#stage plight

It’s been a bit since we last saw a new episode of the Loud House..the awesome special ‘Really Loud Music’ was the last one that aired right after Thanksgiving and the last episode that wasn’t a special ‘Tea Tale Heart’ that aired back in October. 

Let’s take a look at the synopsis for each of the episodes that will be airing this week as well as the remaining episodes of Season 3 and I will be sharing my brief thoughts on each. 

This Week’s Episodes: 

“Predict Ability” 

Plot:  After discovering he has rituals, Lincoln worries he's predictable and vows to change it up.

Thoughts: I previously shared my thoughts back in the last update several months ago but I didn’t know much about it beyond the basic information. Now that I’ve seen preview clips, it does look like a really interesting episode. Still not sure if it will focus more on Lincoln’s interactions with his friends or his sisters. Hopefully we’ll get a nice mix and the clips so far have been ..interesting to say the least without a lot of context..hehe. And Stella’s back! :)

“Driving Ambition”

Plot: When Lori finds out that the golf coach from her dream college is coming to see her play, she develops the yips.

Thoughts: Based on the clips I’ve seen so far, this is one I’m definitely looking forward to. Lori’s episodes this season have been mostly positive and I have no doubt this trend will continue. 

“Home Of The Fave” 

Plot: After a pun‐filled trip to the grocery store with Luan and Lola, Dad worries Lola thinks he plays favorites.

Thoughts: This is one of the remaining episodes I’m most looking forward and could very well be my favorite of the upcoming week’s episodes. This is definitely a very fun premise with tons of potential for laugh out loud humor based on the clips so far. 

“Hero Today, Gone Tomorrow” 

Plot:  When Lynn's friend Margo is celebrated for a one‐in-a‐million soccer goal, Lynn has to try and be supportive.

Thoughts: Of all the new episodes coming this week, this is the one I’ve seen the fewest clips from and have gotten the least information about. Based on the synopsis, this episode could go either way. Will be great to see Lynn’s friends again and here’s hoping Lynn’s latest episode is as good as the previous ones this season. 

Beyond This Week: 

“Cooked!”  (Scheduled for February 18th)

Plot: The kids promise to help Dad with the grand opening of his new restaurant by coming up with promotions. But their lack of teamwork and crazy promos lead to an ultimate nightmare in the kitchen for Dad.

Thoughts: Special episode? Check! , Lynn Sr. finally achieving his dream of owning a restaurant? Double check! , Having the whole family involved? Triple check! Definitely looking forward to this one. Should be really fun with a potential for a lot of great humor.

“The Write Stuff” 

Plot: When Lucy quits the writing club at school due to the by‐the‐books way Huggins runs the club, Mom takes over.

Thoughts: Definitely an interesting combination of characters and a promising premise. Don’t know much about this one, so will have to wait for this one to air to find out more. 

“Racing Hearts” 

Plot: When Luna and Sam embark on a scavenger hunt across Royal Woods, they discover they have vastly different styles.

Thoughts: Finally an episode with Sam in a more prominent role outside of the comics. We’ve only seen her once since ‘L Is For Love’ and that was a non-speaking role in ‘Friendzy’. Episodes focusing on Luna are always fun and hopefully we can learn more about Sam. We’ll have to see how this one turns out but I am looking forward to seeing what happens between them.

“Stage Plight” 

Plot: Hoping to get closer to her crush, Benny, Luan tries out for the school play.

Thoughts: This is one of the episodes I’m looking forward to the most. Luan’s last focused episode (”Head Poet’s Anxiety”) was amazing so I have high hopes for this one. Not to mention the return of her crush Benny from ‘L Is For Love’ 

“Antiqued Off” 

Plot: When Clyde and schoolmate Zach begin bonding over a mutual interest in antiques, Lincoln quickly finds himself feeling like a third wheel.

Thoughts: Of the remaining episodes, this is one the one I’m least looking forward to. I’m pretty lukewarm on episode that focus on Lincoln’s friends other than Clyde. Still I’m willing to give this episode a chance and it could surprise me. :)

Definitely an interesting set of upcoming episodes. :)  Here’s how I rank them so far based on the plots: 

Top Tier (Episodes I’m looking forward to the most):

“Stage Plight” 

“Home Of The Fave” 

“Racing Hearts” 

“Cooked!” 

“Driving Ambition” 

Second Tier (Episodes that look fun) :

“Predict Ability” 

Third Tier (Wait and see until they air)
