"No Guts, No Glori" is the sixth episode of the first season of The Loud House.
Plot[]
Lincoln and nine of his sisters work as a team to thwart the tyranny they face with Lori as their babysitter.
Synopsis[]
It's Friday night, and Lynn Sr. and Rita are going out on a date. Unfortunately for the Loud kids, Lori is in charge, and apparently takes glee in bossing them around. She won't let Luna rock out, Lana make mud pies, Leni talk on the phone, or Lincoln play his new video game. Dressing up as a military drill sergeant, she instructs them that they will have a very boring evening, to which they obey.
Lincoln invites his other sisters to sneak into his room, and suggests a plan to overthrow "The Queen of No". After distracting Lori, the others ambush her, and tie her to a chair. The other sisters vote for Lincoln to be their new babysitter, and despite her warning that Lincoln won't make a good leader, and that the house will fall apart without her, they confine Lori to her room with Lola on guard duty.
However, Lori's warning proves to be true, as in under five minutes, the kids mess up the house with their roughhousing and destructive antics. Lincoln attempts to get them to stop, but they refuse to do so, derisively calling him Lori. Realizing that Lori is the only one who can stop the chaos, he tries to get Lola to release her, but she instead knocks him out with a golf club, and ties him to a chair.
Upon using Geo to free himself, Lincoln makes his way into Lori's room through her window and begs her to help him. She refuses at first, but accepts the help. The two make their way downstairs, and Lori uses glitter to distract Lola and the warning that Mom and Dad will be home in ten minutes to get the other sisters to cease their madness and clean up the house, and they have to do it fast since she gets a call saying that they'll be home really soon. Under Lori's authority and through Luna's cleaning montage, the kids manage to clean the giant mess just as their parents get home. Lori joins Lincoln in playing his new game, having learned that you can't say "no" all the time, and all is well until Dad notices his broken golf club which Lola used to knock out Lincoln earlier, as Lori and Lincoln stare at each other in shock, knowing that they're in huge trouble.
