Really, Loud House.....really, Loud House......really.....Loud House.......REALLY LOUD HOUSE?!!!!! My first two days back to college were terrible, with the first instance being my car breaking down. While that was bad, today was even worse! First, my dad gets sick (possibly from the stomach flu), so I had to take him to the clinic when I returned home, my teachers dished out heavy homework on me....I'm expected to read everything by two days. You would think that they would be more lenient on the homework since it was our first day back, but nope. To make matters worse, I've learned that I'll need to read a book that I had already read for one of the assignments....Gosh.

So, I returned home after I took my dad to the clinic, expecting to watch an exciting new episode of the Loud House. Since the Loud House always makes me happy whenever I watch it, surely it would be the catharsis to my dilemma. But I was wrong. This episode was horrible. HORRIBLE. Reading the plot of the episode itself made me wary, but I was like, hey, maybe this episode will be good. I mean, I have watched "Baby Steps" and I gave it a 5 out of 5 stars, so maybe this one will be just as good. But good god was I wrong. Basically in this episode, Lincoln discovers that his elder sisters - Leni and Lori - were needing some time to cool off after they had gotten into a huge fight. What was the fight about you ask? It was over a dress. A dress.......A DRESS! Apparently, Lori bought herself a dress from the mall only for Leni to walk up with the exact same brand. Angered, Lori tells Leni to take it back, but she refuses thus causing them to explode into a massive quarrel over something as trivial as a piece of fabric. Naturally, Lincoln's sisters tell him to butt out as this was a "sister dilemma," but naturally, he tries to figure something out. Only, he makes matters worse, and eventually his remaining sisters start to pick petty fights with each other. But the one thing that enraged me was the ending. So, the girls simply needed Lincoln to leave so that they would have some time to cool off. A tad mean, but okay I can live with that. But then, Lincoln, apparently not learning anything from earlier, ignites their rage yet again. Come on, writers, Lincoln is not an idiot. Sure, he may not know anything about girls, but he's not a twit!! Also, why did they hide the parents' faces again? Is it supposed to be a once per episode kind of thing, because we saw their faces in the Christmas episode. There's no way of blindsiding that.

Now, despite my immense (and I mean immense) hatred for the episode, there were a few things in it that I legitimately enjoyed. For one, when the Loud sisters were berating Lincoln for interfering with Leni and Lori (who clearly were recovering and didn't need his help), Lily criticizes him. That genuinely incited a chuckle from me. I also liked how Clyde was trying to help Lincoln in his time of need. Unfortunately, those are all the positive things that I can say for a horrible episode like this. I knew it would blow, but I held onto hope that maybe it would surprise me. Sadly, it only made me hate my day more. This is an episode that I wish would be blown away in a tornado.

Final score: 1 out of 5 stars
