"White Hare" (originally titled "Hide nor Hare") is the second episode of the third season and one-hundred-third episode of The Loud House.
Lincoln is planning on meeting a new girl in town, and wants to make a good first impression. Donning a leather jacket, some slick shades, a temporary tattoo, and a book featuring slang, Lincoln is prepared to leave, but his sisters catch him trying to sneak out. Lincoln tries to convince them that he has nothing to hide, but Clyde calls him up, and unknowingly reveals that Lincoln is planning on introducing himself to a new girl. The sisters offer to help, but Lincoln, remembering the last time his sisters meddled with his private business,[1] refuses, and runs away from the house. In the woods, Lincoln decides to hide until the bus arrives. As he relaxes, he discovers a male rabbit hopping by, and being crowded by his 25 sisters. When Lincoln imagines how difficult it is to live with 15 extra sisters, he gets startled, and hits his head on a tree branch, causing him to fall unconscious and start dreaming.
Lincoln, now a rabbit named Warren, tries to leave the house, but gets caught by his 25 sisters. Warren tries to convince them that he has nothing to hide, but his friend, a beaver named Danny, unknowingly reveals Warren's plans, and the sisters eventually begin to meddle. Not wanting to be interfered, Warren attempts to run away, but just before Warren can escape, he is caught and the sisters eventually strip Warren of all his wardrobe, and make him wear a simple lavender polo shirt, as well as give off some advice they consider useful, and an assortment of items, such as a bunch of books, a kelp smoothie, allergy test pads, and a lucky rabbit's foot (much to everyone's disgust).
Upon leaving, Warren encounters the new girl, and attempts to give off a first good impression using his sister's advice, but only ends up making the new girl more uncomfortable and irritated, since Warren would constantly flub up his attempts to make a good impression. Eventually, a rabbit donning a leather jacket and some slick shades arrives, and successfully impresses the new girl with his leather jacket. Realizing he blew his chance, Warren sadly sits on a tree stump in defeat, and Danny meets up with him. As Danny remarks that Warren has to wait for a new girl to arrive in town before he can make another good impression, Warren frustratingly admits that his sisters always meddle with his business. After tossing the rabbit's foot he was given, Warren suddenly falls over, and begins hallucinating once more.
Lincoln finally wakes back up, and discovers the male rabbit being smothered by his sisters. When Lincoln realizes that the rabbit got to make a good impression with a female rabbit, Lincoln realizes that his sisters might have had some helpful advice. With five minutes left before the bus arrives, Lincoln quickly rushes back home, and begs for his sisters' help. After a hefty amount of effort in getting Lincoln to stop talking, the sisters reveal that they want Lincoln to just be himself, since him being himself is what already makes him likable. Upon being turned back into his normal self, Lincoln barely manages to catch up to the bus. Upon boarding, Lincoln discovers that the new girl is by herself, and offers to sit next to her. By being himself, Lincoln successfully manages to make a good impression, as he and the new girl laugh as they head off to school.
This is the last episode to be written by Chris Savino.
Although this episode premiered in 2018, it was made in 2017 according to the credits.
This episode is based on the abandoned concept of the family being a family of rabbits, like Chris Savino intended the show to be. There are even 26 rabbits present (the one male rabbit, and the twenty-five female rabbits), like the original amount of siblings that were going to star in the show. Also, Lincoln's rabbit form is named Warren, which was going to be his original name.
Clyde is also a beaver, named Danny.
In an interview, Savino has stated that the Louds being a family of rabbits was just one of many abandoned concepts he decided on during the show's pre-production.
The production code of this episode "LDH 105" was produced during the Season 2 along with "Roadie to Nowhere."
Some TV guides list this episode's description as "Lincoln has a plan for introducing himself to a new girl, but when his sisters catch him he has to avoid them."
This episode implicitly marks the debut of Stella Zhau, although she would not be properly introduced until "Be Stella My Heart" exactly six months later.
This is the first episode to show a flashback to a previous episode, in this case "Heavy Meddle".
Danny daydreaming about Betty hopping through the forest was a takeoff of Clyde imagining Lori running on the beach in "One of the Boys".
Betty resembles Lori from "No Guts, No Glori", complete with wearing Lori's military garb and having the same demanding attitude.
The only rabbit sister that is not white is Bella, as she's dark gray.
Humorously, she too has her eyes covered by her hair.
In spite of Bella being dark grey in Lincoln's dream, in reality all 26 rabbits were white.
The adjectives Lincoln's sisters used to describe him:
Lori: Kind
Leni: Fashionable
Luna: Rockin'
Luan: Funny
Lynn: Tough
Lucy: Deep
Lana and Lola: Friendly
Lisa: Smart
Lily: Yincoln Youd
The ways the sisters describe Lincoln at the end of the episode is how they act themselves, with the exception of Lily, who is also the only sister to describe Lincoln with a proper noun instead of an adjective.
Innuendo:
The rabbits being grossed out by Bernice's possession of a lucky rabbit's foot makes sense, since she's technically owning a disembodied part of her own species.
When Warren tells the new girl bunny that he's been "watching her," the girl bunny is very disturbed by this statement as she mistakenly believed that Warren was stalking her.
Irony: Because Danny is a beaver, the only reason he bought an ice pop was so he can chew on the wooden stick.
In Warren's universe, Warren follows his sisters' advice to impress the new girl bunny which ends up failing. In Lincoln's universe, Lincoln actually succeeds in impressing the new girl after following his sisters' advice.
This is the first episode in which Lily says a sentence, that being "You Yincoln Youd." (her attempt to say, "You're Lincoln Loud.").
In the Dutch dub, most of the rabbit sisters recycle voices from Lincoln's original sisters and/or Rita, likely to cut costs, as hiring new actresses for just a few lines would be rather inefficient and expensive.
References[]
White Hare - The title of the episode relates to Lincoln’s dream of him being a white hare, and it may also be a pun on the fact that he has white hair.
Hide nor Hare - The episode's original title is a pun on the phrase, "hide nor hair", which means there is no trace of something lost or missing.
Rabbit's foot - One of the rabbit sisters is seen wearing a four leaf clover on her head, which is a reference to the idea that a rabbit's foot is considered a good luck charm.
Coincidentally, the rabbit's foot was also mentioned in the episode.
William Shakespeare - The Sonnets of Shakesphare, the book Birdie hands Warren to read to the new girl, features a rabbit version of this English playwright. Warren later reads Sonnet 18, one of Shakespeare's most well-known sonnets.
Danny McBride - Clyde's animal counterpart shares his name with this actor and comedian.
Errors[]
Brenda is voiced by Liliana Mumy. When she said "I hate her already," an animation error had her dressed like Beverly.
Bippa, the British rabbit, is mistakenly credited as "Brenda." Her real name is listed on Cristina Pucelli's Twitter account.[citation needed]
Despite Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa all going to the same school along with Lincoln, they didn't go on the school bus with him.
When Lincoln hops over the fence and goes hiding from his sisters, he should be in someone else's backyard, but somehow ends up in some thick area of the woods that was never shown in previous episodes.
When Warren proclaims that he was about to run away from his meddling sisters, Barbara's dress was purple, but when she proclaims that chase music was needed, her dress became pink.
In this same scene, Bernadette's dress turned pink as well.
When Warren snuck to the door, he had his shades off in that frame, and when he said "Heyy, Mornin' Ladies" to his sisters, his shades were on.
The new girl has orange fur, yet has a white tail like the other rabbits.
In the Brazilian Portuguese dub credits, Bethany's voice actor, Tais Feijo, was mistakenly written as "Tais Feij".
In the Turkish dub, Luna's line "You're rockin!" was said with Lana's voice but she said "Ha, ha. Nice." in "Tripped!".
Continuity error: In "Back in Black", the sisters tried changing Lucy to impress her crush, and Lincoln was the one who realized that Lucy needed to be herself to the boy, and yet, he's the one who needed to learn that lesson when trying to impress the new girl, and his sisters are the ones who teach it to him.
