[The episode begins at the Loud House outside where a bird can be heard, then it cuts to Lori opening the door to her room.]
Lori: [sighs happily] "Time for my 4:00 call with Bobby. Literally, the highlight of my day."
[Lori calls, as it then shows Bobby's phone ringing, which he picks up and smiles before his grandpa interrupts him.]
Hector: "Roberto, come quick, the freezer case is having another meltdown. YAAAHH!!" [sliding across the floor and crashes.]
Bobby: "I'm on it, Grandpa." [runs to help his grandpa, before answering to Lori's call.]
Lori: [confused] "Huh, that's weird. Why isn't he picking up?"

[Back at the bodega, Bobby is trying to clean up after the freezer case incident, he looks up and sees Lalo.]
Bobby: "Think you can get the last of this, Lalo? I've got to call Lori back."
[Lalo barks in agreement and starts licking, as Bobby goes to call Lori back. Meanwhile, Lori finds out that there is a snake in one of her drawers.]
Lori: [Screams] "Why is a snake in my sock drawer?!"
[The snake tries to bite her, before Lana could intervene.]
Lana: "She needed a warm spot to lay eggs." [Lori frowns by that]
Bobby: [Worried] "Why isn't she answering? Oh, is she upset I didn't pick up before?"
[Lori then proceeds and pushes Lana and her snakes out of her room, before going to her phone to call Bobby. A double-screen appears.]
Bobby & Lori: [at the same time] "Hi, ^{Bobby: Babe}/_{Lori: Boo-Boo Bear}. Sorry I missed your- Oh! You go."
Bobby: "So, I have to tell this crazy story about the freezer case."
Lori: [sits on something and screams] "AAAHHH! Not another one!"
Bobby: [Sad tone] "Oh, I thought you liked my stories..."
Lori: "No no no, it's not that. I thought I sat on a baby snake, but it's just a scrunchie,"
[Just then, Lalo throws up on Bobby's side.]
Bobby: [Facepalms] "Ugh! Well, that was a dumb idea."
Lori: "What? I-I didn't do it on purpose."
Bobby: [Frustrated] "Huh? N-No, n-no-not you, Babe. I accidentally made Lalo hurl. But, I'll clean it up later. So, what were we talking about?"
Lori: "The freezer case?"
Bobby: "Oh, right. Uh, actually you don't wanna hear about that. It's boring. Let's talk about your day."
Lori: "Oh, okay. You won't believe what happened in math. Actually, that's kinda boring too."
[Both of them become silent while looking around and think before they both speak in union.]
Bobby & Lori: "Well, you probably wanna- Sorry, you go. Wait, you have to go? Um, ok, well, love you...Bye." [Both hang up sadly]

[Later that night, it cues to both the Loud House and the Casagrande mercado.]
Lynn Sr.: [opens Lori's door] "Dinner's in 5. Trying a new thing with cod-" [Noticing that his daughter is quietly weeping, he walks up to her, worried.]
Ronnie Anne: [opens the mercado's entrance door] "Dinner's in 5. Grandma's making, you know, everything..." [notices that Bobby is quietly weeping] "Dude, are you crying?"
Lynn Sr.: "What's wrong, kiddo?"
Bobby & Lori: [at the same time] "^{Bobby: Lori}/_{Lori: Bobby} and I just had the most awkward conversation ever."
Lynn Sr.: "Aha, stay here. I'll get back up." [runs off to get Rita]
Ronnie Anne: "Uh, this isn't really my department."
[Enter the Casagrandes]
Frida: "But it is ours!"

[Screen wipe to the same scene set up with Rita and Lynn Sr. sitting on Lori's bed and the Casagrandes gathering around Bobby. Both Lori and Bobby are in tears.]
Lori: "Why was it so hard to talk?"
Bobby: "Is the distance getting to us?"
Bobby & Lori: "Are we losing our connection?"
[The double screen ends. Cut to Carl and Bobby.]
Carl: "Yes, it is hopeless. You should let Lori be free to find a real man."
Carlos: [Knowing what Carl is doing, interrupts.] "Uh, Carl, why don't you go use the potty before dinner?" [Carl walks off in annoyance because of that. Carlos and Frida comfort Bobby.] "Don't worry, Bobby. You know your aunt and I were long distance sweethearts while she was in art school."
[Cuts to Lori and her parents.]
Rita: "Oh, your dad and I had to be apart for a month while he had mono."
Lynn Sr.: "Those ding-dang karaoke mics were just dripping with germs."
Lori: [cringes] "Dad, ew."
[Cuts back to Bobby and the Casagrandes.]
Frida: "But even when you are separated by miles, you can still keep the passion of your hearts aflame." [Purrs like a tiger while playfully stroking her husband's nose.]
Ronnie Anne: [disgusted] "Aunt Frida, ew."
[Cuts back to Lori]
Lynn Sr.: "It's all about stepping up your game and showing you care."
Bobby & Lori: "Hmmmm..."

[The next day at the bodega...]
Bobby: [speed dials] "Royal Woods Pizza? I'd like to order a very special pie for a very special lady."
[At the Loud House, the pizza delivery girl rings the doorbell and the twins answer it.]
Delivery Girl: "Hi, I have a delivery for the-"
Lola: "Ooh, pizza!" [takes the pizza, shuts the door, and opens the box to find a heart-shaped pizza inside] "Why is it shaped like a heart?"
Lana: "Uh, I think it's supposed to be a butt." [turns it upside down]
Lola: "Oh, yeah."
[They both shrug and begin eating the heart shaped pizza wildly.]
Lana: "Mm, I like butt."

[Lori is at a print shop requesting a article cover about her and Bobby.]
Lori: "And, make the headline say Babe and Boo Boo Bear named Couple of the Year!" [The employee starts typing on the computer. Lori inhales in excitement.] "Bobby's going to love this~!"
[Cuts to a newspaper truck delivering a newspaper on the bodega front.]
Hector: [opens the door and picks up newspaper.] "I didn't buy a newspaper subscription. I get my news the old-fashioned way: From gossip." [throws the newspaper away in the store before Sergio flies over.]
Sergio: [squawks] "Special delivery." [poops on the newspaper that is on the floor.]

[Later, Lori and Bobby are sitting on their beds looking at their phone depressed. A double screen appears.]
Bobby & Lori: [at the same time] "Why hasn't ^{Bobby: Lori}/_{Lori: Bobby} said anything about the ^{Bobby: pizza}/_{Lori: newspaper}? Did ^{Bobby: she}/_{Lori: he} think it was lame? [facepalms] Ugh! I'm a terrible ^{Bobby: boyfriend}/_{Lori: girlfriend}! I have to try harder!"
[End double screen. The camera cuts to Bobby recording himself for Lori at the bodega.]
Bobby: [waves] "Hey Babe, I'm making a video about my life at the bodega, so you can feel like you're here with me!" [moves camera to the chips and salsa.] "Look, I've moved the chips closer to the salsa. So much better, right? Oh, and here's my Lori shrine." [moves his camera to the cash register where there's a shrine dedicated to Lori next to it.] "Right next to the Lotto tickets, 'cause you're good luck."

[Later, Bobby is on his computer uploading his video to Lori on a heart shaped USB drive and puts it into an envelope, then gets up and heads out the door.]
Bobby: "Ronnie Anne, can I borrow a stamp?"
[Just then, Carl peeks into Bobby's room and sneaks in and swaps out Bobby's USB drive with his own before evilly chuckling on his way out.]

[Later on, Lori is confusingly watching Carl's video on her laptop in her room. He's wearing a fake mustache and poorly playing a guitar.]
Carl: "♫ Mi vida, your beauty inspires my soooouul~ ♫" [gets interrupted by his mother]
Frida: "Hey, sweetie! Got your choo-choo jammies, fresh from the dryer!"
Carl: [yells in annoyance] "MOMMY!!" [gets up and ends the video]
Lori: [annoyed] "Ugh, I don't have time for this." [She closes her laptop]

[Later, Bobby is in his room looking over his phone, until he picks up a call from Lori. The double-screen re-appears.]
Bobby: "Hey Babe, I think I know what you're calling about."
Lori: "A virtual date night?"
Bobby: [mumbles to himself] "Ah, she hated the video so much, she can't even talk about it?" [To Lori, speaks clearly] "Oh, uh, never mind. What's a virtual date?"
Lori: "Oh, it's where we both watch the same movie while talking on the phone! [Inhales excitedly] It'll be like having a real date, even though we're apart."

[Later that night, they are watching their movie and Bobby laughs.]
Lori: [Sobbing] "How can you laugh? Nina just died."
Bobby: "What? Nina dies? Oh, dang it, the video's buffering again." [Pauses the movie]
Lori: [Panics] "Forget I said that! I'll pause 'til you catch up." [Pauses, but then...]
Ad Voice: [To really loud music] "Do you suffer from jock itch?"
Lori: [Annoyed] "Ugh, not another ad! One sec."
Bobby: [Annoyed] "Ugh, still buffering."
Lori: "Never mind, this was a dumb idea anyway."
Bobby: "No it wasn't."
Ad Voice: [Again] "Do you suffer from jock itch?"
Lori: [Over the loud ad] "Let's just talk tomorrow, Bobby."
Bobby: "Oh, okay Lori." [Hangs up]
Lori & Bobby: [Close their laptops] "Ugh, this isn't working." [They both get an idea and clench their fists.] "We need to be together." [The double screen ends.]

[The next day, Lori drives to the bodega, just as Bobby is driving to the Loud House, they are driven with so much passion, they don't even see the other drive right past them. Bobby arrives at Lori's house, while Lori arrives at the bodega, only to be greeted by Carl.]
Carl: "Well. Hello, mi vida, you must have gotten my video. Let me explain about the choo-choo jammies."
[Lori is not in the mood, when she suddenly gets a call.]
Bobby & Lori: [in unison, cheerfully] "^{Bobby: Babe}/_{Lori: Boo-Boo Bear}, guess where I am!" [both realize] "Dang it."
Lori: "Okay, don't move, I'll drive back to you. We need to be together." [runs back to Vanzilla]
Carl: [as Lori drives off] "Mi vida, forget Bobby! You have a real man right here!"
Frida: [offscreen] "Carl, I cut up your hot dog!"
[Carl grows annoyed. Back at the Loud House, Bobby is sitting on the front steps, despondent, and then sees Lori drive up.]
Lori: [Running to her beloved in happiness.] "Boo-Boo bear!"
Bobby: [Relived] "Babe!"
[They run to each other and share a big hug as red hearts surround them.]
Bobby: "I can't wait to show you all the romantic stuff I have planned for our day together."
Lori: "Same here. I made some calls on my drive back."
Bobby: "Let's go."
[They run off.]

[Next up, they arrive at Royal Woods High School.]
Bobby: "Surprise! I thought that we could re-create the first time I asked you out." [holds out a plate of brownies] "Remember when I left brownies in your locker?"
Lori: "Of course I do, but how are we going to get inside? It's Saturday."
Bobby: "I didn't think of that. No biggie, I'm sure there's another way in." [looks over to the window and tries to open it, but accidentally sets the alarm off, causing him to scream.] "AAAH! Scatter!" [They escape into Vanzilla. Lori is speeding down the road angrily.] "Babe, we're like five miles from the school, we can slow down now!"
Lori: "No, we can't! I booked a romantic balloon ride and it's leaving without us!" [The balloon takes off just as soon as they arrive, Lori calls after it.] "Wait! Come back! I already paid!" [Lori sighs, and starts to tear up.]
Bobby: [Comforting Lori] "It's okay babe, it was a really sweet idea any- oof! [A sandbag lands on his head]
Lori: [Gasps] "Boo-Boo bear!"
Hot Air Balloon Operator: "Ah, sorry! I keep doing that."

[Later, Bobby guides Lori somewhere else. Lori is blindfolded.]
Bobby: "You're gonna love this next surprise. Remember our first date?"
Lori: "Of course. You wore a tie and showed up two hours early and took me to... [Bobby takes the blindfold off] "Aww. Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet."
Bobby: [He sees a piece of paper attached to the doors and is shocked.] "Closed for Health Code Violations? [Distressed] Come on!"
Lori: [Comforting Bobby] "Don't worry, boo-boo bear. It was still a sweet idea. And besides, I made us lunch plans too." [They walk off]

[The couple shows up at a restaurant called "The Dark Side of the Spoon".]
Lori: "This is supposed to be the most romantic restaurant in town. You literally eat in complete darkness."
Bobby: "Ooh, trendy."
[They go in and the restaurant is nothing but pitch black inside.]
Bobby: [looks around] "Hey, Babe, I found us a free table!" [sits down to which appears to be someone already sitting there.]
Person #1: "Oof! Get off me!"
Bobby: "Sorry sir, or ma'am with a deep voice."
Lori: "Hang on, Boo-Boo Bear, I think I found a light switch." [turns on the switch for the "lights", but it was actually the switch for the sprinkler system, and everyone gets soaked.]
Person #2: "Turn the sprinkler off!"
Person #3: "My dress!"
[The two get kicked out and are soaking wet.]
Lori: "Ugh, I'm so sorry, Boo-Boo Bear."
Bobby: "Hey, don't worry about it. Why don't we just grab some nachos at Flip's, [Feels his hair] and maybe some paper towels."

[Flip's Food & Fuel]
Bobby: [holding some nachos] "Chili-cheese and jalapeno's. Lori's favorite."
Lori: [filling up a Flippee] "Wild cherry and cola. Bobby's favorite."
[They both turn around and accidentally bump into each other, spilling the nachos and Flippee onto the floor.]
Bobby & Lori: "Ugh, it's hopeless!"
Bobby: [upset] "Babe, I don't know what's happened to us."
Lori: [upset] "Neither do I, but if it's this hard, then... maybe we have to face the truth and think about..."
Bobby & Lori: [on the verge of tears] "Letting go!" [They both cry onto each other and Flip interrupts them.]
Flip: [Angrily] "Hey, snot faces, get cleaning!" [holds out a broom]
[Cut to them leaving Flip's looking sad and depressed.]
Bobby: "Guess I better wash up before heading back. Grandpa will get mad if the bodega truck smells like cheese, or whatever this is."
[Lori looks down and nods. Bobby goes to the bathroom while Lori waits inside Vanzilla. Scene fades to ten minutes later. Lori almost sleeps while she's on the driving seat, then she looks at her phone.]
Lori: [Worried] "It's been ten minutes. Is he not coming back? Does he never wanna see me again? [Bobby calls her] "Bobby?"
Bobby: "Um, hey, so, the bathroom door is broken, and I can't get out of here."
Lori: "Oh, hang on! I'll get Flip."

[Later, Flip investigates the bathroom door knob with Lori behind him.]
Flip: "It's a little temperamental. You just gotta sweet talk it a bit." [Starts yanking on the knob, but it breaks off.] "Dang it. One of yous owes me a doorknob." [Folds his arms and walks away.]

[Late at night, and Lori is still talking with Bobby via cellphone.]
Lori: "Okay, Boo-Boo Bear, the fire department's on their way." [A double screen appears.]
Bobby: "Oh, I hope they get here soon. You know how terrified I am of confined spaces."
Lori: "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay on the phone with you until they get here."
Bobby: "Ah, thanks, Babe. So, what should we talk about?"
Lori "Um, well, I could tell you about that funny thing that happened in math."
Bobby: "Oh yeah, I totally want to hear about that!"
[Time passes...]
Lori: [Cleaning Vanzilla's windshields] "Oh, and last week for dinner, my dad tried this new thing with cod."
Bobby: "Cool. Like fish-sticks, or more of a fillet situation?"
[More time passes...]
Bobby: "Okay, so would you rather give up all cheeses or all desserts?"
Lori: "OMG, hmmm, tough one."
Bobby: "I know, right? Because what about..."
Bobby & Lori: [same time] "Cheesecake?!"
[Both share a laugh, sigh, and sit down.]
Lori "This is so nice."
Bobby: "And so easy."
Lori: "What did we think was so hard again?"
Bobby: "I have no idea! I guess I let that one awkward phone call get me all freaked out."
Lori: "Same! Maybe we've been trying to fix something that isn't broken. I mean, we know we love each other, right?
Bobby: "Of course! You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear."
[A siren wails and flashing lights appear next to Lori. The firetruck arrives. The two are happy. The double screen ends.]

[Later, they are in the firetruck.]
Bobby: "Great idea asking for a ride, Babe!"
Lori: [As Bobby puts his arm around her.] "I know!" [Inhales excitedly] "Isn't it literally so romantic?"
Bobby: "Yeah. Hey, maybe we could try to finish that movie when we get back, even though I know Nina dies."
Fireman: [Angrily as the camera cuts to him.] "Ohhhhhh, come on, man! Spoilers!" [He frowns furiously at the two.]
