You know what, I actually had this little plot bunny about Z confronting Beef after the prank about how the wolf was in bad taste (and another idea about some comfort from Zisteau after the prank that went nowhere because Kurt's reaction vid didn't seem that hurt), but that's an even better idea. Maybe Beef worried that it would be in bad taste but Pause reminded him about the sheep and that sometimes, hurtful things bring people together?
