The installment's name is pretty interesting and the thumbnail shows Father with MAD level charged to 200%, which is a lot. The last time we have seen the MAD level is way back at "Father vs The IRS" where it was only at 100%. So let's take a look.

The episode starts with Son picking up a keyboard and putting it on the table. As he finished his action, he happily said to himself that everything was done but he was cut off by Father. As the crusader walks in, he asks his heretic Son if he was done with the task he had given him. Son tells his dad that he is indeed done, but Father wasn't pleased and pointed out a flaw. He raised the bean bag chair and revealed the unnoticed rubbish. Father picked it up and started complaining about it, before crushing the trash in his fist, making even more mess on the floor. Son pointed it out to which Father said that it is Son's duty to clean it. The heretic was going to apologize, but took his words back and started complaining about Father's attitude, how the crusader even at the slightest annoyance and discomfort gets irritated. To Son's surprise, Father looks down and agrees with Son. As the crusader looks back at his son, he wants to explain why he acts like this.

The screen dramatically goes black and a very dramatic sound plays. Then, a very dramatic song starts playing. Farther starts off with Son's existence. To that, Son thanks Father for being nice and also tells him a very polite combination of two words. Father gets annoyed and demands Son to let him get to the point. The explanation continues and says that after Son was born, or more specifically, spawned by the heavens, Cousin Richard came soon after. This means that Cousin Richard is the youngest member of the Bread Boys family and holy shit, Cousin Richard is mentioned and also plays a role in the episode. Anyway, the crusader said how he and Son deviated from the path of faith. Cousin Richard started doing unholy things that Father couldn't explain because of the risk of the video getting demonetized. So, Father decided to talk to Cousin Richard and as any responsible parental figure would do, he shot him. I have a couple of questions about this specific line right here, but I will voice them in my conclusion part.

Well, despite Father's action, Cousin Richard remained a heretic and because of that, Father continues to discipline Son like this. After hearing the story, Son was left angry at Father for just jumping straight into violence and that he didn't even try to talk with Son. Father accuses Son of being just like Cousin Richard, and Son struggles to find the right word to respond, so he finds a middle ground and says that maybe he is, but a bit better. Hearing Son's attempt to make him look better, Father challenges Son to actually stand his point and prove to Father that he isn't as degenerate as Cousin Richard. Son accepts it with the only condition that Father doesn't shoot him. Father accepts it a walks away.

Two hours later, Son is admiring his wallpaper and praises his tastes, which is already kinda sus, not gonna lie. Then, he hears Discord ping and finds out that Cousin Richard sent him a meme. I find it really strange and suspicious that Son's discord name is "Father" and I also find the names of the channels a little bit sussy. Son opens the meme and seeing Squidward he assumes that the meme is going to be funny and as the dumbass he is, he ignores the literal title that says "Moan Earape", Son you retarded piece of shit and he also doesn't wear the headphones for reasons I guess, fucking dumbass. So, he gets the moan jumpscare and instantly pauses the video. He tries to remove the trace of the accident by closing a tab, but the damage has already been done. Son is in panic and in an attempt to save himself, he rushes to his gun. Soon after, Father walks in and wonders why Son had a Deagle. Son trying to not give Father any suspicions drops the gun back on the bed. Father starts interrogating his heretic Son and understanding the situation, Father is in utter disappointment. Father picks up his shotgun and tells Son that he tried, but he has to punish him now. Father points his shotgun at the protagonist, who doesn't even try to scream. Father pulls the trigger and the episode ends.

What can I say? Another great masterpiece. I am so happy that Cousin Richard once again played a role. He was not only mentioned, but he also took part in it. As for my confusion about Father's line back in the basement, I have some things to say. So, Father said that as any responsible parental figure would do, he shot Cousin Richard. So, it made me wonder, where the hell was Uncle then? By just using logic, if you have a cousin, then it is your uncle's or aunt's child, so Uncle should be the one who is supposed to talk, right? Well, Uncle wasn't mentioned in the story, maybe he was irrelevant to this, but I doubt it. So, it gave me an interesting idea and a plot twist. What if Cousin Richard is actually Father's son? I know it's crazy but just think about it. Soon after Son, Cousin Richard came to life, with no mentions of Uncle. Father was the one who tried to talk to Cousin Richard, like a parental figure. Of course, you don't have to be an actual parent to be a parental figure, but still. Father was the one to talk to him and the one who punished Cousin Richard, by shooting him. Yeah, I know that it probably makes no sense, but man, it really made me wonder. If that is actually true, then it means that Cousin Richard and Son are brothers. But yeah, the thoughts are dumb, but still. Also, I don't really know if this video lines up with the timeline of Bread Boys. Father said that Cousin Richard and Son instantly fell into heresy, but remembering the "Father, cousin Richard survived", in the flashbacks, Son and Cousin Richard didn't seem to be this way.

The lore expands. We now know more about Son's and Cousin Richard's Origin and how Father had to stop Richard from doing more evil. Richard's deeds and his degeneracy have come to light today. This is true development

I want to personally thank you Bread Boys.

Last week was my final exam for my Crusades class for college, and my final essay was about how Crusader imagery was used in the modern day.

You guys were one of my prime examples. That’s right, you’re now legitimately being used by history majors in their papers on the lasting effects of the Crusades.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me get a C in this class.

The scary thing about Cousin Richard is just when you forget about his existence, he is either brought up or appears in a video.
Just to remind us all he’s still around somewhere.

I love how father just sensed the cheese ball under the beanie bag

[SRHv]

Just a father venting to son so they can work out their differences. So wholesome 😊

[oceangilboa-way]

Last time i came this early. Father asked me to leave

I think the perfectly cut scream was one of the best. They should make an episode where they parody their perfectly cut screams.
Example: "son don't you just love the sound of perfectly cut screams?"
"What? Wait sto- *boosh *
And it goes for the whole episode.

Father's bad parenting is the cause of Son's bad behavior, but cousin Richard is Uncle's failure. Don't beat yourself up over it too much, Father

[ghoulboi-iqez]

This is probably the nicest we will see father

“I did what any responsible parental figure should, I shot him.
- Father, 2023

“Nice weather, right?”
- Son, 2023

[SANT]

Well, father tried. You brought it in yourself son

[Skullzer_OP]

Keep up with the good work! You never dissapoint us...

[michaelzapata]

To be honest I am now very interested and very curious for the lore of these two

[omejira]

Sometimes I wish Son would act like a gigachad and be honest on what just happened instead of hiding it. After all, he was the victim of Richard’s malice.

Nice! I love Bread Boys lore! Any time they make a video that's entirely lore-focused like that, you know it's unskippable!

[squibydoesalittletrolling]

"Son, what's my revengeance status?"

[unnamedwolfwalker]

Wait, cat ears? I wonder what the relationship between Cousin Richard and Uncle is.

[georgiegamer]

We haven't seen Cousin Richard in a while, I hope he makes a return too. Maybe have a moment where we actually address that he is Uncle's son (Unless he and Father have another sibling that we don't know of yet.) and see what happens.
