In "Hurtful!", Flower attempts to kill Firey Speaker Box with a bowling ball for bothering her, but he ends up dodging it, and the ball kills Flower Speaker Box instead, leaving with only Firey Speaker Box hosting. After the Announcer Recovery Center is built and the Announcer returns, he accuses Firey Speaker Box of being an impostor, but the latter claims he was just a substitute for while the former was gone.
