The episode starts at the food court over at the Royal Woods mall as Leni was on her lunch break from Reininger's sitting with her work friends Fiona and Miguel at the vegan buffet.
Leni Loud: Thanks for inviting me to lunch guys.
Fiona from The Loud House: It's my pleasure Leni, this is one of my favorite spots to eat all things vegan.
Miguel from The Loud House: Aren't you glad I suggested this place?
Leni Loud: I never knew this place was full of green food.
Fiona from The Loud House: It's called a Vegan buffet for a reason, it's all plant material.
Then Leni hears a familiar voice.
Voice: Hey, there is my Penny Leni!
It's Leni's boyfriend Gavin, Leni squeals in joy to see that Gavin showed up.
Leni Loud: Gavy!
They both ran up to each other and gave each other a hug, hearts surrounded each other.
Leni Loud: Gavin, I'm so happy to see you.
Gavin from The Loud House: Me too Leni, I've got a surprise for you...
Leni Loud: A surprise? For Me? Is it my birthday?
Gavin from The Loud House: *chuckles* Not quite Leni, this is something for our three month anniversary of our first date.
Leni Loud: Oh, what is it?
Gavin from The Loud House: Here it is!
Leni Loud: *screams in joy*
As she got something Gavin gave her, it was a shopping bag, she reached in and she grabbed what appears to be a shoe box, Leni even squealed with Joy.
Leni Loud: EEEEEEEEE! It's new shoes!
Gavin from The Loud House: Yes, it's shoes, but...
She opens it and, to her surprise, it was not the shoes she wanted.
Leni Loud: Huh? These aren't the shoes I wanted.
Gavin from The Loud House: These are tennis shoes.
Leni Loud: Tennis shoes?
Gavin from The Loud House: I figured that we should enjoy going on hikes together and venture to Tall Timbers park, I got tennis shoes too.
Leni Loud: Oh, so we aren't going out for tennis?
Fiona from The Loud House: *to Leni* Tennis shoes aren't just for tennis, they are for walking.
Gavin from The Loud House: Fiona's right, now that we are a couple, we can do new things, hiking is one of those new things we should do together.
Leni Loud: Wow, that's um...great, I love these shoes and...
Gavin from The Loud House: Well...aren't you going to try them on and see how they fit?
Leni Loud: I love too but...
Miguel from The Loud House: Come on Leni, just try them on.
Leni did what Miguel suggested, she takes off her regular flip flops and slips them on, she doesn't have her shoes tied up.
Leni Loud: There, they fit.
They looked confused, she didn't had her shoes tied.
Gavin from The Loud House: Uh Leni, aren't you supposed to tie them?
Leni Loud: Just a quick pair on to see if they fit me.
Gavin from The Loud House: Leni, I better see you wear your new shoes. And they better be tied, okay?
Leni Loud: Yes Gavin.
Gavin from The Loud House: Guess I'll leave you three to your lunch, see ya!
Gavin left the three friends, Miguel and Fiona looked concerned.
Fiona from The Loud House: Leni, What the heck? Why didn't you tie your shoes?
Miguel from The Loud House: Is there something we don't know about?
Leni Loud: I have a confession to make... *looks around and whispers into their ears* I don't know how to tie my shoe laces.
Miguel and Fiona from The Loud House: *laughs*
They stop to learn that she's serious.
Fiona from The Loud House: Oh, you are serious.
Miguel from The Loud House: *to Leni* We understand, girl but if this is what Gavin wants you to do, then you do it.
Fiona from The Loud House: He's right Leni, nobody likes tying shoes, but you have to do it for Gavin.
Miguel from The Loud House: *to Fiona* You tell me girl, I heard from one guy who told another guy, who also told another guy, who also told another guy, who also told another guy, who told another guy, who told another guy that his ex girlfriend gave him tennis shoes for his birthday and got dumped because he couldn't tie his shoes.
Fiona from The Loud House: She dumped him because he couldn't tie his shoes?
Miguel from The Loud House: Yeah, that is what her deal breaker was.
Fiona from The Loud House: So why couldn't you tie your shoes?
Leni Loud: Because every time I tie them, my fingers get stuck. So I had to get my Mom and Dad to help me untie my fingers and tie my shoes.
Miguel from The Loud House: Why didn't they teach you?
Leni Loud: They gave up afterwards.
Fiona from The Loud House: Leni, you have to learn how to tie your shoes, Gavin is giving you a deal breaker.
Miguel from The Loud House: Trust me, if you don't learn to tie your shoes like he asked you to, you are going to lose him.
Leni Loud: But but but but–
Fiona from the Loud House: *to Leni, interrupts her* Do it, because you may end up boyfriend-less...forever. *echoes*
Leni Loud: *keeps getting the word "Forever" stuck in my head*
It then cuts back to Leni screaming on the top of her lungs with her pillow stuck in her face back home.
Leni Loud: This is ridiculous, why can't my friends just accept me for not tying my shoes? It's totes not fair!
Then there was a knock on the door.
Lincoln Loud: *opens the door* Leni? I need a ride to Gus', Clyde and I want to play the new David Steele arcade game Gus just rolled in.
Leni Loud: Not now Lincoln, I have a crisis.
Lincoln Loud: Oh? Okay, so what's the crisis all about?
Leni Loud: Gavin gave me a new pair of tennis shoes and I'm worried that he will break up with me if I don't learn how to tie my shoes.
Lincoln Loud: Couldn't you just get Mom or Dad to help?
Leni Loud: They gave up after I failed to tie my shoes.
Lincoln Loud: Oh right.
Leni Loud: I'm in so much trouble, I don't even know what to do...
SpongeBob SquarePants: *pops up from the entrance to Leni's doorway* I can help!
Lincoln Loud: *to SpongeBob* Okay, I guess you can help, the other sisters are too busy anyway.
Lynn Loud Jr.: *offscreen, to Lincoln* Not me bro, I'm still in my bed trying to fight this common cold, and I seem to be losing it. *coughs*
Lincoln Loud: *to Leni* Anyway, SpongeBob can help tie your shoes, then you can do it on your own, what do you say?
SpongeBob SquarePants: Alright!
Slide transition cuts to SpongeBob teaching Leni how to tie her shoes.
SpongeBob SquarePants: *to Leni* Okay Leni, are you ready to show Gavin your new shoes?
Leni Loud: You bet, I can't wait to show off with Gavin!
SpongeBob SquarePants: One more thing, *gives Leni a study note* in case your shoes untied, study this until you get it right. But remember... Practice makes perfect.
Leni Loud: I will SpongeBob, thank you! *happily leaves SpongeBob's house and drives away*
Screen cuts to Lincoln asking SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Mr. Krabs.
SpongeBob SquarePants: *to Lincoln* Now what was it you were going to ask us?
Lincoln Loud: I was asking... Would you take me and Clyde over to Gus'? I want us to play the new David Steele arcade machine.
Patrick Star: Yeah, I love the arcade.
Mr. Krabs: And money.
Squidward Tentacles: Typical.

Leni Loud: Hi Gavy!
Gavin from The Loud House: Leni, I'm so happy to see you... *gasps* O.M.Gosh... you are wearing the shoes I gave you.
Leni Loud: What do you think?
Gavin from The Loud House: Awesome! I can't wait for our date tomorrow.
Leni Loud: Totes!
They both place hands on each other and hearts formed around them and they kiss each other on the cheeks, they release from each other.
Gavin from The Loud House: Do you remember our date tomorrow?
Leni Loud: Oh yes, our walk at Tall Timbers park.
Gavin from The Loud House: More of a jog, but close enough.
Leni Loud: I'll be counting the numbers...
Gavin from The Loud House and Leni Loud: Nine hours and fifty nine seconds!
They both giggled and blushed.
Leni Loud: See you tomorrow Gavy!
Gavin from The Loud House: You too Penny Leni!
In happiness, Leni smiled, meanwhile back at the house, Lincoln is reading a David Steele comic book.
Leni Loud: *opens the front door with a smile on my face*
She came to Lincoln and gave them a big hug.
Leni Loud: Thank you both so much, you are totes sweet to teach me how to tie shoes... and Carol too.
Lincoln Loud: It was my pleasure Leni. I know how to tie my shoes.
Screen cuts to the flashback of "Father from Down the Lane (Lincoln's Shoes Untied)" where Lincoln is in the living room.
Flashback Leni Loud: *walks to Lincoln* Hey Lincoln. Your shoes untied.
Flashback Lincoln Loud: I gotta try to tie my shoes, Leni. *ties my shoes*
Flashback Leni Loud: I don’t have shoelaces. I have sandals with a bow.
Back to the present.
Leni Loud: If it hadn't been for you three, I would have never gotten to tie my shoes.
Lincoln Loud: Glad I was to help.
Leni Loud: Now that I've learned to tie my shoes, I can finally show off to Gavin. Now tomorrow, even though Mom and Dad put me in charge, I called Carol and asked if she will be subbing for me while I'm out on a date and she said yes.
Lincoln Loud: That's great.
Leni Loud: I won't be gone long, but I promise I'll be back before Mom and Dad get home.
Lincoln Loud: That's good Leni. I hope you have a good date Leni.
Leni Loud: Thank you Lincoln.
She ran upstairs to her room and looked at her wardrobe.
Leni Loud: Hmmm...what to wear, what to wear, what to wear...Oh, I can wear my jogging shorts.
She grabs a pair of Turquoise shorts from her closet.
Leni Loud: Now for a top that matches...Oh, here's a cute top.
It was a Turquoise tube top, she decided to wear.
Leni Loud: I don't know, it might be too small for me...but then again it's probably going to be too hot tomorrow, but we shall see... *puts my clothes on Lori's bed*
As she saves them for tomorrow, then she looks at her shoes, a thought bubble pops up and SpongeBob appears.
SpongeBob SquarePants: *in thought bubble* Remember, practice makes perfect!
The thought bubble disappears, and Leni practiced tying her shoes, the next day, Gavin in a white tank top and black jogging shorts came to The Loud House, he rings the doorbell.
Gavin from The Loud House: I totes can't wait for Leni to run in those new shoes I gave her, glad she's got siblings to teach her how.
Leni Loud: *opens the front door and
She comes out with her ponytail, tube top which exposes her midriff and belly button, she also has her turquoise jogging shorts and new tennis shoes on.
Gavin from The Loud House: *starts going nuts over Leni wearing her top*
Leni Loud: *comes down to Gavin with a smile* What do you think, Gavy?
Gavin from The Loud House: *blushes* You look...um... *stutters* st-st-st-st-st--
Leni Loud: Stunning? Of course, ready for our date?
Gavin from The Loud House: *snaps myself out of it* Yeah, let's go.
Leni Loud: *to Carol* Thanks for subbing for me Carol, take care of them.
Carol Pingrey: Have fun on your date, remember what I've taught you, bye!
They both waved and Leni got into Gavin's car, they drove out of The Loud House and into Tall timbers park, they stopped at the jogging spot to where they would start jogging.
Gavin from The Loud House: Okay Leni, let's get our legs pumping, but first, we stretch.
Leni Loud: Got it...wait...Why do we need to stretch again? I'm not a Worm am I?
Gavin from The Loud House: No, it's for a warm up, start stretching.
Leni Loud: Okay.
Leni and Gavin stretch themselves until they are ready.
Gavin from The Loud House: Ready?
Leni Loud: Ready.
Gavin from The Loud House: Let's jog from here and back.
They both start jogging, unknown to Leni, her note on tying shoes fly out of her pocket, they started to jog to the jogging area, they were getting a bit of fresh air and continued to jog, they were a little out of breath and went on into the woods for the shade.
Gavin from The Loud House: Leni.
Leni Loud: Yes?
Gavin from The Loud House: It's great that you are wearing these shoes I bought you.
Leni Loud: Lincoln? I love him.
Gavin from The Loud House: Did you get help from anybody?
Leni Loud: My brother Lincoln and our good friend Carol.
Gavin from The Loud House: Ah, that's nice.
Leni Loud: I finally learned how to tie shoes on my own.
Gavin from The Loud House: That's great, I bet you'll be wearing these for whenever you go out for a jog.
Leni Loud: *huffs and puffs* That's great honey... *huffs and puffs* Do you think we should stop...? *huffs and puffs* I'm losing breath.
Gavin from The Loud House: Come on girl, get those legs moving and your blood pumping.
Leni Loud: *huffs and puffs* Okay...you...are...the...man...
They continued to jog through the forest and onto the pond, they found a bench and stopped to take a rest
Gavin from The Loud House: Well, looks like we found a place to rest for a little bit.
Leni Loud: Thanks Gavy.
They both sat down and rested, they started to enjoy the sights of Tall Timbers Park, they looked at the frogs croaking and saw the Ducks swimming by them, they were happy to be together as a couple, Leni thought to herself.
Leni Loud: *in thought* Wow, this is a nice place to be, I'm happy that Gavy is happy for me to try out these shoes he gave me. Although come to think of it, was he really serious about breaking me up if I didn't learn to tie my shoes? Oh well, he was just bluffing, nothing to worry about.
Then Gavin grabbed two packs of Apple slices, he kept one for himself and gave another to Leni.
Leni Loud: Oh, Apples. I could use a snack.
Gavin from The Loud House: Wait a minute my love. While we can eat most of the apples, let's save some for the Ducks.
Leni Loud: Ducks? Wait... I thought Ducks eat bread.
Gavin from The Loud House: Nope, Apples are much more healthy for them, then bread. Besides, bread is not really healthy for them.
Leni Loud: Oh.
A couple of Ducks came swimming up to Leni and Gavin, they quacked and wagged their tail feathers as they were feeding them, they too ate most of the Apples from the pack, together, they ate five Apples and fed them four of the them for the Ducks to have their share of food, they stopped feeding them after they ate their Apples and shared them with the Ducks, he turns to Leni.
Gavin from The Loud House: Leni?
Leni Loud: What?
Gavin from The Loud House: I wanted to say thanks for accepting my gift and our date at Tall Timbers park.
Leni Loud: You're welcome, and thanks for the new shoes, Lincoln knows my name. I love him.
Gavin from The Loud House: I know you like him... *gets an idea* Say um, tomorrow, in your new shoes, would you like to go to the amusement park with me?
Leni Loud: Amusement park?! *screams with glee*
Gavin from The Loud House: Easy Leni, easy, I know you are excited, but just try to calm down okay?
Leni Loud: Right.
Then Gavin notices that one of her shoes was untied.
Gavin from The Loud House: Wait a minute Leni...
Leni Loud: What's wrong?
Gavin from The Loud House: Your shoes untied.
Leni took a look at her shoe, one of her shoes is untied.
Leni Loud: Okay, now all I need is...
She reached for her pocket and to her surprise, it was gone, she panicked.
Gavin from The Loud House: Uh Leni, is everything alright?
Leni Loud: Uhhhh, everything's fine. Uh. I uh, need to uhhh, use the bathroom.
Gavin from The Loud House: There is no bathroom.
Leni Loud: Um uh...
Gavin from The Loud House: Can you tie your shoes? Like how your brother and friends taught you?
Leni Loud: Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?
Gavin from The Loud House: What are you looking for?
Leni Loud: My notes...
Gavin from The Loud House: What notes?
Leni Loud: My notes for um... School? *grins
Gavin from The Loud House: *shrugs* Why don't you wait here and I'll look around for it?
Leni Loud: Thanks Gavy.
Gavin from The Loud House: *looks around for Leni's notes*
She however dialed for help, it's ringing, it goes to split screen with SpongeBob on the right and Leni on the left.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Hey Leni, how is your date with Gavin?
Leni Loud: Terrible!
SpongeBob SquarePants: What? I was feeding Gary for dinner.
Leni Loud: No no, it's an emergency!
SpongeBob SquarePants: Are you okay?
Leni Loud: My heart is about to be, my shoe is untied!
SpongeBob SquarePants: Oh, is that it? Well haven't you gotten to tie your shoe like we taught you?
Leni Loud: I lost my note, I practiced nearly all night like you told me, even in my head. We started walking and Gavin noticed that my shoe was untied, I was going to get my note *worried* If I can't remember how to tie my shoe, he'll break up with me for sure!
Leni is panicking.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Calm down Leni, just take a deep breath...
Leni Loud: *takes a deep breath*
SpongeBob SquarePants: Now, let it out.
Leni Loud: *lets out my breath*
SpongeBob SquarePants: Now, remember what I've taught you, practice makes perfect. How many times did you practice?
Leni Loud: At least thirteen times.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Okay, so you may have practiced, so try tying your shoes without the note.
Leni Loud: As in?
SpongeBob SquarePants: Remember, tie a basic knot. Make another knot, make sure the loophole is still open, not too small, not too big. Cross both laces left and right of the loop hole, one lace at a time, and then you pull them, okay?
Leni Loud: Got it, thanks SpongeBob.
They both hang up and the screen goes back to full screen with Gary.
Gary the Snail: Meow, meow!
SpongeBob SquarePants: Good morning, Patrick.
Patrick Star: Good morning, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Good morning, Patrick.
Patrick Star: Good morning, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Good morning, Patrick.
Squidward Tentacles: Will you two please shut up?
SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star: Good morning, Squidward.
Squidward Tentacles: *growls*
Slide transition cuts to Leni remembering what SpongeBob taught her to do.
Leni Loud: First make a knot *does a knot* Make another knot until you see a loophole. *ties another knot, no loophole* Dang it, let me try again...
While Leni was trying to tie her shoe, Gavin went searching all over the woods and trail just to find the note she lost, he nearly got bit by Raccoons, Leni was still trying to tie her shoe, but still couldn't get the second knot right, then Gavin still searching for the note felt like a buzzing noise flying by his ear, it was a Mosquito buzzing by his ear, he tried to swat it, but a swarm of Mosquitoes was trying to bite him, Leni was still struggling to tie the shoe, she finally got the second knot right and made a loophole.
Leni Loud: I did it, I made a loophole!
Then she got one lace to the right and another to the left, but only to get her finger stuck in the loop, she was trapped and could not get up, she screamed for help.
Leni Loud: *screams* HELP! HELP ME!
Gavin got out of the woods and back to where they started, then he heard Leni scream.
Gavin from The Loud House: Leni?
Leni Loud: *offscreen* HELP, HELP, SOMEONE GET ME OUT!!!
Gavin from The Loud House: Oh no, I'm coming Leni!
Gavin ran back to the forest, Leni was struggling to get her finger out from the loop hole she tried to make, she was screaming and jumping until she fell into the pond, Gavin came back and saw Leni with a lily pad and a Frog on top of her.
Frog: Ribbit *jumps off of her head*
Leni Loud: *begins to tear up*
Gavin from The Loud House: Leni? Are you alright my dear?
Leni Loud: *starts to cry*
Gavin from The Loud House: Leni? Why are you crying?
Leni Loud: I'm a failure!
Gavin from The Loud House: What are you talking about?
Leni Loud: I can't remember to tie my shoes without my note.
Gavin from The Loud House: Huh?
Leni Loud: Every time I try to tie my shoes, I get my finger stuck to the loophole.
Gavin from The Loud House: Oh, is that why you had to get help?
Leni Loud: *nods my head* I'm so sorry Gavin, I know you gave me the shoes but...
Gavin from The Loud House: Well they do look nice on you but...
Leni Loud: I know what you are going to say... *cries* You don't deserve to date someone who can't tie shoes, even if they just learned and practiced, you might want to break up with me because I forgot how to tie my shoes, even if Carol did say I should practice. *cries softly*
Gavin from The Loud House: *gives Leni a warm look and lifts her chin up* Leni, it's okay, I understand how that feels, you're not the only one that didn't learn how to tie shoes at a very young age.
Leni Loud: *lifts my head* I'm not?
Gavin from The Loud House: No, you are not, when I was a boy about five years old, I got my favorite pair of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tennis shoes that glowed in the dark...
Screen cuts to a flashback to Gavin as a five year old boy.
Gavin from The Loud House: I was just about to start school at Kindergarten at the time, but there was a problem... I couldn't tie my shoes... So I had to get my Mom and Dad to help me and then they told me I have to learn how to tie them on my own, even though I wore these cool shoes throughout the school year, I was still struggling to tie my shoes...then there was the internet, I watched videos on how to tie shoes.
Screen cuts to young Gavin tying his shoes.
Gavin from The Loud House: I practiced more and more and more until I finally got it done. The next day, as my Mom was getting me ready for school, I surprised my Mom that I could tie shoes, they were both proud of me, as a boy six going on seven, I knew I could do it...
Screen cuts back to the present.
Gavin from The Loud House: The lesson I learned is that when you try new things, it's not going to be easy, but with great practice, comes great experience.
Leni Loud: Like...tying shoes?
Gavin from The Loud House: Yes...not to mention you took your drivers test and practiced.
Leni Loud: Aw Gavy.
Gavin from The Loud House: And just for the record, I wasn't planning on breaking up with you when I said "You better wear these and they better be tied". But come to think of it, it was kinda harsh of me to say that.
Leni Loud: I didn't mean to take it seriously.
Gavin from The Loud House: Well maybe next time, whatever I say, don't try to take it seriously.
Leni Loud: I'll remember next time.
Gavin from The Loud House: And thank you for being so honest with your feelings with me and sharing them.
Leni Loud: *adores by his kind words hugs him* Aw Gavy, I feel much better.
They released each other.
Gavin from The Loud House: Now let's get that finger out of that loophole and let me show you how it's done.
Slide transition cuts to Gavin showing Leni how to tie a shoe.
Gavin from The Loud House: And just like that, you pull two loops together.
Leni Loud: I think I know what to do now! *gets my laces together* First, get two laces and make a basic knot, pull them tightly. *makes a basic knot* Then cross two laces again to make a loop hole. *crosses laces again and makes a loophole* Next have one lace loop through the left and the other through the right side of the loophole. *gets both laces through each side on the loop* And then pull two loops together tightly. *pulls the loops tightly* I did it I did it!
Gavin from The Loud House: Way to go Leni!
They both hugged for five seconds, and they also released from each other.
Gavin from The Loud House: I'm so proud of you Leni.
Leni Loud: Thank you Gavy!
Gavin from The Loud House: Now, what do you say we jog all the way around and back to the car?
Leni Loud: Yes my dear Gavy!
They both hold hands and jog all the way around the pond at Tall Timbers park and back to the car Gavin is driving, later they go out to The Burpin' Burger for their date.
Leni Loud: I got to say... I'm totes lucky to have a boyfriend like you, the kind who understands my feelings.
Gavin from The Loud House: I know, I love you from the moment I laid eyes on you.
They both looked at each other as their eyes started to dazzle, they were about to pucker up and kissed on the lips, the other customers looked in awe, after their kiss, they continue to eat their food, later, they went out to Ketchum park and sat out to look at the sunset, at the lake, two Swans were wrapping their neck around each other, and the Butterflies started to chase each other, Leni placed her hand on Gavin's hand and Gavin placed his hand back on her hand, they looked at each other and blushed again, later as the sun was nearly setting at the Bikini Bottom in Conch Street.
Leni Loud: *gets off Gavin's car from the front passenger's seat* That was a nice date we had, thank you.
Gavin from The Loud House: You're welcome Leni, see you at work tomorrow?
Leni Loud: You bet Gavy!
They both kissed one last time.
Gavin from The Loud House: *drives off from the neighborhood*

Leni Loud: It was totes perfect.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Oh? Tell me all about it.
With a smile SpongeBob is waiting for Leni to tell her how her date is going.
Leni Loud: Well, we started to jog to Tall Timbers park, Gavin said it was good exercise...
SpongeBob SquarePants: Aww, Leni. I think I'm gonna explode! *inflates with love heart holes, then explodes into love hearts, leaving behind ashy love hearts*
