Inside, Meryl is describing Sully to...Danny Boyd. This is not good. Veronica bustles in and tries to get Meryl out of there without drawing attention to them, but Danny recognizes her: "You're Keith Mars's little girl." When Veronica has time, she'll probably ponder the irony that being Keith's daughter got her into mortal peril right at a time when she would happily have disclaimed her relation to him. Danny asks why she thinks "Billy Sullivan" was there, and seeing Danny resting against several cases of beer, Veronica snaps, "You're sitting on it, Potsie." Hee. Between the Horshack and the Potsie, we're building up the hit parade of '70s TV. Which makes me realize that I could definitely see Veronica on The Mod Squad. Anyway, Veronica calls Sully's cell phone, which rings very nearby, so she's proven that Sully was in fact in the bar! Unfortunately, she's also proven that she forgot why she wanted to get out of there so quickly in the first place, so it's nice of Liam to grab her in a bear hug from behind and remind her. Meryl looks scared for the first time as Liam lurches around the bar while seemingly drunkenly but nonetheless menacingly keeping hold of Veronica, and Meryl even grabs a bottle with the intent of breaking it over Liam's head until Danny stops her. Just as well -- I bet that's happened to him a million times before. There's so much scar tissue up top that a hungry mosquito landing on his head would be like, "Is this a joke?" However, someone drunkenly shambles toward them and takes their picture on a camera phone, and as he slurs, "Say cheese!," we see it's Vinnie. Awesome. He tells Liam that Keith is going to love the email, which is enough to cause Liam to release Veronica and back away. So Vinnie is feigning misguided drunken sycophantic horseplay here, just in case it's unclear why Liam didn't kick his ass. Veronica and Meryl hustle out...
...and outside, Vinnie catches up to them and soberly reproaches Veronica for setting foot in the River Stix. Meryl looks chastened, and Veronica asks whether he really sent the picture to Keith. Vinnie: "If I did, it was a miracle. Phone didn't have a camera on it." Hee. Vinnie tells Meryl that Sully came in like he'd just come back from the beach, and that he also was tanked, so Danny took his wallet and said he'd get him home, but instead took him on a shopping spree. Then the Fitzpatricks got bored and kicked him out. That doesn't sound like good Irish hospitality to me, but I guess you have to remember that Liam blew his brother's brains out. Veronica asks where Sully might be, and Vinnie suggests the drunk tank...
