Fred Gets a Letter From His Dad

Fred Gets a Letter From His Dad is the fourteenth and final episode of the third season of the Fred YouTube series. It is the forty-third official episode overall.

Synopsis
Fred's dad sends him a letter in the mail! Fred is ecstatic, but is it all too good to be true?

Plot
The episode begins with Fred going through the mail and tossing the bills until he reaches a special one: a letter from his father. Assuming it is a response to the letter Fred had sent earlier, he is excited to have received it. He hopes to forge a relationship with his dad and his family will come back together.

He reads the letter and gets increasingly happy at his dad's apparent change of heart, along with an expressed love for his son. However, it turns out that the letter was written by Kevin as a prank, which enrages Fred greatly. Wishing to get revenge, he plans to scare Kevin by dressing up as his dad and pretend he just got out of prison to defend his son.

The plan fails, leading Kevin to chase him back to his house. Fred hopes that his dad would actually defend him from Kevin once he gets out of prison.

The episode ends with Fred thinking that his dad is going to write him someday-- it just might not be soon.

Trivia

 * In the original version of the video, it starts with Fred walking into his mom's room, concerned about a cold sore he might have. His mom hopes it's not herpes, which freaks Fred out. She reassures him saying that it was probably a regular cold sore (and that "anyone who has a little fun in their life is gonna have herpes by the age of thirty"). Fred is relieved, later saying that he wants to save his first kiss for Judy.
 * As of now, an edited version on the channel completely cuts this scene out and instead starts the episode with Fred going through the mail.
 * This part was likely cut due to concerns of the content to the channel's younger audience.
 * This is the final appearance of Kevin in the classic web series.
 * This marks the final appearance of the Fee Entertainment copyright tagline at the end of a Fred video.
