[The Louds are at Goddess Greens to order some lunch]
[taking notes with a tape recorder] Whatever you're into, Great Lakes City has it all. That is, if you have another time to do all of it.
[having trouble reading the menu; uncomfortable] Hon, I'm not sure I'm cool enough for this place. There's nothing on this menu but emojis. What am I supposed to order? The dinosaur or the winky face?
I'm sure everything is fabulous, hon. Jesse said this was the trendiest restaurant in the city.
Leni
[sharing a menu with Lincoln] Oh, it totes is. It's Carlota's fave spot. She comes here all of the other time.
[even more worried] What?! Why didn't you tell us?
Lynn, it's fine! It's nearly impossible to get a reservation. What are the odds that Carlota got one at the same time as us?
[entering the restaurant with Mia] Hola! I like to have a noun rez uner Casagrande. [blows kisses to everyone as the Loud family gasp in horror and quickly hide their faces]
[whispering] We need to get out of here!
[whispering] I didn't try the other food. I'll just do nothing to write about!
[whispering quickly] If Carlota sees us, you'll be writing about the other end of your friendship with the Casagrandes!
[entering the rooftop, and finds the Loud family] Louds? What're all of you doing here?
[nervously] Rosa! H-H-Hey! We were, uhhh... just, you know, uh, trying out Lisa's new teleportation device. [chuckles] It works! [to Lisa] Nice job, sweetie.
Leni
O-M-Gosh, really? I thought we were hiding from the Casagrandes.
What? [hurt] Hiding from us? I don't understand.
[wearing a wrestling outfit with spikes everywhere; weakly] Too spiky. [now wearing a fairy costume] Not gonna happen. [now dressed as a clown] No way. [now wearing Lincoln's own clothes] Who wears this here? [gets back in her own usual clothes] Look, folks, this isn't working. None of those feel, I don't know, authentic.
Leni
Hmm. Maybe we need to dig a little deeper. Like, my fave wrestler, Pixie Cuts, used to be an actual hairstylist. Her favorite character feels supes authentic.
Yeah. What's Lynn Loud really passionate about?
[Reininger's department store in the Royal Woods Mall; Fiona and Miguel are preparing unmotivated for the morning run when Leni enters]
Leni
[cheerfully holding a pink box of muffins; off-screen] Morning, fam!
[over intercom] Attention, everyone! It's manager extraordinaire and fashion icon, Leni Loud! She dazzles in a chique-!
[cutting him off] Like I said yesterday, it's too early for this, Miguel.
Leni
Look what I brought! [opens the box, revealing four decorated muffins] Ta-da!
Leni
They're Fuffins. [Fiona and Miguel both react confusingly] Like, muffins, but fun.
Leni
[hands each of her friends a muffin; walks over to Tanya with a happy gasp] Hi, Tanya! [hands her a muffin] I can't wait to hear about your date with Bradley from the sports department! [cut to Bradley, another mannequin dressed in tennis gear; gasps] Ooooh! It was a tennis date? LOVE that for you!
[eating her muffin; delighted] Leni, you are the best!
CMs. Carmichael
[walks in] Couldn't have said it better myself, Fiona! [takes Miguel's muffin and takes a bite] I just love my Reninger's family. [chuckles, then more serious] Sometimes more than my own. [eats the rest of Miguel's muffin after a pause] Alright, team! Time for pre-opening announcements. First things first, I want to freshen up the store, so, get ready for some big changes around here.
[gasps] Are we finally addressing the employee breakroom smell? I have some theories. [takes out his notepad and flicks through]
CMs. Carmichael
[bluntly] No.
[closes his notepad and takes out a recorder; suspicious] Suspect #2 suspiciously changes the subject. Will monitor.
CMs. Carmichael
I want to start with the mannequins. The store's current stock are… [takes hold of a nearby mannequin's arm, which breaks off, its head immediately falls to the ground, as a swarm of spiders scuttle out; the rest of the mannequin collapses] Well, that just about says it all. I think it's time we retire them.
[Miguel and Fiona gasp and groan in apprehension; then cut to Leni, who doesn't understand]
Leni
[squeals in delight; excitedly] Tanya is going to LOVE retirement!! [hugs Tanya cheerfully] She TOTES deserves it! Oh, I hope she goes to Florida! I can visit her on my spring break!
Leni, I think Ms. Carmichael meant that she is getting rid of the old mannequins, including Tanya.
Leni
[gasps in horror and clutches her mannequin friend] You can't just get rid of her! Sure, she's a little quiet and sometimes her limbs fall off. [Tanya's head dislodges, readjusts it] But she's my friend!
CMs. Carmichael
Sorry, Leni. I know you've formed an attachment, but it's just a mannequin. [her phone rings] Well, the movers are here to take away the old mannequins right now. [walks away]
I'm sorry, Leni. [walks over to her for comfort] Hey, maybe you'll meet a new Tanya.
Leni
I don't want a new Tanya! I have a Tanya! We have to save her! It's like, Miguel, imagine if Ms. C. wanted to throw away your favorite Italian leather belt.
[gasps in horror] Beltissimo!? Over my dead-but-still-very-moisturized body! Okay, I am in! [holds out his hand]
[rolls her eyes, lightly] Eh, why not? [adds her hand]
LMLeni, Miguel & Fiona
Save Tanya!
[As Leni, Fiona, and Miguel hide in the recycling room…]
[takes her phone out of her pocket as it rings and gasps to see who's calling] It's Ms. Carmichael! I'll just call her back later!
[takes his phone out of his pocket, shocked to see that Ms. Carmichael is also trying to call him] Sorry, Ms. C! Turn off phone. [turns off his phone] Watch out, Leni. She's probably gonna--
Leni
[answers her phone] Hello? Oh, hi, Ms. Carmichael! [gasps in horror] Ms. Carmichael?!
CMs. Carmichael
Leni, where are the three of you?! The post-lunch rush is about to start!
Leni
[sighs] M-Ms. C, I can explain. See, we left the store to rescue Tanya and bring her back.
CMs. Carmichael
[disbelieved] Rescue Tanya? Tanya the mannequin? Wha… Listen, if the three of you are not back at this store ASAP, you will all be fired!
Leni
[firmly] Don't be mad at Miguel and Fiona, this was all my idea. But you said it yourself: we're a family at Reininger's. And nowhere does it say that mannequins are excluded. Tanya's like the sister I never had.
Uh, Leni? You have nine sisters.
Leni
[annoyed] You know what I mean. [to Ms. Carmichael] Fire me if you have to, but I have to save my friend. [hangs up and sadly groans] You guys need to go back. You can't lose your jobs because of me.
[joins them] Yeah! No mannequin left behind!
Oh, la familia Loud. I thought you went home. What happened to you?
Leni
[in Italian] Abbiamo scalato il vulcano e raggiuta la cima, poi il vulcano fato. BOOM!
You climbed the volcano and reached the top before it went BOOM?!
Oh, it boomed, lady. It BOOMED!
And you still tried to get my stone?
LLynn
We had it too, but then it broke. Freak chest bump accident. It was nobody'z fault.
[waving her hand in Lynn's face] Lynn? Hello? Are you okay?
Leni
What's going on with her?
[sighs dreamily while gazing] Henrik.
Smitten sigh. [gasps] Excitedly whispering a boy's name.
Leni
O-M-Gosh! I think Lynn has…
LLLori & Leni
[squealing in excitement] A CRUSH!!!
[imitates buzzer] Lynn Loud crushes people! She doesn't crush on them! [looks at Henrik again, flexing a muscle while holding up a clock; sighs dreamily and giggles] Okay, maybe just a little one. [snaps out of it] But what do I do about it? I'm such a rookie when it comes to this kind of junk.
[Lynn and Henrik make snow angels while they laugh, they both touch hands. At the top, Lori and Leni spy on them with binoculars. They smile at each other while feeling proud of Lynn and themselves]
LLLori & Leni
Best crush coaches ever!!! [The two sisters shake hands and squeal excitedly for their success. A huge pile of snow falls on them; they giggle]
[to the viewers, with the map of Europe behind him] The Louds' European road trip continues. Next stop, Athens, Greece!
[The map shows their rental double-decker bus driving from Transylvania, Romania all the way to Athens, Greece; Once they arrive, the family takes a tour of the Parthenon while a Lincoln trails behind them, looking bored]
Today, all that's left of the Parthenon are these beautiful ruins, but this place was once an open air market… [catches Lynn lifting up a pillar; annoyed] Ponytail, this is not your gym. [Lynn tosses the pillar aside and it shatters off-screen] As I was saying, this place was once an open air market, kind of Ancient Greece's version of a mall.
Leni
[gasps excitedly] I wonder if I can use my Reininger's discount here!
[bumps into Lincoln after he's transported back to the future] Hey, what took you, Stinkoln?
[groans and breaks out of the hug] Gross! What're you doing?
I'm just so happy to see you! [to the rest of the family] To see all of you!
Aw, that's sweet, honey, but you shouldn't have run off. We have been looking all over for you.
Leni
[Unaware as the other sisters are] Oh. Were we supposed to be looking for Lincoln? I found a huge sale on vintage sandals!
[exasperated] That wasn't a sale rack! It was a showcase of ancient Greek footwear! What is with this family?!
Listen, sweetie, you have been a real trooper with all these historic tours, so your Dad and I decided we're gonna spend the afternoon doing whatever fun thing you want.
Actually, I'm starting to think history is fun. I'd love to hear more about Greek Mythology.
[On the drive home from the Burnt Bean…]
[Happily singing] ♪ SISTERS! Working together! Chasing those Burnt Bean DREAMS!!! ♪ [tilts her head back again as Lori growls]
[Rita and Lynn Sr. prepare to leave. Luan and Lori enter the house.]
"Hi girls. We're off on our date night."
"We're trying that new place, Mitch's Massage and Macaroni. I'm gonna get the tissue with meatballs."
"Lori, you probably want to go back to your apartment, So Leni, you're in charge until we get back."
[Leni walks by Luan, and Lori, who knows how to get back at Luan.]
"Ooh! Actually, I'm in no hurry. I love to babysit! I bet Leni wants to go!"
Leni
[Confused] "I do?"
Leni
"Foot massage with fettuccine, here I come!" [She leaves as Lynn Sr. and Rita watch in confusion.]
"I'm sorry, so she's with us now?" [He and Rita leave.]
"Hear that everyone? I'm in charge!" [Luan stares at her in confusion.]
What the heck are you guys doing here?!
Leni
I heard what Lori said last night about the recessed lighting, and knew I had to record my totes important makeup tutorial here. But then, I heard someone coming!
And I heard Lori say how big the sink was and thought I could save some time and give all the pets a bath at once. [bathes Charles, Cliff, Walt, Geo and El Diablo at the same time] Then I heard someone coming!
Well, I'm here 'cause Lori said she had a zillion cable channels, and there's a super important game today.
Leni
I can't believe the three of us all had the same idea!
[falling from the ceiling and lands on the ground; weakly] Four of us. [gets up] I have the Little Miss Common Relax Pageant today, and I'm anything but! I heard Lori mention the incredible water pressure in her shower and thought it would help me relax. Then, I heard someone coming!
Okay. Now it all makes sense.
So what do we need do now?
Leni
Respect Lori's privacy and leave?
Oh, well, let's not be hasty. I mean, we all have a special reason to be here today, so we might as well stay. But just for today. And then we'll never disrespect Lori's privacy again.
Leni
Deal.
