Hit by the realization that her big sister will be going off to college soon, Leni tries to thwart Lori's plans.
Synopsis[]
While the siblings are hanging out in the living room, Lynn Sr. enters with the mail. He discovers that there's a letter for Lori from Fairway University. After opening and reading the letter, Lori discovers that enrollment for the fall semester is ending next week. However, Lori is a bit hesitant, thinking she's not fully ready to go to college. Rita suggests that they spend the day touring the campus. While everyone is excited for the trip, Leni is revealed to be a bit saddened, where she explains (to a lifeless Mr. Coconuts, and then to Lily) that she won't feel the same without Lori. Seeing Leni's plight, Lily suggests to Leni that she try to show the downsides of Fairway University in hopes that Lori will change her mind.
To Leni's distress, Lori is going to college soon.
At Fairway University, the Louds meet up with Ronnie Anne and Carlos and proceed to go their own separate paths, as Lynn Sr. and most of the kids go to the campus store and Lincoln and Ronnie Anne go to make skateboard videos. As Lori, Leni and Rita (pushing Lily in a stroller) tour the campus with their guide, Raj, Leni tries to convince Lori of all the downsides of the college like the awful uniforms, the swimming pool and the crowded bathroom. However, Lori points out that she's literally wearing the same uniform, the "swimming pool" is a water hazard and the crowded bathroom is not any different from their own bathroom. In the store, as Lynn Sr. tries to find a hat (with Lola disapproving of his choices) and Raj showing what they sell, Leni bemoans that her plan isn't working. After one look at the uniform on a mannequin, Leni decides that if she can't convince Lori to not go to college, she'll make the college not want Lori.
After taking the uniform and modifying her hair, Leni passes herself as Lori and attempts to ruin her image by doing bad things. First she tries to steal some lemonade with a free water cup, but the cashier tells her that all the drinks are free. Second, she tries to steal some muffins from the counter, but the cashier says that they're free because of a special promotion. Suddenly, Leni spots Coach Niblick, the coach who gave Lori her scholarship, and believes that if she can convince him that she's a terrible player, he'll want to revoke Lori's scholarship. Approaching Coach Niblick, Leni tricks him into thinking she's Lori, and proceeds to show him "her" golf skills. The first two balls that Leni hits end up being hole-in-ones, so in a last-ditch effort to ruin Lori, Leni proceeds to pass herself off as having amnesia, saying that she doesn't how to hold the clubs and thinks golf balls are food. When Leni suggests that she revoke "her" scholarship, Coach Niblick complies and heads to his office to make the call, much to Leni's glee.
Even if the two are far away, they will still be close.
As the family is prepared to leave, Lori tells Leni that she was given an unlimited data plan that allows them to stay in touch. This announcement causes Leni to admit that she revoked Lori's scholarship. When a furious Lori asks Leni why she would do this to her, Leni sadly says that she doesn't want her to leave, thinking that they'll never be the same if they're separated. Lori calmly tells Leni that she needs her more than anyone else, and says that it's not too late to stop Niblick. Arriving to Niblick's office, Leni confesses her actions and says she's not the real Lori. After explaining her plan, she asks not to revoke Lori's scholarship, and he agrees (as Lori effortlessly putts a ball with her eyes closed). Niblick makes Leni feel better by saying that he too had a similar dilemma with his own sister leaving for college. He decides to call her, which isn't possible due to Leni cutting the phone cord (and Sergio running over the landline).
