Imo, Doll Day Afternoon was one of the BEST episodes of the series. The team did a GREAT job at focusing on the emotional value. The way it turned out SHOCKED me to the point I would cry! Luan is the most relatable character to me, from corny jokes, to that innocent smile, to the sensitivity! This episode dealt with similar issues I have dealt with in the past. When you are about to lose something you love is like losing a family member! Luan is also my favorite of the Loud's and the show! Some people don't understand how troubling my life can be sometimes and I praise this episode for showing that to me! Great episode!

The first episode of this pair is the worst episode in this arc. Just putting it simply. I am not gonna sugarcoat it, this episode was atrocious. Not as bad as Force of Habits, but it came close. This, in short, is one of the weirdest episodes I've watched in forever. Let's just get into this.
If I haven't made it clear, this episode is really bad... I get scared every time Andrew Brooks writes episodes, 99% of the time they're really bad, he wrote Tough Guise and Taunting Hour too! This one is certainly no different, it's really really annoying.
That is mostly due to Lynn Sr. In this episode. I couldn't stand him in this, I knew Brad wasn't a bad guy and the dude should've just left him alone. It's not that though. You wanna know what's even weirder? The second half. Lynn Sr. And Lincoln go in the barn as "rodeo clowns" (SpongeBob reference?) and swap Brad's horse for some bull. Unsurprisingly, it escalates to nothing.
The second I saw that Brad had songs named after Rita, I instantly called that it was a different Rita, *in a sarcastic tone* oh my god I was right. And the fact that he didn't name the horse after Rita Loud, like... wow! How.. ugh, I can't even say it.
The song is probably even worse though, what in the world is this? Rita Likes Pita is the song. Tell me why I feel like they only made this song to pad out the runtime? Lyrics and instrumental make Save Royal Wood's songs look like Mozart. Worst episode of the season yet.
1/10.
Doll Day Afternoon is the second best of this arc. Now, it's not even THAT good, but for a Luan episode I was pretty shocked. I like these kind of high chase mystery stories (if not ruined by Velma), so this episode was alright for what it had to do.
I don't really like the fact that it was about Mr. Coconuts... but I mean, it's fine I guess. The "depth" they added to Mr. Coconuts by giving him a dad and a backstory is just... AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL ANYTHING FOR THIS PUPPET?
At least I can say the mystery was unexpected, as I probably never would have guessed that the thief was Coconuts' dad. I don't have much to say on this episode. It's not that bad, but it's not good due to how strange it is.
5/10. Would've liked it more if it was maybe like... Lana's pet going missing? At least I would've cared.
