It gives us just a little inkling of that "old Wilt" that Jordan knew as a kid, self-confident and determined and in-charge, rather than obsessed over how his actions might upset someone or cause trouble for someone. That response to Bloo's pitiful begging act was just so absolutely perfect in its coldness-"Ya know...I thought about that and...the thing is....I REALLY DON'T CARE!"

I feel that Wilt's practical jokes in "Nightmare on Wilson Way" sort of show us that, even though he isn't like, completely back to the way he used to be back when he lived with Jordan, he's getting there. I think he really needed a boost of confidence from Jordan to, you know, let loose a little. I mean, I know that the producers aren't allowed to have any particular order in the shows, but, you know, it's possible. In "Nightmare on Wilson Way" when there's a flashback to the year before, Wilt's dressed as a werewolf, and he doesn't seem to be planning on pulling a prank or anythin, then, a year later, he's freaking kids out by making them believe that they just yanked his arm off.
