"Sons of the Fathers" is the ninth episode of Static Shock. It first aired on December 9, 2000.

Plot

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, Sean, shows up and starts making derogatory comments that Virgil tries to ignore. But then Virgil overhears Mr. Foley make a racist comment. He turns to Richie, and they both feel sad. 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 Shiv, but soon Static finds them and makes a rescue. Richie's father changes his racist attitude and tries to listen to his son now.

Quotes

Mr. Foley: What's going on down there?
Richie: Well, you got what you wanted, Dad! My best friend's gone because of you and your stupid racism! I hate you!

Robert: You sure you're OK?
Virgil: Yeah, pops. I'm cool. I'd be even cooler with a new stereo, though.
Robert: Then I wouldn't be cool. Stick with your old stereo.
Virgil: Hey, I had to give it a shot!

Ebon: (to Richie) I heard you two. You're best friends.
Richie: Static's everyone's best friend — except maybe yours.
