 * When the other girls are hiding from Luan's pranks and run out of food thanks to Lana eating it all, they suggest to draw straws. Leni just concedes to going and sacrificing herself because she claims to be a terrible artist, meaning she would make a terrible drawing of a straw.
 * While Lincoln avoided Luan's kitchen direction arrows, Leni follows them to who-knows-where, and thanks each and every one of them.

A Fair to Remember

 * When Lori needs a plan to get Bobby back from Lincoln, Leni suggests that she hang out with Ronnie Anne because she thinks Ronnie Anne would be like the sister Lori never had.

A Tattler's Tale

Funny Business

Snow Bored

One Flu Over the Loud House

​Brawl in the Family

 * When Leni came downstairs wearing her new dress, she thought Lori holding her dress (which was the same one Leni bought) was a brand new mirror that was installed.
 * When Lincoln asks Lori and Leni how they resolved their fight over the dress, Leni says that Lori gets to wear it on any day of the week that ended with "Y", and she gets to wear it the rest of the time. In other words, Lori gets to wear it every day of the week (since the days of the week all end with "Y"), while Leni will never have a day to wear it.

​Suite and Sour

 * Leni finds a name tag with the name Fritz on it, and mistakes it for a souvenir pin.

 * On Leni's phone, Lori's name is spelled as "LorE".

​Lock 'N' Loud

 * Leni claims her life's work is a six-piece kiddie puzzle.
 * When Lynn teaches Leni and Lola to fight a dummy just in case if a burglar broke in, Leni flirted with the dummy instead of attacking, claiming it looked cute. When Lola attacked it, however, Leni chastised Lola for attacking it, claiming "he" liked her.
 * When the Loud kids were cheering when Lincoln informed them that the burglar was caught, Leni still had feelings towards the dummy (which she named Donnie), and claims that she and "Donnie" should've ran away to Mexico while they had the chance.
 * Leni claims she has a deadly spray to use against the burglar called "Fatal Encounter". However, Lori points out she's just holding a perfume sample.

Kick the Bucket List

 * When Leni asks Clyde if he wants a partner to play with on the seesaw, Clyde denies the offer, saying that he has Lincoln (which is actually a rock with Lincoln's face painted on it).

Later, when the twins attacked Clyde for ruining their sandcastle, Leni, needing to go to the bathroom, asked "Lincoln" to watch the twins while she's gone.

Party Down

 * Leni tells Lincoln that she cannot let him in the party due to him being on this list and informs her it's a shopping list.
 * When Leni takes another photo of Lori, she mispronounces "sophisticated" as "constipated".

​Fed Up

 * Debatable: She gave Lynn Sr. a 10 just for using skates to cut up hotdogs as if he was actually in a figure skating competition.
 * She hides the ingredients for Lynn Sr.'s goulash in his slippers and robe, which leads to the parents finding out the kids sabotaging the meal.
