the couples slow dance together, including Lincoln's friends and their dates. Lincoln asks Ronnie Anne if she would like to dance, and she agrees. The two are then seen at Gus' Games and Grub, where they play on the dance machine.

Trivia

 * Like "The Sweet Spot", Lily is the only Loud sibling to not appear in this segment.
 * This is the third time someone other than Lucy has a poem.
 * Polly Pain and Haiku are both voiced by the same voice actor, Georgie Kidder. Interestingly, their friends, Lynn and Lucy are also voiced by the same voice actor, Jessica DiCicco.
 * It is unknown on how the Loud sisters knew that Lincoln's girlfriend is Ronnie Anne. It could be possible that Lori told her other sisters about this after "Save the Date".

Goofs

 * In one scene, Luna is missing the paperclip earring on her right ear. This goof occurred in a previous segment: "For Bros About to Rock".
 * When Lynn talked with Lincoln, she was much shorter than how she really is.
 * When Giggles says she's having a great time with Zach, the closed captioning on Nick.com says "Beck" instead of "Zach".
 * In "Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru" Liam has a girlfriend, but in this episode he is dateless, as he doesn't ask her to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. It is possible that the two broke up between "Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru" and "Dance, Dance Resolution".

Cultural References

 * The title of the episode is based on the popular Konami game, "Dance Dance Revolution". Additionally, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne battle each other at a Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine parody, "Dance Battle", at the end of the segment.
 * The name of the date Lucy recommended to Lincoln, Haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, that only consists of three lines. The first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the third line has five syllables.
 * This could be a take on the fact that Lucy and Haiku are avid poets and poetry-readers.
 * When Clyde first sends Lincoln over to Tabby, he mentions she loves sweating to the oldies. This could be a reference to Richard Simmons, as he has a workout video with the same name.
 * Also when Clyde said Tabby loves "turning it to 11" is a reference to the movie "This is Spinal Tap".
 * When Haiku tells Clyde her "heart belongs to an older man" the locket she has shows a picture of Dracula from the 1992 film adaptation of of the same name.
 * The music played in the first scene of the dance sounds similar to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
