The NFC & AFC East's Reaction to Week 14

We open to a flashback from 2012. We see Wildflower, although he is not wearing his glasses. He’s talking (without the accent) about RG3 and how Washington is going to be on top. We cut to 2013, where Rocky is laughing about RG3 not being a franchise quarterback. Wildflower looks slightly closed off here. Then we’re in 2014, and Gus is saying that this is the year that the Cowboys go to the Super Bowl. Wildflower looks more defeated here. Cut to 2015, and Wildflower looks more confident, talking trash again. Then it’s 2016, and Gus is saying that this is the year he goes to a Super Bowl. Now it’s 2017, and Rocky is celebrating a Super Bowl. Wildflower is becoming closed off, he’s seen holding himself. We cut to 2018, and Gus is trying to convince himself that this is the year, and he tells his other personality to shut up when it tries to surface. Then we see Wildflower, wearing his glasses and hunched over, looking defeated. It’s 2019 now, and Rocky is saying that even though the Eagles had injuries, they were still better than Washington. Wildflower just looks sad here, as he has become the punching bag of the family. Now, we’re back at the present, and Wildflower is looking in a mirror, monologuing about how the trauma of the past is behind him, and that, “Forgiveness is overrated.”

We then cut to him putting on a new Washington jersey with “Wildfower” written on the back. This was a manufacturing error, but a joke came out of it. “No L’s on this jersey.” Uh, yeah, there is an L. The one you took in the Wildcard round! We then cut to Wildflower opening the closet door to find… Bruce! Bruce finds himself tied up in a closet once again. Wildflower takes the crown and shuts the door, leaving him in the darkness. Now we see Wildflower on the porch, placing the crown on his head and saying, “Let’s clean up this place.” Now we see Frederick, slowly walking around, trying to find Bruce. Wildflower interrupts him, and Frederick asks if he’s seen Bruce. Wildflower responds with a simple, “Yes.” Frederick tries to get more information out of him but to no avail.

Finally, Wildflower reveals that Bruce is tied up in the closet upstairs. Frederick asks how, and Wildflower says that he put him there. Frederick tries to push for more information, but Wildflower dodges it and suddenly asks, “Why the hell are you still in my house?” He explains that they got Bruce back, but then everyone else showed up. Frederick says that they stayed because of Springsteen, since they can’t move him in his comatose state, and he thought it was fine. But Wildflower says that they thought wrong. Then he starts rambling about how his brothers let a lot of things fly since they were in charge. He brings up Frederick’s backstory, how he has been pushed his entire life by Carl and his brothers, and that he is still terrified of Carl. Frederick denies it, unconvincingly. Wildflower admits that he was scared... before he changed. He says that he respects Frederick’s title and crown, but does not respect him. Frederick then goes on to call Wildflower a, “little freak,” and warns Wildflower to shut up or he will put him through a table. After giving a knowing smile, Wildflower says that disputes in older times would be settled by duels. He asks Frederick if he has a dispute with him, and Frederick consents and denies that he needs a weapon.

Frederick says that Wildflower is going to grab his “big stick,” but then Wildflower pulls out what would become his iconic sword, calling it a “sharp stick.” Frederick recoils in shock while dropping an f-bomb. Wildflower says that he is usually against violence, but since Frederick does not drive a hybrid, he’s killing the planet. Frederick hesitates and then bolts up the stairs. Wildflower slowly chases after him, calling out, “Marco!” and hoping that Frederick will yell, “Polo!”

We cut to Frederick, slamming the door to a room, and wondering where Wildflower got a sword from. He then seems to take in his surroundings… he’s in an orange room. He wonders aloud about the room, but Rocky interrupts him by saying, “I painted it for him.” He is curled up in a ball, staring into the distance, voice sounding distant and uncertain. Frederick whips around to see him, and he continues, “He said it was his favorite color.” Frederick is enraged, as he is talking to the man that murdered his father. He asks Rocky where he has been, but he responds, “Do you think he’ll like it?” Frederick asks, “Who?” Rocky turns to look at Frederick, and then lunges after him.

For the second time today, Frederick runs away and closes the door to another room, asking himself, “What the hell is wrong with his family?” He’s horrified as he takes a couple of steps back, but he hears a disturbance… coming from the closet. He opens the door to find Bruce, still tied up in there. Frederick stares for a second, and says that he’s coming in. Now, we hear Wildflower calling out, “Marco!” as he slowly opens the door to the room Bruce and Frederick are hiding in. He must hear or sense something, because he says, “Polo,” as he looks towards the closet. As he raises his sword and slowly opens the closet door, Rocky slides into the doorway, staring at Wildflower. He acknowledges his brother’s presence, and Rocky gives an extremely twitchy smirk, looking absolutely insane. He then rolls his head around his neck, popping a couple of bones in the process. Wildflower sums it up when he says, “Someone looks like they got a case of the crazies.”

Rocky continues to stare as Wildflower slowly closes the door, leaving Rocky in the hallway. If you thought that wasn’t crazy enough, hold on. We cut to Gus, slowly approaching Springsteen’s room. He quietly opens and shuts the door, leaving him alone with the comatose Jets fan. Bloodlust is in Gus’s eyes as he sits down on the bed, saying that he won’t mess this up. Just as he says that... we hear the front door open and shut. Gus looks toward the door, slightly confused. Carl charges into the room at full speed, grabbing Gus and throwing him into the wall. Gus falls to the ground with a crash. Carl pins him down and punches the daylights out of him. Carl screams with rage, and we see that Gus has fallen unconscious from the beating. Carl slowly gets up, winded by the effort. He looks over at Springsteen and says that they need to get out of there.

We cut to a black screen, and we hear Frederick trying to push Wildflower off of him. Wildflower thanks Bruce and Frederick for allowing him in the closet, but Frederick says that he is poking him with his sword. Wildflower says he left his sword outside. As Rocky waits in the hallway, we see a new face in a Dolphins jersey asking Rocky "you the one who killed my dad?" and the episode ends there.
