I too, agree with your interpretation of today's episode. While I was hoping for Lynn to learn a bit further that she can't always win,  she at least learned not to showboat in front of her siblings and make herself look like a troll. I feel they could've did more for the scene where she lost instead of having her go into a rage cycle. I will say this though: the whole win-obsession phase...while it does expound on the fact Lynn doesn't take losing well (to the point I firmly believe it's a real Berserk Button for her character), it was still annoying to watch. And while Lynn did indeed get some character development in this episode, I wish they could've did more with her. I didn't really like how she took one loss as a personal insult and went off the deep end to the point where everyone else decided to let her win just so she'd stop. I fear that, had Leni not thrown the game out the window, Lynn would've learned nothing and this episode would go from being 'meh' to being horrible. All the siblings really needed to do was just tell her straight that her antics were annoying them to death and ask her to stop. I just feel that Lynn barely learned much today when she could've learned MORE, and it's painful to see the writers not doing much with her character...

However, like Weavillian already said, NSL was more so about Lynn believing too much in her superstitions than her own skill, while that episode did give the hint that Lynn doesn't take losses well, it came off being pretty shallow since she just blamed Lincoln's very presence for the failure. But, like you said, she had a scapegoat to use.
