...and then, the next day, he's on the phone with Johnny, saying he can only spare a few hours. He then asks about Stacy Keach and gets, from his reaction, some surprising news, at which point Ed comes in, prompting Patrick to get off the phone with a "Bye, Dad." Ed asks after Stacy Keach, and Patrick relays the news he just got from Johnny that he's decided to take the first vacation of his life and go on a fishing trip down South. Ed gives Stacy Keach and Margaret credit for not interfering, but Patrick doesn't have time to address the thinly-veiled dig at Johnny, instead saying he's got to go to Stacy Keach's house and pack up some of his stuff and send it to him. He asks Ed if he'd drop him off there and then go pick up the girls from day camp (Katie) and soccer (Daniella), which I guess means that Patrick's sensitivity to Ed getting close to his family is trumped by his inclination toward being a LYING LIAR WHO LIES. Ed jokes that he's turning into a regular soccer mom, ha ha. Because of the soccer?

We learn that the part about Stacy Keach, at least, is all true, as Patrick's over at his place on the phone with him. Stacy Keach, by a lake, tells Patrick about some videos of Reynolds's old fights he has upstairs before asking how the training's going. Patrick confesses that he misses Stacy Keach yelling at him, but Stacy Keach tells him he should listen to Ed, and that he made a good choice. He then tells him that when the fight's over, "after you win," they should sit down and have a talk, and Patrick agrees...

...and then Patrick's taping his segment in the ring at the gym, as he says he learned to box there -- his father was a trainer when he was a kid. He expresses pride in having his name on the place, and then Charlie the segment producer cuts the scene and asks Barry where the hell his guy is. We pan over to Barry, who's holding his phone as he intones, "I hate boxers." Heh. He's the only character on this show I can count on for a laugh.
