Plot
A cold infests The Loud House, and the infected behave like zombies.

Synopsis
Lincoln wakes up late on Saturday, and is surprised to hear nothing at all. He walks out of his room to find the upstairs hallway is a wreck. He sees Lana and Lola come out of their room looking sick, he tries to back away only to find a sick Lori and Lynn. He continues to back away only to be pulled into Lisa's room. He finds Leni, Luna, Luan, Lucy, and Lisa and they take his temperature to make sure he isn't sick.

When they know he isn't sick, they explain what happened. Lori got the flu and sneezed on Lynn's basketball, causing Lynn to get infected. Lynn went and drank orange juice from the carton, so when Lana drank orange juice, she got infected, due to the germs Lynn had previously released into the carton. Lana sneezed on Lola, causing her to get infected, and the rest were taking shelter in Lisa's room to avoid the disease.

Lincoln calls Clyde and tells him the flu is invading the house, and Clyde mourns when he hears Lori got the flu. Lincoln lets Clyde know six of them are fine, only for Luan to sneeze, they assume Luan is infected, when she says she's not, she becomes a "zombie" and they throw her out of the room.

Lincoln says they need to leave the house, and Leni says that they should help her family. Everyone sides with Lincoln, and grabs a gun filled with chicken soup, except for Leni, who does not believe in the flu. They leave and before they make it downstairs, Luna gets cornered and eventually infected. They make it downstairs, knowing Luna got infected and thinking Lucy got infected. They try to leave through the front door, but the pets are outside and infected. They try the back door, but find more infected siblings. They head to mom and dad's room, and find them infected, but they also find that Lucy wasn't infected.

Lincoln tries contacting Clyde, but his walkie talkie is dead. They sneak into Lisa's room for batteries, and see Lily is infected too. Lily sends a snot bubble at them, but it misses and it goes out the window. They recharge the walkie talkie and make it to the kitchen. When Lincoln attempts to open the door, the snot bubble flies in through an open window and infects Lucy, who infects both the doorknob and Lisa.

Leni says she's going to stay behind and help the others, allowing Lincoln to escape. Unfortunately, Luna is about to sneeze on Leni, but Lincoln jumps in front of her and gets himself infected. He says Leni deserved to be healthy more than he did, only to end up sneezing on her, thus infecting them both.

Now that all of them are sick, Clyde brings his food into the living room, and the episode ends with them eating it.

Cultural References

 * The title is a parody of the novel, play and 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
 * Also, this title is similar from The Fairly OddParents episode "One Flu Over the Crocker's Nest".
 * When Lynn is drinking orange juice after getting sick, the carton says "0.07% juice, all pulp". This is a reference to how many store bought fruit juices are actually only about 10% real fruit juice, or less, and the rest is just added sugar and whatnot.
 * The scene where the flu went from Lori to Lynn to Lana to Lola was done in Black and White, like the original Night of the Living Dead.
 * At one point, Lincoln mentions the Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
 * The Zombie Flu noises The Loud Family made while they had the flu sounds similar to the walker noises from AMC's The Walking Dead.

Trivia

 * This is the second segment after "The Price of Admission" to air on a weekend morning.
 * This premiered as a part of Nickelodeon's Halloween episodes, although neither this nor its paired segment are set on Halloween.
 * This is the first time Clyde speaks to the viewers.
 * Rita's face is shown once again, although only her mouth is shown. Lynn Sr.'s full body is shown in shadow again.
 * This segment marks the first time a character gets sick.
 * Leni is the only Loud sibling who didn't believe in the zombie flu infection.
 * Clyde is the only character in this segment who did not get infected.
 * Lincoln and Leni salute with their left hands instead of the right, which is the more typical one used in the military.
 * Lincoln says "It tastes like chicken noodle soup", a line Lana said in Linc or Swim.
 * Although Lori, Lynn and Lynn Sr. were casted in this segment, they were only heard making Zombie noises.
 * The order in which the Louds get hit and how they get infected with the zombie flu:
 * Lori - Unknown. (Patient Zero)
 * Lynn - Touched the infected basketball.
 * Lana - Drank the infected orange juice.
 * Lola - Got coughed on by Lana.
 * Luan - Unknown.
 * Luna - Got coughed on by Luan and Lola.

Errors

 * While it is true someone who is sick can pass on the sickness to someone else with their germs, it is not possible for someone to become infected immediately. The infection will take effect within a day or more, if the victim does not care for themselves quick enough.
 * When Rita uses the laser thermometer to check Lori's temperature in the flashback, she says she has a fever, but the thermometer clearly says "98.6°", the same degree Leni got from Lincoln, which is technically not a fever, but normal and nearly close to one. A fever is generally 100° or higher.
 * When Lincoln says 'That's the crisis?', the closed-captions says 'That's the food crisis?'.

Running Gags

 * Someone getting infected.
 * Lincoln assuming Lucy is infected, and Lucy saying it's how she always looks.
 * Leni wanting to make her family feel better.
