Episode Information

"A Pimple Plan" is the twenty-third episode of the fourth season, and the one-hundred-seventy-second episode of The Loud House.

Plot

Luan wakes up with a pimple on the day of her first date with Benny, so she turns to the siblings for help.

Synopsis

Luan wakes up with excitement, because, as she explains to Mr. Coconuts, today is her first date with Benny. As Luan figures out what to wear, she discovers that a pimple has formed on her cheek. Luan asks Lori on what to do, but she simply states that pimples are normal, and claims that Benny will like her regardless of her pimple. At that moment, the other siblings arrive and notice Luan's pimple. Luan asks for their help, and they all agree.

S4E12B Luan Notices a Pimple

Oh, no... A pimple!

From this point on, the siblings attempt to help Luan get rid of her pimple through various means.

  • Lori attempts to use a tip from Sixteen 1/2 Magazine where a pimple patch will make the pimple go away in five seconds. However, the trick doesn't work, since Lisa points out that the magazine uses false information.
  • Lisa attempts to help out by zapping the pimple with a laser, but she miscalculates her aim and the laser ends up bouncing around the room and burning Luan's scrunchie off.
  • Lynn attempts to help her out by making her sweat the pimple off. Unfortunately, this causes the pimple to grow in size, making Luan's dilemma worse.
  • Lucy attempts to contact the spirits, but nothing happens.
  • Lincoln attempts to use a piece of frozen meat to make the pimple shrink, since he says that Rip Hardcore uses it to reduce swelling from bug bites. However, Charles come in and steals the meat.

Seeing how they made no progress, Leni comes up with the idea that if they can't get rid of it, they should cover it up. At Reininger's, Miguel manages to cover up Luan's pimple with a little makeup, and says that if the makeup ever falls off, he provided a bag of samples for backup touches.

Arriving to Owen Walter Park, Luan jumps out and meets up with Benny at the park's pond dock. As Luan and Benny ride in a swan-shaped pedal boat, Luan's sweating causes her makeup to wash off, exposing her pimple. Acting fast, Luan quickly swims back to shore and calls up the siblings, asking for her bag of samples. Unfortunately, Lola has taken the samples to do makeup on Mr. Sprinkles (her teddy bear). Acting fast, she requests her emergency clown bag, and the siblings quickly head to the park. After getting her bag, Luan quickly puts on a clown costume and heads back to Benny, who is ready to have a picnic. Suddenly, Luan gets hounded by a group of kids who mistake her for a real clown, causing her to retreat and ask her siblings for another disguise. Arriving back to the park, Lincoln looks around for something to disguise Luan and discovers Flip selling cotton candy, causing him to get an idea.

S4E12B Luanny Picture 2

A better way to cap off a funny date by taking photos together.

Luan goes back to Benny with a beard of cotton candy, and Benny suggests that they play chess. As they play, a swarm of bees come in and eat away Luan's "beard" causing her to hide her face in various ways. When Luan spots a man in a unicorn outfit nearby, she proceeds to steal the head, but this causes a park ranger's horse to fall in love, causing her to run off. After tricking the horse to go in one direction, Luan suddenly gets stuck in a tree, requesting her siblings to get her out. After the siblings get Luan out, Benny catches up with the siblings and asks where Luan is. Luan, realizing that she's ruining her one day with her date, decides to finally expose her pimple. After doing so, Luan believes that Benny wouldn't want to hang out with him, but Benny says that he still likes her, regardless whether or not she has a pimple. After Lori escorts the remaining siblings away, Luan and Benny decide to spend their remaining date in the photo booth. As they look at their photos, they suddenly get a third strip of photos, showing their dummies having taken photos of themselves seemingly by themselves, much to their horror.

Errors

S4E12B Luan Love it

With her braces placed like that, she shouldn't be able to open her mouth.

  • When Luan and Benny play around in the photo booth, Benny's hair is drawn more like as it had appeared in "L is for Love".
  • When Luan smiles into the mirror, her braces are drawn over the spaces in between her teeth, rather than over each tooth where they would belong.
  • Possible: When Luan works out in the bathroom with Lynn, her pimple is missing. It's possible it was hidden to build up the reveal that it grew in size.
  • When Miguel gives Luan the makeup samples, the bag is peach. Later, when Lola uses the makeup on Mr. Sprinkles, the bag changed to white.
  • In the Polish dub, Benny's name is Benjamin, despite it being Benedict in "Stage Plight".
