Sons of the Fathers

Virgil wonders why Richie never invites him over to his house to hang out. Richie tries to avoid the question, but Virgil presses and Richie invites him over on a night he thinks his father will be out. Things are fine until Richie's father, Mr. Foley, shows up and starts saying derogatory comments that Virgil tries to ignore. But when Virgil overhears Mr. Foley make a racist comment, his naivete is gone. Richie argues with his father, then runs away. Mr. Foley goes to Virgil's dad to see if he knows where Richie is, and they reluctantly work together to search for him. Static finds him and says they are still friends and to go home. However, in the shadows, Ebon lurks, overhearing this and kidnaps Richie to lure Static into a trap. Robert and Mr. Foley find Richie first and try to take out Ebon and his henchman, but soon Static finds them and makes a rescue. Richie's father changes his racist attitude and tries to listen to his son now.
