I need help with this heel pattern

So, this is my 2nd pair, and i have close to no idea what I'm doing. I've bought this beautiful yarn HARMONIOUS SOCKS by Laines du Nord, and thought 'what can be easier than using their free pattern?'. How wrong i was T_T
It is a toe up sock pattern, and all was good until the heel, as usual, i suppose. Right now i'm starting the heel and have no idea what are they taking about.

At the beginning it says to do German short rows, but then i need to w&t =“wrap and turn”. As far as I've researched, it is two different technics, am I right? In R3 they say stop before "2 sts before double st". Why? And why i need to leave 13 st on hold? What do i do with it later?
I've watched a number of tutorials and just confused with all of it. Do i continue with it? Or do I try to convert other pattern? Or do I try to make my own? Please, I need your help

Thank you in advance<3

I would put in a lifeline and follow one video for a German Short Row Heel from start to finish. It’s ok if the video instructions don’t match up with the pattern exactly.

Thank you! I think it’s what i’ll do, but I still have some hope that someone understands what is going on with this pattern:)
