Plot
Lincoln is tired of his sisters meddling in his business, but when a bully picks on him at school, he frets over whether or not to tell them.

Synopsis
All day at school, Lincoln is trying to go about with his education, but someone keeps picking on him by pulling a bunch of pranks, such as pantsing him, tying his shoelaces together, putting whoopee cushions in his favorite lunch seat, and even stuffing his locker full of garbage. And every time that happens, the other kids would take pictures of or record his expense. When he's had enough of it, he decides that he is going to have to resolve this one way or another and demands that this instigator meet him in front of his house at 3:30. Clyde is worried about what might happen if they're gonna fight, but Lincoln assures him that they will just have a nice and civil talk about it. Clyde suggests that Lincoln talk to his sisters about it, but Lincoln refuses to resort to that as they will only meddle in his affair. His sisters have had a history of meddling in his life, such as one time when they were checking on him for what seemed like a medical emergency. Lori took his temperature, Lisa took his x-rays, Luan and Luna bandaged him up real tight, and Leni dropped scolding hot soup on him. And it was all from a simple paper cut he got on his finger. He wants to keep this bully issue a secret from them. They also notice a piece of watermelon lime flavored ABC gum in Lincoln's hair and a sticky note that says "Lame-O" on it. If his sisters see it, they'll surely butt in and meddle. To get it out, Lincoln decides to use some peanut butter.

When he goes in the house, he delivers a weather report about his life to the viewers that everything is clear for now. As he makes his way to the kitchen, he sees Lily playing and tells her to keep quiet. Then he comes by and hears Lori talking to one of her friends on her phone about some fashion fiasco her friend went through on a date. He makes his way over to the fridge, but Luna comes in and he hides the gum in one of the crisper drawers. Luna thinks he's finding a new way to "chill out" and requests a pudding cup. Lincoln hands it to her and at the moment she leaves finds the peanut butter only to find that it's empty and rants why people put empty stuff back in the fridge. He needs to find a new way to get it out, and Lori, while still talking to her friend, says "cut it out", and Lincoln takes it as a suggestion. He then comes across Luan who delivers a joke that he doesn't get, to which she says she got the punchline, but still needs to set it up. When she leaves, he finds a pair of scissors and sneaks off to his room only to be told to take out the trash by his parents. He requests that he be given a few minutes before he does it, but they demand that he do it right away. So, he has no choice and takes out the trash. But then, Leni comes by looking for something, thinking she tossed it in the trash, and notices Lincoln's wearing the garbage can lid on his head. He passes it off as a new hat trend to which she agrees and decides to give it a try. He makes his way back to the door to his room only for Lisa to find out about the gum and easily deduces about Lincoln's being picked on. Lincoln begs her not to tell the others, to which she seemingly promises.

But just before he can snip the gum out and be in the clear, the others find out about this, making Lincoln believe Lisa broke her promise, to which she says she never made, and they demand to know who's been picking on him so they can give the jerk a little retribution for picking on their only brother. Lola suggests Lincoln talk to the principal about it, but Lori thinks that's too good for him and suggests reporting him to the police. Luan considers telling insult comedy to him, Lynn suggests going to beat him up, and Luna considers slamming cymbals together in his ears. Lynn goes off and finds a random boy who she assumes to be the bully, and the sisters demand that he stop bullying Lincoln because that's they do, but Lincoln tells them that he's not the bully and assumes that now the boy is gonna hate him for the sisters having put him through that. The girls still don't know who could be bullying Lincoln, and Lincoln openly admits that the person picking on him is actually...a girl.

Upon hearing this, the sisters are suddenly super excited to hear about this and embrace Lincoln in a big group hug. Even the usually calm and not-so-easily-excited Lisa is proud to hear about this! They assume that Lincoln has a girlfriend now and couldn't be any happier for their brother. But Lincoln has no idea what they're talking about. They explain to him that if a girl is picking on him, that means she likes him. The thought of it sounds ridiculous to Lincoln, but the other sisters insist that it's true. They get so giddy, cheerful, and happy for their brother that Lincoln reports the weather in his life is now about to be hit by the biggest disaster of all: the Sisternado. This ten-sister typhoon has the sisters all beckoning Lincoln to go out and kiss this girl he has met. Lincoln hides in the bathroom and tells Clyde about the situation at hand and Clyde actually believes this. Lincoln is still in denial about it, but suddenly considers that maybe it could be true. Maybe they're right about it. So, he decides to face them and tells them to get him ready for the moment of love.

Lincoln is ready to go out there and meet the girl who has been a pain in his neck only to want his attention, and the sisters are so happy for their brother. And Leni is even wearing a trash can lid on her head, taking Lincoln's fashion advice from earlier, and decides that they should wear it to his future wedding. Lincoln steps outside and gives the girl a kiss...but she responses by giving him a black eye. So, it seems that the sisters were verily wrong. Lincoln is angry at them for their assumption, which they sincerely apologize for, and refuses to forgive them and orders them to stop meddling in his life.

Now upset with what his sisters put him through, Lincoln has come to the conclusion that he was right about that girl and she just wanted to torment him. She tosses a rock through his open window and leaves a note apologizing for the black eye, leaving him her phone number and even a steak to clear up the swelling. Lincoln was wrong about her and his sisters were right about their assumption. He begs the viewers not to tell them that.
