Based on a True Story

Part 1:

After the title card, Girl Jordan and her family are seen leaving their home in Louisiana for a sixteen-hour move to Elwood City. They soon arrive and unpack their things at their new house, which is a few houses away from where the Loud family lives. Lincoln and Lana walk down the street to meet the Jameson family.

When they get there, Girl Jordan invites them into the house. After introducing one another, Lincoln then gives Girl Jordan  a rhubarb pie that his dad made. Girl Jordan likes the pie and begins to tell stories to Lincoln and Lana, but the pair have to go to Grandma Scoot's house. After Lincoln and Lana leave, Matthew shows up, revealing that he had been spying on Girl Jordan and says that she talked too much and scared them away. Girl Jordan tells Matthew that he shouldn't spy, since it's against the law, but Matthew blames his toy dinosaur Raptor instead. Matthew goes on to tell Girl Jordan that she shouldn't be herself and act less "Girl Jordan-ish".

The next day at Royal Woods Elementary, Mr. Huggins introduces Mrs. Johnson’s class to Girl Jordan, their new classmate. Girl Jordan is nervous until she sees Lincoln inviting her over to sit next to him. At lunch in the cafeteria, Lincoln and his pals ask Girl Jordan questions about where she is from and what she does. Girl Jordan tells them a story about when her older brother Chas was working at an alligator sanctuary one summer, until Mrs. Johnson  calls the class back for history.

Over the next week, everyone starts listening to her stories. Many are impressed with her stories and she even went as far as telling them to the Tough Customers.

Meanwhile, Matthew tries to impress Lana with his animal sounds, doing a pig sound and a whale sound. Lana isn't impressed and subsequently leaves. Matthew feels upset that Lana didn't like his animal sounds, claiming that she said his pig sound was "too oinky". Girl Jordan tells him that it takes time to make friends. Matthew then questions how Girl Jordan made friends, and even asks if she is paying them. Girl Jordan tells him that her new friends like her partially because she tells great stories. Matthew then asks what will happen to her if she runs out of stories to tell, and Girl Jordan claims that the Atlantic Ocean will dry up before she runs out of stories.

The next day at the playground at school, Girl Jordan is telling stories, but this time Lincoln and Clyde have heard of her stories before. Soon, Lincoln and Clyde start talking about an episode of Dark Bunny that they saw the night before, and Girl Jordan feels sad and left out. She soon starts to leave, but her friends ask her where she is going, to which she replies she is going to get her mittens. Lincoln and Clyde look at each other concerned.

Later that night, Girl Jordan is sleeping and she soon dreams about what may happen if she no longer has any interesting stories to tell her new friends. She then wakes up and starts writing down a made-up story to tell her friends.

The next day at school in the cafeteria, Girl Jordan starts to tell her "new" made-up story to her friends. After Liam corrects a flaw with her story, some of the others start to question it, as she didn't tell them in advance that her story was made-up in the first place. Eventually, Girl Jordan admits that she fibbed the story, and most of her new friends abandon her.

Part 2:

The next day at school in the cafeteria, Lincoln  wants to give Girl Jordan a second chance, but Leni and Luna disagree with his idea. Lincoln and Clyde decide to give her another chance, and move over to the table where Girl Jordan is sitting. They tell her that they like her just the way she is and to just be herself. Lincoln, Clyde, and Girl Jordan are once again friends.

Meanwhile, Lana and Lola are having a tea party with Matthew, but instead, he changes the pretend tea to tomato soup. Lana tells Matthew that they're playing tea party, not lunch. Afterwards, Matthew thinks that Lana doesn't like him. His toy dinosaur Raptor talks to him, and Matthew decides to try telling jokes to Lana to impress her.

Later, Girl Jordan is going to go exploring, and her mom makes her wear a hat that her Aunt Susan bought that Girl Jordan states is itchy and ugly. As Girl Jordan is exploring, she sees an eagle and pulls out her cellphone to take a picture of it, but she ends up missing it. She turns to get her hat that she threw to the ground after it kept slipping over her head, but discovers that a raccoon took it. Annoyed, Girl Jordan chases the raccoon to get her hat back, but she trips on a tree root instead. However, she finds a lost gold watch in the snow, and decides to return it.

Girl Jordan returns the watch to its owner, who in turn gives her four quarters. Girl Jordan, annoyed at the fact she only got four quarters for returning a watch that was lost for seven years, decides to get juice from a vending machine and receives a lot of change from the vending machine, much to her excitement. As Girl Jordan is walking along with the change from the vending machine in her pockets, she sees a hat almost identical to the one that the raccoon had stolen from her earlier in the day in Care to Ware, and decides to buy it with the change from the vending machine.

The next day at school, Girl Jordan tells everyone about what happened to her the previous day, but her friends don't believe her. Girl Jordan tells Lincoln she will prove it to him after school.

Meanwhile, Matthew is telling a joke to Lana as they are building a snowman. Lana notices that the carrot is missing, and wants to know what happened to it. Matthew admits that he ate it, and he replaces the carrot nose for a rock, much to Lana's displeasure. Then Winston and Skippy Fieldman throw a snowball at the snowman they were building and knock the head off, after which the twins start chortling. Matthew then confronts the Fieldmans, despite Lana's warning to him. The Fieldmans are scared of Matthew, and run off after he gives them the "Matthew Jameson Power Stare". Lana is impressed by his staring, and the two become friends.

After school, both Lincoln and Girl Jordan look to find proof of Girl Jordan's story by going to the various places that Girl Jordan visited, but after not finding proof, Girl Jordan is very disappointed that she can't prove that her story is true, but Lincoln believes that it all happened, making Girl Jordan happy. As they are about to go back home, Lincoln spots the raccoon wearing Girl Jordan's old hat.

At school the next day, Girl Jordan and Lincoln tell everyone about it, and show them the hat as well. Girl Jordan gives the hat to Leni, who likes the hat and apologizes to Girl Jordan for not believing her. Luna thanks Girl Jordan for not giving the hat to her, and states that she really is a good friend. Girl Jordan is delighted.

Afterwards, Girl Jordan tries to wrap up the show, but Lincoln outsmarts her and wraps up the show. Girl Jordan then is about to tell another story, but Lincoln stops her, and she runs off, saying "The End!" to the viewers. The episode then finishes.
