At school, Lincoln finds a sloppy joe in his pants with a love note from Ronnie Anne. His classmates tease him, and accuse him of being in love with her, but Lincoln asserts that he doesn't like her that way and asserts why he doesn't. Unfortunately, Ronnie Anne was behind him and she storms off, obviously angry about what he said. Noting how upset she looked, Clyde points out that Lincoln may have really hurt her feelings, but Lincoln figures that she'll get over it.
However, when Lincoln gets home from school, a livid and heartbroken Lori informs him that he made Ronnie Anne cry, which in turn led to Bobby breaking up with her--when Lincoln expresses confusion as to why Bobby would care, Lori reveals that Ronnie Anne is Bobby's little sister, and adds that Bobby told Lori that he can't bring himself to go out with someone who's related to someone who hurt someone he's related to (in this case, his sister). Fortunately, Lori was able to arrange a double date between herself, Lincoln, Bobby and Ronnie Anne at a French/Mexican-fusion restaurant in the hopes of patching things up--Lincoln (very reluctantly) goes along with it, after Lori explains that Bobby will only get back together with her if he sees Lincoln being nice to his sister and apologizing for what he said in person.
At the restaurant, the two couples attempt to connect while Clyde, disguised as a waiter, repeatedly tries to humiliate Bobby and make his move on Lori. Later on, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne manage to find some common ground by talking about how embarrassing their older siblings are. When Bobby sees their siblings getting along, he happily rekindles his relationship with Lori. However, Lincoln sees his classmates are also at the restaurant and tells Clyde to help him to get him out of the restaurant without them seeing him being with Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne share a kiss.
Their plan to get out fails and Lincoln's classmates accuse him of being on a date with Ronnie Anne. To save face, Lincoln asserts that he's not on a date and insults her like before. Once again, Ronnie Anne overhears Lincoln's insults and runs off in tears again, making Bobby break up with Lori again. Feeling guilty, Lincoln tries to show Ronnie Anne he does care by kissing her in the middle of the restaurant for all to see, much to the delight of their older siblings (and Clyde's annoyance) who immediately get back together, and gleefully hug each other saying "YES!" in unison.
The next day, Lincoln is once again getting teased by his classmates, but chooses to accept it because he feels it's better than ruining his friendship with Ronnie Anne. Suddenly, she shows up, slaps him for the kiss and breaks up with him, causing his classmates to stop their teasing and offer him their sympathies. He then finds a note from Ronnie Anne saying that the break up was unreal to get them to stop mocking him, something that Lincoln truly appreciates. Clyde comes by, upset about not being with Lori, but cheers himself up by dancing with the Mexican musicians and Lincoln joins in as well and both shout out "Olé!" as the episode ends.

This episode marks Ronnie Anne's first on-screen appearance (she was mentioned before in "Heavy Meddle", but didn't appear physically). It's also revealed that she and Bobby are siblings and that Bobby has very strong protective instincts towards her.
When this episode was originally pitched, Chris Savino wondered what it would be like if Ronnie Anne (who was back then nothing more than the girl who displays love towards Lincoln in abusive ways) was Bobby's younger sister because this would likely cause drama, given Bobby's relationship towards Lori, so he made her into Bobby's sister.[1]
The process of making Ronnie Anne Bobby's sister resulted in her heritage changing from white (only present in concept art)[2] to Mexican-American.
This is the first episode in which Lana and Lola are absent.
The title card of the episode doesn't feature Lincoln's physical form, but instead the red circle on the title card is drawn to resemble his head.
Lori wears Bobby's "Three Wolf Moon" sweater again, but this time, the wolf is on the right side of the sweater, which could make it a different "Three Wolf Moon" sweater than the one worn in "Driving Miss Hazy".
At Jean Juan's, Lincoln mentions a "fromage con queso", which humorously translates to "cheese with cheese".
Irony:
The classmates mocked Lincoln's relationship with Ronnie Anne, but when she "broke up" with him, they feel sorry for him.
Ronnie Anne uses the same line for the fake breakup with Lincoln that he used to upset her.
This is one of the rare moments in the show where Clyde gets annoyed with Lincoln. In this case, Clyde gives Lincoln a deadpan expression after he makes a pun.
International edits[]
The scene where Ronnie Anne kisses Lincoln in the Filipino dub was cut when the episode first aired on Yey!, as public displays of affection between children are not seen as socially acceptable in the Philippines.
However, the scene was left intact when the episode aired on ABS-CBN.
References[]
Save the Date - The title of this episode is a term used to refer to an announcement of the date and location of a wedding.
Tirso de Molina - The "Jean Juan's" in the full restaurant title, "Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet", could be a cultural reference to the fictional character, Don Juan, because the playwright showed how Don Juan had to pay for his sins. Similarly, Lincoln was forced to pay for his own sin, in which his sin was that he made Ronnie Anne cry (unintentionally, however he still knew better), which had caused Bobby to break up with Lori. Therefore, Lori had forced Lincoln to go on a double date with her and Bobby, with Ronnie Anne as his special girl, in an attempt that Lincoln and Ronnie Anne will get along, for if they do, Lori's relationship with Bobby would be healed.
Beauty and the Beast - When Clyde is consoling Lincoln at the end, he says "story as old as time", which refers to the film's title song.
Las Mañanitas - From Lincoln's line "So how about that math test" to when Clyde crushes the nacho chip, the traditional Mexican birthday song can be heard in the background.
Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil - One of Lincoln's taunting classmates resembles a younger version of Brad Buttowski, another animated show Chris Savino has been working on.
Errors[]
When Lori tells Lincoln Ronnie Anne is Bobby's sister, and shows him a picture in her album of Bobby giving Ronnie Anne a piggy back ride, Bobby overlaps Lori's hair, even though they are behind her.
Lincoln is wearing his regular jeans and shoes instead of his khakis and dress shoes.
When Lincoln and Lori meet up with Bobby and Ronnie Anne at Jean Juan's French Mexican Buffet, Lincoln's khakis and dress shoes are mis-colored like his jeans and sneakers.
When Lori jumps into Bobby's arms after Clyde knocks over the desk, the heel on Lori's shoe is missing.
When Lori says "Uh, uh, actions speak louder than words." the closed captions misspell as "Unh Unh."
Lori has a bracelet on her right wrist for the date, but when Ronnie Anne runs off in tears after Lincoln insulted her, she doesn't have the bracelet.
When Lincoln's classmates are teasing him, he is sitting in the middle of the table. But when Ronnie Anne walks up to him, he sits in the corner of the table.
What happened to the flag symbol?
When Lori and Bobby are about to make, the flags in the back showed to represent the flag of Italy, though the restaurant is both French and Mexican.
When Lincoln makes fun of Lori and Bobby's relationship by mimicking what she said, the closed captioning says he's mimicking Bobby.
When Lincoln's classmates are walking in the restaurant, one of the customers is missing their legs.
The time of day the date occurs is supposed to be night, although it appears to be daytime when the outside of the restaurant is shown.
