Plot[]

Tired of not having a space of his own, Bobby secretly moves into a vacant apartment unit in the building.

Synopsis[]

In the Casagrandes apartment, Bobby is talking to Lori on the phone as she talks about her week. Bobby then trips over Carlitos's toy car. CJ and Carl come into the room, and Carl snags Bobby's phone with his sticky hand. Ronnie Anne then comes in looking for her skateboard and checks under the couch, sending Bobby flying. Bobby tells Lori he'll go to another room to talk to her, but he leans on Ronnie Anne's skateboard, careening out of the room and falling down the stairs to the entrance to the apartment. He tells Lori that there is no peace and quiet around him and that he wishes he had his own apartment. Jean-Philippe comes over with some news that he's moving out after getting a job in Paris. Lori tells Bobby he can move into Jean-Philippe's apartment. He likes the idea, but he knows Rosa won't allow it since she doesn't like when her bebés leave the nest.

Back in Apartment 2A, Bobby is talking to Maria and Rosa. After imagining a worst-case scenario in which he tells them he's moving out and both Maria and Rosa would freak out, he tells them how much he loves and appreciates them. Bobby then calls Lori in Jean-Philippe's former apartment and tells her he moved out without telling them. He shows her how he improvises on furniture and suggests sneaking in his mattress from his room. Bobby sneaks back to Apartment 2A, enters his room, and nabs his mattress. He then tries to leave, but Rosa comes by to help get Hector's arm out of the toilet, and Maria enters on the phone with Arturo. Bobby drags the mattress back to his old room, opens the window, and accidentally has it fall over the balcony before also falling back to the ground. He lands on the ground and notices a chair.

Bobby moves the chair to his apartment when he gets a phone call from Ronnie Anne saying Rosa won't start dinner until he's there. He jumps out the window, climbs up the fire escape stairs to his room, and enters the kitchen before taking a seat with the family. Rosa tells him he was knocking on his door, to which Bobby responds that he was working out. His phone rings, and it's Lori. She tells Bobby to let his family know the truth about him moving out, but Bobby tells her they don't suspect a thing. He heads back to dinner as Rosa is talking about how they can't wait for their class. Hector tells Bobby Jean-Philippe gives them baking lessons, and the class starts at 8. Bobby heads back to his room, knowing he can't let the family know that Jean-Philippe has moved out. He comes with the idea that he can learn to cook pastries, speak French, and disguise himself as Jean-Philippe. He takes the fire escape and enters the mercado, grabbing as many ingredients as he can. He places ingredients on the counter, checks his cupboards, and sees he doesn't have any cooking supplies to bake. He climbs back down the fire escape and jumps back into his old room, only to see his family about to leave. He hastily grabs cooking supplies and goes back to his apartment. He finds a video on baking pastries and can use his earbuds to listen. He hears a knock on the door, and it's Rosa, Hector, and Maria, ready for their class. Bobby checks the oven door and sees that he doesn't look like Jean-Philippe. He disguises himself as Jean-Philippe and opens the door.

Maria asks why he has dough all over his face, to which Bobby says it's huge in Paris. Maria, Hector, and Rosa rub dough on their faces and are ready to start the lesson. While making the pastries, he gets a call from Lori, but he hangs up and accidentally skips the video to a man folding a paper airplane. He tries to pause the video and accidentally switches to a video of a woman making a pot. Rosa puts the dough inside the oven and sets it to 1000 degrees, and it instantly catches fire. Hector then recognizes the chair and notices that it appears to be infested with bugs, similar to the one he assisted Mr. Nakamura in throwing out. Bobby tries to tell him not to sit, but Hector sits on the chair and gets attacked by the bugs. Bobby tries to shoo them away and gets attacked by them, too. The fire alarm beeps from the oven, and Bobby tries to open it, but the smoke disintegrates his mask. Maria and Rosa are shocked to see Bobby. He tells them Jean-Philippe moved to Paris, and he's been living in his apartment. He also tells them that there is so much chaos at home that he needs his own space. Maria tells Bobby that he's an adult and can make his own decisions. Bobby asks if he can still live in the apartment, and Rosa and Maria say he can, plus he is always welcome at their apartment for meals, and they share a hug.

Bobby has now officially moved into the apartment and is on the phone with Lori, telling her how she can't wait to see the apartment when she comes to visit. She tells him how grown up he is and gives him a kiss. He hangs up and falls asleep; it then cuts to Rosa in a secret lair, monitoring her entire family.

Trivia[]

  • This episode makes The Casagrandes the first series in the Loud House franchise to conclude its broadcast. (Not counting A Loud House Christmas: Behind the Scenes, which is a web-exclusive mini-series that documents the production of the live-action film A Loud House Christmas.)
    • The fact that this episode made its premiere on Nickelodeon also makes the series the first Nicktoon to finish its run on the main network since Sanjay and Craig, which concluded its broadcast in 2016.
    • Coincidentally, Sanjay and Craig also had three seasons with 20 episodes each.
  • This episode shares its title card music with "Operation Popstar", "15 Candles", and "Nixed Signals".
  • This is the only Casagrandes season finale episode to be aired in production order.
  • As of this episode, Bobby now lives in his own apartment.
  • The final shot of this episode (and the entire series) is of the Casagrande apartment at nighttime.
    • Coincidentally, the first shot of the series premiere, "Going Overboard", was of the Casagrande apartment during the day.
  • The blocks that Carlitos was playing with at the beginning of the episode spelled out "LODH", a possible nod to the parent series.
  • This episode reveals that when Carlos left for college, he got so homesick that he begged Rosa to move in with him.
  • Bobby's idea of not telling his plans to Maria and Rosa is similar to Benny avoiding telling Luan that she is fired in the Loud House episode "Puns and Buns".
  • The premise of this episode is similar to those of the Loud House episodes "Garage Banned", "The Mad Scientist", and "For Sale by Loner", as all of them involve a person wanting to move to a more peaceful location after becoming fed up by the chaos triggered by the large crowds among them.
    • However, unlike Lori, Lisa, and Mr. Grouse, Bobby did not eventually become homesick and decided to remain where he was instead of moving back to his old place.
  • Bobby's situation at the end of the episode would eventually be mirrored by Lori at the end of "Homeward Bound" as both now live in independent residences, despite still being physically close to their respective families.
  • Due to the nature of this being the final episode of the series, this is also the final episode:
  • Rosa has the last line of the series: "Sweet dreams, mijo."
  • Irony: When Ronnie Anne asked Bobby about his whereabouts, he lied that he was in his room. However, he was technically still in his room because he had moved into Jean-Philippe's former apartment.
