7 September 1987

Meanwhile back with the female Louds except Lucy Lynn Jr was crying in her room before she fell asleep some time later she's aroused awake by someone before she sees it's Dave and he was not alone he was with Lily, Ashley, Diana, Jackson and Rocky as they stared silently at her it was a very tense and silent moment until Lynn decided to speak

Lynn Jr: Look guys if your here to give me another lecture there's the door don't bother me I'm in no mood for this
Lily: We are not here to lecture you but your son has a question that only you can answer

Lynn barely looked at her only son as she seems like she failed him and after hearing what he had to say earlier it was heart wrenching to even look at his direction. Dave bravely stepped forward and looked into his mother's eyes before he asked his question

Dave: Mom why do you hate uncle Lincoln so much?

Jackson: I would like to the answer to that question too what is your problem with my dad!?

Lynn Jr: What on earth do you mean? I don't hate him

Dave: You always treated him badly for years even now you speak ill of him and from what I heard happened in the story your the one who started the bad luck incident so mom tell me what has uncle Lincoln ever done to you that made you hate him like this?

Lynn Jr was thrown back by what her son just asked but he was not off base as for years Junior definitely had a vendetta against Lincoln which she kept to herself, nobody not even her sisters, friends, parents or Lincoln himself knew why except for the therapist that interviewed her along with the other Louds back in February of 1978 up until September of 1979 she hasn't talked about it ever since but since she knows her son and his entourage well enough and their obviously not leaving until they hear the truth she decided to confess

Meanwhile Lori and Luna were climbing up the stairs with Christina as the three women were talking about Lynn's actions from earlier

Christina: You guys better keep her away from the kids honestly imagine if she said all that in front of them

Lori: I know and I'm sorry we'll keep Lynn down
Luna: Yeah woah dudes the sports chick's door is open a jar with the light and I can hear a few peeps talking let's stop and listen

Back inside Lynn and Lucy's room

Lynn Jr: Look guys in order for me to tell you everything please don't tell anyone once you leave this room I don't want anybody else especially Stinkoln or his family to know about this

Lily, Ashley, Dave and Rocky: Ok but please stop calling him Stinkoln

Lynn Jr: Done, well let's start at the beginning, I was born on June 21st, 1954 while Lincoln was born on July 19th, 1956 so you see we were of close age and both born in the summer unlike our older sisters who were all born in the winter in the early 50s well except for Leni who was born in the spring of 1951 but back on me in the first two years of life everything was great as although I had 4 older sisters I was getting most of the attention in the house by dad in particular because so far I was the closest thing to a boy he ever had and he started doubting if he could ever have a boy and when I was born he and the doctors misidentified me and thought I was a boy that's why I was named Lynn Jr but a bit later the doctors fixed their mistake and dad was crushed but he went on to get me to love sports and stuff and we had incredible fun for those two years but it all changed on 19 July 1956 when mom gave birth to Lincoln and welcomed him home, not long after that all the attention I got at home was gone and dad spent most of his time with Lincoln and he then started get Lincoln all the toys and teach him everything he was suddenly dad's new protege even in pre school I was no longer popular because everyone liked Lincoln and thought his snow coloured hair was cool and I got left out there too even my own sisters didn't have any time for me and started competing with each other on who spends time with him it was from 1958 if I remember correctly at the age of 4 when I decided to start training and flexing my body kind of like how Lisa flexed her mind later on in order to get everyone's attention back I started entering sports teams from the first grade and I got so good that they even allowed me on boys teams years later now somewhere around 1963 I was dad's favourite as Lincoln didn't have a talent yet and he was not interested in anything dad was not even sports except for a being a fan of an overrated and immature fighter in my opinion Cassius Clay who would be eventually known as Muhammad Ali and dad was more and proud of me as I joined the best sports teams and I gonna get scholarships for high school in 1969 and college somewhere in the early 70s probably in the year 1973 into the later parts of that decade But obviously that didn't happen because of Lincoln in short He ruined my life
