Plot Overview
After Jason is beat up by neighborhood bully Shannon, Brendon vows revenge. Unfortunately, Brendon forgets that he can't fight, much less fight Shannon. While McGuirk offers him lessons in fighting and unusual fighting techniques, Paula begs him to beat Shannon...with words. Brendon goes on to lose the fight badly, but becomes only more enraged when Shannon takes the moral high ground.
