It's game night once again in the Loud house. This time, the game is a round robin tournament, where the goal is to answer as many general knowledge trivia questions before 10 minutes are up.
The question cards are shuffled and Lynn Sr, being a mediator (so that none of the children stack the deck in their favor) pulls out the first card.

"Lana! With 6 points!"

"Well, that was fun!"
"And in the unranked, is Lincoln, who lags behind at 5th place with 0 points."
"…"
"Well, that's a successful game night. See you later, kids."
"Later, dad!" The siblings all chimed as Lynn Sr leaves the dining room
"Don't worry, Linc. You'll get it next time."
The sisters disperse, leaving Lincoln as the only one left. He slowly climbs up to the second floor and heads toward his room. As he enters and lays down on his bed, all he can think of was how pathetic that was. It's not because he lost, he can handle that, it's the fact that despite his best efforts, he didn't even get A SINGLE POINT…it's just like "Who's Line Is It Anyway?". The points don't matter and neither did Lincoln's participation. If Lily was allowed to participate, even she would get at least 1 point. But him, not a one…at least his sisters were able to show some of their knowledge off. He never got a chance. Is he still smart? Lincoln tries to bury that thought as he goes to sleep.
