[It's a rainy, monochrome day at the Loud House. Leni opens the curtains and looks out the windows of her room] Leni:[narrating] "It was just another dreary day at the Loud House..." Lola: "Leni, quick!" [Leni loses her balance and collapses. Lola enters the room, panting] "French Terry dyed!" Leni:[gasps] "Oh, no, not French Terry! Wait, do I know French Terry? I know Terry from the mall, but--" Lola:[splashes water in Leni's face] "Pull yourself together! Don't you understand? There has been a crime of fashion, and the culprit hit everyone in the house!" [They rush downstairs to the living room and find that everyone's laundry has been dyed orange.] "Look at my French terry gown..." [grabs her orange dress] "...from the Little Miss Spa Day Pageant!" Lynn: "And my home jersey! Good thing I have an away game tonight!" Luan: "We've got a dye-re situation on our hands, but I know who did it." [She grabs the chore list and shows it to everyone. It shows that Lincoln's on laundry duty. Everyone immediately turns on the orange-clad boy.] Lincoln: "Ah! No! It wasn't me!" Lola: "Said the fellow in the orange polo. TAKE HIM TO THE SLAMMER!" [Lana drags Lincoln to jail] Lincoln: "I'm innocent! Leni, you're the clothing expert! You gotta help me!" [Leni has been watching all this from the dining room.] Leni:[narrating] "I don't know if I was getting soft, or if it was the look in that poor sap's eyes, but something about the situation smelled fishy." [Leni catches a whiff of tuna, and retches when she sees it's Lynn eating a tuna sandwich.]
[Later, Lincoln is in a cushion jail. Lisa and Lily are keeping watch, Lisa on a cardboard tower and Lily by the entrance. Leni shows up and offers a cookie. Lily accepts and walks off, allowing Leni to enter the jail, but not before checking if anyone is noticing her entrance. She approaches Lincoln.] Lincoln: "Leni, I couldn't have turned everyone's clothes orange! I never even took my shirt off today!" Leni: "It ain't looking good for you, kid, but I've got a hunch it wasn't you who got zesty with the laundry. Now, walk me through your day." Lincoln: "It started out great! At breakfast, I cracked a joke so funny, milk shot out of Lana's nose." [Flashback to breakfast] Flashback Lincoln: "Baa-nana!" [Lana finds it so hilarious she snorts milk out of her nose. Both siblings share a laugh over it. Cut to later in the day, where Lincoln is rummaging through the fridge.] Lincoln:[narrating] "Around 11:00, I decided to grab myself a light snack from the fridge." [Lincoln grabs a meatball sub and prepares to eat it. Cut to Lincoln in the basement] "Then at noon, I did the laundry." [Lincoln empties the white load in the washer] "After I threw in the white load, I got... distracted." [Lincoln's gut rumbles and he frantically rushes upstairs. Back to the present] "Let's just say that soggy meatball subs aren't as light as I thought." Leni:[taking notes] "Exactly how long were you upstairs?" Lincoln: "Hmm... between 12:00 to 12:30." Leni: "Can you confirm your alibi?" Lincoln: "Not sure. The house was kinda empty. The only people around were Lynn, Luan, and Mr. Coconuts." Leni: "Hmm..."
[Luan is mixing something in the kitchen when Leni emerges from the sink.] Leni: "Luan." [Luan is so startled, she lets the bowl fly with the batter, then catches the bowl with the batter landing in it.] "Where were you between 12:00 and 12:30 today?" Luan: "Right here! I'm cooking something up for my new comedy act." [She's baking a pie in the oven] "I'm calling it Pies and Dolls." Leni: "Oh!" [sniffs] "Is that what smells so coconutty fresh?" Luan: "Wanna pie it?" [slams a pie fresh out the oven in Leni's face and laughs] Leni:[gets the pie off her] "Can anyone confirm your story?" Luan: "Sure. Mr. C was baking with me."
[The twins' room. Mr. Coconuts is playing poker with Mr. Sprinkles and Eunice when Leni and Luan enter.] Leni: "So, Mr. Coconuts." [takes a seat] "I heard you were baking with Luan today." [Mr. Coconuts doesn't answer] "You wanna play hardball, huh?" [Mr. Coconuts collapses on the table] "Luan, why isn't he talking?" [Luan eyerolls in exasperation and goes to puppeteer Mr. Coconuts.] Mr. Coconuts: "Yeah, I saw the dame cooking up new gags for our gig. They were sweet, real sweet." Leni: "And you were there the whole time?" Mr. Coconuts: "Most of it. Too much oven heat warps the wood, so I stepped outside for some air. Lynn saw me." Leni: "Hmm..."
[Now Leni's outside Lynn and Lucy's room, with Lynn doing pushups.] Lynn: "Yeah, I saw Coconuts outside." [grunts] "Me and the gals got a big game tonight at Hazeltucky and he was helping me count my warmup squats." [grunts once more] [Leni steps away to think.] Leni:[narrating] "Lynn, Luan, and Mr. Coconuts were all accounted for. But I still had one place left to investigate."
[Leni is in the laundry room, looking through the dryer. She then investigates the folded laundry by tossing every piece of clothing aside in there.] Leni:[narrating] "I was just about to throw in the towel," […as in a literal towel, until she notices something else] "when the mystery started to unfold." [Leni swings the towel over her shoulder as she grins, staring determinedly at what she found.]
[Leni is holding a family meeting.] Leni: "Thank you all for coming. After much investigating, I've figured out that Lincoln is innocent." [The family gasps] "It was Lynn!" [more gasps] "And Luan!" [more gasps] "And Mr. Coconuts!" Mr. Coconuts:[gasps] "You can't prove nothing!" Leni: "Of course I can!" [Flashback to Lincoln doing the laundry when his gut rumbles and he rushes out the basement] "Lincoln left the laundry room between 12:00 and 12:30 while the whites were washing, and when he did, the trio made their move." [Lynn, Luan, and Mr. Coconuts slyly smirk and enter the basement] "First, Luan tossed her yellow socks in the wash!" [Luan adds her socks in the wash] "But yellow socks alone couldn't dye the laundry orange. That's when Lynn threw in her red jersey!" [Lynn adds her jersey and hits start on the wash. The clothes mix and the whites get dyed orange] "And while all this was going on, Mr. C was acting as a lookout!" [Mr. Coconuts is in the kitchen, just outside the basement, keeping watch. Back to the present.] Mr. Coconuts: "That story don't make a lint of sense!" Leni: "Sure it does, and I've got proof." [takes out coconut-scented detergent, and the others gasp] "When I interviewed Luan, I caught a whiff of something sweet. At first, I thought it was her coconut pie until I interviewed Lynn, whose jersey smelled exactly the same. Once I found the detergent," [opens the detergent, pours some in the cap, and smells it] "it all made sense." [Lana sniffs Lynn's jersey and Luan's socks.] Lana: "She's right. They smell the same!" [The perpetrators cringe as they realize they're busted.] Lincoln: "But why?!" [slams a fist on the desk] "Why'd you do it?!" Luan: "Oh, Lincoln. Isn't it obvious?" [Flashback to breakfast] "At breakfast this morning, you totally snagged my gag!" Flashback Luan: "Hey, guys! What's a sheep's favorite fruit?" Flashback Lincoln: "Baa-nana!" [Lana finds it so hilarious she snorts milk out of her nose and onto Luan and Mr. Coconuts's faces. Lincoln and Lana share a laugh over it as Luan glares at them.] Mr. Coconuts:[narrating] "And I had a soak in it!" [Flashback to Lynn entering the kitchen to find Lincoln eating the meatball sub, much to her anger.] Lynn:[narrating] "And then later, you ate my spicy meatball sub, which I was saving for my pre-game protein boost!" [Flashback to an angry Lynn storming upstairs to find Luan with milk still on her face.] Mr. Coconuts:[narrating] "You stung us real good, kid, so we came up with a plan for revenge." [The three smirk at each other and join hands for their plan. Back to the present.] Luan: "We're sorry. We just wanted to get back at Lincoln by framing him. It was a bad idea, but we'll replace everyone's clothes. Promise!" Lola: "Enough with the sob story. Lana, take 'em to the slammer!" [Lana is about to do that, until Rita stops her.] Rita: "Or, instead, we put them on laundry duty for the next month." [The Louds agree] Lynn Sr.: "Works for me." Lola: "I'm on board with that." Lynn: "And we'll get Lincoln something special, too. How's a limited-edition David Steele comic sound?" [playfully bumps him with her elbow] "Eh?" [The two siblings shake on it as Leni goes up to another window, rain still falling.] Leni:[narrating] "Another day, another case closed." [It turns out the "rain" was Mr. Grouse spraying the windows with his hose.] Rita:[off-screen] "Grouse, stop spraying my window with your garden hose!" [Mr. Grouse loses his balance and falls. The end.]
