"The Orchid Grief" is the thirty-fifth episode of the sixth season, and the two-hundred-eighty-first episode of The Loud House. Plot[]When Lincoln and Clyde overwater Howard's rare orchid, the two embark on an adventure to replace it. Synopsis[]  The orchid dies. At the McBride house, Clyde is doing chores. Suddenly, Lincoln arrives to tell Clyde that a new limited edition David Steele comic made of actual steel has recently been released and wants to get a copy with him. When Clyde says that he has to deal with his chores first, Lincoln decides to help him if it means getting the tasks done quicker. Later, as Lincoln waters the plants, he comes across an orchid on the table and proceeds to water it. Suddenly, Clyde, witnessing this, quickly attempts to stop Lincoln, but is too late. Clyde informs Lincoln that the plant he just watered was an "eternal love orchid", which is only supposed to be fed one milliliter of water every 12 hours, and because Lincoln inadvertently overwatered it, it dies. Clyde tells Lincoln that they can't throw it away without Howard and Harold noticing, explaining that Harold gave this flower to Howard on their first date, and Howard gets incredibly emotional whenever it blooms, as he sees it as a symbol of their love. Lincoln suggests that they get a replacement, but Clyde says that the task will be difficult, since this type of flower can't be bought at a normal flower store. Suddenly, Lincoln gets the idea to ask Lisa if she can revive the dead plant but says that she can't. However, to their luck, there's a nearby swamp where the orchid grows, but warns the two boys that the terrain there is "harsh and unforgiving". Later, Lincoln and Clyde arrive to the swamp where the orchid grows. Lincoln and Clyde think the task of getting the flower will be easier than expected when their GPS tells them it's nearby, but Lisa's words about the swamp being harsh and unforgiving prove to be true, as the two boys encounter many dangers like giant mosquitoes, alligator-infested waters, quicksand, and "Venus man traps". After overcoming each danger, the two boys manage to reach the orchid, when suddenly, an unidentified individual in a beekeeper's outfit arrives and steals the flower. Because of this, Lincoln and Clyde proclaim that that they have to get the flower from them.   Lincoln tries to recover the orchid...   ...only to realize that Harold had taken it. Catching up to the thief, Lincoln and Clyde discover them escaping on an airboat. Grabbing hold of the rope attached to the boat, Lincoln and Clyde attempt to reach for the flower, when suddenly, a piranha jumps out and cuts the rope, causing the two boys to get launched in the air and land in a boat being controlled by Mr. Bolhofner, who is giving swamp tours for elders (which includes Scoots, Seymour and Bernie). Lincoln and Clyde ask Mr. Bolhofner if he can help them chase after a thief, and Mr. Bolhofner, initially refusing, agrees after being told that their mission is about love (as he used to be in love himself). During the chase, Mr. Bolhofner is snagged by a tree branch, forcing Scoots to take control. Reaching the boat, Lincoln and Clyde are shocked to discover that the thief is Harold, who is also shocked to see the boys here. When Lincoln begins to fall out of the boat, Harold catches him, causing him to accidentally let's go of the orchid, where it's shredded by the fan on his airboat. When the three boys exclaim that the orchid is destroyed, they discover that they all had the same goal of trying to get it; Lincoln and Clyde wanted to get it so they can replace the one they accidentally overwatered, and Harold wanted to get it after he found the old one missing (and admits to having killed it multiple times and secretly replaced it before Howard ever noticed.) Because they no longer have the orchid to replace the old one, Lincoln, Clyde and Harold realize that the only thing left to do is to tell Howard the truth, which will likely result in a lot of tears. At the McBride house later that evening, Lincoln, Clyde and Harold tell Howard what they had done to the orchid. Suddenly, to the three boys' shock, Howard is actually happy that the orchid is gone. Howard explains that as much as he loved the flower, he didn't like the fact that he arranged his whole schedule around it due to the amount of maintenance it required (admitting he too has killed it multiple times and went through the hassle of replacing it), and reveals that every time the orchid bloomed, what was thought to be tears of joy was actually him being upset that he would never be rid of it. After Howard tells them that he never needed the orchid to be reminded of how much he loves Harold (even mentioning the trouble they went through just to replace it as an example of how much they cared about him), Lincoln and Clyde are upset that they're going to miss out on getting the David Steele comic they wanted earlier, as the comic store will close in 10 minutes. However, Harold and Howard decide to take them there... by riding in the airboat. Cast[]
