"A Really Loud Thanksgiving: The Gobble Squabble Debacle" is the nineteenth episode (twentieth in production order) of the second season, the second-season finale, and the series finale of The Really Loud House.
It's Thanksgiving Day and Lola has been crowned "Little Miss Giblets" by The National Giblet Distribution Company. When she discovers the ceremony is a sham, she and the Louds steal the turkey to set it free.
This episode makes The Really Loud House the second series in the Loud House franchise to conclude its broadcast after The Casagrandes aired its final episode in 2022.
Before this episode was revealed, another Thanksgiving episode, "Tennesee-you-later: A Very Loud Road Trip", was planned for this season; however, it was scrapped, with its subplot about Lola saving a "pardoned" turkey from being slaughtered becoming integrated into this episode.
The final shot of this episode (and the entire series) is the outside of the Loud House with autumn decorations, and the words "Happy Thanksgiving" in gold on the bottom.
Rita has the last line of the series: "I am not doing the dishes."
Due to this being the final episode of the series, this is also the last episode:
Every year, Liam manages to get a story on the news.
Lynn Sr. has a tendency to make promises if they only come into effect in the future.
Because Rita has to cook for the entire family every year (plus Clyde), she acts like a drill sergeant every Thanksgiving to get the kids to assist her.
When Patrick was four years old, his parents got divorced on the morning of Thanksgiving Day, and therefore, he has never celebrated Thanksgiving properly.
Lily usually refers to a turkey baster as a "squirt gun".
Lucy has the widest legs of the younger Loud sisters, and her legs are even wider than Luan's.
Lisa and Leni making pants that expand as the wearer becomes fatter from eating Thanksgiving dinner is similar to how Lynn's animated counterpart wore big pants to pee into while watching the football game in the Loud House episode "The Loudest Thanksgiving".
Leni sewing the pants to her shirt, along with her and Patrick sewing the curtains into their shirts together, is similar to how her animated counterpart sewed the tartan fabric used to make the sashes into her dress in The Loud House Movie, along with Scott.
The name of the turkey that Lola pardons, Mr. Gobblesworth, is likely a reference to Tammy Gobblesworth, Flip's love interest from the animated series.
The posters for The Outrageous Adventures of Bartholomew J. Gobblesworth and Freak Freak Night appears to be generated by artificial intelligence, as they contain incomplete and nonsensical text in the slots that show the credits.
This is also the first (and only) episode where artificial intelligence generated art is ever used in the franchise.
Innuendo: Lana asking Lincoln and Clyde if they've ever heard of "turkey slaughtering" implies that Lynn Sr., Rita, and Lily were slaughtering turkeys in the kitchen at that exact moment.
Irony:
The sign that Lily put on the door, saying "No kids allowed; only Lily" is hypocritical because Lily herself is a kid.
When Leni declines Patrick's offer to go out to dinner with him on Thanksgiving Day (a secular holiday with religious roots), Patrick says that he didn't know Leni was "religious" and tries to reschedule their dinner for December 25th, which is Christmas Day, a full-fledged religious holiday.
