...and later, after they've had dinner, Ed compliments Theresa on how she handled Ava, adding that up on the farm, he doesn't lecture his kids either, just shows them a better way. He then informs Patrick and Theresa that most trainers wouldn't agree, but he thinks it'd be great for them to keep doing the posturepedic polka, and Patrick's like, right now? Ed, however, suggests he drink his tea first as Theresa giggles like a schoolgirl. I hate to break the mood, as it were, but what kind of residency program is Theresa in that her family ever sees her, much less this often? Everything I've ever heard or even seen depicted on TV suggests it's positively grueling, and yet with the amount of free time she seems to have, she could throw in a law career here.

In Stacy Keach's kitchen, Margaret opens a couple beers as she wonders if maybe Stacy Keach is right and Patrick's rushing into the Reynolds fight. Johnny wonders where this is coming from, but then Stacy Keach enters the room and asks what they're on about. They notice he's packing, and he says he's going to Atlantic City to get out of town for a bit, but Margaret wants to talk about Ed, and Johnny tells him he's trying to dismantle everything he's built with Patrick...

...while Ed and Patrick are in the latter's home office watching that segment of the Reynolds fight we've seen countless times already, and Ed pauses the recording at the point where Reynolds was on the ropes and tells Patrick he should have finished him off, like, I know you're the boxing guru, Ed, but I'm pretty sure EVERYONE ELSE in the world, including Patrick, has already arrived at that conclusion. Instead of saying that, though, Patrick makes excuses for his father, saying his eye was cut and Stacy Keach told him to protect it so they wouldn't stop the fight, but Ed points out it's ridiculous to think they would have done so in the twelfth round, and Patrick nods in resignation. Ed then asks about Patrick's first big loss (to a dude named "Curtis," whom Ed and Theresa referenced earlier), and Patrick tells him Stacy Keach was devastated, and never really believed in Patrick again after that. Ed tells him he needs believers around him, not people with bad energy, and goes on that Theresa and the girls are great, but Stacy Keach, Margaret, Johnny -- they live off him, and he's going to have to cut them out. (In Margaret's defense, there's never been an indication that she still relies on Patrick for money, and Stacy Keach also would be fine if it weren't for Johnny.) Patrick, of course, does not want to hear any of that, so Ed concedes that it's late, and they should just go to bed and discuss it in the next day. He heads off, but when he's gone, Patrick resumes the recording, on which he can hear Stacy Keach telling him to protect his eye. He nods grimly...
