Patch Boomhauer is the one hundred and fiftieth episode in the FOX comedy King of the Hill.

[edit] Plot

Patch Boomhauer comes into town, annoying everyone in the neighborhood. Boomhauer is glad to see his brother until he realizes that the reason Patch is in town is to get married to Boomhauer's ex-girlfriend, Katherine.

Patch is busy making arrangements for the wedding and Boomhauer is sulking, as he still loves Katherine. Hank agrees to be the best man and starts to make plans for the bachelor party. Peggy is in charge of setting up a bachelorette party for the bride.

Hank prepares a crazy--by Hank's standards--bachelor party involving beer, music, and playing cards, while pranking the groom with a ball & chain. Hank even got clearance from the fire department to go above the designated noise level for one night of fun. Peggy gathers the ladies for a night of hot body video watching.

Patch secretly orders some 'special' entertainment in the form of a stripper. Hank thinks that a karaoke party is going to be a surprise, and can't wait. Just when the guys are getting into their pranks, a knock is heard at the door. Patch answers and ushers in two strippers. Hank is livid, as are the wives, who arrive at the same time as the stripper. Patch lets everyone think that Boomhauer ordered the strippers to make him Patch look bad, in an effort to get Katherine back. Hank turns his back on their friendship, letting Boomhauer know that he expects this sort of behavior from Bill but not from him.

Hank gives Boomhauer the cold shoulder for a few days but eventually realizes that he never actually asked Boomhauer if he was responsible. Hank confides in Dale, and they agree that he should go ask Boomhauer straight if he did it. Boomhauer says 'no'. Hank accepts his answer, and they make up.

Hank hosts the rehearsal dinner, where it is revealed that Katherine can't marry Patch knowing that Boomhauer still loves her so much that he is willing to call in strippers to ruin her relationship with his brother. Patch tries to usurp this show of "romance" by confessing that it was, in fact, he. That changes Katherine's mind for good and she walks out on him. The wedding is off, and all is good in the neighborhood once more.
