It was never established whether or not the parents knew that Lincoln disobeyed and saw The Harvester against their wishes, but I would've made it clear that they knew that and them seeing The Harvester again was a trick, like they knew that the movie was probably very scary for Lincoln and they knew that he would not want to see it again if he could help it so them going to see it a second time would've been just a way for him to confess. This is never established in the episode so it is entirely possible that the parents could just allow their 11 year old son to see a potential R-rated horror film with excessive violence, demonism and possible language and sexuality and actually be excited to see it. Then again I always had a theory that they were crappy parents from this and other episodes.

I would have a dialogue exchange like this

Lincoln: I confess! I saw the Harvester against your wishes! I'm so sorry.

Mom: We know.

Lincoln: You do?

Dad: Yeah, and we knew that you would not want to see it again.

Mom: So we just went along with this so you could confess.

Lincoln: Well... it worked.

Mom: We aren't happy that you went to the movie, but we think that what you went through is punishment enough.

Lincoln: That's for sure.

Dad: Come on, son. Let's go home.

Something like that would've been awesome to include in the episode.

For "Room with a View", I think I would've just let the sisters stay with their respective roommates and just have Lisa be with Lily as she does not mind her presence and have Lincoln have the solo room. That way everyone is truly happy. I do admit I like that the sisters are willing to put everything back to the way things were so I can't really complain with that ending, but I think that it would've been more interesting if the sisters stuck with the roommates that they were most compatible with and have Lincoln stay in his linen closet room and have Lisa and Lily share a room.
