The Loud House Nickelodeon
Episode 17a: Sitting Bull
So this episode starts with the older Loud sisters who are all baby sitters for some money, finding out that they need one of them to baby sit some kids but can't because they are already booked. Leni brings up Lynn who is 13, and says why not her? Episode cuts to the answer. They decide to ask Lincoln but because he's not quiet she over hears him and wants to baby sit. Reluctantly, they agree. Lyn decides to have children wrestle each other, because she's Lynn and wants people to do Lynn things.
This of course, went badly. The other sisters find out that Lynn scared the kids and they are fired from babysitting their kids. She begs for a second chance and they say no. This episode since it's season 3 also is going hey look it' s Lincoln, alright go away now. (Woof) Lynn decides the best of course of action is to do it anyway by, taking the jobs without the other older sisters knowing. (This is a bad plan)
Since the girls notice that they've not been getting calls, they call up some regulars and find out that Lynn took them and did them not well. Their plan is also a weird nebulous between bad and good, because they want Lynn to want to quit so they find a way to get the most dangerous kids to be baby-sat by Lynn. That would be the Fox Quintuplets.
They talk to Lynn and decide to tell her she did a great job and she gets to baby sit the quints. Good thing Lynn doesn't question why her sisters who didn't want her to do it in the first plae now want her to do it, just because they told her that quick lie, glad she doesn't think or this plot would have fallen apart. The Fox Quints are very mischievous kids and now the older sisters are thinking about their plan as they start to remember everything the kids did to them and realize their plan was also bad. (duh)
They go check on Lynn and find out that everything is good, because apparently, Lynn's nature worked with the quints and yes, that works. The older sisters say they felt bad about sending Lynn into doom and are glad that these kids worked out for her. Lynn apologizes too and got their jobs back.
Here's a weird thing about this episode, it's not very clear. The line that Lori says "...they weren't just the right kind of kids for you..." is a kind of odd. The idea that Lynn needed the right kind of kids to watch , instead of her needing to understand that she should tone down her actions a little around kids is kind of mixed messaging. It's not getting Lynn off for being wrong, because she understands what she did was wrong, meaning the whole going behind their backs and taking jobs thing, but it's a strange thing to message. It's like they took an episode moral for something else and changed the words around. Change the line slightly. "... [maybe] it wasn't right kind of sport or class for you," it makes more sense. In the baby sitting business they'd come across different kind of kids, now of course they have different strengths and weaknesses and there's merit to that, but the episode doesn't take the time to say that.
I do like the Lynn+ Fox quints interactions , I wish there were more in the future. This is a good episode, but there are some misses to it, it could have been stronger, but's it's not a bad rewatch or anything of that sort. I give it. 7/10.

Episode 17b: The Spies who Loved Me
This is an episode setting everyone else up for the Loud House spinoff. By this point it was announced there was going to be a spinoff featuring Ronnie Anne and her family because yes. So this episode focuses on them and not the Louds, so there we go.
The episode does include Lincoln calling Ronnie Anne through video, so you can see him. They want the viewers to remember this is the Loud House, incase a viewer turns on their TV and is completely confused. (this post is getting weird) Ronnie Anne's grand parents over hear that she's going out. The grandparents are concerned because this is a big city, and don't think she should go out alone. (To be kind pandentic, they are kind of right, but since this also a cartoon city and not even a "Hey Arnold"city, she's probably not in any real danger, but alright find suspend reality for a moment) Ronnie Anne says that she'll be fine and has everything she needs.
The grandparents recruit Carlota and Carl joins her to spy on Ronnie Anne and watch through video phone everything Ronnie Anne does. The family ,watching back at home, get concerned about everything because danger lurks everywhere. (ah danger!) Carl runs out ot stop the potential dangers, this is most of the episode, until Ronnie Anne catches them. She doesn't like they are spying on her because Ronnie Anne thinks the 4th amendment is important. Carl decides to be like the NSA and snuck a tracking device on to Ronnie Anne. Also Lincoln exists to remind you this is the Loud House.
The family is now tracking Ronnie Anne until the tracking device falls out of her backpack and ends up in a rat. Now they now think the rat is Ronnie Anne. Ronnie Anne ignores their call because she's annoyed. The family goes out and tracks Ronnie Anne instead, because the rat. They find the riat with the tracking device. Eventually the rat has other rat friends and becomes a giant pack of rats. Ronnie Anne gets their call and saves them from rats. Apparently, the moral of the story is Ronnie Anne can take care of herself, and glad we got this out of the way.
It's an alright episode, It's showing that Ronnie Anne understands responsibility and can understand how to function in her environment, while the family has to understand that they should have some confidence in her, while they are right to be worried about her well being. It's good for that episode, the Bobby in the freezer gag was unnecessary. There' s not much really to say about this episode, overall that it was a good set up to get more of these characters and see how a spin-off would work. I give it 7/10.
That's it for now, tune in next time when the Fox quints get their own spinoff.
