Sound of Silence

"Sound of Silence" is eleventh episode of The Loud House.

Plot
Lincoln buys a pair sound-canceling earbuds to drown out the sounds his sisters make, but it doesn't last long as he has to keep a promise he unwittingly made to Lola.

Synopsis
The episode opens with Lincoln comes home with a new comic book and plans to read it in peace and quiet, but in a family like his, he can barely find any of it. While in the living room, he sees a TV commercial for "Noise-B-Gone 2000", a pair of earplugs that can block out all loud noises with soothing sounds, and he orders them without his sisters' knowledge. After getting them in the mail (same-day delivery via drone), he puts the plugs on and finds that he can no longer hear his sisters' noises. As he goes through his day in peace, his sisters ask him for various favors, and Lincoln, unable to hear them, unwittingly agrees to them to shut them up.

The next morning, Lola wakes up Lincoln to remind him of the promise he made to her the previous day, telling him to do it by 3:00. But she's not the only one he unknowingly made a promise to. He also promised Lynn to be her sparring partner for kickboxing, Leni to act as a mannequin for her new fashion idea, and Lori to use him as an ottoman to rest her feet so she can paint her toenails. As Lincoln is roped into the other promises he unintentionally made to his sisters the previous day, he asks them what was the promise he made to Lola. They all react with fear and horror, and they tell him stories of the extreme revenges Lola extracted on them for making her mad (such as popping Lynn's soccer ball for eating the last pudding, selling Leni's stuff for breaking her tiara, boiling Lori's phone for not saying "Bless you" when she sneezed, and doing away with Lana's pet frog, Seymour, for distracting her while putting on her makeup), making Lincoln ever more afraid of what Lola will do to him at 3:00. Lincoln decides that he should do all the things Lola would expect him to do for her, such as cleaning her room, cleaning out the gutters, and creating topiary statues in the front yard.

When the clock strikes 3:00, Lola bursts in, saying that Lincoln has failed her, and she ominously approaches him as she prepares to unleash her vengeance. Cowering before her, Lincoln confesses that he was wearing earplugs and couldn't hear her demands. Lola suddenly calms, and she reveals that she knew he was wearing the plugs on the whole time. It's also revealed that she had the others tell Lincoln made-up stories about her to teach him a lesson; they remind him that he can't ignore his family, and that they all have to live in a noisy house together. Unfortunately, the girls have inadvertently forgotten to fill Lisa in on the plan, as her experiment about to explode and the others (except Lisa) are in shock to expect what is coming to them. The episode ends with Lisa's experiment creating an explosion so sinister, that it deafens Lincoln, Lola, and the others, getting them their comeuppance, due to Lincoln not helping her with it like he promised, as he yells, "NOW I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING!"
