"Snow Escape" is the fourth Christmas episode of the Nickelodeon animated series The Loud House. It and its partner episode, "Snow News Day", were produced as the 23rd episode of the show's sixth season.
Synopsis[]
It's the last day of school before the start of winter break, and the Loud kids are excited for the holiday parties their respective classes are holding today. As the siblings admire the snow outside, while Lynn Sr. shovels their walkway and Lola showing off her star costume for the 2nd grade play she'll be in, they hear Patchy Drizzle announcing on the news that the amount of snow on the ground today makes for a perfect "Packing Day" (named so because of how much easier it is to pack snowballs). This announcement scares the living daylights out of the entire family, with Lincoln explaining to the viewers that Lynn Jr. always goes completely feral on "Packing Day", ruthlessly pelting her family with snowballs. After witnessing Lynn Sr. fall victim to Lynn's attacks (where he's forced to take shelter in Vanzilla), and with no mode of transportation to take them to school (due to Lynn popping Vanzilla's tires and school buses no longer going down Franklin Avenue on "Packing Days" due to an incident last year), the siblings have no choice but to walk to school, but not before equipping themselves with armor. After getting suited up, the kids promptly head to school.
As the kids cautiously head to school, Lynn discovers their presence and immediately closes in on them. She fires a barrage of snowballs onto her siblings, causing their shields to break apart from impact. As a result, the siblings begin to gun it, but Lucy, Lana and Luna are taken out, prompting them to tell the others to go on without them. While Lincoln, Leni, Luan, Lola, and Lisa hide behind a fence, they discover Lynn approaching fast, and realize they need to hide. Spotting a Christmas decoration on a nearby lawn, the five siblings quickly disguise themselves as the decoration. While trying to run to school, Lynn arrives, forcing the siblings to stand still and trick Lynn into thinking they're just a singing decoration. Lynn initially falls for the trick, but Lola, unable to resist making her performance more extravagant, ultimately blows their cover, causing Lynn to begin chasing after them. After a brief chase, the siblings believe that they evaded Lynn, but she suddenly appears from under the snow and snags Luan before dragging her away. Quickly, Lincoln tells his remaining sisters to follow him.
Arriving to Lynn's Table, Lincoln, Leni, Lola and Lisa seek refuge inside the restaurant. When Lisa says that none of them will make it to school with Lynn on the prowl, Lincoln gets the idea of turning the tables on Lynn by trapping her in the restaurant. After getting their trap set up, Lola uses the illuminated lights on her costume to lure Lynn to the restaurant. Seeing the lights in the distance, Lynn arrives to the restaurant and ends up falling victim to her siblings' trap, where she is shoved and locked in the food storage locker. Unfortunately, the second the siblings leave the restaurant, Lynn appears before them, having picked the lock and, because they shoved her in a room full of food, she's now completely energized. As the four defenseless siblings prepare themselves for a painful pummeling, Lincoln discovers that every time Lynn burps, snow from the restaurant's slanted roof falls off. Getting an idea, Lincoln asks Lynn if they would like to trade spots, to which Lynn agrees, much to the others' chagrin. On cue, when Lynn lets out a massive burp, the vibrations cause the snow on the rooftop to fall onto her, temporarily immobilizing her. Seeing this as their chance to escape, Lincoln, Leni, Lola and Lisa quickly head off to school.
Sometime later, the kids and the parents relax in the living room while chowing down on all the snacks they got from their respective parties. At that moment, Lynn arrives and asks her family if they're cool with her after what she did to them today. Before she can get an answer, Patchy Drizzle appears on the TV and announces that, given their current weather conditions, he declares that tomorrow will be another Packing Day. This prompts Lynn to rush out of the house so she can get herself ready. The second she leaves, Luna points out that there's no school tomorrow (since it's the start of winter break), meaning that the siblings have an excuse not to leave the house. Regardless, the family decides not to bother telling her.
Notes[]
Goofs[]
- When Luna ran past Lincoln as he was explaining what Lynn does on packing day, his arms clips through Luna's body.
- When the sibling prepared themselves to walk to school, Lana's winter attire color palette is the same as her normal outfit.
- After they ran out of the garage, her winter outfit changes back to her neon green and gray coat.
- Plot hole: It's never explained how Luna, Lucy and Lana managed to make it to school after they were attacked by Lynn.
- It's also a mystery of what happened to Luan when she was captured by Lynn or how she made it to school as well.
- Lola wasn't seen running with Lincoln, Leni, Luan, and Lisa when they disguised themselves as a Christmas decoration.
