When Lincoln finds a letter in the attic, he begins to believe there is money hidden somewhere in the house.
Synopsis[]
In the Loud house, money is hard to come by, so any amount of money is seen as precious. When Lincoln finds a quarter between the sofa cushions, his sisters fight with him to get their hands on it. Lynn Sr. calls a halt to the fight, and makes the kids clean the attic as punishment for their greed, and roughhousing for the money.
A letter of the previous "owner" of the house gives the siblings a clue on more money...
While cleaning, Lincoln discovers a letter that claims to have been written by the previous owner of the house, Sharon DeMonet, who claimed that her family always fought over money, and that she has hidden a stash of money for the finder of the letter to locate. Lincoln tells his sisters of the letter, but they don't appear to believe his claims of the hidden money. It turns out they did believe it, and they begin searching the house to find it. When Lincoln finds out, they brawl again, and Lynn Sr. tells them to stop fighting, and finish cleaning the attic.
Back in the attic, Lincoln re-reads the letter and decides to follow a potential clue by looking in a mirror. Sure enough, he finds a second letter in the reflection, which reveals another letter from Sharon DeMonet. Lincoln reads the letter, and says that to find the next clue, they need to "get to the bottom of the matter". This causes him and his sisters to rampage through the house, searching every nook and cranny as a hopeful spot for the money (though when they notice Lily napping while searching her and Lisa's room, they take an extra precaution of keeping their fight/search as quiet as possible). Upset that they haven't found anything yet, the sisters attack Lincoln to get the letter, believing it contains another clue that Lincoln left out. However, their struggle to retrieve the letter only results in them destroying it.
As the kids begin to complain that their clue to finding the money is destroyed, Lincoln snaps some sense into his sisters by reminding them that if they keep on acting like this, they won't get any closer to finding the money. Realizing that he's right, the sisters decide to bury the hatchet, and promise to work together from now on. Lily walks in to the hallway, having woken up from her nap, and they find an envelope taped to her diaper. Inside is a map that tells them where the treasure is hidden. They follow the map and it leads them to a big, red "X" in the backyard. Lincoln and Lucy dig it up (with the extra help of Lana) and they find a suitcase containing $500, which they split evenly, for all eleven of them, meaning that they each get $45.45.
The parents are happy that their kids worked together.
Back in the house, the Loud parents watch their kids celebrate their discovery outside. It is revealed that Lynn Sr. invented the whole "Sharon DeMonet" charade to teach his kids to work together and share, and that the money they found was his work bonus. But since his plan ended up causing so much damage around the house, Rita forces him to clean it all up. As he cleans the attic, Lynn Sr. tells the viewers that he is glad his kids are sharing the money, and how in their house, there isn't a lot to go around. Afterwards, he ends up finding a dime, but when he goes to pick it up, he accidentally hits the loose floorboard that Lincoln hit earlier.

Top: The promotional image. Bottom: This episode's title card.
The position of characters on the title card resembles one of the show's promotional images. The only differences are, aside from the added money, Leni and Luan have switched places, some of the characters having angrier expressions, and Luna's teeth not showing.
The name "Sharon DeMonet" is a pun on "sharing the money."
This episode reveals that Lana is an excellent digger, and Lucy has experience digging holes, given her passion of digging graves.
This episode was released on Jessica DiCicco's 36th birthday.
Leni reveals that she wears hairpins (as she uses one to unlock the suitcase). She also remarks, "There's more to my head than just air, you know.", which implies that she is aware that she is not very smart.
Lincoln and Lisa are the only siblings who searched for the money on their own, while Lily is the only sibling not to get involved in the money search at all (because she was napping, as well as the fact that she is a baby).
Lisa says that each one of the siblings (herself included) would get $45.45 if they split the $500 evenly for 11 people. If that's the case, there would be a nickel remaining, since $45.45 times 11 people would equate to $499.95.
Also, Lisa says that $500 divided by 11 people equals $45.454545..., since the result isn't a whole number.
Leni suggests splitting the quarter 40/40, like she said about the last pizza slice in the short "Slice of Life".
Luan can be seen hugging a tree during the siblings' celebration of finding the money, which seems to be a nod to how she "became" an activist in "Butterfly Effect." It could also be a reference to the term "tree-hugger", which refers to an environmentalist.
When the kids are in the attic the second time, Leni is holding a box labeled "Morgan 88," which is a reference to series prop designer Jared Morgan.
Foreshadowing: Lincoln questioned that Sharon DeMonet somehow knew her note would be on Lily's diaper.
Irony:
Lynn Sr. warned the kids about the loose floorboard in the attic, but he completely forgot about it while cleaning the attic himself.
The parents wanted to teach the kids to share, but Lynn Sr. kept a dime to himself.
Innuendo: When Lana chases Charles he steals her dollar, she said that she would it get back from him even if it came out his "other end." Lana eventually gets her dollar back, although it is seen covered in a brown substance.
References[]
It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud, House - The title and plot of this episode reference the 1963 Stanley Kramer film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
It also references the last line of the theme song.
Ouija - When Lucy is trying to contact "Sharon DeMonet's spirit," she was using this object most commonly associated with seances.
Sherlock Holmes - Luan refers to Lincoln as this fictional private detective.
Errors[]
The comma after the fourth "Loud" in the title is grammatically incorrect. DirecTV actually corrects this grammatical error by writing the title as "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House," without said comma.
After searching in Lisa and Lily's room, the former's glasses are cracked on the left side. Later, when they rip the letter, Lisa's glasses are cracked on the right side.
Leni is missing her sunglasses.
When Lynn Sr. mentions the dark corner in the attic, Leni doesn't have her sunglasses.
Did Lori mixed up her shoe during the attack? And did she grow an extra toe?
When the siblings walked out of Lily's room, Lori is wearing both her shoes, as the siblings attack Lincoln to get the letter, Lori's right foot is bare, and she still has her shoe on her left, but when they argue after ripping the letter, Lori's left foot is bare, and her right foot is not. Also a close up shows that Lori has five toes on her left foot rather than four.
This fight was so senselessly brutal, sisters are losing pieces of themselves!
When Lynn Sr. breaks up the second fight, Lisa, Lana and Lola's bodies are missing.
Also, Lori's left arm and leg are missing, too.
They were also gone while she and the other siblings were cheering in excitement about finding money.
In the Latin American Spanish dub of the episode, Lincoln's line "Oh, Lola" was replaced by the line "Entregamelo, mortal" ("Give me that, mortal.", said by Lucy).
In another scene, Lola and Luna's respective lines "Dining Room" and "Living Room" are swapped.
In the European Spanish dub of the episode, when Luna responds to Leni ("Yeah, dream on!"), she speaks in plural.
During Lana's line "It's mine!", she sounds almost like Lola.
Plot hole: Leni's line, "There's more to my head than just air, you [my siblings] know," implying that she knows that her siblings consider her as an airhead. However in "Ties That Bind", she has difficulty with finding out the "dumb one."
Lori lost her eyelashes while she was celebrating. Also, her arms and Leni's are dislocated.
When Lori is seen celebrating at the near end of the episode, her eyelashes are missing when her eyes are open, and her arms and Leni's are dislocated.
Lola's line "Look what you did!" is heard twice, barely heard the first time before the siblings rips the dollar.
