Later, the men are having a summit meeting at Stacy Keach's place, and Stacy Keach tells them he's seen this kind of play before -- whoever shot at Patrick is trying to intimidate him into taking a dive. Patrick asks who said intimidator might be, but Johnny thinks it could be any of the scumbag players around -- Barry, the Russian bookies, even Brennan himself. Patrick declares that this fight represents everything he is, and there's no way he's taking a dive, but Johnny points out that the line speaks otherwise at the moment. Patrick suggests they move the odds back, then, and when Stacy Keach asks how, Johnny quotes some language Charlie used earlier, letting us know that he intends to put something unsubstantiated out there. And what could go wrong with that?

Mae is on the phone with someone, and from her expressing to whoever it is that whatever she's doing is going to take longer than she thought, we can infer that (a) she's running a con here, and (b) she's possibly having second thoughts about it. Theresa interrupts before we can learn anything more, though, and after Mae ends the call, Theresa invites her down to lunch...

...an offer she may be living to regret, as Mae is taking the opportunity to bitch about Margaret's attitude. She then casually grabs some liquor to drop in her iced tea, and you'd think Theresa as a medical doctor and someone who's apparently witnessed the effects of addiction before (Johnny) would raise an eyebrow, but she doesn't say anything until Mae goes on that she knows Theresa must understand how suffocating it is to take care of a boxing family. Theresa, however, seems to have picked a side and is now running with it, as she tells Mae she's not judging her for having left, and it's true she went back to school because she needed more, but in the end, she doesn't want to miss out on her family. Mae, with, perhaps more sharpness than is called for given who she's talking to, says she stayed as long as she could stomach it, "and this is what I get." An afternoon cocktail that needs an octane rating? Oh, she's talking about Margaret again. Yawn.

So apparently, given what I'm seeing on screen, Johnny's big idea was to make a phony 911 call saying that Reynolds suffered a mild heart attack after a workout, and I'd point out that that's a felony but look who I'm dealing with here. The newscaster goes on that the EMS workers on the scene didn't take Reynolds with them, which, she says, fueled speculation about a domestic situation, and how that logically follows I have no idea but CANCELED. The point is, the line is moving back the way it came. Anyway, Patrick then gets a call from Theresa, who blabs about Mae's drinking, not that I blame her. She goes on that she called Mae a car so she could go see Stacy Keach, whom she was talking to earlier, but Patrick, the scales falling from his eyes, calls over to Stacy Keach and learns that he didn't talk to Mae that day. Patrick asks Theresa which car company she used...
