"Are you sure it's a good idea to have this many people play Telephone?" Ronnie Anne asks.

Today all the Louds (including the parents, but excluding Lily), the McBrides (Clyde, Howard, Harold), the Santiagos (Bobby and Ronnie Anne), the Spokes brothers (Rusty and Rocky), and the rest of Lincoln's friends (Liam, Zach, and Penelope) were all gathered in the Louds' backyard waiting patiently to play a game of Telephone.

"Of course. As the old saying goes, the more the merrier," Luan comments.

"Besides, it might be interesting to see just how different the finishing word is compared to the starting word," Luna comments.

"But still...there's 22 people here. Doesn't it kinda seem like overload?" Ronnie Anne wonders.

Lincoln and Rusty came up to Ronnie Anne, Luan, and Luna.

"That's why we're splitting into teams. We'll explain in a little bit," Lincoln says.

"Ahem," Rusty cleared his throat and nudged Lincoln's side with his elbow.

"Oh right. But first, we gotta talk to my mom and Lori about organizing the teams," Lincoln says as he and Rusty walk away.

The two of them make their way towards Lori and Rita, who are in charge of organizing the teams and are the ones who will give their teams words to whisper to each other.

"Do you know who you want on your team?" Rita asks Lori.

"Sure," Lori replies.

The two of them see Lincoln and Rusty approach them.

"Hey Linc, what's up?" Lori greets.

"I need you and mom to do me a favor," Lincoln says, jumping straight to the point.

"Sure, what do you need?" Rita says.

Lincoln places his hand on Rusty's shoulder, "This is my friend Rusty. Can you guys please make sure he and Luan are not on the same team?" Lincoln explains.

Lori and her mother look at each other in confusion and then back at Lincoln and Rusty, "Why?" They ask in unison.

Lincoln looks at Rusty so that he could tell them why. The redhead faced Lori and Rita and rubbed his scalp.

"Let's just say Luan made me hurt myself," Rusty says quietly while continuing to rub his scalp.

There's a couple seconds of silence before Lori speaks up, "Sure. You can be on my team," Lori says with a smile.

"And I'll put Luan on my team," Rita reassures.

Rusty's eyes light up, "Oh thank you. I really appreciate it," Rusty sighs in relief.

Rita gestures her hand out towards Lori, which makes her hand her mother a whistle. Rita places the whistle in front of her lips and blows it really hard, making Lincoln and Rusty jump and catching everybody else's attention.

"Alright everyone, listen up," Rita yells.

Everybody who was gathered in the backyard immediately stopped talking and turned their full attention to Rita.

Lily crawled to her mother and tugged on Rita's pant leg. Rita bent down and picked up her baby, "Sorry sweetie, you can't play this time," Rita kissed Lily on the head and put her in a little playpen next to the garage so she can at least watch the game.

Rita turned her attention to everybody else, "Ok, it's time to split into teams. When I call your names, line up in front of me," Rita instructed.

She points to each person as she calls their name, "Lincoln, Zach, Lana, Clyde, Liam, Rocky, Luan, Ronnie Anne, my husband Lynn Sr, and Howard." Each of those people did what they were told and lined up in front of Rita in the order they were called.

"Excellent job. Lori?" Rita looks at her oldest daughter.

"Alright then, my team line up in front of me," Lori instructed. She calls out the rest of the group, "Bobby, Lynn, Lola, Penelope, Lisa, Lucy, Rusty, Leni, Luna, and Mr. McBride." All those that Lori has called line up in front of her, with Bobby in the front and Harold int the back.

"Good, now raise your hand if you do not know how to play Telephone," Rita requested.

Penelope, Zach, and Rusty raise their hands, which means that they need to be explained how to play.

"Ok, so how this works is that Lori and I will think of one word and we'll whisper it to the first person in line. The members of each team keep whispering until they reach the end of the line. Understand?" Rita explains.

Everybody nods their head, "Ok then. Lori, do you want to start?" Rita says.

"Sure I'd love too," Lori faces her team, "Boo-Boo Bear, I'll whisper a word to you and you whisper to Lynn and so on."

"Of course babe," Bobby says.

Lori whispers the word "cat" to Bobby's ear. He then whispers to Lynn, who continues whispering down the line. After Penelope whispers to Lisa, the word starts to get a little muddled, slowly becoming nonsense.

When Rusty whispers what he heard to Leni, she gasps, "That's not appropriate," Leni tells Rusty.

"I'm sorry that's what I heard. Go ahead and pass it on," Rusty insisted.

Leni whispers a different, but similar sounding, word to Luna. Luna finally whispers the word to Harold.

"Mr. McBride, what did you hear?" Lori insisted.

"I heard 'cute'. Was that it?" Harold asks.

"Close enough, but no. It was 'cat'," Lori explains.

"Wow, I was way off from what I heard," Rusty comments.

"Why? What did you hear?" Lori questions while tilting her head and raising an eyebrow.

Rusty starts to shyly rub his arm, "Well...it's a word that starts with the letter C and...rhymes with…runt," Rusty confessed.

Everybody who knew what that meant gasped in horror while screaming "Rusty!"

"I told you that was inappropriate. Which is why I didn't say that to Luna," Leni comments.

"I said the word CUT. You know, like cut with scissors. How on earth did you get that word from cut?!" Lucy cries in shock.

"I said I was sorry. Plus, you whispered it so quietly, I could barely hear it," Rusty insisted.

Rita faces her own team, "Lincoln, when I give you a word, you whisper to everybody else," She instructs.

"I know mom," Lincoln answers.

Rita whispers the word "dog" to Lincoln's ear. The word continues to get passed through the line but starts to get a little jumbled once Clyde whispers it to Liam. When it comes time for Liam to whisper to Rocky, there's once again a misunderstanding that leads to hearing something inappropriate and Rocky being forced to change what he heard from Liam. After he whispers it to Luan, the word starts to alternate between "duck" and "dock". It's only a few seconds when the word reaches the end of the line towards Howard.

"What did you hear?" Rita asks Howard.

"Duck. Was that it?" He wonders.

"Ooh, so close, but it was actually 'dog'," Rita answers.

Lincoln steps out of his line and faces everybody else, "Does anybody want to play again?" He asks.

Everybody looks at each other in silence. It's decided that nobody wants to play a second game, so everybody starts to walk away, with the Loud sisters going into the house and anybody who's not a Loud leaving the backyard and going home. The only ones left standing in the yard are Lincoln, Rita, Lynn Sr, and Lily (since she's still in the playpen).

"So...I guess we'll go inside," Lincoln comments.

Rita picks up Lily and follows her husband and son into the house.
