Let's go! I want this group moved in tighter.
Let's go, now!
Move him up front with this group. I want him back.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
- Come on, move! -(groans)
We received a 911 call that there was a slasher party
happening at this address tonight.
- What? - Yo, man. Face down.
According to this caller, there's a person of interest
threatening people with a knife, putting multiple lives at risk.
I am the one who actually threw the party, Officer,
but it's not a slasher party, I swear.
You guys don't see what's happening?
We're being swatted.
What? You're saying someone pranked the cops into coming here?
Why? It's just a Halloween party.
- Nothing's been confirmed. - Sergeant.
Until now.
What are you doing?
That-- That cop just signaled that the back was all clear,
so we should be good to go, right?
We're done when I say we're done.
Last I checked, no-knock warrants were illegal in California.
You didn't properly announce yourself before entering.
I'm pretty sure one of my friends got that on camera if you need proof.
You might want to call your boss.
'Cause I'm calling mine.
(sighs in exasperation)
Man, my bad, you guys.
Why?
Us getting swatted had nothing to do with you, brah.
(sighs)
My God. You guys are okay. You good?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
(Laura) Hi, honey.
Uh, where's Jordan?
Layla needed fresh air. He went with her.
You okay, baby?
Yeah. I'm just pissed more than anything.
How did this happen?
I don't know.
But if it wasn't for Coop, we would still be face down on the floor.
I guess working for Mrs. Baker's paying off.
She pushed hard to end those no-knock warrants.
- I can never forget that. - Okay.
The cops are tracing the call, so we should hear something soon.
Yeah, well, when we do,
I'm pretty sure Wade Waters' name will come up.
Why Wade? What's going on with this kid?
All night, someone has been calling me from this unknown number.
And then right after SWAT arrived, I got a text with a devil emoji.
That's Wade.
- Honey, are you sure? - Yes!
He's trying to shake me up because I dug into his past for my NIL article.
- I thought you scrapped that article? - He doesn't know that.
And I found out some crazy stuff about him in high school,
like, some messed up bullying.
All right, look, it's late,
and we all just had guns pointed at our heads
for what felt like a lifetime.
Mrs. Baker said they're tracing the call, so let's just...
take a beat, and wait on whatever evidence.
What?
- No-- - This isn't a story anymore.
This is a criminal investigation now.
In the meantime, I don't think it's a good idea for you girls to stay here alone.
Yeah.
Y'all can stay with us at the beach house for a few days.
I'm gonna stay with my parents.
Seriously, you didn't have to walk me in.
I kind of feel like I did.
Especially after tonight.
- So, Layla, I was-- - So, I--
My bad. You first. Go ahead.
It's all you.
Look, what I said to you at the party tonight,
I meant every word.
- Jordan-- - Please, just...
hear me out.
Tonight reminded me that life is too short.
Okay? And I don't want to waste a second of it.
I want to be present.
I want us to be present, laughing, connecting,
pushing each other to find the best part of ourselves.
But we are doing that as friends.
Okay, but I want more.
Jordan, um,
I tried the more than friends thing with Clay,
and I ended up hurting him.
Yeah, but this is different.
I dated Asher and Spencer.
No, I can't be the girl that dates everyone in the vortex.
Okay, I hear you, and that is totally valid.
Okay, but forget about the vortex for a second.
Tell me how you really feel about me, about us.
I feel...
um...
lucky because...
I found a best friend where I least expected to, and...
I don't want to screw that up.
Right.
Best-- Best friend.
(music playing over speakers)
Oh, look at Spence out here siloed in his peaceful cocoon.
Man, I'm just doing anything I can to bounce back from last night.
Get my head in the right place before tomorrow's big homecoming game.
Look, I don't know much about meditation,
but I'm pretty sure this song right here ain't it.
That's GAU's fight song.
Easily the worst construction of instruments, lyrics and...
- talent. - Please.
Music died for a few years when they made Coastal's fight song.
Maybe it's time to put your money where your cleats are.
I'm down. What you thinking?
Hmm.
Whoever wins homecoming,
the loser has to not only wear the winner's jersey,
but you've got to walk around campus a whole day
singing their fight song...
loud as hell.
- Say less. I'm down. - Okay.
(laughing)
Yo, you good?
- Yeah. Why? - Just checking.
With all the people who got swatted last night,
we the only ones who've actually been shot.
I mean, last night hit a little different for me,
and I just... thought it might have for you, too.
It did.
But that was last night.
Right now, I'm focused on homecoming.
That's because what you're doing is deflecting.
Coop. I'm good, for real.
Even after Liv chose to stay with her parents instead of here?
Thing's been a little off with me and Liv lately, but we're working on it.
And if staying with her parents is what she wants,
I gotta trust she's making the right call.
What? What?
Nothing. It's just you're compartmentalizing,
- and I never thought I'd see the day. - It's not that.
I just promised myself I'mma stop playing superhero to everybody,
and focus on me.
Look, I gotta bounce.
I'll holler at you, yeah.
Hey, hey. Real quick.
What if Liv is right?
All right? What if Wade is behind the swatting?
You thought about what happens then? To homecoming?
To y'all's relationship.
- Hey, sweetheart. - Hey!
So, Jordan was right.
- About? - Not getting you breakfast.
He said it would be wise for me to not get between you...
and that burrito.
-(chuckles) - Ah...
Well, you didn't have to go to Jordan for that.
You could have just asked me.
Well, I tried, but your phone just kept going to voicemail.
It's good to see you doing okay, all things considered.
You really don't have to worry, Dad.
Jordan is doing that enough for the both of you
with his hourly check ins despite our...
Is there something going on between you two?
Between me and Jordan?
No, no.
We're just-- We're just friends.
- Friends? - Yes. Friends.
Turning ForMonica Records into a super label is my only focus right now.
Okay. I will officially mind my business.
Thank you.
Just remember what I said about using your work
to hide from a good thing that scares you.
- All right? - Mm-hmm.
Anyways, I should get going.
But listen, there is something I want to run by you,
but I just need a day or two to finish ironing out a few things.
Okay, yeah. Cool. Just let me know.
Cool. I love you.
Hey, gents.
My apologies.
First things first.
Spencer, are you good?
Yeah, all good. What's up?
Look, as you both know,
your mother is an amazing woman.
She's the best thing that's happened to me in a long time.
Full disclosure, I can't see my life without her. So...
with both of your blessings,
I would like to make her an honest woman.
Wait, how is she not an honest woman?
No, That's the OG way of saying he wants to propose.
Right?
Right.
- Wait, aren't you moving to Oakland? - Yes.
And Dillon, I understand that complicates things,
because you and your mom may not be ready to leave Crenshaw,
but your mom and I are grown
and we can definitely make the long distance thing work.
So, what do you guys think?
(both laugh)
We signed off on you months ago, man.
Oh, my God.
Oh. (chuckles)
Listen. Hey.
And I know Moms can't see a future without you.
I just got one request, though.
Yeah, don't say the honest woman thing when I propose.
Dude, it's confusing.
We're gonna get you right, though.
With Moms, it's the three Fs.
- Food, flowers and... - Freddie Jackson.
- Okay. I like Freddie Jackson. - Okay.
Mm.
Mm-mm-mm-mm.
This food...
This food is amazing.
Yeah, it's my take on trout ceviche.
Wow.
Okay, you've got a new job. Now you're a whole new chef.
I love that. I love that.
(sighs) Look, Patience, about last night.
I mean, what are we doing?
I don't know.
Look, how about...
tomorrow after Spencer's game we get away for a couple days?
Maybe...
that time alone will give us some clarity.
I like the sound of that.
Um, okay. I have to go to the studio, so.
- Bye. - Bye.
Oh, are you coming for my job now, kid?
- Coach. Coach, what up? - What's up?
Look, I've been going over our route concepts to the game, right?
We've got some mismatches to explain.
There's got to be--
No, no. Man, give me the top.
(chuckles)
What's up, man?
You worried about playing against your friends tomorrow?
We went through some crazy stuff together last night, man.
Them boys is my family.
You know this it's not gonna be the last time you play against family.
But come game day,
the only family you got are the ones you share the sidelines with.
Yes, sir.
We should take on Wade.
Hmm.
Who I take don't matter.
It matters to me.
(Coach Baker) As long as Wade follows the rules, I gotta like him.
But...
if there was ever a black sheep in the family...
yeah, it'd be him.
(knock on door)
Wow!
Hey...
This place is swanky.
How much are we paying you, Adams?
Uh...
Coach, what-- what are you doing here, sir?
I was in the neighborhood, I thought I'd stop by,
offer you a ride to practice.
Uh... Um...
I mean, I have a car, but...
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
Let's go.
(Wade) Yo, what's up, guys? This is my last homecoming game
so this one hits extra hard.
Now, I want to give a big shout-out to my O-line right here.
(all cheering)
Yo, man, they keep me clean, and that is why they call me Lo Intocable.
The untouchable.
- What's up? -(shouting on video)
El. El Intocable.
Oh, my God. I can't with this guy.
I told you not to listen to that.
It has been a full day and there's still nothing.
I mean, Wade's clearly intocable when it comes to crimes, too.
These things take time.
Do you even think Wade is guilty?
- I do. - Really?
Absolutely.
Because you said it.
Thank you.
Why can't it be that easy for Spencer?
(sighs) Because I'm your father, sweetheart.
I can't afford not to believe you.
The situation's a bit more complicated
when it comes to Spence. Wade is on his team.
He already came forward once solely based on your word and--
When I was wrong. I know.
(Grace) Not this time.
The cops traced the phone call back to Wade's cell phone.
You see, I knew it.
So, what's next?
Wade.
- You gotta go with them, son. - Why? What's going on?
Wade Waters, you're under arrest for swatting.
(Wade) Are you serious? Come on.
(officer) You have the right to remain silent.
- Anything you say can-- - It was their party.
I wasn't even there. Those two set me up.
(officer) You have right to an attorney.
Yo, they set me up!
Hey.
You got to talk to 'em, man.
Okay. And say what?
J, you are QB1 one, and you need 'em behind you.
- Start with the truth. -(sighs)
- Come on. - Yeah.
(clears throat) Hey, guys. Uh...
Real quick.
I know you're all wondering what the hell's going on.
Last night, Wade had me and my friends swatted.
A roomful of cops, guns pointed at our heads.
Okay? It was crazy.
- It was messed up. - Yo, Cap.
I was with Wade last night. Ain't no way he had y'all swatted.
The cops traced the call back to Wade's phone, Romeo.
Like the cops can't fake evidence to make your moms happy.
You gotta admit it, man,
you're just mad you ain't getting no run, so you had him set up.
Me and my friends, we could've died last night.
You understand that?
(murmuring)
Yo, yo, listen, listen.
Emotions are high,
but we've got a big game to prepare for, y'all.
We've got to get on the same page.
Find a way to rise above the chaos, and be there for each other.
On and off that field.
We gotta unite,
as a family.
You're right. It is about family.
But you and J chose your other family.
Olivia Baker, the reporter who snitched on Wade,
is Jordan's sister and Spencer's girlfriend.
-(player 1) Yeah. -(player 2) What?
Wade is our family.
Our real QB1.
The way we see it, he's innocent until proven otherwise.
(indistinct chatter)
Hey, Skye, listen.
Hey, freshman.
You ever been to wine school?
You do know I'm only 18, right?
Nobody letting me in any wine school.
The classes are online, Coop.
We get to do them from the intimate comforts of my bedroom.
Mm... I see what this is. You're trying to take advantage of a girl.
You say that like it's a bad thing. (chuckles)
We can also keep it super chill, and make breakfast for dinner.
I know you've been dying to make that tri tip recipe,
and I've already picked out a few webs that would go very nicely.
I slept with Patience last night.
It kind of just happened, and we're going to give our thing another try.
I just figured you should know.
Wow.
You're such a coward.
You're really that scared of how I make you feel
that you're going to go back to something you already know doesn't work.
- Look, Skye, it's not like that. - I know you and Patience have the history.
Yes, and I know that you love her, but
can you honestly tell me that you're still in love with her?
(Asher) As of lately, Spencer's been doing most of his damage in the slot.
Yeah, I know, they like to exploit those mismatches against linebackers.
True, true, but I like our chances with JJ on him.
I mean, he played with and against Spencer plenty in high school.
He knows his tendencies.
But you knew that already.
You want to tell me why you really offered me a ride, Coach?
We both know that there are closer beaches to your house.
Okay. I heard about the swatting. I wanted to make sure you were all right.
That it didn't mess with your head too much.
Because you need me to focus for the game.
Because you're a good kid,
and I was worried.
(phone vibrates)
Thank you.
Huh.
Looks like your boy is up.
Jordan Baker is now the starting QB for tomorrow's game.
Wait, really?
Wow, I'm happy for him.
The last 24 hours have been rough for all of us.
He could use this good news.
Well, I need to know all you know on Jordan.
I am not asking you to break a bro code here.
I just need the basics.
Still got a game to win here, Adams.
(exhales)
I left you, like, a dozen messages.
I just needed a minute.
(clears throat)
Okay. You know, things go sideways with us real fast when we're not communicating.
I thought we agreed on that.
I was right about Wade.
Yeah. Yeah, well, that's why I tried to call.
So it's kind of crazy with the team right now,
but at least his ass is in jail, right?
That's all you have to say?
Because I saw your face when I first said that it was him
and you didn't believe me.
No, I didn't know what to believe.
(scoffs)
We're supposed to be more honest with each other, Liv.
But lately, all you do is hide stuff from me.
The prank calls. You're still digging into Wade's past?
Are you seriously blaming me right now?
I'm not blaming you, Liv. I'm keeping it a buck.
We are a team.
In the beginning, I told you I will always, always have your back.
I can't do that with you putting distance between us.
Well, I had to because I could feel me losing myself.
And doubting my instincts.
- What, and that is my fault? - No, Spencer.
It's just a fact.
(sighs)
Before we got swatted,
you...
you said something about people who choose to pretend.
What did you mean by that?
You've been pretending with me?
Yeah.
- I love you. - I love you, too.
(both whimpering)
These past couple of months have been really hard.
I can't with the arguing, in this endless loop, every day.
I can't with the walking on eggshells,
around each other's dreams, because what we're passionate about
is just like pulling us in opposing directions.
It shouldn't be this hard.
It just shouldn't.
So because it's hard, you don't want to do it no more?
- I didn't say that. - Then what are you saying?
I don't know.
But something has to change.
I can't keep doing this.
(phone vibrates)
(sighs)
Wade was just cleared of all the charges, so there's that.
(Coach Baker) Oh, come on, Laura, are you for real?
That's the problem with swatting is that if nobody's harmed,
the person that called it in gets off with a misdemeanor at best.
And I'm just supposed to accept that.
My kids were in that house.
Hello? They're my kids, too.
Okay. Jordan said that Wade will probably get a spot back in the homecoming game.
- Is that true? - I mean, it's up to Garrett, but yeah.
So his ass just gets to roam free with no consequence.
- Liv, language. - Golden Angeles is about to let the person
who just tried to kill me and my friends
play in the game like nothing happened.
And you're worried about my language?
Hey, hey, are you okay?
I'm not okay.
Because everything is just falling apart.
My journalism career, this Wade stuff, me and Spencer.
Okay, sweetheart, you've been going through a lot.
It's gonna be okay.
And whatever you and Spencer are going through, it's just an adjustment.
You guys are going to make it through.
Hey, you know what? Look, let's go for a ride.
All right? Now, I can't do anything about the Spencer thing,
but we can definitely do something about this Wade.
If you don't feel comfortable playing with Wade
and you choose to sit out, I support that.
(Dylan) Me too.
Someone needs to teach him a lesson.
Nah, I'mma ride it out.
Got other teammates I need to show up for.
How's Liv taking all of this?
I think Liv needs some space.
So, maybe I do, too.
I just don't want her feeling like she needs to compromise what's important
in order to be in a relationship with me.
Hmm.
Neither of you should.
I need some good news.
What's up with you, Ma?
How's... Mr. Carter?
Is he gonna propose?
Nice work, man.
- Hey, hey, hey. -(chuckles)
I'mma chill, I'mma chill, I'm gonna leave you alone.
Wait, Spencer, wait. Hold on.
About Olivia.
You've always known your dream, son.
She's just figuring out hers.
But the question is, can you give her time and space to figure out how to do it?
I guess we both got decisions to make.
(sighs)
Yeah.
Didn't think this could happen with you
From the first time you came through
Late night, talking to you
Could you be mine?
I was starting to think you were avoiding me.
Heard about Wade. You getting and losing your starting position.
I just thought you could use a friend.
You know, I never imagined starting my freshman year. (chuckles)
I mean, God, I was just glad to have a spot on the bench.
Well, today the unimaginable was put within reach.
For a few hours.
Yeah.
Now I want it, Layla.
I want to lead this team.
I want to be QB1 now, not three years from now.
But it's Wade's team.
Jordan, you work your ass off and your coach sees that.
Your time's going to come again.
And now when it does, you'll be ready.
Yes, swatting was a horrible lapse in judgment, but
we're just talking about a prank gone wrong.
A prank gone wrong?
The cops had their guns pointed at a room full of almost all Black kids,
two of which are from your team.
Come on. This is not about race.
He says, from the comfort of his own white privilege.
(sighs in exasperation)
I took this meeting as a courtesy, Billy.
You took this meeting out of guilt.
You knew you shouldn't have played Wade after everything he did.
That boy is a ticking time bomb.
And if he continues to go unchecked,
he's gonna put the rest of your team in danger, including my boys.
And I can't have that.
If you'll excuse me, I have a game to prepare for.
Are you aware that Wade bullied one of his teammates so bad in high school
that he tried to commit suicide, multiple times.
Wade's parents paid for their silence.
That's why Wade swatted us.
He's scared that I'm gonna expose that, which I still plan on doing,
but it's funny how easily I was able to dig up stuff
that happened over four years ago
and then somehow this university was just totally unaware.
Yeah, that makes you wonder how much you
and this administration have overlooked
for the sake of this program.
My daughter's not the only one that's going to keep digging and digging.
I'll make sure others will do it, too.
And you can bet they're going to keep breathing right on down your neck
until Wade is officially off this team.
No need. You're right.
I have to look out for the other boys on my team.
(all cheering)
Listen up, listen up!
Homecoming against Coastal... Don't get much better than that, right?
(screaming in agreement)
One quick announcement. Wade's benched, Baker's on QB1.
Let's go!
Okay, here we go. Let's go! Let's get it!
(shouting and cheering)
(marching band playing)
(announcer) Welcome, everyone, to Homecoming!
With an undefeated record of six wins and no losses,
this is your Golden Angeles Condors!
- Let's go get it! - Let's go get it!
(indistinct chatter)
Hey, I said it's looking like it's daytime
I guess this could be your time to shine
Jordan Baker with a 50-yard bomb over the top of the defense.
Touchdown!
-(whistle blows) - Golden Angeles strikes first.
Seven-nothing.
Baker throws the slam across the middle, but it's dropped by Spencer James.
Come on you're better than that, Spence. Take the shot.
Come on, Spence! You got this.
Ready...
Spence, get off the line!
Ready. Hut!
Let's it fly for a 70-yard touchdown! What a throw!
Golden Angeles is up 14-nothing.
- Hey, Spence, what are you doing? - I gotcha, I gotcha.
(all grunting)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Baker scampers to the pylon with only a few seconds remaining.
Touchdown!
Golden Angeles is up 20-0, as we break for halftime.
It was all right.
- Let's get out of here. - Keep exposing the safety...
- Let's go! Let's go! - ...in the end zone again.
- Let's go. - You are straight cooking out there, man.
I'm playing like straight trash, but you got it.
Does that have anything do with my sister not showing up?
Yeah, well, that sneaky bitch is really good at wrecking careers.
What did you say?
I said, that sneaky bitch is really good at wrecking...
(grunts)
We've got to go, man. Second half's about to start. Come on, come on!
Hey, I thought you weren't coming.
I was listening in the car.
Spencer is struggling. I couldn't not support him.
Yeah. Yeah.
Um...
Listen...
what is your read on Garrett?
That he can't be trusted,
and he's hiding something.
You feel that way, too?
Hey, they're back.
All right, fellas!
- Yo, you good? - Yeah.
- What's up with the glove? - Nothing, just... better grip.
Let's get in the end zone.
- Hey, hold up... - I got this one, Kenny.
Beginning of the season, I didn't see the magic.
But you proved me wrong.
Time to step up again, son.
Pick it up the second half. All right?
Bet.
I got you, Coach.
(whistle blows)
Let's go! Let's...
(announcer) Coastal is down 20 to 0 as we start up the third quarter.
Come on. Come on, B, come on.
-(all grunting) -(crowd shouting)
Go, go, go for it.
...the middle and bounces to the outside for a 60-yard score.
- Finally putting them on the board. - Yeah!
Golden Angeles 20, Coastal 7.
Yo kill, kill, kill...
(announcer) Looks like Baker's calling an audible.
- Well, what's he doing? - I don't know.
(all shouting indistinctly)
-(all cheering) -(whistles blows)
Golden Angeles strike back, increasing their lead to 27-7.
(player) Down. Set.
- Come on, Jordan! -(shouting indistinctly)
Slide, is it?
(announcer) Baker slides to his left defense. Oh, the ball slips out.
Fumble!
- JJ Parker picks it up. Touchdown! -(whistle blows)
Hey, Jordan was throwing the ball all over the field in the first half. Yeah?
In second, he's thrown, what, three passes.
You think he's injured?
- You don't? - Something I should know, gentlemen?
Uh...
They can't stop the run here.
We keep running, we control the clock, we take the lead,
and we keep the ball away from J and Spence.
Good call, Adams.
In a surprising turn of events,
Coastal has kept the ball for most of the second half and now leads the game 31-27.
Yeah, we've been on the sidelines a long time.
Don't matter. We've got 18 seconds left and maybe two plays
to bring this home.
Golden Angeles have no time-outs
and they'll need a small miracle to win this game.
Spencer James takes the draw and bounces outside!
You want to bounce! You want to bounce!
Play's going out of bounds
with the end zone within 15 yards.
Unbelievable! Huge risk!
But this kid is something else.
Last play of the game, everything's on the line.
49 to Mike. 49 to Mike!
JJ, get on Spencer.
Six seconds, break it, six seconds.
All right, J.
Drive. Hut.
It appears Baker's in trouble.
Guys! Take him on, take him on!
Baker's flushed out of the pocket
and forced to throw with his left hand to Spencer James
who makes an amazing catch
and slithers his way to the end zone for the winning score.
(all cheering)
The Condors soar to victory!
Jordan Baker to Spencer James, true freshman! True freshman!
(all cheering)
- So, how is the hand? - How did you know?
Uh, I was pretty much only focused on one player the entire game,
- and it was kind of hard to miss. - Yeah.
Plus, you threw the game-winning touchdown with your left hand,
didn't make sense at the time.
- What happened? - Wade happened.
- Actually, my fist to his chin happened. -(chuckles)
Nice.
- Look at you. Tough guy. - Yeah.
- Jordan... - Hey, tell me you don't feel it.
I mean, it's just the two of us... in this moment.
Tell me... Layla, tell me I'm crazy
You're not crazy.
Leave it up, leave it up
We all need a reason
Leave it up, leave it up
We all need a reason
- I'm sorry. - No, no. It's-- It's worth it.
Um, Jordan, wait. We can't.
We can't? We most certainly can. We just did.
You just broke up with Simone, and I was one of her bridesmaids.
For a wedding that never happened.
- Jordan... - Okay. All right, just...
Just answer me this honestly. Do you have feelings for me?
- Yes. - Okay. Then, I will wait.
- Because you cannot resist me forever. - Excuse me?
But, it will be fun to watch you try.
Come in. Great adjustments in the second half.
Sorry about the end result.
No. It's not your fault.
- Spencer James made one hell of a play. -(chuckles) Yeah.
But you kept us in the game. You made it close.
Uh, listen, coaching staff is going out for drinks. You want to tag along?
- We're talking next week's game plan. - Uh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
Great.
Since you're underage, you're driving this time.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
I think it's clear we don't win today without this duo.
They're the future of Golden Angeles
- and that starts today! -(whooping and laughing)
Yes! Let's celebrate. I'm going to make some popcorn.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Yo! - All right.
Oh, okay. Um...
This isn't exactly how I imagined doing this, but I'm glad the boys are here.
- We weren't missing this. - Shut up.
Um...
I had a whole speech planned.
I even have Freddie Jackson's "You Are My Lady" queued up.
I do love me some Freddie Jackson.
And I love me some you.
Maybe if you don't want to leave LA, it's cool.
(chuckles) I have no intentions of having a long-distance marriage.
- What happened to the bro confidentiality? - Didn't happen.
- What are you... - It's all right. It's all right.
You can get him back when he and I move to Oakland.
- You're coming to Oakland with me? - I'm gonna move to Oakland.
- Can you please propose to her now? - Shut up.
(all chuckling)
Not bad. Uh...
This is for you.
Grace James,
will you marry me?
Yes.
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
(both laughing)
(all exclaiming)
What are you doing?
Uh, just looking after my boys.
Wade's off the team. What more do you want?
I'm trying to protect them from Garrett.
- I don't trust him. - Based on what, Billy?
Uh, my instinct... and your daughter's.
What is so wrong with wanting to look out for Jordan and Spence?
Are you, though? Or are you looking out for yourself?
I'm trying to give them the best D1 experience possible.
Spencer and Jordan just became full-time starters,
and you want to blow that up for what?
Or is it that you can't handle not being the most important coach in their lives?
- Wade? - Don't worry. I come in peace.
-(taser crackles) - I'm not worried at all.
There's one thing I learned today, and it's that you Bakers...
- well, you're... resilient. - Good for you.
I heard you've been asking around about Garrett.
If you want Garrett, I can hand him to you.
Why would I believe anything you tell me about him?
Because I have the receipts.
Look, I have nothing left to lose, okay?
It's my senior year. My Heisman hopes are gone and possibly my NFL career.
If I'm going down in flames...
it's not gonna be alone.
It's not hard to play the victim
When the scars belong to you
(door shuts)
Hey.
I'm a waling contradiction
We're not going on our trip, are we?
A lot is changing in my life now, for the better.
I got a future I'm excited about.
And I need to keep everything about me looking forward.
No matter how scary a choice that might be.
And you can't do that with me.
I'm sorry, but I just...
I don't think that us falling back on what's familiar
is the right move for either of us.
Paralyzed, paralyzed
I'm caught in the middle of choices
Where shall we fall from where we're standing
Hey. Thanks for coming on such short notice.
Yeah, of course.
- No errand? - No, not today. Why?
I just assumed when you said you wanted to run something by me last week,
that it was maybe like a proposal thing.
Not yet. But this is about a big change.
I'm retiring and I am ready to hand over the day-to-day operations of my label.
Okay. Um...
Wow! Dad, this is... Wow! This is awesome!
I always assumed, as I grew ForMonica Records
that we'd be like real competitors one day,
but honestly, merging both of our sounds under Keating Records just makes sense.
Um, yeah. I mean... I'm not going to let you down. This is--
Wait. You want the label?
I thought you were adamant about forging your own path on your label?
Yeah, that was when I was on the indie tip.
But I'm expanding and you helped me expand, and I'm building an empire.
Wait. You, um... You didn't call me here to hand it to me. Did you?
- Look, Layla, honey. I'm sorry-- - No. Then who?
It's my protégé.
He's a lot like I was back in the day. Brains, talent, and look, even better,
he's a friend of yours.
(door opens)
I'm paralyzed, paralyzed
- Clay. - Layla.
Thanks again for the opportunity, Mr. Keating.
I won't let you down.
Staying at home alone without you
Hey, what's the word, Doc?
It's definitely broken. See here.
- Yeah. Um... How long am I out. - About six to eight weeks.
Hey.
I just had the best game of my college career.
Jordan and I both make first team.
None of that felt right without you.
I missed you.
I missed you, too.
Look, if space is what you want, then I'll give it.
I won't like it, but I'll do it.
But if you want to fight for us, which is what I want,
then I'm here to put in the work, Liv.
Full honesty. Cards on the table all the time.
Because nothing means more to me than you...
- Than you and what we are building. - I really hope you mean that.
Of course I do. Why?
Because I wanted to be the first person to tell you...
that I'm breaking a story on Coach Garrett.
My coach?
The man who just put his arms around me and Jordan on national TV
and called us the future of GAU football?
He has got some serious skeletons in his closet,
and from what I'm hearing, it's bad.
This is my future, Liv.
And mine.
I can't miss out on another story of this magnitude, Spencer.
So, what does this mean for us?
