Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taylor Bennett Jr." data-source="post: 384721" data-attributes="member: 2740">as I recall, Bobby saw Lucy hanging all over Ray at the grand opening of the Braddock Disco (the hottest event of early 1978 in the Metroplex according to Dallas-area  scenesters  of the time) and went over and punched him.  Ray treated it like Bobby had punched him over Pam, probably the helicopter/pond/shack incident from the pilot episode - “figured I had that coming.  She’s yours now all the way.” or something like that.I’m guessing Bobby knew Lucy would act out like that at times and Ray was a bit bad himself, but didn’t want to think he’d go so far as to actually sleep with her.  Pam would have explained it away as “Lucy was upset over her creepy date” and not revealed anything else to protect Lucy from the embarrassment and Ray from getting killed.Who knows if the writers thought it through to that degree, though..</blockquote>
