Frank took up boxing just to get attention from p as coach, but is bluntly dumped as untalented when jealous Timmy proves a talent and finds it a pleasant substitute for his properly-theatrical ambitions. yet Timmy stubbornly persists as never-fielded understudy for the lead in Don Quichote, suffering endless abuse from the mean protagonist, until a punch surprisingly gets him a stage performance, with proud parental blessing despite it means forfeiting a crucial match in the parish gym. Eddie is flattered that college boy Larry consults him on his one success, dating, yet doubts his methods, and Wendi isn't amused either by their 'practice dating'.
