With four games remaining in the season, Wrexham needs to put up at least two wins and a draw to cement themselves as top of their league and avoid the dreaded playoffs. Sure enough, they draw their next match and Wrexham finds themselves needing to win two of the final three games. A much harder proposition with almost no room for error. ‘Worst Case Scenario’ is an apt episode title here. Wrexham is cutting it close.

Yeovil is their next opponent and, like Halifax, the match should be a decisive victory for Wrexham. That being said, Wrexham places a particular importance on matches like these since the team has been known to ‘pull a Wrexham’ and experience an upset. Rob McElhenney isn’t without support for this match however with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia cast members Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, and of course Rob’s wife and co-star Kaitlin Olson in attendance. Rob wants an entertaining game for them to enjoy, but would prefer a stressless victory. But it can’t be that easy…

Tied after sixty minutes of play, it takes a poorly timed bathroom trip from Glenn to ignite something in Wrexham to score their first goal. The goal was scored by none other than Anthony Forde in his first match back from leave. With the struggles his family has been facing, Forde has shown resilience and being able to make an impactful difference in a Wrexham match so soon after his return is cathartic for the midfielder. With another two goals scored from Wrexham, the Yeovil match becomes a needed victory as Wrexham now only has to win one match out of their next two to finish top of their league. The Sunny cast is swept up in the emotion of the win and fans of the show will find warmth and humor in Charlie’s response to the match.

‘Family Business’, the episode prior to ‘Worst Case Scenario’, delves into the personal and family life of Ollie Palmer, placing it in relation to Rob McElhenney, Ryan Reynolds, and Elliot Lee’s upbringings. The episode illustrates the formative influence that parents play in a child’s upbringing and while it builds to Palmer’s expression that time is the most precious resource one has in their life, the episode has little in terms of relation to Wrexham’s season or the broader Wrexham community. Like Forde’s story, Palmer’s story deserves to be told as many viewers will relate to it, but coming to the close of Season 2 it feels misplaced. One admirable takeaway, however, is that these Wrexham footballers are as equally dedicated to being fathers and role models for their children as they are to the game of football.
