The NFC & AFC East's Reaction to Week 10

We open up on Joe, making a phone call, and introducing us to someone named Danny, although we don’t hear or see him in this episode. Carl appears, clearly wanting to have a conservation. Joe begins by attempting to make small talk, but Carl interrupts and asks, “Who’s Danny?” Joe hesitates and struggles for words, but Carl cuts him off again and says, “Yeah. I figured that’s where you’ve been all these years.” That single statement opens up several questions, some of which are still not answered to this day. But, that’s a discussion for another time. Joe reminds Carl that he is his father, but Carl shoots back, “Since when?” He then goes off about how Joe abandoned the brothers, saying how he had to step up to take care of them. He goes on to say, “A card in 2008 and 2016 doesn’t make you a father,” clearly referencing the trips that the Dolphins made to the Wildcard round in those years. Carl goes on to reference a few more moments in Patriots history, like in 2001 when Brady first started, or when they almost achieved what the Dolphins did- a perfect season. They then go back and forth, with Carl saying that Joe leaving was “vile,” and Joe saying they are hypocritical since they left him alone. After some more arguing, Joe finally asks what Carl wants, and he breaks the news about Springsteen being in a coma. But, he then says that Joe is the one who is going to help get Springsteen out of it, and we are left at that. We cut to Gus walking into the basement and meeting Wildflower. Gus asks why Wildflower is down there, and Wildflower explains how he knocked out his neighbor and stole his lawnmower. (Keep the lawnmower in mind, it comes back later). Gus brushes this news off and tries to make small talk about the week’s results and how they are nowhere near that crown. Wildflower then says that he would do anything to get that crown, even if it involves killing Rocky. The two then start going back and forth about B.J. and the Bear and Joe Theismann for a while. However, Wildflower does say something interesting here: “I like bears.” Keep that in mind. The conservation then ends when Wildflower asks, “How about we get shirts that say ‘basement buddies’?” We then cut to Rocky, being stared down by Bruce, clearly wanting that crown. Rocky looks terrified and acts as such, but Bruce remains calm, saying that Rocky is only the king… for now. And finally, we see Frederick, sneaking into Springsteen’s room. He looks at Springsteen and nods to himself. We then see Bruce come in, rambling about what he is going to do for the day. He then notices that Frederick has replaced Springsteen, yelling about how he wants to be in a coma, distraught over the Hail Murray. We then see Springsteen, knocked out of the bed, and the episode ends.
