The NFC East's Reaction to Week 7

After the massive cliffhanger we were stuck on from the last episode, we open on Carl, tied up in the garage. Rocky has a badass entrance and starts grilling Carl on how it’s like being a loser in the NFL. He brags and brags, but Wildflower ruins the mood when he opens the garage door, and asks Rocky if he needs help. Rocky refuses, and Wildflower leaves to scheme. Rocky continues rambling, and then takes off Carl’s glasses. Carl has bloodlust in his eyes, and Rocky quickly replaces the glasses and leaves, promising to be back. He enters the house and composes himself only to find someone hiding under a blanket and sobbing. Rocky whips the blanket off to find Gus underneath, and then walks off. Next, we see Bruce (finally!) sneak into the house, only to find that Gus has replaced the blanket over himself. Bruce carefully takes off the blanket and jumps back when he sees his brother who tried to kill him. He musters up the courage to apologize to Gus for the season he’s having. Gus asks why Bruce is being nice to him, and Bruce responds, “Because we’re family.” The conversation then dies and Bruce walks off… only to find Carl in the garage. Bruce slowly approaches him, and we see a flashback of when Carl tied Bruce up. Bruce asks Carl why he hates him, and then takes off his glasses. At that moment, the beginning of Carl’s character arc occurs because we see him sobbing. Bruce is taken aback, and then Rocky enters the scene. Bruce drills Rocky about what he is doing to Carl, Rocky continues being cocky, and Bruce stands up to him. A fight seems to be coming on when Wildflower enters, saying that he’ll stop Rocky. The brothers prepare themselves for a fistfight just as Springsteen comes into the fray, asking if anyone has seen a Giants fan. Bruce and Springsteen are reunited, Rocky recognizes Springsteen’s name from jujitsu, and everyone’s names are thrown around. However, oblivious to everyone, a car whips into the driveway, crashing into Springsteen and knocking him out. Bruce is in shock when Frederick gets out of the car, and he realizes what he has done. We then cut back to Gus, still saddened by the loss of Dak for the season. He then calls up, of all people, Scooter Magruder, and we see a shot of him as the episode ends.
