...and soon after, in the room, Patrick is watching Mikey Fumbles tell Stacy Keach about Reynolds's vow to take Patrick down in one round, and Stacy Keach replies that no one does that to Patrick, not even with a bat. That dentist from the pilot should certainly know. Patrick then hears a knock at the door and tells "Johnny" he's coming, and then there's a more insistent knock, which anyone who's ever watched TV knows means it's not who Patrick thinks it is, and sure enough when he opens the door it's that guy who's Brennan's muscle and whose overacting gets more and more irritating every time I see him. Lucky thing about that! The guy tells Patrick that Brennan would like to take him and Johnny out to dinner, and adds, "Why don't you put on something nice. I'll wait." The scenery begs for mercy, and is rewarded with a cut...

...to the interior of some restaurant that's empty except for Brennan and his party. Brennan comes over and welcomes Patrick and then leads him farther in, and Patrick is surprised to see several other boxers in attendance (including four world champions, according to Johnny; I'm assuming they're from various weight classes, obvs). Patrick starts glad-handing everyone...

...while elsewhere, Theresa steps out of the hotel bar she's in (I'm assuming they're keeping her away from Patrick to avoid any distractions) to wrap up a phone conversation with Katie. Right as she finishes, Jennifer, Reynolds's wife, catches sight of her and approaches; after a little kiss-kiss, Jennifer takes a seat without an invitation and mentions the "training-camp celibacy" that's been forced upon her. Having seen her husband's body, I agree she has cause for complaint. Also, I would never have known if I hadn't caught her name in the opening credits, but Jennifer is played by Reiko Aylesworth, whom you might remember fondly from her days as Michelle on 24. You'll forgive me for not recognizing her sooner, given how much bronzer she's been wearing. My skin is hyperventilating just looking at her.

Back at the boxer dinner, someone's complaining that he took home less than a hundred grand from a two-million dollar purse on his last fight (mentioning Barry's son, and good job having brought him up several times and never producing him, show). He told Barry they were done, and after that, he couldn't get a fight, even in Europe. Another guy says that if they take Patrick and band together as "United Boxers, like Mr. Brennan talks about," no one will be able to stop them. Patrick doesn't even look surprised that he's the last to know about this as Brennan gets to his feet and speechifies about the fall of empires and whatever, and says that if Patrick joins with them, they could knock Barry out of the game for good. Yes, Patrick certainly has been one step ahead of Barry at every turn this season. Patrick says he wants ten percent, and after there's an extremely well-acted chorus of "Say what"s from the peanut gallery, he clarifies that ten percent off the top of every fight UB promotes will go to a boxers' health fund, to take care of their own. After a moment to consider, the sheep start clapping, and Brennan, whether he likes it or not, is forced to join in. Yay?
