On the same night: Lincoln and Clyde want to host a winner-take-all candy game, Lori and Leni want to host a masquerade party to celebrate a movie premiere, and Lucy's hosting the Morticians Club for the Blood Moon Festival.
This episode calls back to "Get Out of Dodgeball" by establishing Leni's crush on Timothée Chalamet, as she, Lori, and Bobby all express interest in throwing a masquerade party themed around him and watching the premiere of his new film, Moonlight Masquerade.
The premise of this episode is similar to that of "No Louds Allowed", as both involve different members of the Loud family hosting their own events at the Loud house simultaneously while facing conflicts tied to the other events. Like in said episode, Lincoln and Clyde hold their event in the attic, while Lucy holds her event in the basement.
Coincidentally, the plutonium orb from the same episode is also visible in the basement.
The rules of Lincoln and Clyde's Candy Slam tournament:
1. Rusty can be traded at any time for any reason.
2. Pass the dice to your left.
3. Once your fingers let go of the candy, the candy cannot be retracted.
4. No elbows on the table.
5. Candy from other countries is encouraged.
5a. Candy from Japan is strongly encouraged.
6. You must address the Dice Master as "Sir" or "Ma'am" (unless it's Rusty).
7. Door entry fee - 5 lbs. of candy or more.
8. Raisins don't count as candy.
9. If you've gotta pee, better roll a 3.
10. Sour candy is worth 1 fix that of a (unreadable).
11. Buying back in is another way to win.
12. Every game ends with the traditional Flippee bath pouring over the champion.
13. Generic brand candy is strongly discouraged.
14. No whistling or humming the first bars to "The Candy Man Can".
25. King size chocolate bar counts as 4 mini chocolate bars.
26. Flip two Jacks, welcome back.
27. Lose your partner: Eliminated.
27b.[sic] Substitute allowed if found before your next turn.
28. If you roll a 3 and a 4, you're out the door.
Rules 29-41 are all unreadable.
42. No cursing at the table.
43. If you have one chocolate, taffy, or licorice, you can roll and make ONE wish.
44. Dice off table: Eliminated.
45. Taking longer than 10 second to roll the dice is an automatic violation and resures the forfeiture of a turn.
Like in "Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese", Morpheus, Bertrand, and Persephone are absent from the Morticians Club meeting in this episode. Morpheus's absence is unexplained with Meekus seemingly replacing him, while Bertrand and Persephone's are explained as the former being on vacation at Dollywood and the latter getting her braces tightened.
The ways the masquerade party participants had their identities revealed:
Leni: Spilling the beans about her bedroom.
Rita: Saying that she had named her pony "Margarita".
Lori pointing out the similarity of the name "Margarita" to "Rita" is similar to how Brad Plaid named his horse and cactus Rita after his grandmother, Margarita, in the Loud House episode "Road Trip: From Brad to Worse".
Lynn Sr.: Using his normal voice while gloating about Rita's elimination.
Lori: Saying "literally" (doesn't count because the people who guessed her name were already out) and later wondering about Bobby's whereabouts.
Boris: Having his mask removed by Lori. (Nobody had guessed his name.)
Jeff: Being coerced into saying his name while volunteering for a card trick.
Bobby: Lori mentioning that he is her boyfriend.
Lynn: Winner
This episode reveals the following:
Rusty is arachnophobic.
The Morticians Club are Lucy's only friends, so she fears being isolated if they grow out of their goth phases and become assimilated into "normal" culture by the time she reaches middle school. Specifically, she fears that Dante may become a jock, Meekus may become a guitar player, and Boris may become a marching band musician, while Haiku may become the least unique.
On the first day of middle school, Clyde got called "Four-Eyes", got his lunch stolen, got an atomic wedgie, and farted during a pop quiz.
One summer, Rita made all of the Loud kids learn how to play an instrument. Lynn got mocked by her siblings, who bet that she could not learn how to play an instrument that doesn't involve balls, so she learned how to play the cello.
Lynn once went to magic camp with Luan, and nobody believed that she could do magic, so she learned how to juggle and perform card tricks.
The card that Jeff drew is the ace of diamonds.
This episode marks one of the few times Lucy sheds tears.
Haiku's fascination of the air horn is shown again as Lincoln and Dante are winning their game.
Lori declares that she, Lincoln, and Lucy need to settle who gets to host their event in a mature manner, and then immediately contradicts herself by immaturely calling Lynn Sr. over to settle it.
Hudson falling down the ladder prompted him to revert to his instincts as the neighborhood momma's boy, despite him being prepared to be the Madman.
Lori's anger towards Bobby for not being at the masquerade party with her caused Zach and Liam to view her as scarier than Lucy, which led them to bypass the sight of a hung-up towel with Lucy on the front before Lucy herself threw the towel at them.
