[The Loud house: A grad ceremony is being held in the backyard. Luan stands on a stage, where she and Mr. Coconuts are dressed in a cap and gown.]
Luan: "Welcome! It is with great pride that I present the Luan Pranking Academy's graduating class." [Ronnie Anne walks out from behind the curtains.] "Today, we are honoring Ronnie Anne Santiago, the first person to ever graduate the program, which I now offer online."
Mr. Coconuts: "Now is when you clap, fellas!"
[Lincoln and Benny are the audience members, and they clap for Ronnie Anne.]
Lincoln: [to the viewers] "That's right, Ronnie Anne's about to get her pranking PhD, which is cool. But I'm just excited my buddy's in town. We get to hang out. Plus Dad made the appetizers, like mac and cheese bites!" [He pulls up a tray full of snacks and takes one of the mac and cheese bites. He eats it, but he suddenly spits it out.] "Which, of course, Luan filled with octopus ink." [wipes the ink off his lips] "Real nice."
Luan: "Benny, you may be stalled at Level One Whoopie Cushion, but someday, if you work hard, you'll graduate, too."
Benny: "Aw, thanks, Luan! Until then, I'll just keep pouring my savings into this class!"
Luan: [She and Mr. Coconuts present Ronnie Anne with her diploma.] "Ronnie Anne, please accept this diploma."
[Ronnie Anne takes the diploma in excitement. Lincoln and Benny clap for her, with Benny wiping away tears.]
Lincoln: "Woo-hoo! Yeah, Ronnie Anne!"
Ronnie Anne: [tosses her cap] "I'd like to thank my brother Bobby for being the main target of my homework assignments." [She stares at the diploma, but she is surprised.] "Uh, what's happening?"
[The text on her diploma vanishes, and Luan pops up deviously.]
Luan: "Ha-ha! Disappearing ink!" [Ronnie Anne gasps] "You haven't graduated yet. There is a final test you must complete, and this test is the hardest." [cackles]
Benny: "I did not see this coming!" [He eats a piece of chocolate cake, but his face gets red and he blows steam out of his ears to Lincoln's horror.] "Or that ghost pepper! Classic Luan."
Luan: "Ronnie Anne, you must prank the master: Me! And it must be done before sundown, so tick-tock. Remember your mantra: 'Work with what you've got'." [She released a fart cloud bomb and disappears.]
Ronnie Anne: [coughs] "Fart cloud."
[Benny claps while Lincoln runs over to her.]
Lincoln: "Don't worry, you've got this! Sure, Luan's, um, terrifying, but it's just one prank, right? I'd help you, but my, um, hamstrings are feeling kinda tight." [Ronnie Anne is unconvinced as Lincoln pretends to limp away.] "Uh, better go ice 'em."
Ronnie Anne: [pulls him back] "Lincoln, I know you're faking it. Come on, I could really use your help. No one knows Luan better than you."
Lincoln: [reluctantly] "Fine."
[Ronnie Anne is excited.]


[Lincoln opens the door to the bathroom, where Ronnie Anne has a wrench.]
Lincoln: "Plumbing was part of Luan's class?"
Ronnie Anne: "Yep. And CPR, Morse Code, sailing, welding... You know, all the basics you need for pranking." [She jumps into the tub and opens the shower wall, and then she makes her way across the room.]
Lincoln: "Might want to hurry, we're cutting it close. I paid off Lola for her shower slot, but Luan's turn is any minute." [He notices Ronnie Anne holding a large pot of chili.] "Wait, what is that?"
[Ronnie Anne has opened up the pipes and brings the pot of chili to the tub.]
Ronnie Anne: "I call this prank, 'Hope the water isn't too chili." [laughs and places the pot in the wall] "When I did it on Bobby, he was picking beans out of his hair for days!" [She inserts a pipe into the pot and closes up the wall.] "That diploma is mine!"
[Ronnie Anne and Lincoln exit the bathroom as Luan comes out of her room reading a clown magazine. They press themselves against the wall as Luan enters the bathroom, then they hide behind the door to her room.]
Ronnie Anne: "Here comes the scream." [She and Lincoln listen, but all they hear is water running and then it turns off.] "Huh?" [They hide.]
[Luan comes out of the shower and closes her door, which Lincoln and Ronnie Anne are still clutching. They fall to the floor, but as they stand up, there is a strange sound. They look up, and the chili squirts out of the ceiling sprinkler.]
Lincoln: "Uh-oh."
Ronnie Anne: "She rerouted the pipes!"
[They scream and run away as the chili floods the house, and it carries them both out the front door. They stand up and brush the chili off their faces.]
Lincoln: "Maybe we should just forget about this."
Ronnie Anne: "No! You know Luan's schedule. Where's she going today? We'll beat her there and set up a different trick."
Lincoln: "Her usual Saturday routine means she'll be at Dad's restaurant for lunch."


[Lynn's Table: Lincoln is staring out the window.]
Lincoln: "She's coming! Hurry!"
[Ronnie Anne places something inside the seat of a booth and replaces the cushion, the she runs over to Lincoln.]
Ronnie Anne: "You're sure she sits in that booth every time?"
Lincoln: "Like clockwork. She says it's the funniest booth in the restaurant. I don't even know what that means."
Ronnie Anne: "Well, it's about to get even funnier cause any minute, a semitruck's airbag is gonna go off under her butt!" [cackles]
[Luan enters the restaurant, so Lincoln and Ronnie Anne hide their faces behind a menu as she walks to the rigged booth and appears to sit upon the seat and take out her phone.]
Ronnie Anne: "Okay, any second now... Okay, any minute now..."
[Luan is still unaffected by the prank.]
Lincoln: "Why isn't it going off?"
[Ronnie Anne shrugs in confusion, and they keep watching Luan. Grant brings her a plate of spaghetti.]
Luan: "Thanks, Grant. Doesn't this booth just crack you up?" [She laughs while Grant walks away in annoyance. Luan dumps the entire plate of spaghetti into her mouth all at once, but then her stomach feels uneasy.] "Ooh, that's not sitting right." [She hurries to the bathroom, while Lincoln and Ronnie Anne watch.]
Ronnie Anne: "Now's our chance to fix it. Come on!"
[The two hurry to Luan's booth, but as they lift off the cushion, the airbag deploys and launches them into the ceiling. Suddenly, Luan comes back cackling.]
Ronnie Anne: "I don't understand. We saw you sitting down!"
Luan: "Wrong: I wasn't sitting, I was hovering. Observe." [She squats in a sitting posture, and her leg muscles are revealed.] "I haven't sat in years." [stands up] "Too many possible revenge pranks. Anyway, I have a birthday party to perform at. The clock is ticking, Ronnie Anne."
[As Luan leaves, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne fall from the ceiling and land on the table. Ronnie Anne groans painfully.]


[Tall Timbers Park: Lincoln and Ronnie Anne wrap clear wrap around two trees that stand on either side of a path.]
Ronnie Anne: "So, when Luan passes through here on her way to the birthday party--"
Lincoln: "She'll bounce off the clear wrap and get flung into a ditch! Genius!"
[They hear a bell and run to hide behind a bush as Luan comes over the hill on her unicycle.]
Ronnie Anne: "Here she comes!"
[Luan takes out a remote control and pushes the button, and her unicycle transforms into a pogo stick, which she uses to jump over the clear wrap and continue on her way.]
Luan: "Clearly, I won't fall for that!" [laughs]
Ronnie Anne: "Oh, come on!"
[Just then, Flip and Nacho pedal past on a bicycle, with Nacho eating nachos from a picnic basket.]
Lincoln: [gasps] "Flip! Stop!"
[Flip runs into the clear wrap and yelps as he and Nacho are flung off the clear wrap into a tree, then they fall onto Lincoln and Ronnie Anne. The nachos splatter all over them.]
Flip: "Holy nachos, Nacho! We spilled our nachos!"
[Nachos splatter down the screen as the scene transitions to the birthday party.]


[Luan and Mr. Coconuts are at the birthday party performing for kids.]
Mr. Coconuts: "How do pickles celebrate their birthday? They relish it!" [laughs]
Jeffrey: [He and the other toddlers laugh] "I love pickle humor!"
[Behind a nearby refreshments table, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne are watching Luan. Suddenly, Ronnie Anne ducks under the table and begins meditating.]
Ronnie Anne: "Ohm... Ohm... Ohm..."
Lincoln: "Uh, what are you doing?"
Ronnie Anne: "Prank meditating. It helps me focus. I need to think of something I haven't tried yet. Ohm... Ohm..."
[Inside her head, Ronnie Anne sees a whoopie cushion float by her.]
Mr. Coconuts: [He floats by Ronnie Anne and speaks on his own.] "Knock-knock. Who's there? Me, and I'm in your brain!" [laughs]
[A set of wind-up false teeth fly by, followed by a balloon animal dog and a rubber chicken.]
Ronnie Anne: "Whoa!"
Luan: [She walks by on tall stilts with joke goggles.] "Pranking me is a tall order, Ronnie Anne!" [Ronnie Anne screams as Luan's head appears out of nowhere behind her.] "Just remember: Work with what you've got!" [She cackles, then her head disappears. Then the false teeth bite Ronnie Anne's butt, and she screams as she comes back to reality, and she falls on her back.]
Ronnie Anne: [She stands up and grins.] "I have an idea!"
[Back at the stage, Luan is juggling while riding her unicycle. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne peek out from behind the curtain, then they go for a long trunk.]
Lincoln: "Oh, going for her clown props, nice. Too bad they're always locked up."
Ronnie Anne: [takes a bobby pin from her hair] "Lockpicking was part of the class."
Lincoln: [unsurprised] "Of course it was."
[Ronnie Anne picks the lock and opens the trunk. Inside are stilts, and Ronnie Anne loosens the screws on the footsteps.]
Ronnie Anne: "This ought to take her down to size." [laughs]
Luan: [reaches for the stilts] "Time for the birthday grand finale!"
[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne hide behind the snack table and watch Luan.]
Ronnie Anne: "It's showtime!"
[Luan climbs onto her stilts, but the screws fall out and the footsteps come loose.]
Luan: "Whoa-oh-oh!" [She loses her balance and screams as she is flung toward the table. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne duck as she hits the cake. When she stands up, her face is covered in cake, but Lincoln and Ronnie Anne stand up victoriously.]
Ronnie Anne: "We did it! We got you!"
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne: "We did it, we did it!"
Luan: "Did you, though?" [She pulls off her head and shirt, and Lincoln gasps as it is revealed to be...]
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne: "Benny?!"
Benny: "Sorry, guys, Luan promised me half off tuition if I helped her. Oh, that class isn't cheap."
Lincoln: "Your Luan was incredible!"
Benny: "Thanks." [mimicking Luan] "Voice mimicry is the only 'A' I've gotten."
Ronnie Anne: [growls] "So where's Luan now?"
[The three of them glance toward a nearby hill, where the real Luan is with her unicycle. She cackles and rides off into the early evening as the scary music from the title card plays.]
Lincoln: "That was unnerving."
Ronnie Anne: "We can't let her get away, or we'll never prank her in time. There's only 23 minutes until sunset!" [runs off]
Benny: "Learning to tell time by the sun is also part of--"
Lincoln: "Of the class. I get it."
[Jeffrey opens one of his presents and reveals a skateboard.]
Ronnie Anne: [grabs his skateboard] "Can I borrow this?" [hands him a cream pie] "Have a pie!" [Jeffrey takes it excitedly.]
Jeffrey: "Oh!"
Lincoln: [Ronnie Anne runs over, throws a helmet on his head, and pulls him off.] "Uh, Ronnie Anne, what are you doing? Ah!" [Ronnie Anne rides the skateboard while Lincoln clutches onto her, scared.] "I can't look! Is this really built for two?"
[Luan pedals away from Tall Timbers Park while Ronnie Anne and a frightened Lincoln pursue her closely. Luan glances back and notices them behind her, and as she passes Flip and Nacho, she grabs Nacho's pitcher of lemonade and tosses it into the air. The pitcher falls on Ronnie Anne and Lincoln and covers them in lemonade, while Nacho chatters angrily.]
[Next, Luan pedals by Mr. Grouse, who is hanging laundry on his clothesline. She grabs the line and pulls on it, and it knocks her pursuers off the skateboard...but it also flings away Mr. Grouse's clothes.]
Mr. Grouse: "Ah! My undies!"
Ronnie Anne: "Quick! She's getting away!" [She and Lincoln get back on the skateboard and race off.]


[Luan pedals over to Hunnicutt Farms, and she cackles as she knocks over a butter churner. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne slip on the butter and are flung off their skateboard.]
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne: "Whoa-oh-oh! Ah!" [They land by a cornfield, and the skateboard hits them on the head, then they stand up.]
Lincoln: "A giant corn maze? The Hunnicutts have never had this. It's got Luan written all over it."
Ronnie Anne: "Yeah, literally." [She points to a sign and reads it.] "Luan's Maze of Corn-fusion."
[Just then, Virginia stumbles out of the corn and grunts in despair, then she collapses.]
Lincoln: [He walks over, takes off his helmet, and comforts her.] "Oh, poor Virginia. How long were you in there, girl?"
Ronnie Anne: "Come on, Lincoln. There's only five minutes left!"
Lincoln: [He is stunned by the giant corn maze, but he exhales sharply.] "Here goes nothing!"
[Lincoln runs into the maze, followed by Ronnie Anne. But she peeks out and glances at Virginia, who grunts again.]
Ronnie Anne: "Hmmm..."
Lincoln: "Careful." [Ronnie Anne catches up.] "There are probably traps everywhere." [He steps on a snare wire, and they stop. A sack of horse manure strung above them falls onto them.]
Ronnie Anne: "Like that?" [They stand up and shake themselves off.]
Lincoln: "Agh, horse manure. Lovely."
[Luan is heard laughing as the corn shakes behind them. They peek into a corridor and gasp as they see Luan's silhouette in front of them. Ronnie Anne takes a pie out of her backpack and throws it, but what it hits is a scarecrow that resembles Luan. Eight crows appear from behind it, looking annoyed.]
[Lincoln and Ronnie Anne run away screaming as the flock of crows chase them around the maze. They duck into the corn as the crows fly away above them, and then they peek out.]
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne: "Phew."
[They suddenly notice what looks like Luan's ponytail, so they come out of the corn and slink from wall to wall as they get closer. They come up right behind the ponytail.]
Ronnie Anne: [takes a water balloon out from her backpack] "Prankster's tip: Always carry a water balloon."
[Ronnie Anne throws the water balloon at the ponytail, but when it backs up, it is an actual pony. Having been hit by the water balloon, the pony angrily snarls at the two. They chuckle nervously, but are then chased by the angry pony. They hide in the corn again as the pony gallops away, then they come out again. But Lincoln steps on a button, causing them to be blasted by honey and cornmeal. Right away, the crows corner them again.]
Ronnie Anne: "Oh, no." [They scream as the crows attack them in a fight cloud, and then they collapse in despair, covered in feathers.] "Honey and cornmeal. Luan, you're a monster."


[The screen fades to show the sun getting lower in the sky as the two kids continue running through the maze.]
Ronnie Anne: "We've looked everywhere! She must've left!"
Lincoln: [He stops and notices an exit.] "There's an exit!" [They run for the exit, but they hit a wall--which is a painting of the way out. Walls collapse around them, and they sit up.] "Not an exit."
[They look up and see a bunch of haybales tied together as a prison hanging above them. The crane drops them around the two.]
Luan: "Hay, guys!" [They look up and see Luan standing on top of the prison.] "Guess you're too late. Sorry, but you can always retake my class, Ronnie Anne. You clearly still have a lot to learn--" [Suddenly, the hay Luan is standing on shakes.] "Whoa! Why am I moving?" [A forklift lifts the wall underneath Luan, which is shown to be driven by Virginia.]
Lincoln: "Virginia?"
Ronnie Anne: [She and Lincoln escape the hay prison.] "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Go, girl, go!"
[Virginia flings Luan into a mud puddle behind her, then she drops a sack of cornmeal onto her, causing the crows to attack her.]
Luan: [shocked she was bested] "Wha... Well done, Ronnie Anne! How'd you pull it off?"
Ronnie Anne: "When I saw Virginia outside, I remembered..." [The screen fades to when Ronnie Anne saw Virginia.] "'Work with what you've got.' I knew I'd need some help to beat you, so Virginia and I came up with this plan." [Fades back to the present] "Luckily, animal training is also part of the class."
Luan: "Ronnie Anne, I couldn't be prouder."
Ronnie Anne: [She helps Luan up.] "Well, I did learn from the master."
Luan: [She hands Ronnie Anne her diploma.] "You earned this."
Ronnie Anne: [She takes it and gasps, then she hugs Luan.] "Thanks, Luan." [She turns and fist bumps Lincoln and Virginia.]
[Behind Luan, Benny sneaks up and tries to throw a pie at her, but she pulls a rope and trips Benny, who falls in the mud. The four of them stand over him.]
Luan: "Nice try, Benny, but I heard you coming."
Benny: "Dang it, I'm never gonna graduate!" [The pie lands on his face, and he licks it.] "Mmm, at least it's banana cream." [The screen irises out on him as the episode ends.]
