[Sister Sledge's "We Are Family"]

- It's another royal morning here in Royal Woods.

The sun's out, it's a beautiful day,

and we're all feeling in a family way.

So enjoy this last day of summer, y'all.

- Today is a huge day.

After three months, Clyde is finally returning

from French camp, just in time

for the last day of summer.

Summertime.

Summertime.

- Hey!

There they are, the boys of summer!

You guys want to join in? - Not now, Dad.

I love my family more than anything,

but we're on a mission.

both: Heads-up.

both: Aah! - [laughs]

Check.

both: Lincoln, look, we got our tee--

♪ ♪

Nothing says summer like an unattended bowl

of jelly beans.

- What are you doing?

- We're packing an entire summer

into one day. - Ow!

- We're bound to break some rules.

- Don't eat that!

- Don't listen to her, Clyde.

We're making memories today.

- Quite the contrary.

Those are memory-erasing jelly beans.

I made them for Mr. Nibbles, because he's mastered my maze,

and I don't want to build a new one.

If he can't remember his way out,

that means the beans work.

- So if Mr. Nibbles can't complete the maze,

that means his memory is erased.

And since Lincoln ate the jelly beans,

his memory would be gone too.

[suspenseful music]

- Precisely.

♪ ♪

[Mr. Nibbles squeaking]

- Wow, this is a very suspenseful moment.

♪ ♪

By the way, who are you people?

[together] Hey, Lincoln. It's me, Dad.

Hi, buddy.

Ah. - Clincoln McCloud?

So what do you think, Doc?

- The tiny scientist is right.

His memory is gone.

In medical terms, it's called

acute onset anterograde amnesia.

I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.

I'm sorry, son.

- That's okay, Dad.

- I'm not your dad.

Well, if you folks will excuse me,

I've got a backyard belly flop contest to win.

- No, no. Wait, wait.

You can't leave. [all protesting]

Isn't there anything we can do to make you stay?

- Well, according

to the nation's leading medical experts,

listening to and performing music can tap into memories

which reactivate areas of the brain

associated with memory.

- Oh. So we just need to sing to him?

- Yes.

[together] Oh, we can do that.

- But based on the number of jelly beans he's eaten,

bringing his memory back is a near-impossible task.

- Well, we're the Louds.

We don't know the meaning of the word "impossible."

- Does it mean, like, extra-possible?

- That's right, Leni. - Hmm.

- The Louds are about to do the extra-possible.

Lisa, how many jelly beans did he eat?
