Rita[enters the twins' room] How's the packing going? [notices Lana is wanting to bring her pets along; takes Bitey out of her bag] Lana, remember, the hotel isn't pet-friendly. You have to leave them home, sweetie.
Huh? [hesitantly] Oh, uh, right. I totally knew that and this isn't a surprise in any way. Just need to figure out who I can trust one of my precious, precious… [sniffles] babies while I'm gone.
Rita
And, when did we get a scorpion?
Oh, that's King Tut. I found him living in one of Dad's shoes.
[Rita and the twins arrive at the Grand Coyote Canyon hotel and check in their Room 247 while Lana secretly brings her pets after not trusting any of her siblings to care for them, breaking the no-pet policy]
Rita
Girls, since they have so many lifeguards here to watch you, I hope it's okay if I hit the spa.
Of course. You do you. [shoves her out of the room] Bye! Pool time! [rips off her dress, revealing her swimsuit, and leaves]
I'll be right behind you! I just gotta find my own goggles. [opens a suitcase, revealing her pets all crammed in] You guys okay? Sorry it took very long. [takes them out of the suitcase and hides them in a desk drawer] These are your own new digs for a while. I'll be back in a bit to check on you. No fighting. [leaves the room]
[Floating green heads of three high schoolers, Lori and Rita appear and disappear around Leni as she is having trouble sleeping throughout the night]
PGPunk Girl
This prom is so not memorable!
SStudent
Only one thing I'll ever remember about this school is the plumbing!
FSFemale Student
I didn't meet my first husband!
I can't believe my favorite sister ruined everyone's prom!
Rita
As a parent, I've never been very disappointed before.
[waking up with a scream; to Tanya, laying beside her] Tanya, wake up! I need to get back to school and make prom better, even if it takes all night! Let's get to work!
[Mr. Grouse backs up in the driveway. When he isn't looking, The bush moves. Luan is inside a bush, giggles about her fake lottery ticket prank that's gonna work. Mr. Grouse gets out of the car with his groceries. The bush moves closer to his car and Luan swipes the ticket for a fake one.]
[Giggles as her lottery ticket prank worked] "Wow! He really bought it! I can't wait to see his face when I tell him the truth!"
[Luan starts to walk to Mr. Grouse's house to tell him about that the lottery ticket she gave him was just a fake]
Rita
[holding a laundry basket; stopping her] "Stop! Luan, I need your laundry."
"Okay. Right after I finish this thing."
Rita
"No. Right now. I need to do a load of colors before I go to work." [as Luan holds up her finger, about to speak] "Please don't make a pun! Just get your laundry."
[quickly runs upstairs to her room; off-screen] "Incoming!" [tosses her laundry onto her mother]
Rita
[annoyed] "Thanks."
[Rita walks off. Luan continues going to Mr. Grouse's house by going out the door, Lincoln comes in and stops her.]
Rita
[calling from downstairs] Lincoln! You're not playing video games, are you? [comes upstairs and sees the Holo-Lincoln vacuuming the mess outside his room]
HLHolo-Lincoln
Just cleaning up!
Rita
Wow! I gotta say, I'm a little surprised. I thought for sure you would try some elaborate scheme to get out of cleaning your room. Okay! Well, I'm off to the paper.
HLHolo-Lincoln
Just cleaning up!
Rita
Yes, I got that. [walks away, suspiciously]
[pops out of the mess] Looks like this weekend just got a whole lot Button Mashier!
[Lincoln sees his sisters all glaring sharply at him and demanding an explanation after he turns off all the holograms]
[chuckles nervously as he takes a few steps back] You're probably wondering what's going on.
Rita
Yes, we are.
[Lincoln turns around, seeing the parents standing right behind him at the front door, looking very stern, and Lynn Sr. points to the Holo-Lincoln vacuuming outside the window]
HLHolo-Lincoln
Just cleaning up!
[Lincoln immediately turns off the hologram with his phone with a look of horror]
[sighs shamefully] Okay. The truth is, I didn't want to clean or study. So, I tried to get out of it by making holograms… [looks at Lisa peering behind the desk table and points to the waiver, reminding him not to tell anyone where he got the holograms] With some help from a David Steele comic.
RLRita & Lynn Sr.
[simultaneously sharped] Elaborate scheme! Called it! Jinx!
I'm sorry, but I sure learned my lesson. We can probably just let this one go, right?
RLRita & Lynn Sr.
[simultaneously] No. Jinx again!
[Moments later… Lincoln has finished cleaning his room by tossing a crushed Flippee cup into his trash can, fully stacked with all the garbage, completing all of his tasks the old-fashioned way]
Okay, studying is done, room is all clean, now all that's left is Luan's comedy show. [leaves his room and enters the living room, hopping on the chair]
Oh, there he is! The hologram with the plan himself! It is you, right?
[Lincoln laughs as Luan touches his face]
HLHolo-Lisa
Very humorous, Luan!
[whispering] Don't worry. I didn't tell them anything about our little--
HLHolo-Lisa
Very humorous, Luan!
[Lincoln suspiciously sticks his hand through the hologram and gasps, then turns around and sees the real Lisa on the stairs, wearing her bathrobe and her hair wrapped in a towel, and shushes mischievously]
[Morning at the Loud House… A rooster cock-a-doodle-doos and falls off the roof when Lynn Sr. suddenly starts sneezing loudly while coming down with a cold, and the siblings bolt out of the house]
I heard Dad sneeze! Get inside! [quickly closes the door as her siblings dash inside her apartment]
Ugh. Dad is the worst when he gets a cold. He turns into such a baby. [to Lily] No offense, Lily.
[shrugs; not caring] Mmm.
Okay, guys, don't panic. We can all stay here until Dad is well again. [grabs her bag] I'll run to the grocery store and get supplies, so we can hunker down. [opens the door, ends up bumping into Rita as she appears and falls on the floor]
Rita
There you all are. Listen, your dad is a bit under the weather, and I have to get to work. I need you to take care of him till I get home. [the siblings all groan in dismay] I know he can be a little… dramatic when he's sick. [cringes as her husband sneezes loudly]
[off-screen; weakly] I can't feel my face.
Rita
All you have to do is make sure he hydrates and rests.
Rita
Thanks, kids. I appreciate it. [leaves]
We can do this, guys. As long as we work together… [catches Lola trying to bail by sneaking out the window] Uh, Lola, no sneaking out the window.
[Lola closes the window and grumbles in annoyance; The siblings enter the master bedroom where their father is lying in bed with a red stuffy nose, an ice pack on his head, and a stack of used tissues in a trash can sitting next to him]
[sniffles the mucus in his nose and groans] Who's there? Are those my children?
It's okay, Pops. You've just got a cold.
Oh, thank you kids for trying to give me hope. I know how bad it is. [sadly writes a will]
[takes the book out his hands] Oh, for the Oath of Hippocrates. [takes out a thermometer] Father, I am going to prove you're overreacting. Open up. [Lynn Sr. groans as she sticks the thermometer in his mouth, then checks her watch] See? 98.7 degrees. You're fine.
[gasps in shock] Fine?! Normal is 98.6! I'm burning up! Can someone make me some toast and tea, please?
[Rita sees Todd lying down on the floor after she leaves the master bedroom, seeing all the kids taking good care of their father]
Please! No more sponge baths, Mr. Loud.
Rita
[walks off] Not even gonna ask.
[The Louds and Clyde arrive at Camp Mastadon where they're staying for the summer]
Here they are! [gives his grandkids a big hug] Welcome to camp, family! Settle in!
My family and Clyde are spending the summer at Camp Mastodon. [tries to pull his orange suitcase out of the luggage only to cause it to collapse on top of him] My older sisters get to be camp counselors…
[giving his five older granddaughters their camp counselor uniforms] Here. You each get a special T-shirt that lets the kids know you're in charge! [Luna rips the sleeves off hers] Luna! That was brand new!
Dad's gonna be camp cook… Mom wants to revive The Mastadon Minute.
Rita
[reading the newspaper's headline] "New invention hits mess hall: The toaster."
The rest of us get to be campers. We're all so excited!
