"Road Trip: Screen Queen" is the fourteenth episode of the seventh season, the three-hundred-ninth episode of The Loud House, and the sixth episode of the Road Trip story arc. Plot[]When the Louds' road trip takes them to Hollywood, Lola is determined to become a star and land a leading role. Synopsis[]Continuing on their road trip[1], the Louds are in Hollywood, California, having just finished the tour at the film studio Tip Top Studios. As the Louds look over some of their favorite photos of the tour, Lola discovers the stage where they film the Dakota Rhoda film series, and decides to take a peek. Inside, she overhears the director of the film, Nora Nussebaum, stating that they're about to start shooting the film tomorrow, and they still haven't found the actress to play the lead character (as the old actress had recently turned 42). Seeing this as her golden opportunity to be star in a feature film, Lola decides to present herself to Nora as her new star, but Nora turns her down, saying that she only hires actors with a lot of buzz. Determined to land the role, Lola asks her family to help her land the role of Dakota Rhoda, and despite her parents saying that stardom isn't always all that's cracked up to be, they agree to help her. Sometime later, as Nora goes on about her day, she repeatedly encounters the Louds, who attempt to paint Lola as the biggest star around, which consists of them pretending to be her biggest fans, her bodyguards, or film directors trying to get Lola to star in their films. Because of all this buzz, Nora becomes convinced that Lola is a big star and immediately asks her to be in her film, to which Lola eagerly accepts. The next day, Lola eagerly arrives on set to start filming. However, instead of getting pampered like she was expecting, she ends up enduring the many obstacles of being a movie star. First, Lola has to swing on a vine to get over a large gap, and succeeds after her last few attempts end in failure. Second, she spends 99 takes trying to find the right voice to give the character (only for Nora to tell her that her original voice is the best). Third, she faces several different struggles while at her trailer, like her costume designer constantly pricking her with a needle while fixing a dress on her, getting large stacks of script revisions, and callers asking her unflattering questions. These struggles prove to be the final straw for Lola, so she decides to approach Nora and tell her that she wants to quit. Unfortunately, Nora tells her that, according to her contract, she can't quit until she turns 42. As Lola dejectedly walks away, she overhears Nora saying that she doesn't work with divas after she threatens to fire one of the animal actors, a snake named Keith, for refusing to act until his request is fulfilled. With this knowledge, Lola asks her family into helping her get fired from the movie, and they agree, saying that getting kicked out of things is a cinch for them. The next day, as Lola prepares to film more shots, she begins to act like a complete diva in front of Nora. This ranges from her saying that she only listens to her acting coach (Mr. Coconuts), being indecisive on where her trailer should be (with Lynn personally moving it herself), having Lori and Leni apply copious amounts of makeup on her, demanding a cup of orange juice from Rita, and Lynn Sr. rushing in to give her no-pulp juice. Fed up with all that has transpired (especially when Lynn Sr. accidentally sets two stage lights on fire), Nora angrily fires Lola, to which she nonchalantly accepts. Cast[]
