Maybe he's a friend that replaced Wilt to his creator?

That makes sense.

It could be... it's the best guess to me.

I think someone may have already gone over it, but Wilt says, "I did something terrible and its time to set things straight." (I'm paraphrasing not sure he said it exactly like that.)

What terrible thing could Wilt have done? This makes me go with PBL's ganster theory even more....I wonder if Wilt was even a gang leader and got into some real troublesome situations.
I am SO wanting to see this episode to levels of craziness! lol

I saw it too
so sad, yet somehow funny

I was cracking up during play practice today. Y'see, we were blocking the dance for "Status Quo" (we're doing High School Musical), and the girl who plays Martha Cox (the hiphop girl?) was showing us her dance moves.

One was called "the lawnmower".

I laughed hysterically, because I saw Wilt driving a lawn mower in the back of my mind.

I NEVER want to see Wilt as a gangster, I see enough of that at school.
OT, but how do you double quote.

I see plenty of it at school, too, which is exactly WHY I got such a strong "East Side vs. West Side" feel from that face-off clip from Good Wilt Hunting. Many of my students whe ARE gang members have even speculated that Wilt could have been an "O-G", or "Old Gangsta", a term for a gang leader, in the past. While is is not pleasant to think of at all, it would indeed account for Wilt's eagerness to be helpful, and his deep-seated fear of upsetting others and being cast out yet-again, as trying to attone for some horrific thing(s) he's done in his past. As difficult as it is to think of, an abandoned Imaginary Friend, desparate to belong to someone, would be perfect gang recruit fodder, especially one with Wilt's athletic abilities and strength, and his height. Wilt does have a natural leadership ability and has shown that he is perfectly capable of taking charge of a situation(as he does in "Blooooooo"), and he's very charismatic, so it would almost be a natural progression for him to eventually rise to a position of importance and status. While Wilt seems so nice and sweet now, as CG has speculated in her fanart piece, this might not have always been the case. He could very well have been a real male offspring of a female dog at one point, if you know what I mean, and if pushed into a situation where he had to join a gang to survive on the streets, like many humans, he'd probably take that route.

It'd make sense Wilt be a leader when you have a group made up of a fraidy cat, a person who dosen't care & is a jerk, a person who's sort of nuts (We could kill him ) & a kid. Plus sometimes a blabby girl & a retard.

In my opinion, if Wilt was in any way in a gang in any way, I think I'd DIE. X.x;;

Well don't worry, Antgirl, keep in mind we could be totally wrong about the gangster thing. It is a THEORY, after all. lol
