Chore and Peace

"Chore and Peace" is the twenty-fourth episode of The Loud House.

Plot
Lincoln wants to trade chores with his sisters.

Synopsis
It's Chore Day in the Loud house, and Lincoln is the one who has to take out the trash. However, he notices that Leni's job (cleaning the hair out of the bathroom sink) doesn't take much effort, Lucy, Luan, and Lynn share one job (washing the dishes), and Lori's job (washing the clothes) has the machine doing all the work. Trailing the trash outside on the walkway turns out to be the last straw for Lincoln, and he demands that one of his sisters swap chores with him. They refuse, prompting Lincoln to go on strike until his demands are met. His parents, believing that the children with settle this debacle themselves, decide to construct a jigsaw puzzle rather than intervene.

Overtime, the house becomes littered with trash until the girls can no longer stand it. Eventually his sisters come up with a plan get him to end his strike: go on strike themselves. Lincoln refuses to do so, and soon, the conditions of the house severely deteriorate; among other problems, Lynn gets caught up in a ball of sink hair, the trash has mixed with Lisa's chemicals to create a trash monster (whom she names "Trashy"), a raccoon has moved into the house, and Lisa not paying the bills leaves the house without power.

The girls finally have enough of the mess and urge Lincoln to give up his strike, but he still refuses to do so...until he hears Lily crying. Finding that she's not in her crib, he concludes that she must be hidden somewhere in the gigantic mess. Feeling ashamed, Lincoln finally ends his strike so that he and his sisters can clean the house and find Lily. After the entire house is spotless again, Lily still can't be found, but it turns out that Lily was with Mom and Dad the whole time (since they knew better than to leave her surrounded by filth). When Lincoln takes out the last of the trash to be picked up by the garbage truck, the Louds' next-door neighbor, Mr. Grouse, informs him that the truck won't be coming because the garbage men are on strike for more money. Angered that he and his sisters don't get paid for their jobs, they go on strike once again, this time to get their parents to pay them. Rather than deal with them, they decide to continue with their jigsaw puzzle, much for their father's amusement.
