Section heading
Derek's trip to Gary Young's house was cancelled because Kevin Franklin came to him as a man named Pete and told Derek to stay away from Gary. He also said not to call him. Derek is told to wear Franklin's hat so that he would get assaulted instead of Franklin. Later, Derek got suspicious and decided to go to Pittsburgh anyways. He read his name in a paper that Franklin caused.

FYI

It is unknown how Derek Bond escaped the airport after Joey and Pauly knocked him out. He probably just stayed at another dental office until he made his own. Then, he read the news and got mistaken for Kevin Franklin once again. Then, he went to Gary's house because nothing seemed to be the same. Pauly Gasperini was wounded and he held a gun making sure he would finally get Franklin's money. Derek mentions that he is the true Derek Bond but nobody believes him until Franklin stands up saying that he is just Kevin Franklin. Gary gets sad/mad at Franklin but he stands up to Derek saying that he would not let a friend get attacked.

Gary Young
Gary Young is a man that is looking for Derek for 25 years. They had been best friends ever since they were 10 years old. Derek gets stranded at an airport. He hides with some Hungarian friends until he goes to look or Gary. He doesn't find him in 2 weeks. When Derek happens to find Gary, he feels betrayed by his own friend because Gary doesn't believe that Derek Bond was him. When he tells Derek that he has to go save Kevin Franklin, Derek says: "Kevin Franklin is your oldest friend? That man bamboozled you!"

Kevin Franklin
Although Franklin and Bond had a lot of friends in common, they are not necessarily friends. Bond was violently angry at Franklin for posing as him. When Pauly Gasperini came to arrest Franklin, he explains that he only did this because Joey and Pauly were attacking him. As Gary mistook Kevin Franklin for Derek Bond, the Gasperini brothers mistook Derek for Franklin. Derek hates Franklin because he says: "Kevin Franklin is your best friend??" to Gary
