"Cover Girls" is the twenty-ninth episode of the first season of The Loud House.
Plot[]
Lincoln has his hands full when all 10 of his sisters ask him to cover for them on the same day.
Synopsis[]
The story begins with Lincoln and Clyde watching an episode of ARGGH!, that takes place in a haunted house, where Hunter Spector hunts for a ghost in the bathroom. However, Lincoln realizes that he missed his curfew, and he then calls his sisters, and asks them to cover for him. They do so, and Lincoln makes it home, without his parents knowing he missed curfew.
The next morning, Mom calls the kids downstairs, because it's time for Spring cleaning, much to the kids chagrin. Before Lincoln can start, he is asked if he can cover for Lynn. He agrees, and before he can clean again, Lori and Lily have Lincoln covering for them as well. Then when he is covering for Lily, Leni asks him to cover for her. He agrees, but because Leni was covering for the other six sisters, he must cover for all ten sisters now.
Lincoln manages to make his parents think all eleven of the kids are cleaning, but when Lincoln thinks he has done it, his Pop-Pop wants to talk to all eleven of them, much to Lincoln's shock. Lincoln goes down and says that his sisters were busy cleaning and lies that he was nominated to talk for all of them.
However, Pop-Pop wants Luna to sing him a song. Lincoln texts his sisters and says it is an emergency. While his sisters are on their way home, Lincoln disguises himself as Luna and Luan, and while he is disguised as the twins Luna and Lana show up. They laugh at him for a second before he dresses them up as Leni and Lynn, and the cycle continues as more and more of the sisters show up and need to dress as each other.
Finally, Pop-Pop wants to say bye to all 11 of them as a group luckily for them that he must use his glasses next time in the end of the video chat. They do this and when they think they've won, their parents see them dressed as one another and demand to know about the situation. They were angry at first, but appreciated that the siblings had each other's back even if their all busted. Then their Mom told them that spring cleaning was moved to tomorrow, so that they were allowed to go back to their activities if they wore what they were wearing, which makes the siblings embrassed by their ridiculous outfits at that very worst moment.
Of course, the sisters gets their comeuppance for sneaking out of spring cleaning and they all have a terrible day. Lincoln claims that he's lucky because all he is doing is watching ARGGH! with Clyde, dressed as Lily, but Clyde invited the whole class, embarrassing Lincoln as the episode ends with him blush and saying Lily's catchphrase.

Trivia[]
- The ending where Lincoln's classmates point, laugh at, and record him resembles the opening scene of "Heavy Meddle".
- This episode and its sister episode both have references to "Heavy Meddle".
- This episode marks Pop-Pop's first physical appearance; he was mentioned before in "Chore and Peace".
- In "Space Invader", Lucy claims that she hates pink. In this episode, she wore Lola's pink dress to cover her.
- Although, like Lincoln who dressed up as Lily, Lucy most likely did this to help her siblings.
- In the title card, Lori was using a Lincoln wig, which possibly foreshadows her impersonating Lincoln in a later scene.
- This episode reveals that Albert once got his hip replaced.
- Lincoln didn't dress up as Lori, Leni, and Lisa, but he did impersonate both Lori and Leni by talking like them. This makes Lisa the only sister who Lincoln didn't impersonate in any way.
- Likewise, Pop-Pop mentions or describes all but one sibling: Lucy.
- During production, the sister who would dress up like Leni and do the mirror routine with her was originally Luna, but it was changed to Luan in the final version.
