Chapter Text
I shouldn't be surprised with Lily. It's natural for toddlers to misbehave at times. But somehow, Lily's recent misbehavior is causing her to act more... feral. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then watch this.
[The episode starts inside Lynn's Table. The Louds and Jackson sigh contently as their dishes arrive at the table. Lincoln slurps a spaghetti.]
Lincoln: "Ugh, no more pasta." [Pushes the plate aside] "I can't eat another bite."
Lana: "Me neither. Wait." [Burps in Lincoln's face, making him lean on Lola, much to her dismay] "Made room for one more BITE!"
[She prongs a meatball with her fork on Lucy's dish and munches it loudly.]
Lucy: "I could nap for all eternity." [Falls face first on the dish and starts napping, making Jackson give out a stifled laugh.]
Jackson: "Watch where you're resting your head."
Lucy: [Immediately wakes up and sits up, with meatballs and spaghetti drooping down her head and over her eyes.] "W-What did you say?"
[A short time later, Lynn Senior arrives offering a block of Parmesan cheese.]
Lynn Sr: "Okay! Who wants more parmesan?"
[The food falls off of Lucy's head. Everyone nods in agreement.]
Everyone: "I do!"
Lucy: [Smiles] "Why not?"
[Everyone brings their plates out and Lynn Senior grates parmesan on each dish.]
Jackson: "Oh, Lore is so missing out on this."
Luna: "Why you pushin' the parm on us, Pops?"
Lynn Sr: "My chef pen pal, Furio, sent it to me from Italy!" [Stops grating and eats the whole parmesan, much to Jackson and Rita's concern. Rubbing his stomach and tearing up in excitement] "Oh, this stuff is incredible." [Rushes to a trolley filled to the ceiling with cheese] "But he sent me way too much of it! Though on a plus side, he also sent me this." [Spins the trolley to reveal a cheese sculpture of himself as a chef. Everyone else gasps in amazement.] "It's a priceless work of art, huh?" [Fiercely] "No one eat it." [He and Jackson notice something]
Jackson: "LJ!"
[Lynn Junior bites a piece off the cheese statue's leg and munches loudly, before being noticed. She spits and chuckles nervously as she tries to cover her secret. Jackson facepalms.]
[The CHEESE IMPORTS truck parks outside Lynn's table. More parmesan rolls into the building, concerning Lynn Senior.]
Lynn Sr: "Oh! It just. Keeps. Coming." [Calling to his workmates] "Lynn's Table is having a Cheese Week, everyone! Parmesan for all!"
[Kotaro grates cheese on Scoots' dish.]
Scoots: "This is oatmeal, ding dong!"
[A crashing sound is heard, concerning the Loud siblings and Jackson.]
Luan: "Uh... Aren't the others in there?
Jackson: [Approaches the door] "Caleb?" [No answer] "John?" [No answer] "Corey?" [Caleb suddenly bursts out of the warehouse]
Caleb: [Dizzy] "I'm awake! No one panic! I'm good!"
Lola: "What happened?"
Caleb: [Drawling] "I... don't know. One moment, we were just working in the back. Next thing we know... Well, it all happened so fast."
Lisa: [Realizes] "Wait a minute. Isn't Lily in there?" [They all become worried]
Lincoln & Jackson: "Oh, no."
[The family and Caleb run into the warehouse and gasp in shock as Lily is seen balancing on top of a roll of parmesan; John and Corey are seen knocked out with pots and pans scattered all over the floor.]
Lily: "Haha, yay!" [The parmesan acts like a wrecking ball and crashes into boxes in different places.]
Rita: [Running in to stop her, while Lily starts munching on the cheese] "Lily! No climbing on the parmesan!" [Lily growls ferally and bites at Rita's finger, causing her to yelp, and everyone else gasps in shock. Kotaro - holding a dish - notices the activity through the window. Shocked, he drops the dish on the floor.]
Kotaro: "What's gotten into Lily?"
Jackson: "Don't ask us."
Rita: [Has her hands on her hips while Lily gives her a mean look] "Lily! That is very disrespectful!"
Lynn Sr: "We taught you not to be rude!" [To his children] "Okay, which one of you taught her to be rude?"
[The children claim no fault.]
Lincoln: "I don't know."
Luan: "It wasn't me."
Lily: [Belching as she speaks] "A-B-C-D-E-F... G."
[Her older siblings and Jackson look at her in deadpan.]
Lana: "I think we all know who's responsible for that."
Caleb: [To Lana] "You?"
Lana: "Close enough, actually."
[They step back, except for Lynn, who's actually smiling at Lily's burp-singing.]
Caleb: "JUNIOR!"
Lynn: [Her smile drops for a moment, before chuckling] "Okay, okay. That one was me." [Happily] "And you nailed it!"
Jackson: [Sighs and pulls out Lily's pacifier] "I got this." [Approaches her] "Lily." [Lily turns to him] "Lily." [Places the pacifier in her mouth, calming her] "Ha! Works every time." [Carries her] "Now, we just need to take her back."
[It's the middle of the night at the Loud House. Lincoln is whimpering in his sleep before Jackson nudges him upon hearing this.]
Jackson: "Linc. Lincoln!" [Lincoln wakes up] "You okay?" [Lincoln grabs Bun-Bun]
Lincoln: "Sorry. I was having a bad dream."
Jackson: "About what?"
Lincoln: "About... Lori. I don't know why her though."
Jackson: "I'm sure we'll find out. Maybe, we can call her and-"
[Clattering noises are heard, prompting the whole family to check it out. The Louds, rubbing their tired eyes, take a look through the doorway into the kitchen.]
Rita: "Who's in here?"
Lynn Sr: [Yawns] "It's the middle of the ding-dang night!"
[They see that Lily has opened the fridge door and tries to pull out the parmesan. She growls and gives the others a scary face, making them yelp in horror. The parents run in and confront her.]
Rita: "Lily! How did you get out of your crib?!"
Lynn Sr: "Jackson, did you lock the crib?"
Jackson: [Realizes] "Oh, no! I must've forgotten."
Leni: "How could you forget such a simple thing?"
Jackson: "I don't know!"
Lily: [Angrily] "SNACK!!"
[The parents look at each other and they shake their heads.]
Lynn Sr: "No, no, it's not snack time, sweetie." [Closes in and tries to grab her] "It's time to-"
Lily: [Growling] "SNACK! NOW!" [Goes back to pulling the cheese, while the others start panicking.]
Rita: "What is going on with her?! She's supposed to be the sweet one!"
[Half of the kids are offended by this.]
Lana: "We're right here!"
Lucy: "Not cool, Mom."
Lynn: "Aw, come on!"
Rita: [To them] "Sorry, kids." [Chuckles nervously] "Love you."
[Jackson groans as Rita grabs Lily, leaving the cheese behind.]
Lily: "No, no, no, no, no! No, no! Wait!"
[They put her back in the crib, as Lisa heads to her desk.]
Lynn Sr: "Lisa, what are you doing?"
Lisa: "I needed to do some late-night work anyway." [Activates Todd]
Lincoln: "Now?" [Lisa nods]
Todd: "Yes, Lisa?" [Lisa passes a tray of beakers]
Lisa: "Hold this tray, please." [Todd does so, as Jackson locks the crib]
Jackson: "There. Now, it's locked."
Lily: "SNACK! NOW!"
Rita: [Firmly with hands on hips] "No, Lily. You clearly need sleep. And you have school in the morning!"
Lynn Sr: [Realizes] "Wait a minute. School! Maybe, that's where she's picking up this bad behavior!"
Rita: [Gasps] "That makes total sense! Maybe, she's got a new friend who acts like this."
[Lily breaks up the crib with her teeth and runs out of the room. The others run after her while she laughs evilly. The camera cuts to Lisa's experiment.]
Lisa: [Sighs in relaxation] "Finally, some peace and quiet." [Todd nods his head. Suddenly, she is hit by an explosion, blowing her back and knocking her wig off.]
Lola: "Lisa! Save that for the morning!"
Lisa: [Looking at her head, which is now glowing from the explosion's effects] "Huh. Fascinating."
[Meanwhile, Lily throws toys at the others. They duck to dodge an incoming object.]
Lily: "Snack! SNACK!"
[She stomps along the hallway. They get up.]
Lynn Sr: "Okay. First thing tomorrow morning, we march right in there and find out who's ruining our precious Lily."
Lily: [Running into Luna and Luan's room] "Snack, snack, snack!" [Throws all the musical instruments out] "Snack, snack!"
Luna: "Not my instruments!"
Rita: "That won't work." [Dodges a conical flask filled with chemicals] "Oh! If she sees us there, she'll know something's up." [They all dodge again.] "We'll need to get creative!" [Suddenly, she is struck by Geo's hamster ball, making Geo squeak, but Rita is soon seen to have caught the ball.]
Lynn Sr: "Whoa!" [Gives a thumbs up.] "Nice save, hon!" [The hamster faints.] "Poor Geo."
Jackson: "Well, don't send me in there. I'll get recognized in a heartbeat."
Leni: [Comes up with something] "I won't get recognized in a heartbeat. I could go check it out."
Jackson: [Shrugs] "Better than nothing, I guess."
[The next morning, Rita is packing Leni's stuff in her bag.]
Rita: "You ready for a fun day at preschool?"
Leni: "So ready!" [Squeals] "Did I tell you they have a trampoline?" [Rita guides her out the front door.]
Rita: "Yes, sweetie. 43 times." [Firmly] "But remember, the reason you're going is to keep an eye on Lily. You need to find out who's encouraging her to misbehave."
Leni: "I'm on it, Mom!"
Lynn Sr: [Holding a parmesan wheel] "Don't forget your lunch, Leni!" [Stuffs it in her bag, but the cheese is too heavy and too big, causing Leni to fall back and struggle to get back up, whimpering while doing so. Jackson tries to pull her up while Lynn Senior rolls another parmesan wheel to Lynn Junior.] "LJ! I got more parmesan for ya!"
