11 Louds A Leapin'

The entire Loud family + Clyde and his dads teaming up to bring Mr. Grouse his first happy Christmas in years; They sing a carol specifically written for him, and give him a bus ticket so he can finally go see his family. Mr. Grouse gets his own Heartwarming moment in return when he invites them all over to his house to celebrate Christmas.
- To make that moment even more heartwarming, Mr. Grouse gives all the stuff he took from the Louds back as his Christmas present.
- "Cooled" slightly when you realize that the bus ticket is ONE WAY.
He gets another one in the end when he dresses up as Santa and brings the Louds more presents. One of those presents is his old sled, which he gives to Lincoln to replace the broken one. Lincoln follows that up by stating that this Christmas, he got the best present of them all: Him and Mr. Grouse now being friends. And then Lincoln wipes out again, accidentally launching his new sled into Mr. Grouse's window.
Lori giving Clyde a kiss when she points out that he's unknowingly standing under the mistletoe in Mr. Grouse's house.

Intern for the Worse

Lincoln and Clyde emphasize that they're a team and even when they argue, they never stop being friends and they resolve the argument relatively quickly.

The Old and the Restless

Lincoln and his maternal grandfather, "Pop Pop," having a great day together. You can tell Lincoln really loves his grandfather and vice-versa.
All the inhabitants of the retirement home first helping Pop Pop back in after curfew, and then sticking up for him against the Battle Axe Nurse that runs the place.

Baby Steps

Lincoln playing with/helping all his younger sisters. Especially the twins and Lily.
- Lincoln making a PB&J sandwich for Lisa. Lisa mentions that she likes the way he prepares it for her.
Yes, he did resort to trickery to make it happen, but it was nice for Lincoln to try and give Clyde more confidence.
Clyde receiving a pet kitten when he comes home, and telling his dads that he's ready should they ever seek to adopt another child.
Clyde finally deciding he's confident enough to be a big brother after getting Lana and Bitey (who are both afraid of heights) down from a tree. Additionally, after he does so, Lana jumps up to him for a big hug. Clyde is startled at first, but then gains a heartfelt smile.

Brawl in the Family

The non-fighting sisters being dedicated to stopping the fights that are happening.
Clyde helping Lincoln pull through the day with his therapy and than letting him stay the night.
After spending the entire episode being useless and cowardly, Lynn Sr. lets his terrified son hide with him when the sisters are at it again.

Suite and Sour

After ruining their parents' one chance at a relaxing time to themselves, the kids decide to make it up to them by turning the house into an impromptu hotel, and then leave their parents alone while they willingly spend the weekend at Aunt Ruth's house (a place they consider worse than Hell!) so they can get the rest and relaxation they deserve.

Back In Black

Lucy developing a crush on Rusty's little brother Rocky.
…When the sisters catch her in the act of trying to make herself normal, they immediately join forces to make her over in the hopes of helping her win Rocky over. Lucy actually approves of the new look they fashion for her!
- Doubly touching is the fact that her more tomboyish siblings Lana and Lynn, and the less fashion-inclined Lisa all unhesitatingly join in.
Lori taking Lucy to play minigolf on a double date with Bobby and Rocky.
After all of Lucy's advances fail, the girls offer a heartfelt apology for the pressure they put on her; especially touching is when Lori confesses that Lucy is perfect being herself, and says that they all love her for who she is.
- Lucy didn’t even blame them or claim it was their fault. She knew that her sisters were just trying to help and she appreciate it and even thank her sisters.
Lucy finally winning Rocky's affections, during which he explains he simply felt out of her league and didn't know how to talk to her. They both go off to enjoy Lucy's collection of the macabre, during which she shoots Lincoln a warm smile and a thumbs up.
Out of all of the siblings, Lincoln is the only one who doesn't call Lucy "weird" to her face and isn't ecstatic at the idea of her becoming more "normal", in fact he even seems a little disturbed at the thought of her forcibly undergoing the change. Out of all their siblings, he's the only one who shows her unconditional love throughout the whole episode.

Patching Things Up

Lola and Lana actively supporting each other to get their patches and become Bluebell Scouts, and even going so far as to mess up their last test so the other doesn’t have to feel bad about not being let into the Bluebell Scouts. They may be polar opposites personality-wise, but when they have a common goal they make a great team.

Cheater By The Dozen

Lincoln and Clyde going to every length to determine if Bobby is being unfaithful to Lori.
Clyde's reaction to the idea of Bobby cheating on Lori. Instead of seeing this as an opportunity to become the rebound guy, he decides to work out in order to get some revenge. While that part is Played for Laughs, considering that it turns out to be pointless in the end, it shows just how much Clyde cares for Lori's feelings.
All of the sisters pitching in to help the boys find any evidence of Bobby's disloyalty is really quite touching; Lori is often bossy and condescending towards them in her worst moments, but they are so horrified at the thought of Bobby betraying her trust that they all step in to protect their oldest sister.
Lori actually forgiving all of her siblings and Clyde for their actions when the misunderstanding is explained at their date, moved by the fact that they were simply looking out for her.
As strange as his actions were, the great lengths Bobby went to just to make sure the evening was perfect for Lori is made of all kinds of heartwarming, and shows that his devotion to her hasn't wavered.

Lock 'N' Loud

When Rita and the kids (understandably) get mad at Lynn Sr. for lying to them about there being other burglars and getting Mr. Grouse to pretend to be robbed, essentially making all their efforts to secure the house for nothing, Lynn Sr. admits that, in addition to reminding the kids to lock the door at night, he was doing it ultimately to try and protect what he himself valued most: his family.
- This is enough to get Rita and the kids to forgive him for what he did.
In a strange way, Mr. Coconuts striking up a friendship with Edwin.

The Whole Picture

When Lincoln discovers that he never put in any film in the camera he was using to recreate his childhood memories and ultimately decides to quit trying to get them back, the sisters cheer him up by reminding him of those lost memories. What tops it off is the final scene of the episodes, of all the Loud siblings happily laughing together.
- A small example during that moment; Lori is holding Lana on her lap.
The photos themselves are all about heartwarming moments between a younger Lincoln and his sisters and parents, including being given his first ice cream by Lori, bottle-feeding Lisa and Lola as babies, being taught to ride a bike by Lynn Sr., building a snowman with Lana and a sandcastle with Luan, etc.
Clyde deserves a mention here too, for being such a good friend. When Lincoln tries to recreate those moments, Clyde happily agrees to play the role of the sisters. And even if some of the reenactments are exhausting, or even painful and dangerous, he never once tries to stop helping Lincoln.

No Such Luck

While it may not amount to much and while Rita's line about having sold Linc's furniture doesn't help (especially with the infamous squirrel suit moment), the apology from Lynn to Lincoln certainly counts. She really does sound like she feels genuinely bad that she was so unfair and hurtful to her brother. The rest of the family follows afterwards. They really do seem happy and relieved Lincoln can be near them again.

Frog Wild

Lana's love for frogs and disgust at the idea of dissecting them. She even made a video about her and Hops; it's sufficient enough to make Lincoln, Ms. Johnson and Principal Huggins cry.

Kick the Bucket List

During the montage of Lincoln and Clyde writing their bucket list, when Lincoln falls asleep on the porch, Rita comes out to cover him with a blanket.

Party Down

After her own party bombs, her younger siblings invite Lori and her guests to their party, where they all end up having a great time. Made more heartwarming when the parents come home, and rather than being mad at her, they actually encourage Lori to continue the party.
Doubly awesome is that it's Leni's picture of her siblings having fun that convinces all of Lori's friends to come back when they see it online.

Shell Shocked

After breaking the egg that they were assigned to, Lincoln makes it up to Ronnie Anne by telling Mrs. Johnson about the whole ordeal and convinces her to give him and Ronnie Anne a second chance.
- Ronnie Anne then offers Lincoln waffles as a thanks when Lincoln ends up losing the waffle breakfast prize as a result of the above mentioned egg breaking.

Pets Peeved

The Loud kids playing with their pets at the beginning of the episode and hugging them near the end of the episode.
In a strange way, while the Loud pets tricked Watterson into being caught and brought to the Green Mile Sanctuary, they also thought that it would be a place where he would be happy and treated well. When they find how bad the place is in reality, they decide to go save him.

Pulp Friction

All the Loud sisters helping Lincoln and Clyde to get out of detention and post their Ace Savvy comic in time. It's a nice change after previous episodes showed them making fun of Lincoln because of his love for comics.
Lincoln and Clyde helping Principal Huggins by combining their comics together so they both win. It was even nice to see that Principal Huggins had a soft spot inside of him.
Lincoln using his sisters as models to create the characters of his Ace Savvy comic is also nice. So is the fact that he makes each of them into a badass superheroine.
Rusty: "Where did you get the idea for all those butt-kicking superladies?"
Lincoln: "From my sisters. They've always got my back."

L is for Love

How supportive of each other's love lives the siblings are is heartwarming enough, they all even know the name of their siblings' crushes, but special mention goes to everyone cheering on Luna who isn't as confident about her crush as the others. Becomes doubly so when it turns out that Luna's crush is on a girl, and going by how everyone, even the parents, refer to Sam, her being a girl is only a secret to the audience.
- When it's revealed that Lily's crush is her teddy bear. She later draws a picture for it.
- The idea of making Luna LGB is another progressive move for Nick in regards to their ties to the aforementioned community.
- This episode also shows that despite the fact that Leni is obsessed with her own looks, she is not shallow at all. She has a crush on Chaz, an overweight, geeky boy and it's obvious that the only thing that matters to her is that he is a Nice Guy with similar interests.

The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos

Bobby/Lori and Lincoln/Ronnie Anne parting ways when the Santiago siblings and their mother go to visit their relatives.
C.J. excitedly saying Bobby's name when he, Ronnie Anne, and their mom arrive. The young boy then proceeds to leap into his older cousin's arms.
Lincoln getting along great with the Casagrandes when they first meet.
Lincoln telling Ronnie Anne how to talk to the audience. Not only is he passing the torch on to a new show, but it feels that both she and the audience are gaining a new friend.

Out of the Picture

Lincoln choosing to upload Lola's new photo into the yearbook when forced to choose between her photo and his own due to the slow computer.
Lola expressing her gratitude to Lincoln for fixing her bad photo, calling him the best brother ever. It's a big improvement over her usual bratty behavior.
Lola giving hugs throughout the episode, from baby Lily to Lincoln and Clyde.

Room with a Feud

Lincoln being willing to stay Lily’s roommate so his other sisters can keep their new roommates too, since they are all happier that way.
- And then the sisters all switch back to their old roommates for Lincoln's sake.

Back Out There

Sure, they were wrong about Lincoln being hung up on Ronnie Anne, but still, it was nice of Liam, Zach, Clyde, and Rusty to try and help him get over her.
The very end of the episode when Lincoln admits to the audience he is in love with Ronnie Anne after all:
Lincoln: I guess the guys were right... I really do miss her. (Looks over with a loving smile on his face)

Spell it Out

Lincoln seems to feel bad about getting Rusty Spokes's character killed in the video game.
The parents cheering up the sad Lori, Lincoln, and Lynn, with Rita even joining in with Lynn and the punching bag when she tells her story and asking Lori if she wants to join her book club (even though Lori's not interested).
Rita: "They literally kicked you off the team? That's not fair!"
Lucy's siblings apologising for "walking all over" her, and Lucy apologising for trying to hex them. They then watch Lucy's show together, which Lucy describes as "magical".

Garage Banned

The siblings harbor no hard feelings towards Lori after she decides to leave them to live on her own in the garage. In fact, they actively help her to stay by fixing the problems she has in her new home.^note
Instead of mocking her for wanting to move back in with them, Lori’s siblings happily greet her back into the house and give her a group hug.
The relationship between Lori and Lana is adorable in this episode. It's revealed that whenever Lana suffers a nightmare, she seeks the comfort and safety of her big sister Lori by sleeping with her. This happens three times in this episode and it's implied that Lana sleeping with Lori is a frequent occurrence.
Lana: I wish Lori was here. She would make us feel safe.
Leni reminding Lana that she wants to respect Lori's wishes to be alone despite also missing her big sister.
Lori's routine of brushing Lola's hair whenever it gets too tangled. Lola is at a complete loss of what to do without Lori to help her, and things quickly go awry when Lisa gets involved. When Lori does move back in, she realizes how much she missed that time spent with Lola.

Change of Heart

Leni's eagerness to help Clyde act more normal around Lori, from her warm, encouraging smile as he nervously explains himself to literally leaping off the couch to get started. It all reminds you why she's not just "the dumb one" but also "the kind one."
- Speaking of Leni being kind, most of the time when Clyde passes out, it's seen as an annoying Character Tic by other characters. Leni, however, seems legitimately concerned.
  Leni: "Oh no! Poor Clyde..."
Upon hitting on the idea of recruiting Leni to help, Lincoln doesn't exhibit any reservations or uncertainty, even though he would be quite justified. He has every confidence in his sister, even though likely no one else would.
The reason Lori wants to win Clyde back is because he thinks she was too mean and moved on to Leni. She feels guilty and then realises she has to apologise.

Job Insecurity

Feeling like they got their Dad fired, all of the siblings band together to get him a new job and intend to surprise him with it after they get him hired. Although it turns out there was a big misunderstanding, seeing all their efforts towards helping their Dad out of a bad situation is really touching in showing how much they care about him, and how far they're willing to go to make up for a mistake they've made.
Lynn Sr. returns the favor, telling his children that contrary to their beliefs, they make his life better every day and that they're more important to him than any job, as they are irreplaceable. His boss is so moved by this that he immediately gives Lynn Sr. his job back.
- It's also worth noting that Lynn expresses no anger or frustration when he realizes the kids have found a new job for him or even later when they quit his new job on his behalf, as he knows they all meant well.
Lola feeling for her father when she sees he now washes dishes for a living, clearly feeling he deserves better. Later she is ecstatic when she finds out this is merely the first step in her father becoming a professional chef at his new job.
Mr. Grouse masquerading as Mr. Loud is also worthy of note, as he is normally unwilling to help the siblings with their schemes. Downplayed a little as they did have to bribe him with food, but he made a lot more of an effort to help than he normally does when he's bribed to help the Loud family.

Future Tense

While they were misguided, Mr. and Ms. Loud didn't force their kids to do activities they didn't like to show off the Yateses. They did it because they were afraid they were failing their kids and wanted them to be able to face off the "competitive world" when they grow up.
- Related to this, after they tell the kids to just be themselves, the Yates family comes by, and is curious about what's happening. While Rita does gloat a bit about more lenient parenting, it's playful rather than condescending. Plus, the Louds immediately offer the Yateses a chance to hang out with them, which they accept.
While it is dampened a bit by the fact that they did it to be well-rounded and not out of altruism, the Yateses and then the Louds save turtles.

Friend or Faux?

Throughout the majority of the episode, Lisa saw no point in having friends, and even after hanging out with Darcy and accidentally hurting her feelings, she confesses to Ms. Shrinivas that she still doesn't understand it, which causes her to be put in time out. During this, Darcy comes around to give her a cookie since she looked so sad, causing Lisa to be confused and asks Darcy on why she would act so concerned for her. Darcy just gives her a simple response of "That's what friends do for each other", which makes Lisa finally understand the point of friendship. She then proceeds to split the cookie in half and offers Darcy the second piece, prompting her to join Lisa in time out while Ms. S both watches in approval and changes Lisa's F in Social Skills to an A.
- Despite Lisa genuinely upsetting her, Darcy still wanted to be Lisa's friend and help cheer her up.

Yes-Man

While they did guilt-trip Lincoln into helping them convince their parents to give them money, Lincoln's sisters are also very grateful for his help and genuinely praise and acknowledge him as the master of convincing.
When it looks like Lincoln's unable to convince his parents to give him money, Luna agrees to help by lending him her guitar so he can try another approach to convince them. And given the fact that he uses Mr. Coconuts right after, then Lucy's gravestone, we can guess that Luan and Lucy tried to help him too.
The Loud sisters organizing their own concert for Lincoln after he misses out in a VIP concert of SMOOCH because, as due to the sisters using Lincoln's tactics to ask their parents for money, Lincoln was unable to get the money he needed for the concert. They even managed to convince SMOOCH to drop by at the house for him.
- They acknowledge him as their VIB. Very Important Brother.
- The lyrics of the aforementioned concert consist of saying how much they think that Lincoln is the best brother ever.
- The concert ends with all the sisters giving him a group hug.
When Lincoln finally caves in and tells Luna about how to be convincing, her eyes light up.

No Spoilers

Simply all the efforts deployed by the kids to throw a surprise party to their mother. Sure, they weren't very good at it without Leni's advices, but they were committed.
And of course the actual surprise party organized by Leni, which features Pop Pop and Aunt Ruth among the guests. Also, Rita's joyful reaction when she sees it.
And after all the chaos in trying to keep Leni from spilling the beans, the siblings realize that Leni truly is the best equipped at planning a surprise party, and let her have the honor of doing all their parties from now on.

Mall of Duty

Lincoln doesn't even hesitate to give away his precious signed book to bribe Scoots to help him rescue Lily. At the end of the episode, he acknowledges to his younger sisters that they are way more important than the autograph he was looking for and apologizes to them for dragging them into the mall for his own selfish reasons. Lucy, Lola, Lana and Lisa forgive him. They later stop him from revealing to their parents that he didn't do his job as a babysitter responsibly and make up a story to cover for him… In exchange, he has to let them keep the baby ducklings Lana helped hatch during their time in the mall.

Read Aloud

By the time Lola successfully reads a book, the pizza contest is over and the rest of the family takes it out on Lincoln. Lincoln doesn't even try to defend himself this time, only for Lola to confess. The episode ends with Lola using her newfound reading ability to make her own pizza for the family.
Lincoln helping Lola read in general. He is just so patient with her, as well as genuinely happy that Lola is finally reading something, even if it takes so long that they miss the competition.

Not A Loud

The fact that Lori said hi to Clyde was heartwarming in and of itself, signifying her becoming kinder to him overall.

Tricked!

Lincoln and Clyde giving all their Halloween candy to the kids in their neighborhood to replace the candies the two jocks stole from them earlier.
Both Lincoln and Rita were able to tell, even through her lack of emoting, that Lucy was really happy with the corn maze set up and how well it ended up going.
- It's also worth noting that the whole family eagerly helped her build and decorate her corn maze, and that the oldest sisters actually agreed to spend the night in it to scare the people entering the maze.

The Crying Dame

The fact that the siblings, as much as they hate Fenton's jingle, are willing to bring him back in any way, shape, or form just to get Lily to be happy again.
After Lily's Heroic BSoD, it's oddly heartwarming to see her get Fenton back in the form of Lincoln dressing up as him.

Snow Way Down

Clyde and his dads making amends after the whole ordeal on the Ramp of Insanity, and even dragging Lincoln into the group hug.

Snow Way Out

Lana giving up her winning wrapper so Flip will get the Louds home. Her siblings greatly appreciate her sacrifice, and Lana eventually still gets to meet her idol.
