"Singled Out" is the thirty-third episode of the fourth season, and the one-hundred-eighty-second episode of The Loud House.
Feeling like a third wheel when her teammates find significant others, Lynn seeks a boyfriend just to fit in.
Synopsis[]
At the Royal Woods Roller Rink, Lynn's roller derby team, the Royal Woods Roller Queens, has won the game. Wanting to celebrate their victory, Lynn suggests they go to the Burpin' Burger. Her teammates agree and ask if they can bring their dates with them and Lynn reluctantly agrees. At the Burpin' Burger, Lynn can't sit with her teammates due to their dates filling their booth. This results in Lynn having to sit at the kiddie table. Afterwards, the roller derby team heads to Gus' Games and Grub to play some games. Lynn manages to get the high score on the basketball game, but her teammates are too distracted playing games with their dates. This makes Lynn leave early. At the Loud House, Lynn is watching sports bloopers on TV, when Lucy suddenly appears. Lynn bemoans that she feels like a third wheel because she's the only one who doesn't have a date. This gives Lynn the idea that to fit in, she must get a boyfriend.
It seems that Lynn is left out without a date.
Lynn attempts to find a boyfriend through various methods. First, she tries to race the track runners, but they leave when they realize that they can't keep up with her. Second, she tries to hold an arm wrestling contest, but she beats everyone effortlessly. Third, Lynn decides to give all the boys very spicy burgers, which none of them can tolerate (even burning the whole world to a crisp). However, one boy can actually tolerate the burger. Lynn introduces herself, and the boy introduces himself as Dexter.
The next day, Lynn and her teammates win another game of roller derby and Lynn introduces Dexter to her teammates, who cheer over the fact that she has a date now. Arriving to Burpin' Burger, Lynn gets her meal, but starts to show signs of not knowing how a relationship works, like refusing to share her milkshake and not letting Dexter clean her face, which grabs the attention of the teammates. Lynn, not wanting to give the wrong impression to her friends, reluctantly agrees to let Dexter do things with her. At Gus', Lynn is challenged by one of her friends for a game of ping pong, but Dexter's clumsiness causes him and Lynn to lose.
Arriving to Dairyland, Lynn wants to go all out and have fun, but her teammates decide to spend their visit doing romantic activities together with their dates. This causes Lynn to escort Dexter into a private discussion where she states that she wants to break up, since dating is not her forte. Dexter reveals that the only reason why he agreed to go out with Lynn was because he was constantly ridiculed for not getting a girlfriend. Seeing how they're not big on dating, the two share a laugh.
Dates or not, the five of them are still the best of sporty friends. :)
The next day, at the Burpin' Burger, Lynn orders her meal and decides to sit at the kiddie table, where she proceeds to have a squirt bottle fight with a little kid. Seeing how much fun Lynn is having by being alone, her teammates temporarily excuse themselves from their dates to join her.

This episode seems to have given some insight to Lynn's current status with Francisco, her crush from "L is for Love". When Lynn was talking with Lucy, she comments "I thought I had a crush once, but it turned out I was just dehydrated." By this logic, it indicates that Lynn only ever had feelings for Francisco because she was delusional.
The ending is similar to "A Tale of Two Tables," where Lynn also joins the kiddie table and has fun there, albeit also initially irritated by the activities that occurred there.
Hope my Loud House fans enjoyed today’s Valentine’s Day episodes!! I am obsessed with how cute Lainey and Alice are! It was important to Karla and the whole writing team that in an episode about coupling up we had LGBTQ representation. It was definitely worth fighting for ❤️🌈 Feb 15, 2020[1]
Lynn's friends' crushes:
Margo - Elliot
Nadia - Theo
Maddie - Kaito
Lainey - Alice
Lainey, one of Lynn's teammates, is shown to be dating another girl, Alice, making this episode the third to introduce a same-sex couple after "Overnight Success" and "L is for Love".
According to Sammie Crowley, Karla Sakas Shropshire and the writing team really wanted to put a same-sex couple into this Valentine's Day themed episode.
Innuendo: A narrator on the sports injuries DVD exclaims "Yikes, and that's why you always wear a helmet," and Lynn and Lucy react with shock, implying a severe head injury.
Irony: Lynn was wearing goggles for protection against the heat of the hot burgers, but she removed them just before people began breathing fire.
Cartoon physics: When the boys try out the spicy burgers, the fire is enough to burn up the whole world to a crisp.

Errors[]
Plot hole: Grant works at Burpin' Burger despite since "Cooked!" he started working at Lynn's Table. However, it's possible that this episode takes place before "Cooked!" It is also possible that he works both jobs.
Lainey has different hair color than she had in "Lock 'n' Loud". She likely dyed it after that episode.
