Marlon King went from hero to zero after rescuing a point for Watford before being sent-off against Wolves at Molineux. 
The Championship's leading goal scorer rammed home his 21st goal of the season to earn Watford a deserved share of the spoils in the 65th minute before seeing Red 20 minutes later after blasting linesman, Mr. E.Tarry for not awarding a penalty when he felt he had been fouled by Joleon Lescott.
But, as far as Wolves were concerned, King had already done more than enough damage as his equaliser finally ended their slim hopes of clinching a spot in the end of season play-offs.
Wolves needing to win their final four games of the season to have any chance of joining Watford in the play-offs looked on course to see off the Golden Boys when on-loan Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere gave them a 17th-minute lead with his first goal at Molineux.
But some poor finishing, particularly by Tomasz Frankowski, cost them dearly as Watford earned a share of the spoils with a spirited second half comeback and King, who turned down a move to Wolves from Nottingham Forest last summer in favour of joining Watford, saved Adrian Boothroyd's side from a third defeat in four games with his well taken strike.
Prior to the 5.15pm kick-off, the Watford boss had made his first selectoral change in five matches, recalling Clarke Carlisle for Jordan Stewart and switching Lloyd Doyley to left back with Jay DeMerit playing on the right. One other surprise saw the inclusion on the bench of Dominic Blizzard, returning after a lengthy layoff with a viral complaint.
However, on a sun drenched Good Friday afternoon a lack lustre Watford were extremely fortunate to make it to half-time trailing just by the one goal, as they failed to create a real chance apart from the opening they were gifted by the sliced clearance of goalkeeper, Stefan Postma in the 8th minute. Postma's clearance flew straight to Darius Henderson but the Dutchman managed to scurry back to make the save.
Wolves were dominant in terms of attacking and made a deserved breakthrough when Aliadiere converted a superb cross-field pass from Frankowski.
The strike should have sparked an avalanche of Wolves goals but Colin Cameron shot wide, as did Lee Naylor who also had a free-kick well saved by Ben Foster in the 25th minute.
Foster saved Watford again six minutes before half time. Frankowski was released by Rohan Ricketts and only had Foster to beat, but the on-loan Manchester United 'keeper spread himself to deny the Poland international, who is still looking for his first goal for the club after his arrival from the Spanish side Elche in January.
Frankowski's prolificacy was to prove costly and was fully exploited by Watford who raised their game a level in the second period.
King had a sighter in the 58th minute when he fired over the bar but he could not miss seven minutes later when he was unmarked on the far post to rifle home a cross from Matthew Spring.
The closing stages saw Watford continuing to press for a winner and the boos that greeted the final whistle merely illustrated the problems now confronting former England manager, Glen Hoddle and his underachieving Wolves side.
For Watford, a deserved point after a stirring second half display that auger well for the play-offs. The one obvious disappointment was the sending off of their talisman striker who is now almost certain to miss the remainder of the regular season.
Golden Boys man of the match: Marlon King (despite his sending off, the man who inspired a terrific second half recovery)
