Friday Night Lights Season 4 Episode 12 – Laboring Recap
Tim goes for a walk with Becky out on his newly purchased land. He says he’s finally happy and everything seems to have worked out for him. Then Becky tells him she loves him and he pretty much runs away cause really he can’t do that.
There is a brilliant scene featuring Jesse and Juvie where he’s heading out to go get revenge. I’ll let the scene speak for itself.

For those of you who can’t view the video or if there’s a problem I’m sorry, let me know in the comments. There really is no way to do justice to that scene in words. As you can see I left in a bit of the following scene where Riggins is working on the cars at the shop and playing a little air guitar.
While he does this he gets some surprise visitors.
The cops are here to investigate some missing cars. Looks like Tim’s happiness was short lived.
We cut to Juvie in the car on his way to the hit. But he can’t do it. He gets out of the car at a light. The other guy goes after him, fires a shot, and then tells him he either does this or he dies at gunpoint.
The dude has balls and tells him to either shoot him or go. Juvie I now dub thee Vince. Anyway Vince does not suffer the fate of Michael B. Jordan’s character from The Wire and the other guy gets back in the car with the warning that this isn’t over. I was going to include a clip of this in here too since this scene is also just incredible and words can do it no justice, but I chose to include the next scene and highlight how Coach is really at the end of his rope.

Just look at that disgusting smile on Joe McCoy’s face towards the end. Anyway I hope that scene really said it all.
We move on to Juvie Vince coming home and Jess is still sitting outside his door.
They share a moment and we’re into a montage sequence set to a sadly beautiful song, which by the way is just one of many awesome soundtrack choices this episode. I need to find someplace that lists all the songs in these episodes because this one has a ton of great music.
We see Billy placed in a holding cell along with Tim who has the most heartbreaking look on his face. Then we’re back to the Taylor residence where Coach returns from the meeting. Tami tells him she’s going to read a statement and he asks her which statement. Then the phone rings. Coach loses his shit and smashes it. Then he sits next to his wife.
Fade out. So this episode was great. The best of the season hands down. Now there’s only one more episode left in the season, “Thanksgiving”. It’s time for the Panthers/Lions showdown and time for a lot of things to come to a head. Look for that recap coming very soon.
Also it’s been announced that next season, which is filming now presumably for a fall premiere on DirecTV will be the final season of Friday Night Lights. So get ready for that. Also if you don’t have DirecTV and you’re dying to see these wonderful episodes they premiere on NBC in April.
So I’ll leave you with the one final request that you help us out and check out this link:
