The NFC & AFC East's Reaction to Week 9

In the next episode, we open on Bruce and Carl watching over Springsteen in the bedroom. We see Springsteen stir and then wake up, asking what happened. Bruce, shocked, hurries to tell Bruce what happened, thrilled that he is awake. But, Carl says, “You scared us there, Champ,” confusing Bruce. Springsteen says that he must be awake since the Jets won a game, driving Bruce into more confusion because the Jets did not win that previous Sunday. Carl and Springsteen are joking about the game when Bruce cuts in to say, “But the Jets didn’t win.” Springsteen turns to Bruce, in a rage, and says, “Why would you say that, Bruce? Don’t you want me to be awake? Why would you say that?” Then, Bruce wakes with a start, revealing to us that it was all a dream. Springsteen is still in a coma. Carl notices that Bruce is awake and tells him that he doesn’t think Springsteen will wake up. Bruce denies it, but he doesn’t seem convinced. We then see him outside, walking up to Wildflower, who is staring into a tree. Bruce tries to start a normal conversation, but Wildflower replies, “Why must things die?” Bruce is obviously confused by this, and Wildflower goes on about how trees used to be full of life in the summer, but seem to die in the fall. He then starts talking about the crown, and how he desperately wants it. Bruce asks Wildflower how many drugs he is on, and he replies, “All of them.” We then cut to Frederick (with a crown!) and Rocky in the living room, telling tales about their previous games and bragging about their thrones. Frederick asks about Gus and his whereabouts, and we cut to him, talking to himself in the mirror. Then we’re back to Rocky, and Frederick makes a joke. However, they both freeze when Carl walks in, telling Frederick that he’s taking his car. Frederick tries to backtalk, but Carl shuts that down, saying that Frederick wasn’t all high and mighty when he was beating him up in the garage. He then tells Rocky that he’ll have a conversation with him when he gets back, and he walks out. Rocky makes fun of Frederick, but he comments that Rocky has a wet spot. Bruce then barges into the room, and Rocky calls for him to get him a drink. Bruce turns to Rocky and says, “I’ve already snapped two QBs’ legs in this division. Do you want to make it three?” Rocky recoils in shock and Bruce saunters off. Just before the episode ends, we cut to Joe, still excited that the Dolphins are doing so well.
