IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US, IT'S BEEN A ROUGH ONE
AND THE GAU OFFENSE, FOR JORDAN BAKER
DUE IN LARGE PART TO NUMBER 56,
RODRICK "CHOMPS" TAYLOR,

JORDAN: 44's THE MIKE, 44's THE MIKE!

GOTTA GET OPEN FASTER. OLIVIA: OR SPENCER'S COOP: MAN, PLEASE.
MY BOY SPENCER'S THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWED UP TODAY.
PATIENCE: ANYBODY ELSE HUNGRY?
TAYLOR IS EATING US ALIVE.
SEE, WHAT GARRETT SHOULD DO IS DOUB--
THAT'S ALL RIGHT, JORDAN!
WALK IT OFF, BABY! SHORT MEMORY!
BILLY: SHORT MEMORY! PLAYERS: LET'S GO!
HE CAME BACK TOO EARLY.
I CAN TELL HIS HAND'S BOTHERING HIM. I KNEW IT.
WELL, IF IT WAS SERIOUS, COACH GARRETT WOULD HAVE PULLED HIM.
YEAH, WELL, I'M NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THAT.
JORDAN: DO YOU GUYS WANT ME TO DIE OUT THERE?
TO BE A CRIME SCENE! SPENCER: J.'s RIGHT. 'CAUSE IT'S ABOUT
LOOK, I'M GETTING OPEN, BUT HE CAN'T FIND ME 'CAUSE HE GOT

[SINGING CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE! JORDAN: YO
ISAIAH WINFIELD IN MOTION. COMMENTATOR:
- BAKER HIKES THE BALL. - ALL RIGHT AND HUT!
QUICK SCREEN TO JAMES, WHO GETS A HUGE BLOCK,
AND THERE'S NOTHING BUT DAYLIGHT AHEAD.
FOR AN EASY TOUCHDOWN, SPENCER JAMES IS IN
AND THE CONDORS TAKE THE LEAD. COOP: YES!
COOP: DID YOU SEE THAT CATCH? LAYLA: YOU SEE THAT THROW?
YOU SEE MY FRIES? [WHISTLE BLOWS]
COMMENTATOR: FLAG ON THE PLAY. THE TOUCHDOWN'S COMING BACK.
IT'S GONNA BE A PERSONAL FOUL ON ISAIAH WINFIELD.
IT WAS AN ILLEGAL CHOP BLOCK TO THE KNEE OF CHOMPS TAYLOR, COMMENTATOR 2: YEAH,
AND THE STAR LINEBACKER IS STILL DOWN.
DO YOU SEE THAT?
COOP: WELL...
PAYBACK'S A BITCH, CHOMPS.
LAYLA: YEAH, RIGHT? HE'S BEEN HITTING JORDAN ALL DAY.
WHY CAN'T THEY HIT HIM BACK?
YEAH, WELL, THEY CAN, BUT NOT LIKE THAT.
[SIGHS]
YEAH, I SAW THE HIT, LIV. I'M--I'M RIGHT HERE.
CALM DOWN BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.
LOOK, WE'LL DEAL WITH THIS WHEN I GET BACK.
OK? OK?
ALL RIGHT. YUP. [PHONE BEEPS OFF]
GRACE: YOU'LL "DEAL WITH" WHAT? BILLY: HMM?
WHAT DID YOU TWO SEE OUT THERE?
GRACE: IF IT'S NOTHING, BILLY: UM, NOTHING.
YOU AND OLIVIA WOULDN'T BE SO CONCERNED,
AND IF IT AFFECTS MY SON, I NEED TO KNOW, BILLY.
OK, LOOK, I DON'T WANT YOU TELLING SPENCER THIS
UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE, OK?
OK.
I THINK GARRETT HAD ISAIAH HIT CHOMPS INTENTIONALLY.
- AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, - REALLY?
THEY'RE LOOKING AT SOME SERIOUS NCAA SANCTIONS. GRACE: WOW.
THAT'S IF THEY EVEN STILL HAVE A FOOTBALL PROGRAM.
[BREATHLESSLY] WOW.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING. COMMENTATOR:
SINCE CHOMPS TAYLOR WENT DOWN, JORDAN BAKER IS 3-FOR-3
AND THE CONDORS ARE DRIVING WITH JUST SECONDS LEFT.
JORDAN: READY...
WHITE 80, SET!
BAKER DROPS BACK. COMMENTATOR:
HE'S GOT SPENCER WIDE-OPEN DOWN THE FIELD.
HE THROWS IT, AND IT'S...
PICKED OFF!
BAKER'S PASS CAME UP SHORT,
WILL END THE GAME. AND THAT TURNOVER
THE COUGARS HANG ON TO WIN, 14-10.
UHH! DAMN IT!
MY DAD WAS RIGHT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED TODAY. [SPENCER SIGHS]
NO, IT WASN'T ALL ON YOU.
IT JUST WASN'T OUR DAY.
[SIGHS] SO WHAT NOW?
BACK TO THE GRIND.
WE GOT A LOT MORE SEASONS AHEAD OF US, MAN.
WE JUST GETTING STARTED.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[KNOCKS TWICE] HAVE YOU TALKED TO JORDAN YET?
WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT ISAIAH?
OH. MORNING, SWEETIE. I'M DOING FINE. THANKS FOR ASKING.
- [SIGHS] DAD? - MM-HMM?
YOU SAID YOU WOULD HANDLE IT WHEN YOU GOT BACK. IT'S BEEN A WEEK.
OK, WHAT, YOU GOT SOME KIND OF A DEADLINE OR SOMETHING?
ARE YOU NOT HANDLING IT?
I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET OUR DUCKS IN A ROW
BEFORE WE START CHARGING ON. OLIVIA: OK, WELL, THEY'RE IN A ROW.
ENOUGH DUCKING AROUND ALREADY. - [CHUCKLES]
- DAD, I'M BEING SERIOUS, PLEASE. - THAT'S CUTE.
- I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO ISAIAH. - OK. AHEM.
HE LOST HIS SCHOLARSHIP TO SPENCER,
SO, HE'S BASICALLY A WALK-ON WITH NO MONEY
WHO SPENDS MOST OF HIS TIME ON THE BENCH.
HE'S THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR COACH GARRETT'S BOUNTY HUNT.
WELL, MOST FRESHMEN SIT ON THE BENCH.
UM...YOUR BROTHER AND SP--UM...
YOU CAN SAY HIS NAME. I'M NOT GONNA
SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. IT'S JUST A BREAKUP.
HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT, BY THE WAY?
'CAUSE I'M HERE IF YOU NEED TO TALK.
THANK YOU.
I'M OK.
I MEAN, IS IT EASY TO HAVE AN EX
THAT YOU STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR THAT'S CONNECTED
TO ALL PARTS OF YOUR LIFE?
NO, BUT I'M HANDLING IT, OK?
I'M FOCUSING ON ME, WHICH TAKES ME BACK
TO GARRETT'S TAKEDOWN.
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT ISAIAH HIT TAYLOR
LIKE THAT ON PURPOSE. BILLY: MM-HMM.
NOW, I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU,
BUT IT'S NOT WHAT WE KNOW; IT'S WHAT WE CAN PROVE.
THEN I WILL GO TALK TO ISAIAH AND GET PROOF.
OK--NO, NO, DON'T-- DON'T DO THAT.
WE DON'T WANT TO GO SET ANY ALARMS OFF, RIGHT?
NOW, IF-- IF ISAIAH IS GUILTY--
- HE IS. - RIGHT.
THEN HE'LL PROBABLY DENY IT AND GO RUNNING BACK
TO GARRETT, THEN THEY'LL HAVE TIME TO COVER THIS WHOLE THING UP.
NOW, LOOK, LIV, I'M PROUD OF YOU.
THIS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST AN ARTICLE, ALL RIGHT?
THIS NOT ONLY AFFECTS COACH GARRETT AND--AND ISAIAH;
THIS AFFECTS THE ENTIRE TEAM. OLIVIA: SO WHAT, THEN? WE DO NOTHING,
AND WE JUST LET HIM KEEP HURTING PEOPLE?
ABSOLUTELY NOT, BUT I, AS THE ADULT,
NEED TO TAKE THE WHEEL FROM HERE ON OUT.
[DISTANT DOG BARKS]
COOP: CARTER AIN'T GOT NO BLENDER?
THAT MAN BARELY HAS ANYTHING IN HIS KITCHEN.
AIN'T BLENDERS WEDDING-REGISTRY GIFTS?
YOU SHOULD JUST GET A NEW ONE. YOU DON'T NEED THAT OLD, BUSTED THING.
YOU NEED A BLENDER. - LET ME GUESS. - NO, I'M JUST
TAKING A MENTAL NOTE OF EVERYTHING YOU TAKING UP OUTTA HERE,
GRACE: OH, SORRY, TAMIA. I NEED WHEN I MOVE IN. SO I KNOW WHAT
I RENTED OUT THE PLACE. IT'S KINDA WHY I'M PACKING IT UP.
YOU MOVING OUT OF THE BAKERS' HOUSE?
NOT YET, BUT WHEN I GET INTO GAU, I'MMA WANT TO BE CLOSE TO THE CAMPUS.
BESIDES, I'M NOT EVEN SURE I WANT TO STAY THERE NOW THAT SPENCE AND LIV ARE--
NOW THAT WE'RE WHAT?
DONESO, SPLITSVILLE. UH, BROKEN UP,
AIN'T YOU GOT SOMEWHERE TO BE? - SPEAKING OF SPLITSVILLE, - COME ON, BRO.
IT'S BEEN, LIKE, TWO WEEKS. DON'T BE LIKE THAT.
YOU BROKE UP WITH HER, AND THE ONLY TIME YOU AIN'T CRYING
AT HOME IS WHEN YOU CRYING AT THE GYM.
THE ONE WALKING AROUND ACTING BUTT HURT. LIV SHOULD BE
GRACE: TAMIA'S RIGHT. "BUTT HURT" BUSINESS, NOT ALL THAT
BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.
IT AIN'T THAT EASY JUST TO MOVE ON, MA.
'CAUSE SHE ALWAYS OUT. YEAH, SEEMS TO BE THAT WAY FOR LIV
GRACE: YOU'RE IN COLLEGE. SPENCER: OUT WHERE?
ENJOY BEING YOUNG WHILE YOU CAN.
YOU NEED TO DO A LITTLE LESS COOP: ONE HUNDRED.
WORKING OUT AND A LITTLE MORE WILDING OUT.
HEY. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A.A. RON DAVIS,
AND HE SIGNED TO KEATING RECORDS.
WELL, HE IS A.A. JERK.
I'M SURPRISED KEY AND PEELE HAVEN'T SUED HIM YET.
YEAH, WELL, HE'S THE SECOND ARTIST I'VE LOST TO CLAY THIS WEEK.
JORDAN: HEY, YO--SORRY.
AM I INTERRUPTING SOMETHING?
UH, NO, NOT AT ALL.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
JORDAN: HEH! LAYLA: YEAH,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, JORDAN?
IS THAT COFFEE FOR US?
I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE VANILLA LATTES.
THEY ARE MY FAVORITE.
THAT IS SO NICE. PATIENCE: AW.
AND IT WAS PERFECT TIMING, TOO, 'CAUSE LAYLA IS IN A MOOD.
PATIENCE: CLAY. JORDAN: YEAH?
AH. WHAT ABOUT CLAY?
UM, HE CAN OFFER ARTISTS EVERYTHING:
A P.R. DEPARTMENT, A MARKETING DEPARTMENT, A SOCIAL-MEDIA DEPARTMENT,
AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE BUSINESS CARDS WITH MY NAME ON THEM.
WELL, WHO NEEDS BUSINESS CARDS ANYWAYS, RIGHT?
YOU'RE LAYLA KEATING. I WOULD TAKE YOU ANY DAY.
I MEAN--WHAT I MEAN IS, LIKE, I WOULD RATHER BE WITH LAYLA
THAN CLAY, BUSINESS-WISE...NOT SEX.
ANYWAY, UM, I HAVE TO STEP MY GAME UP
'CAUSE KEATING RECORDS' P.R. DEPARTMENT IS TOP-TIER,
AND THEY'D BE TOUGH TO BEAT, BUT LUCKILY, I HAVE KNOWN
THE WOMAN IN CHARGE SINCE I WAS A KID.
UH-OH. YOU GONNA TRY TO POACH HER?
WELL, CLAY TOOK MY ARTISTS. WHY NOT TAKE HIS HEAD OF P.R.?
SAVAGE.
[CELL PHONE RINGTONE] PATIENCE: HMM. UH-OH.
LET ME TAKE THIS REAL QUICK. LAYLA: AHEM. YEAH.
PATIENCE: HELLO?
SAVED BY THE RINGTONE.
- "BUSINESS-WISE AND NOT SEX"? - [SIGHS]
THAT'S SMOOTH. [JORDAN SIGHS]
SHE PROBABLY JUST THOUGHT I WAS BEING FUNNY, SO--
YEAH. NOBODY THINKS THAT.
YOU'RE A LOTTA THINGS, JORDAN, BUT FUNNY'S NOT ONE OF THEM.
WHOA, OK, HOLD ON. FUNNY IS MY MAIN THING, OK?
LAYLA, IF I WAS ON A DATING APP, THAT'D BE THE FIRST THING
IN MY BIO, IN BOLD...FLASHING.
SO YOU'D START A NEW RELATIONSHIP BASED ON A LIE.
THAT IS SAD AND DEFINITELY NOT FUNNY.
WHATEVER, KEATING.
I'M HILARIOUS, OK?
LOOK, EVEN WITH BOTH MY EYES CLOSED
AND ONE JOKE TIED BEHIND MY BACK, HMM?
YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT.
JORDAN: PATIENCE. PATIENCE: YEAH?
REAL QUICK, RIGHT HERE. I'M FUNNY, RIGHT?
[PATIENCE SCOFFS] [LAYLA LAUGHS]
MMM. WHAT? SHE'S FUNNY.
OK. ALL RIGHT.
UH, I'M LOOKING FOR THE WUNDERKIND COACH OF THE RAYS.
STUDENT COACH.
AH. RIGHT.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
MMM.
STUDENT, RIGHT. EXPLAINS WHY YOU'RE STILL HERE.
THEY HAVEN'T TAUGHT YOU TO LEAVE WHEN THE SEASON'S OVER.
- YOUR COACH DOESN'T THINK SO. - UM, I'M A SLOW LEARNER.
WHAT'S HE HAVING YOU DO?
EXIT INTERVIEWS AND WORKOUT ROUTINES FOR THE FRESHMEN.
OOH. A BOWL WIN AND NEW COACH DUTIES. YOU'RE A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
- [GIGGLES] - YEAH.
YOUR MAN HAS SOME SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY NOW.
AND WITH GREAT RESPONSIBILITY COMES GREAT POWER.
UH, I...THINK THAT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
OH. HEH! YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I DON'T--I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER.
BUT IF I IMPRESS COACH MONTES, IT'LL GO
A LONG WAY TO MAKING ME AN ACTUAL COACH SOMEDAY, SO...
WELL, I'M IMPRESSED. DOES THAT DO ANYTHING FOR YOU?
- HEH! YEAH, IT DOES. - [GIGGLES]
MMM.
[SIGHS] I JUST NEED THE TEAM TO BE IMPRESSED, TOO.
- I NEED THESE GUYS - MM-HMM.
TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, YOU KNOW?
- SPEAKING OF, - YEAH.
JJ SHOULD BE HERE BY NOW.
[DOOR OPENS] JJ: MMM.
AH.
YO. DID YOU GET MY TEXT?
UH...
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE MY PHONE IS. HEH! WHAT'S UP?
YOU MISSED YOUR EXIT INTERVIEW.
ALL RIGHT, RELAX, MAN.
WE'RE ROOMMATES. WE CAN DO THE INTERVIEW WHENEVER.
JUST NOT NOW 'CAUSE MY HEAD IS KILLING ME.
I SPENT AN HOUR COMING UP WITH A WORKOUT ROUTINE FOR YOU.
HOW DO YOU THINK IT MAKES ME LOOK WHEN MY OWN ROOMMATE BLOWS ME OFF?
I DIDN'T BLOW YOU OFF. I FORGOT.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
LOOK, IT'S NOT JUST THE INTERVIEW, JJ.
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE GYM SINCE THE SEASON ENDED.
IT'S CALLED OFFSEASON FOR A REASON, BIG GUY.
THEY GAVE YOU A SCHOLARSHIP THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN NEED, JJ.
AT LEAST PRETEND THAT IT MATTERS TO YOU.
SPENCE--SPENCE KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. SPENCER: WHAT?
HE'S WORKED OUT EVERY DAY SINCE HIS SEASON ENDED,
SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY. JJ: WELL, HE SHOULD.
THEY LOST THEIR BOWL GAME. WE WON OURS.
SPENCER: WELL, I WOULDN'T KNOW. THEY DON'T AIR POINTLESS GAMES.
[CHUCKLING] OK, I'M GONNA FORGET THAT YOU SAID THAT,
BUT HELP ME OUT, PLEASE?
TELL JJ THAT THE SEASON ENDING DOES NOT GIVE HIM
AN ENDLESS PASS TO PARTY. JJ: ALL RIGHT, WELL, TELL ASHER
THAT LIFE MOVES PRETTY FAST.
YOU DON'T STOP TO LOOK AROUND ONCE IN A WHILE,
YOU COULD MISS IT.
THAT'S FERRIS BUELLER.
I THINK JJ's GOT THE RIGHT IDEA.
[CHUCKLES]
A PARTY SOUNDS GREAT.
WHERE WE GOING?
[JJ CHUCKLES]
I'VE DREAMED
ABOUT THIS MOMENT
FOR SO, SO, SO LONG. [SNIFFLING]
AND NOW THAT SPENCER IS SINGLE
AND LOOKING TO SMASH, I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE WORDS.
I GUESS I SHOULD START BY THANKING OLIVIA FOR BEING SO TOUGH TO DATE.
IT IS NOT THAT DEEP, ALL RIGHT? IT'S JUST A NIGHT OUT WITH MY BOYS.
IT IS THAT DEEP, SPENCE.
"LITTLE MERMAID,"
"UNDER THE SEA" DEEP.
ALL MY BOYS ARE SINGLE AGAIN.
I'M STILL WITH JAYMEE. YOU SAW HER YESTERDAY.
I'M TALKING ABOUT MY BOYS WHO HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN HOW TO HAVE FUN.
I'M JUST TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU.
AND I'M JUST TRYING TO GET MY PARTY ON.
AND I'M JUST TRYING TO NOT LISTEN TO Y'ALL ARGUE
LIKE AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE. HOW 'BOUT THIS?
TO HAVE FUN TONIGHT ASHER PROMISES
THE GYM TOMORROW MORNING. IF JJ PROMISES TO HIT
SPENCER: THANK YOU. WHERE ARE WE GOING? [JJ SIGHS]
WHERE ELSE?
YOU BEING SINGLE IS MY GOLDEN KEY
TO THE GOLDEN DOOR
OF GOLDEN ANGELES UNIVERSITY...
- WHERE THE PARTIES NEVER STOP, - STOP SAYING GOLDEN.
THE BEER TRICKLES DOWN LIKE WINE, AND THE WOMEN--
- DO NOT KNOW YOU. - BOOM.
PROBLEM IS, YOU DON'T KNOW ANY GIRLS AT GAU,
SO WE HAVE TO DO SOME ON-CAMPUS RECON.
I KNOW GIRLS AT GAU. HOLD ON.
JJ: OLIVIA DOESN'T COUNT. ASHER: NEITHER DO YOUR PROFESSORS.
I KNOW ONE GIRL AT GAU.
HMM.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
[LIVELY CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS]
[TURNS OFF MUSIC]
- HEY, LAYLA. - HEY.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. - YEAH.
I'M SO SORRY, BUT LAURIE HAS TO CANCEL.
SHE LITERALLY JUST CALLED. LAYLA: I GUESS I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED.
FEEL LIKE SHE STILL SEES ME AS JP's BABY GIRL WITH THE PIGTAILS.
I'M SURE THAT'S NOT TRUE. YOU STARTED YOUR OWN LABEL RIGHT OUTTA HIGH SCHOOL.
YEAH, SHE CALLED ME "LITTLE LAYLA" 3 TIMES
IN OUR 2-MINUTE CONVERSATION, EVEN USED A CUTE BABY VOICE.
DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY. SHE STILL CALLS ME "I.G."
- "INTERN GIA." - MMM?
IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS, BUT AT LEAST SHE DOESN'T USE THE BABY VOICE.
"LITTLE LAYLA" AND "INTERN GIA"-- YOU KNOW, I GUESS
LEAVE ROOM FOR GROWTH. SOME PEOPLE DON'T GIA: YEAH.
I'LL TRY WHEN SHE'S GOT MORE TIME.
SHE'S PROBABLY SWAMPED WITH ALL YOUR NEW CLIENTS.
HMM. THE ONLY THING LAURIE'S SWAMPED WITH IS SPIN CLASS.
PRETEND I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
I'M JUST--HEH!-- A LITTLE UNDER IT RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU COULD USE A NIGHT OUT.
[BOTH CHUCKLE] GIA: YEAH.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES] JORDAN: HEH HEH!
THAT'S FUNNY. COME ON.
OLIVIA: WHAT'S FUNNY?
ME.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT, OLIVIA? - SINCE WHEN?
OK.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR FRIEND ISAIAH, OK?
I'M PRETTY SURE COACH GARRETT PUT ISAIAH
IN THE GAME TO HURT CHOMPS TAYLOR.
REALLY, LIV?
ISAIAH BEAT UP CHOMPS? ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE
OLIVIA: GARRETT'S PLAYERS HAVE A HISTORY FOR A STORY?
OF HURTING GUYS ON THE OTHER TEAM TO WIN GAMES.
THERE'S PROOF; I MEAN, CIRCUMSTANTIAL PROOF, BUT--
WERE YOU--WERE YOU EVEN WATCHING THE GAME? WE DIDN'T WIN.
YEAH, BUT CHOMPS GOING DOWN GAVE YOU A CHANCE.
I MEAN, HE WAS DESTROYING YOU ALL GAME BEFORE ISAIAH TOOK HIM OUT.
WELL, ISAIAH PROTECTED ME BY BLOCKING A MUCH BIGGER GUY, OK?
HE ISN'T USED TO THROWING BLOCKS LIKE THAT,
SO HE HIT CHOMPS A LITTLE LOW, AND HE
GOT PENALIZED FOR IT, END OF STORY.
IT IS NOWHERE NEAR THE END, OK? LOOK,
I'M TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING HERE, OK?
I BLINDSIDED YOU WITH THE WADE STUFF LAST SEMESTER.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BLINDSIDE YOU AGAIN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HEADS-UP, BUT YOU'RE WRONG, OK?
YEAH, WELL, EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS WRONG ABOUT WADE, TOO.
ISAIAH IS NOT WADE, OK? ISAIAH IS A GOOD FRIEND
WHO BUSTED HIS ASS ALL SEASON TO EARN A SPOT.
OLIVIA: TO PLEASE GARRETT. WHAT REASON WOULD HE EVEN HAVE TO DO IT?
I MEAN, WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT PREDATOR OFFERED HIM?
JORDAN: NO, NO. LISTEN--
ISAIAH DIDN'T DO IT, OK? YOU'RE WRONG.
[OLIVIA SIGHS] LET IT GO.
SPENCER: SOMETHING'S UP. [JJ CHUCKLES]
FEEL LIKE EVERY GIRL ON CAMPUS IS STARING AT ME.
YOU'RE A GAU CELEBRITY.
THEY WERE ALWAYS STARING AT YOU.
YOU'RE JUST FINALLY SEEING COLLEGE THROUGH SINGLE EYES.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD. [SPENCER CHUCKLING]
JORDAN: WELL, YOU'RE WRONG, OK? OLIVIA: WHATEVER.
[SIGHS]
SPENCER: WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT? JORDAN: NOTHING.
JUST...JUST LIV BEING LIV, RIGHT?
LOOK, I'D--I'D DUMP HER, TOO, IF I COULD
BUT MY DNA WON'T LET ME, RIGHT? [JJ AND JORDAN CHUCKLE]
LISTEN, I GOTTA TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING. I'LL SEE YOU GUYS TONIGHT.
JORDAN: AMAZING. EXCUSE ME. SPENCER: YEAH.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YOU GOTTA TALK TO OLIVIA.
I SWEAR, ME AND YOUR MAMA RAISED Y'ALL WITH MANNERS.
SHE WON'T LEAVE MY FOOTBALL TEAM ALONE, OK?
I--I GET THE WHOLE WADE THING, BUT NOW--
NOW SHE'S EXAGGERATING THIS ISAIAH THING.
I EVEN HAD TO LIE TO SPENCER ABOUT IT. IT NEEDS TO STOP.
- SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU. - WHAT, YOU KNOW?
YOUR SISTER AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO COACH GARRETT FOR A WHILE NOW.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY YOU UNTIL WE HAD THE FULL STORY.
THERE IS NO STORY, OK?
YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW ISAIAH LIKE I DO, ALL RIGHT?
HE WOULDN'T HURT SOMEONE ON PURPOSE.
THAT HIT WAS NO ACCIDENT. YOU SHOULD WATCH THE TAPE.
I DON'T NEED TO WATCH THE TAPE, OK? I WAS THERE.
AN INJURY ENDED YOUR CAREER, DAD, RIGHT?
DO I REALLY NEED TO REMIND YOU THAT INJURIES HAPPEN
ALL THE TIME IN FOOTBALL? BILLY: THEY DO,
BUT THEY SEEM TO HAPPEN MORE TO THE PLAYERS THAT GO UP AGAINST GARRETT.
LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS HARD FOR YOU TO PROCESS, SON,
BUT YOU NEED TO TRUST ME.
[SIGHS]
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
HEY.
YOU'RE HOME EARLY. HOW'D THE MEETING GO?
UH, IT DIDN'T. SHE CANCELED.
UH, BUT I INVITED HER ASSISTANT GIA OUT TONIGHT.
THINK YOU'LL LIKE HER. SHE'S A FAN OF YOURS.
OK, SO IS THIS YOUR WAY OF SAYING THAT I'M GOING OUT TONIGHT?
- OK, GOT YOU. - [GIGGLES]
SO IS THIS A "KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER" SORTA THING?
I JUST THOUGHT SHE COULD USE A NIGHT OUT.
JUST SAYING, AND PLUS, YOU KNOW,
IT COULDN'T HURT TO HAVE SOMEONE ON THE INSIDE,
LAYLA: SUPPOSE IT COULDN'T. LIKE A SPY.
PATIENCE: I'M JUST SAYIN'. [BOTH LAUGH]
BILLY: YOU SURE YOU WANT TO MARRY
A DUDE THAT HAS ME DOING ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING?
GRACE: D'ANGELO IS BUSY. BILLY: OH, YEAH, BUSY.
DON'T BE TAKING YOUR FRUSTRATIONS OUT ON MY MAN.
- SO CAT'S OUT THE BAG ON COACH GARRETT, HUH? - [CHUCKLES]
OH, YEAH.
I REALLY WISH LIV HADN'T SAID ANYTHING TO JORDAN.
NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SPENCER AND EVERYBODY KNOWS.
WHY WON'T SHE JUST LISTEN TO ME? GRACE: SHE'S A SMART,
STRONG-WILLED WOMAN,
JUST LIKE YOU RAISED HER TO BE.
- AND SHE'S STUBBORN. - OH, WELL.
GOT THAT FROM YOU, TOO.
WELL, I JUST WISH SHE'D THINK THINGS THROUGH
BEFORE SHE BURNS DOWN THE HOUSE.
YOU SURE SHE HASN'T? LOOK, I MEAN, SHE'S GOING THROUGH A LOT RIGHT NOW.
SPENCER SAW THAT, AND SO HE GAVE HER THE SPACE
SO SHE CAN HANDLE IT.
MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO DO THAT, TOO.
HMM. HOW IS SPENCER?
HE'S PRETTY UPSET,
AND TO BE HONEST, SO AM I.
I THINK THEY WERE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER.
ME, TOO, AND THEY WERE.
WELL, IF IT'S MEANT TO BE, THEY'LL FIND THEIR WAY BACK, RIGHT?
KINDA LIKE YOU AND D'ANGELO.
- YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY. - I AM FUNNY.
- THAT WAS FUNNY. YOU CAN LAUGH. - THAT'S DEBATABLE.
IT'S NOT FUNNY. SHUT UP. THAT'S OK. GRACE: NO,
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
IF IT ISN'T GAU's MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR.
AND THE SECOND HE BREAKS UP WITH HIS GIRL, HE CALLS ME.
DAVITA: I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO GET THE FINAL ROSE.
THIS AIN'T "THE BACHELOR," A'IGHT, LOOK,
ESPECIALLY NOT BETWEEN FRIENDS. AND THERE AIN'T NO ROSES,
WILL YOU TELL YOUR FRIEND NOT EVERY GIRL IS INTO HIM?
SPENCER: YEAH. I APPRECIATE YOU. JJ: LIE TO HIM? NO WAY.
BOTH OF Y'ALL ARE A MESS.
HEH! ANYWAY, I TOOK CARE OF YOU.
MY BUSINESS SORORITY FRIENDS ARE THROWING A PARTY TONIGHT.
SPENCER: OH, THAT'S WHAT'S UP. JJ: UH, NO. THAT IS DEFINITELY
NOT WHAT'S UP. THAT WOULD BE A NEGATIVE.
OH, THE SUBTRACTION BUTTON FOR YOU BUSINESS TYPES.
I MEAN, HOW DESPERATE DO YOU THINK WE ARE?
BASED ON SPENCER'S YARD YACK POST, VERY.
I'M SORRY. WHAT POST?
"SMASHTOUR"?
JJ: I--I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE SHIRTS, BUT TRUST ME.
THAT POST--IT'S GONNA DRIVE THE LADIES CRAZY.
[CHUCKLES]
OLIVIA: "SMASHTOUR"?

HOW DO YOU ALREADY HAVE A DRINK? WE JUST WALKED IN.
IT'S A PARTY.
DAVITA: ABOUT TIME YOU GOT HERE.
DAVITA: WHAT DO YOU THINK? SPENCER: WHAT'S UP?
JORDAN: WELL, YOU KNOW, THE WAY JJ DESCRIBED IT,
I WAS EXPECTING S.A.T. PREP CLASS AND HARD SELTZERS.
I KNOW IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT TONIGHT, BUT BUSINESS IS ONE
OF THE HARDEST MAJORS AT GAU, SO THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO BLOW OFF STEAM.
OH, I AM DEFINITELY CHANGING MAJORS.
- SHE SAID "STEAM," JJ. - I HEARD WHAT I HEARD.
LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO EVERYONE.
HEY, EVERYONE, SPENCER JAMES IS IN THE HOUSE,
AND IN CASE Y'ALL MISSED YARD YACK,
HE'S SINGLE.
WOMEN: WHOO!
AH. HEH!
TONIGHT IS GONNA BE EPIC.
WE'LL BE TELLING OUR KIDS ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU, JJ, BUT YOU AIN'T NEVER GETTING NEAR MY KIDS, MAN.
[BANKS SINGING INDISTINCTLY] JJ: HEH HEH!
GIA: I MEAN, IT'S PRETTY MUCH A BOY'S CLUB SINCE CLAY TOOK OVER.
I'M SURPRISED HE HASN'T PUT A HOT TUB IN THE LOBBY.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A LOBBY. - FORGET THE HOT TUB. - OH, GIVE IT TIME.
THANK YOU, PATIENCE. UH, FORMONICA RECORDS IS STILL GROWING.
GIA: I'D RATHER HAVE A SMALL STUDIO
WITH ONE TALENTED ARTIST THAN A LOBBY FULL OF IDIOTS.
I HAVE MORE THAN ONE ARTIST.
RIGHT. YEAH. HEH!
I'M SURE LAYLA'S ALREADY TOLD YOU,
BUT I AM A HUGE FAN OF YOURS.
SHE DID, SHE DID, BUT, YOU KNOW,
YOU COULD STILL KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.
GIA: WELL, I SNUCK OUT OF WORK MY MEMORY SUCKS, SO...
TO SEE YOU ON TOUR, AND YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT.
OLIVIA: MY EX IS ON A TOUR.
A SMASHTOUR.
LAYLA: UH, THEY-- THEY JUST BROKE UP.
[OLIVIA SIGHS] GIA: MMM.
WELL, I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BUT IF HE USED
THE WORD "SMASH," YOU MIGHT BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM.
MAYBE.
HEY, THANKS AGAIN FOR LETTING ME CRASH TONIGHT.
I REALLY NEEDED TO GET OUT.
GIA: DO YOU WORK WITH LAYLA AND PATIENCE? LAYLA: YEAH.
NOPE. [SIGHS] THANKS TO MY EX,
MY BROTHER, AND MY DAD, I NOW DO NOTHING.
OK, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
