The NFC & AFC East's Reaction to Week 11

This episode begins with the NFC brothers in the living room, having a staredown. Rocky looks terrified, and pulls out something and lays it on his lap. (We later find out that this was a gun.) Gus and Bruce explain to Rocky that his odds of keeping the crown are low, and Wildflower tries to help in his weird manner. A discussion about destroying legs ensues, followed by Wildflower threatening Gus and talking about murder during Thanksgiving. You know, a completely normal conversation. We then cut to Carl and Joe in a car, getting ready to go to the NFC brothers’ house. They have a brief talk about the events of the past weekend, and then we move to Frederick, who is trying to control himself over letting up another Hail Mary. Bruce walks in, and Frederick pulls him into a conversation about if he is a good person. He starts talking about how Bruce and Springsteen were always so mean to him, and we get a couple of flashbacks to the summer episodes, including the scene where we got the, “You didn’t get no stickas.” Frederick then goes on to say that he is better than the both of them, acting like a jerk. Then they get interrupted by Carl, who needs them to help move in their Dad. Bruce then realizes that Rocky wanted to kill their Dad if he ever saw him again, and we flashback to when Bruce was “writing” the letter to Springsteen, saying the exact same thing. Carl looks stunned, and Frederick asks where Rocky is. We then cut to Joe, standing next to the car, waiting. He hears someone come out of the house, turns around, and sees Rocky, who says, “You.” We can feel the tension between these two, the history that they share. Rocky looks like he is in a trance when he pulls out his gun, aiming it directly at Joe. He hesitates for a split second, and then he pulls the trigger. The bullet hits Joe below his ribs. He presses his hand to the wound, only to have it come away, drenched in blood. Joe collapses into the car, trying to hang on, gasping for breath. He falls back a bit more, and he’s trying to get a grip. He looks at Rocky, and he stares back, in shock. Sadness washes over Joe’s face. Too soon, the gunshot wound becomes too much, and Joe passes out in the car. We then cut to… Joe? Standing outside the car, we see him, looking back at his body. He searches for the gunshot wound to find… nothing? He hears something behind him and slowly turns around, where we see Springsteen, wearing a Jets Brett Favre jersey. He says, “Hey Dad,” and the episode leaves us on a cliffhanger.
