-===== Context =====
+===== Background =====
-This comes after several months of silence from the band. During //[[season13]]// in 2022, Dekkar, then including Tim, [[dekkartour|went on tour]], using [[gregg|Gregg]]'s [[vfatoursvan]]. Following a disastrous first night of the tour, Tim crashed the VFA Expert Tours Van while Axiom and Manuel were asleep, causing serious injuries to everyone involved. Axiom was temporarily blinded, while Manuel was in a coma for weeks and briefly forgot the English language.
+On November 16, 2022, Dekkar announced their [[dekkartour|2022 tour]], featuring Axiom, Manuel, and fellow bandmate [[tim]].[(cite:s13e04>[[s13e04]])] On November 19, the band suffered an accident on the road which injured all three band members and destroyed the [[vfatoursvan]] they were using as transport.[(cite:s13e05>[[s13e05]])]
-Gregg had dash cam footage of the crash, but opted not to share it after he and Tim began to get along in early 2023. During the [[oscar10]], Gregg had announced that the dash cam footage had been deleted. Gregg then launched the [[vfn]], a streaming service for classic public domain movies, during the special. Hidden in the site's files, however, was the dash cam footage of the crash, which then was spread on [[twitter|Twitter]] by fans. It eventually spread into the studio, and Tim opted to play the footage on the set's big screen. The footage reveals that Tim had intentionally swerved the van off the road, in what many viewed as a suicide attempt. After the footage was played, Axiom and Manuel immediately walked out of the studio without saying a word, and Tim had a breakdown.
+During the //[[oscar10]]//, the owner of the VFA Expert Tours van, [[gregg]],  launched the [[vfn]], a streaming service for classic public domain movies. Users of the VFN, however, found that the service also contained some of Turkington's personal files, including a "trash" folder that included dashcam footage recovered from the VFA Expert Tours van. The footage appeared to show Heidecker, while driving the van, intentionally unbuckling his seatbelt and swerving into oncoming traffic, before swerving back the other direction and off the road. After its discovery, this footage was played during the special and was viewed by all attendees, including Axiom & Manuel, who then left the set without a word. There was no activity from the band following this special.
-<wrap todo>Todo: Mention Case Closed and T.'s attempts to contact Axiom and Manuel in s14e03</wrap>
+Heidecker had previously attempted to reach out to the other members of Dekkar and restart the band, asking them on his show //[[season14]]// to watch the //[[xposed|Xposed]]// special //[[caseclosed]]//,[(cite:s14e04>[[s14e04]])] which he felt exonerated him from any potential wrongdoing that may have happened during the crash and the Oscar Special.
 ===== Synopsis =====
+//For a synopsis of the music video, see "[[ridewiththedevil#music_video|Ride with the Devil]]".//
 The video starts with Axiom and Manuel announcing that [[tim]] is no longer a member of Dekkar, a group decision that had not come easily. While they recognized Tim's contributions to Dekkar, they had reached a point where they could no longer work with him. They wish him well.
 To replace Tim, Axiom and Manuel introduce the newest band member for Dekkar, [[corwin]]. Corwin drops down on the couch with them, and Manuel states he will bring a youthful and fresh sound to the band. They are interested in getting a manager or record label, and state that they can be contacted at dekkaremail@gmail.com.
-The [[ridewiththedevil#music_video|music video]] for "Ride With The Devil" is then played.
