As Carol, QT, Whitney, Fiona, Dana, and Becky were being handcuffed by the police, some of the people they knew show up to see what was going on. When Tad rolls by, he sees his girlfriend being apprehended by the police.

He asks one of the cops, "Hey, why are you arresting my girlfriend?" "This young lady here was involved with the molestation of that little boy," the policeman responds, pointing towards Lincoln.

"What?! Becky, is this true?" he says. Although a bit hesitant at first, Becky slowly nods yes. Thus, a livid Tad chastises, "I just can't believe you'd go and cheat on me, Becky. And have the nerve to do it with a little kid, no less."

"Tad, please! Just let me explain!" she pleads. Interrupting, he yells at her, "No, Becky! If this is how you want to improve our relationship, then that's it! We're done! I never want to see you again!" As he storms off, Becky couldn't help but break down uncontrollably, now that she and Tad were through.

When Fiona and Leni's boss, Mrs. Carmichael, checks the scene and asks what happened, Leni explains everything to her employer. "Mrs. C, my little brother got kidnapped by my sister, Lori's rival. Then, she and a bunch of other girls were keeping him in a cage in her basement and raping him, and Fiona was in on the whole thing," she entails.

"Freakin' snitch...", Fiona grumbles towards Leni.

"Oh, is that so, Leni?" Mrs. C inquires before turning to Fiona. "Fiona, what you did was completely unacceptable, And I must say, I thought it couldn't get any worse with you than shopping at the competition. Fiona, you are hereby banned from Reininger's."

"Wait, are you firing me?!" Fiona asks in sheer disbelief. "Yes. How else is that supposed to be interpreted?" As Fiona's being dragged towards the police van, she rants, "You are SO gonna pay for this, Loud!"

Mr. and Mrs. Fox pull up to the crime scene and glare at their daughter, Belle. The mother then scolds, "Are you out of your mind, young lady?! How could you do such evil things to that little Loud boy, Belle?! We raised you to be better than that!"

QT shouts, "SHUT UP!", as she's carted into a police van, along with Fiona and Becky. Recognizing Belle's parents, Lynn Jr. learns, "Wait a sec... That biker chick's from the same family as the Fox quintuplets?"

Lori berates Whitney and Dana, "I literally can't believe you two would ditch me to join up with Carol in a heartbeat, and then go rape my own brother! You two should literally be ashamed of yourselves!"

Dana tries to apologize, but before she fully could, Whitney socks her in the shoulder and tells Lori, "I'll get back at you for this, Loud. One way or another..." She and Dana are then shoved into the truck, along with the others.

Finally, Lori and Lincoln confront Carol. "Well, Carol, it looks like I finally beat you at your own game. But, I guess you've literally had it coming in the end. Anyway, have fun in juvie, Pingrey. And always remember to think twice before you mess with the Louds," she smugly derides.

But Carol only chuckles at Lori's statements. "So you think you've won, Lori? Did you really think you've beaten me? FAT chance. This is just a minor setback. You won't know what I've really got planned until you least expect it."

She looks at Lincoln with a diabolical, seductive grin. "Well, Lil' Linky, I've had tons of fun with you, but now it looks like I'll be going away for a little while. But I'm sure we'll play again very soon."

An aghast Lincoln takes cover beside Lori, hugging around her thighs for protection. Patting her little brother's back to comfort him, Lori then tells the police, "Get her out of our sight." As Carol was being shoved into a police car, she blows Lincoln a kiss and said, "Until we meet again, Lil' Linky. Buh-bye..."

With Carol and her gang being taken away by the police, everyone, excluding Lori and Lincoln. cheer for themselves, as their rescue mission was a rousing success. Just then, another police car, as well as Vanzilla, pull up to the house; it was Officer Schoffner and the Loud parents.

At first, Lynn Sr. scolds his daughters for sneaking out of the house. but when Rita sees her son with Lori...

"Mom!" Lincoln says, as she runs directly toward his mother to fully embrace her. "Lincoln!", Rita shouts back, holding out her arms. Crying tears of joy, Rita gives him a big, warm hug, happy to finally have her baby boy back.

Officer Schoffner requests, "Alright, Louds. All of you will need to come back to the station for questioning." However, upon seeing Rita and Lincoln crying and hugging each other, she then adds, "But you can take your son back home first, ma'am. I think he may need a bit of bedrest." seeing how he's been through some tough times.

As everyone drives back home, Lori starts to dread the entire ride there, aware of how upset Bobby's gonna be with her when she tells him the truth. Once arriving back at the Loud House, Rita cradles Lincoln in her arms, carrying him up to his room, where he would rest.

Lynn Sr. takes the other Loud Siblings back to the police station, while Clyde and Ronnie Anne stay home with Lori.

But when she enters the house, the first thing she comes across was Bobby with a concerned, but somewhat stern look on his face.

"Lori, where have you been? Where did you go?" he asks her.

As her eyes start to tear up, Lori tells the whole story to Bobby, in the most honest way possible.

"And now that you literally know the whole story, I guess this means you'll have to... BREAK... UP... WITH... ME!"

Lori cries out loudly as she breaks down sobbing as she falls to her knees, apologizing for everything she's done and understanding what would happen next.

Bobby didn't know what to do. Lori disobeyed his warning, but... she only did it, just to save her little brother. He knew what he had to do. First, in a stern voice, he tells Lori, "Stand up. Look at me."

Just as Lori was about to cry some more, Bobby... gives her a big hug. He tells her, "What you did was the most honest, bravest thing you've ever done." Lori wonders, "So... you're not going to break up with me?"

Bobby then explains, "No, I'm not. When Lincoln was in trouble, you knew you had to go save him. I would have done the same myself if anything bad happened to my little Ni Ni," forgiving Lori by giving her a peck on the cheek.

The two lovebirds sit on the couch, as Bobby allows Lori to cry on his shoulder, while he tries to calm her down in any way possible.

Meanwhile, in Lincoln's bedroom, Lincoln was placed in his bed, with an ice-pack on his groin, a cooling pad under his bum, and his stuffed rabbit under his arm. Rita also places a cold, damp washcloth on his forehead.

Lincoln moans and cries sadly, nestled in his bed. Rita attempts to calm him down as best she could. Clyde and Ronnie Anne were also by their friend's side, feeling melancholy and pitiful for their friend.

"Will Lincoln be OK?", Ronnie asks.

Rita explains to them, "Lincoln's been traumatized from what he went through. But if he gets plenty of rest, he should be alright," allowing her and Clyde to talk with Lincoln to help him feel better.

"How are you holding up, buddy?" Clyde asks, with Ronnie continuing, "You need me to get you anything, Linc?"

Lincoln tells them, "I'm good, guys. I'm just glad to be back home, that's all."

Meanwhile, back downstairs, after Bobby finally manages to calm Lori down, Rita comes downstairs.

"Lincoln's in his bed right now. Clyde and Ronnie Anne are keeping him company," she informs them.

Bobby asks Lori, "You wanna go chat with Lincoln?" To which, Lori replies, "Yeah, there's something I need to tell him."

After Rita, Clyde and Ronnie Anne leave the room, Bobby and Lori ask the former if they could talk to Lincoln.

"Lincoln's trying to get some sleep right now, but you can still talk to him, if you want."

Bobby was the first to talk to Lincoln, as they were once bros in arms. "Hey, lil' bro. How are things going?" he asks, shaking Lincoln awake.

"Recently, not very good, Bobby. After what I've been through, I'm gonna have nightmares for weeks. Plus, I won't be forgetting what happened to me the past couple days anytime soon," he groans, looking a bit down.

Not sure what to say next for some brief moments, Bobby then starts, "Oh... Well... I'm sure things'll get better for you from here on out."

"Yeah... I guess. At least I won't have to worry about Carol or any of Lori and Leni's old friends for a while."

"You may have a large family always looking out for you, Linc, but remember this. I'm always by your side, little bro. It's fine by me if you want to call with Lori anytime."

"OK," Lincoln says, brightening up a bit. "Maybe we can have a bro day out some of the days you come over, just like old times?"

"Hmm... I'll see what I can do, Linc," Bobby promises him, ruffling his hair a bit.

After Bobby was done chatting with Lincoln, Lori's turn was next. She asks her boyfriend, "Could you wait downstairs, Bobby? I want to talk to him alone."

As Bobby goes back down to the living room, Lori enters the bedroom to talk with her little brother.

Taking a seat on the bed by his feet, Lori asks, "Are you alright, Lincoln? How much did Carol and those other girls hurt you?"

Lincoln simply replies, "Other than Carol and Fiona spanking me really hard, there isn't anything serious. I'm just glad all of that's over."

Sadly, Lori disagrees. Now that Carol has learned of her family, specifically how Lincoln is the one boy in it, Lori knows that she'll try to exact her vengeance some time in the future.

Carol won't rest until she can one-up Lori, no matter what it takes.

"Lincoln, I don't think any of this will be over for good," Lori informed him. "Huh?" Lincoln questions, "What do you mean?"

"Now that I know how deceptive Carol can be, I have a hunch she'll one-up me at something else. And I've literally got a bad feeling that she might use you again somehow."

"That's why I wanna ask you something, Lincoln. When you get all better, can you literally do me a favor?"

"What is it?" Lincoln replies.

"If Carol or any of those other girls ever get out of jail, you stay away from them at all costs. Promise?" Lori tells him.

"OK, I promise," Lincoln said with a nod. "I wouldn't want anything to do with them, anyways."

"Thanks, Lincoln. I'm literally glad to have you back with us," Lori says with a warm smile.

After giving her little brother a hug and a peck on his forehead, Lori leaves the room, feeling much more relieved than before.

When she reaches the last step, she sees that Bobby was sitting on the couch, watching a romantic comedy.

He gestures for her to come next to him, so they can enjoy themselves in peace, snuggled up together on the couch.

Later that evening, when everyone was asleep, Lincoln is seen tossing and turning in bed, due to a nightmare flashing back to recent events, before he wakes up from it, dripping in sweat.

Looking around, he could see that he was still in his room, with the same bed, the same desk, and his plush bunny companion still by his side.

He calms down, as he was happy to be back home, and to not be cuffed to a bed in someone's basement.

He then tells the readers, "I'm so glad I have lots of friends and sisters by my side. They all have my back through thick and thin, no matter what. I just hope I won't have to go through anything scary like that again..."

As he looks out the window, Lincoln knew a storm was brewing outside.

And that storm was a sign. The howling winds and the rumbling of thunder were an omen, and it gives Lincoln a foreboding feeling, thinking back to what Lori told him earlier this afternoon.

As Lincoln crawls back into bed, he starts to get a feeling that somehow... someway... He, his siblings, and his friends have not heard the last of Carol Pingrey...

Epilogue

At a juvenile detention center in between Royal Woods and Great Lake City, as the storm was still blowing, Whitney, Fiona, Becky, and Dana were in separate cells, complaining about what had transpired.

Becky still wasn't over Tad breaking up with her. A furious Fiona squeezes her cell bars as hard as she could.

"That ditzy airhead and all those other twerps just had to go and ruin everything..." she growls.

Dana was regretting ever joining up with Carol and the others, and a jittery Whitney, of course, was going insane over the fact that, "I don't belong here! I'm too pretty for jail!"

They all blame QT, who was sulking in her respective cell, for what happened.

"This is all your fault, Belle! If you never came to us with invites from Carol, none of us would be in this mess!" Fiona yells.

QT angrily retorts, "Just can it, Fiona! I didn't think any of you were going to be that willing to go through with everything."

As the girls were arguing amongst each other, Carol was in another cell, way down in the darkest, dingiest part of the prison. She was writing in her diary about what had happened.

"Dear Diary,

I nearly got away with it.

I kidnapped Lincoln Loud and had Lori's ex-friends help me plow him. I almost officially beat Lori.

But she and those other stupid Loud brats just had to go and ruin all my fun."

She then records, "But in the end, I did get to have so much fun with Lil' Linky~ And I totes can't wait to do it with him again...", as she scribbles several doodles of herself with Lincoln.

Lastly, she scrawls, "But first, I'll have to deal with Lori. Because as soon as I get out of this prison, I'm going to make sure that my true plan will have that Lori Loud tramp end up where I am."

Once Carol was finished with her entry, she gets up from her bed, and walks up slowly to the barred window to look outside, where the storm's pouring down heavier rain.

"You may have won this time, Lori... But this is only the start of what I have in store for you and your family. Because, once I get out of here, I'm going to take everything and everyone you love and turn them against you."

"And once I'm done, I won't be the one who will be wallowing in this cell. And don't you forget about me either, Lil' Linky. Cause I want to play with you some more."

As the thunder rumbles, and the wind picks up... "So go ahead and rest for now, Louds. But you can assure yourselves of one thing..." As Carol turns around, an evil, demonic, psycho-look formed on her face.

"I'll...be...baaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaack!"

As the sounds of lightning bolts clash through the dark sky, Carol's wicked cackles echo throughout the prison!

Whatever Carol's planning, you can bet all your buns it won't be anything good.

But unfortunately, for those of you who are reading, we have now come to the end of this story.

But even as this tale has come to its chilling conclusion, you can all assure yourselves of one thing:

THE LOUD HOUSE WILL RETURN IN: "A Carol of Revenge"
