I'm pretty sure all they really did was befriend him. It's... oddly effective.
[ It's hard to explain the effect they have. A ragtag team of idiots who could best Freelancers by virtue of being so weird that no one could ever predict them. They saved her life, gave her a new family to watch out for when she had spent years expecting to never have that again. ]
He took over leading the Blues and it worked for him. Caboose and Tucker managed to wear off a lot of his rough edges. Then I came back and made everything worse.
[ He can't really understand without meeting them, but he's trying. He wants to help Wash. And know these people who saved Carolina. ]
Hey. It worked out, didn't it? You're friends again, I just... hope it won't take that much here. We can't just expect that they show up and do it all over again.
Hopefully it doesn't take him threatening to shoot me again.
[ She doesn't even think about how that might sound. It happened, he had been in the right about the whole thing and it had worked out. And he'd even come to save her ass even though she didn't deserve it. ]
[ York's expression softens, and he finds he's grateful -- so grateful -- to these people he's never met for giving her another chance. Coming to save her. Because it means she's with him now, after they helped her to heal. ]

[ This Wash does seem hostile, but. ]
Do I want to know why he was threatening to shoot you?

[ She looks ashamed of it now. They saved her and she nearly destroyed all of them. ]
Wash chose the right side. I went off on my own and nearly got myself killed. They came after me even after that.

I really hope I get to meet them someday.
