"Raw Deal" is the forty-second episode of the first season of The Loud House.

Plot[]

Lincoln becomes a hypochondriac when Lucy reads his fortune, and predicts that his day will end in disaster.

Synopsis[]

The Loud family is going to be spending their day at Grand Venture State Park. To pass the time on the drive, Lucy suggests that they play with her fortune-telling cards. She predicts that Lori will go on a long trip (Lori thinks it means she'll go to Italy with Bobby), the universe will open doors for Lola, Luan will soon be blown away, and Lisa will make a scientific discovery before entering the park, although Lisa doesn't believe it. When Lucy gets to Lincoln, however, she's too horrified to reveal his fortune. Desperate on what his fortune is, Lucy tells Lincoln that his day will end in "tragedy".

When the family takes a break at a gas station, all except Lincoln exit the van, with Lincoln explaining that he's worried about Lucy's prediction. Suddenly, Lori slips on some oil and crashes into a pile of garbage. As Lori contemplates on how embarrassing that was, Lucy reveals to Lori that she had taken a "long trip", thus making her prediction true (much to Lori's disappointment). As Dad fills the tires with air, he accidentally "blows away" Luan with the air hose. As the Loud kids enter the store, a man named Mr. Universe leaves the door open for Lola. These two turns of events prove that Lucy's predictions are real, much to Lincoln's dismay. Inside the store, Lynn struggles to hold her pee in ("Your patience will be tested."), Leni falls in love with a pair of hiking boots ("You will fall in love."), Lana finds a dollar in the toilet ("You will become filty rich."), and Luna gets two bags for the price of one from a vending machine ("You will be rewarded double."). These events only lead Lincoln to become more paranoid, but Lisa tells him that all these events are just pure coincidence. Lincoln realizes that Lisa's fortune hasn't happened yet, and theorizes that if her fortune doesn't come true, his fortune won't be true as well.

The family arrives to Grand Venture State Park, and Lincoln tries to hurry his sisters into going into the park so Lisa doesn't make a scientific discovery. Before Lisa can enter the park, a giant egg falls in front of her, and it immediately hatches, revealing an owl with deer antlers. This happens to be Lisa's "scientific discovery", causing Lincoln to become more panic-stricken, believing that his fortune is bound to come true. Lisa then proceeds to show the park ranger her newest discovery.

Throughout the day, the family enjoys the visit at the park, and partake in fun activities like exploring a cavern, swimming in the lake, enjoying the breathtaking scenery, fishing, and having a picnic. However, Lincoln refuses to partake in any of them, giving over-exaggerated reasons that something bad might happen to him.

Later, Lisa has set up a press conference to show off the owl with antlers (which she now calls "the Dowl"). As the family and several news stations watch Lisa show off her latest discovery, the antlers suddenly fall off and Lisa discovers they have "Made in China" written on them. Suspicious, Lisa demands the Park Ranger to explain what's going on, and he admits that it was all a hoax; he did this because nobody has come to the park in years ever since its geyser stopped erupting and thought a little publicity stunt would bring people back. When Lisa tells everybody that the "Dowl" was nothing but a sham, Lincoln realizes that Lucy's fortune for Lisa wasn't true, and all his worrying made him miss out on all the fun, meaning that his day really did end in tragedy.

As the family is about leave, Lincoln, saddened that he missed out on all the fun due to his own paranoia, tells the viewers that the lesson he learned is that you should never live your life in fear, or else you'll miss out on all of it, and that would be a tragedy. Suddenly, Lincoln feels the ground vibrate and hears a loud boom in the distance. He looks through a bush, and notices that it's the park's geyser erupting for the first time in years, and he's the only one to witness it. Lincoln tries to tell his sisters about his amazing discovery, but they're all too tired to listen. Regardless, Lincoln proclaims that he did have the best day ever.

S1E21B The end fortune card

"Told ya. The cards don't lie."

Lisa, still skeptical about everything that happened, asks Lucy if she's going to toss her cards away, since her and Lincoln's fortunes never came true. Lucy, wanting to dispute her younger sister's beliefs, pulls out one last card that reads "The end is near." When Lisa tries to deny this, a "The End" title card pops up, making Lucy's fortune come true.

Trivia[]

  • This is the last episode where Grant Palmer voices Lincoln in airing order.
  • A cartoon depiction of storyboard artist Kyle Marshall appears at the gas station, as a cashier.
  • Lucy breaks the fourth wall at the end by saying "The end is near", and literally, a second later, the episode ends.
  • Lisa's prediction was the only prediction that was fake, while Lincoln's prediction was half-true (he made his day end in tragedy by skipping all the fun, but watching the geyser erupt made everything up). Everyone else's were based on literal interpretations.
  • At the top of Lucy's cards, there's a Roman numeral on each of them.
    • Interestingly enough, the numerals on everyone's card corresponds to their birth order (Lana's card has IIX, a variant of 8, which is normally represented as VIII), with the exception of Luan and Lola's cards.
      • Though, Luan and Lola's cards have each other's birth orders (i.e. Luan's card has the IX and Lola's has the IV numerals).
  • The images on each sibling's card:
    • Lincoln - the Grim Reaper
    • Lori - a galleon sailing
    • Leni - two arrows piercing a heart
    • Luna - two robed women each holding a chalice
    • Luan - a knight on his horse about to be blown away
    • Lynn - an hourglass
    • Lana - a pile of coins
    • Lola - a castle door opening to outer space
    • Lisa - a wizard holding a crystal ball
  • Lucy's predictions and results:
    • Lincoln - "Your day in the park will end in tragedy." (He missed out on all the fun out of panic, though seeing the geyser erupt made everything up)
    • Lori - "You will go on a long trip." (She slips on some oil and falls, making the "long trip")
    • Leni - "You will fall in love." (She falls in love with a pair of boots)
    • Luna - "You will be rewarded double." (She gets two snacks from a vending machine for the price of one)
    • Luan - "You will soon be blown away." (She gets "blown away" by the air hose Lynn Sr. was using)
    • Lynn - "Your patience will be tested." (She has to wait in line for the restroom)
    • Lana - "You will become filthy rich." (She finds a dollar in the restroom)
    • Lola - "The universe will open doors for you." (A man named Mr. Universe leaves the gas station door open for her)
    • Lisa - "You will make an amazing scientific discovery before entering the park today." (She discovers the "dowl" before entering the park, which later turns out to be a hoax)
    • Final prediction - "The end is near." (The episode ends)
      • Lily was Lucy's only sibling who she did not give a prediction for.
  • Irony: If Lincoln didn't pressure Lucy about his fortune, then he would not have wasted his time.

Errors[]

S1E21B Lola thanking Mr

Lisa is so science-y, that she can break people's arms just by walking behind them.

S1E21B Second logical conclusion

Fourth logical conclusion: Lisa has too many fingers.

  • When Lana tries to get Lincoln to get in the lake, she is drawn differently.
  • When Lola thanks Mr. Universe, part of her left arm disappears when Lisa walks behind her.
  • Despite getting hit on the head, Luan rubs her arm instead of her head.
  • At the beginning of the episode, the Louds pass by a sign that says "MI 2014". Later, when Lynn throws her football, they pass by that same sign again.
  • Right before Lynn cannonballs into the lake, Luna disappears between frames.
  • When Lisa says "Second logical conclusion.", her hand appears to have five fingers instead of four.
  • In this episode, Lola has no issue with using worms as bait for fishing, but in "Patching Things Up", she got sick upon seeing a worm.
  • Possible: In this episode, Lisa does not believe in superstitions, but in "No Such Luck", she does believe in superstitions. However, in the latter episode, Lisa does initially disbelieve in them.
