[WIND BLOWING]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
YOU HAVE A NEW REMINDER. VOICE ON PHONE:
URGENT INTERVIEW REGARDING
BOUNTY ALLEGATIONS AT GAU.
OH, MAN.
I WONDER IF I SHOULD POSTPONE MY MEETING WITH A.D. BARNES.
NO.
BABY, THESE WINDS ARE ANGRY.
THIS IS SOME ANGRY WIND.
NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. CAN'T BE ANGRY, BILLY.
IT'S NOT A PERSON.
YOU'RE GOING TO THE MEETING.
JUST BACK AWAY FROM THE WINDOW, OK?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
OLIVIA: OOH! OOH!
GOD. IT'S CRAZY OUT THERE. [DOOR CLOSES]
SEE? WHAT'D I TELL YOU? I WOKE UP THIS MORNING,
AND I KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.
EVERY YEAR, THESE SANTA ANA WINDS
BLOW INTO TOWN, AND STRANGE THINGS START TO HAPPEN.
PEOPLE GO ALL CRAZY. THAT'S WHY THEY CALL THEM THE DEVIL WINDS.
IT'S A BAD OMEN.
THEY ARE NOT A BAD OMEN.
WHAT ABOUT WHEN THE KITCHEN CAUGHT ON FIRE? HUH?
IT WAS WINDY AS HELL THAT DAY, WASN'T IT? TELL HER.
NO, THAT'S JUST 'CAUSE MOM WAS TRYING TO COOK.
OLIVIA: WELL, HE STARTED IT. LAURA: HEY!
DON'T BLAME ME. BLAME THE WIND.
ALL RIGHT. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.
OLIVIA: OOH! LAURA: WHOA!
OH.
LAURA: UH...
I'LL SHUT THAT AGAIN.
[DOOR CLOSES]
UH-HUH.
FORGET ABOUT THE WIND.
YOU'RE GOING TO THE MEETING. IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.
IT'S A BIG DAY FOR YOU.
BILLY: OK. LAURA: OK.
ALL RIGHT.
AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THESE YEARS LATER,
YOU GOT VERA STEVENS TO MARRY YOU.
WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY VERA BARNES NOW. HA HA.
WHO, BY THE WAY, HAS BEEN ASKING ME
THE SAME QUESTION EVERY SINGLE NIGHT THIS WEEK.
HAS BILLY MADE A DECISION YET?
UH, WELL, I DID.
I'M IN. LET'S DO THIS.
THERE IT IS. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.
HA HA! MAN, I'VE NEVER HAD
TO WORK SO HARD TO GET SOMEBODY ON STAFF.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I JUST HAD TO MAKE SURE.
LISTEN, UH, I HAVE, UH,
SOME NEW IDEAS ABOUT THE COACHING STAFF.
I KNOW KENNY WAS THE, UH,
WIDE RECEIVER'S COACH LAST SEASON.
I'D LOVE TO ELEVATE HIM TO
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR THIS YEAR.
LISTEN, BILLY, BEFORE YOU START
MOVING FURNITURE AROUND, OK,
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND A COUPLE THINGS ABOUT THE HOUSE.
LIKE WHAT? Y'ALL GOT TERMITES?
CLOSE. BUREAUCRATS. THE NCAA IS HERE
CONDUCTING AN INQUIRY INTO THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM.
AN INQUIRY?
LOOK, THEY JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT NO ONE ELSE HERE IS INVOLVED
IN THE "BOUNTY" SCANDAL.
OK, WELL, WHAT ARE THEY GONNA FIND?
NOTHING AT ALL. IT WAS ALL GARRETT.
THEN WE'RE GOOD.
YOU'RE GOOD. YEAH.
I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY,
KENNY IS NOT SO LUCKY.
HE AND THE OTHER COACHES ARE SOMEWHAT TAINTED BY ASSOCIATION.
RIGHT. RIGHT.
BILLY, COME ON, NOW. DON'T WAVER ON ME,
'CAUSE YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED HERE.
YOU ARE GONNA HELP THIS UNIVERSITY
FORGE A BRAVE PATH INTO THE FUTURE,
AND I'M ACTUALLY JUST--
JUST GLAD I COULD BE ALONG FOR THE RIDE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?
OK. ALL RIGHT. SO, WHEN DO I START?
YEAH, WELL, THAT-- THAT'S ON HOLD FOR RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, UNTIL THE INQUIRY ENDS,
THE UNIVERSITY HAS IMPLEMENTED THIS HIRING FREEZE THING.
I THOUGHT YOU JUST SAID WE WERE GOOD.
YOU ARE GOOD. IT'S JUST TEMPORARY.
ONCE THE NCAA GETS THEIR ANSWERS,
THEN YOU ARE GONNA BE ANNOUNCED
AS THE NEW HEAD COACH.
BILLY, COME ON, TRUST ME.
THIS IS A GOOD DAY.
WELCOME TO GAU.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
UH-OH. YOU GONNA ANSWER SKYE BAE OR NAH?
HA HA! [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
UH-UH, MAN. WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN GIRL, OK?
I AIN'T EVEN SURE ALICIA IS MY GIRL NO MORE.
[FRIDGE DOOR CLOSES]
AHEM. OH, IT'S ASH.
WANTS ME TO DROP OFF SOME CLOTHES AT THE HOSPITAL AGAIN.
DAMN, IS JAYMEE GONNA BE OK?
THEY'RE STILL WAITING ON MORE TESTS,
BUT SHE'S STABLE FOR NOW.
WELL, I COULD DROP THE CLOTHES OFF FOR HIM.
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO CHECK ON THEM BOTH.
ALL RIGHT. BET.
WHAT YOU MEAN, ALICIA AIN'T YOUR GIRL NO MORE?
WHY DON'T WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT ASH?
DAMN, IT'S THAT BAD WITH ALICIA?
SHE BASICALLY GAVE ME AN ULTIMATUM AFTER THE ROAST.
FALL BACK COMPLETELY
OR TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
BRO, YOU LOVE THE NEXT LEVEL.
I MEAN, YOU--YOU MORE OF A LESBIAN THAN ME.
PRETTY MUCH SHOPPING FOR A RING BY THE SECOND DATE.
YOU CAN KISS MY ASS, OK?
LOOK, WITH THE INTERVIEW I GOTTA DO ABOUT THE BOUNTY GATE,
I JUST GOT A LOT ON MY PLATE RIGHT NOW.
SO, THAT'S IT, THEN?
ALICIA IS FUN. DATING HER IS EASY.
WHY CAN'T THAT BE ENOUGH FOR NOW?
'CAUSE IF A GIRL TELL YOU
SHE WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD,
AND YOU'RE LIKE, "NAH, LET'S KEEP CHILLIN',"
YOU'RE BASICALLY TELLING HER IT'S OVER.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
YEAH? BECAUSE SKYE TOLD YOU
SHE LOVES YOU, AND YOU DIDN'T SAY IT BACK.
IS IT OVER BETWEEN Y'ALL?
I GOT THIS UNDER CONTROL.
YEAH. OK.
[CELL PHONES VIBRATING]
OH. LET ME HEAR WHAT YOU GONNA SAY.
UH, I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT FACE IN A WHILE.
LAYLA: THAT FLIRTY FACE. OLIVIA: WHAT FACE?
WHO ARE YOU TEXTING? OLIVIA: NOBODY.
LAYLA: UH-HUH. [SENDS TEXT]
OK, FINE. IT'S NOAH.
LAYLA: WAIT, CO-WORKER NOAH? OLIVIA: MM-HMM.
REALLY?
YEAH. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY WE HAVE, LIKE,
TEXTUAL CHEMISTRY OR WHATEVER.
WOW. THAT WAS REALLY CORNY,
WHICH MEANS YOU REALLY LIKE THIS GUY.
WHEN DID THIS ALL GO DOWN?
UM, WELL, I KISSED HIM
THE NIGHT OF MY DAD'S ROAST.
REALLY? UM, AND...?
AND...I FELT BUTTERFLIES.
I HAVEN'T FELT LIKE THAT SINCE...
WELL, I'M--I'M HAPPY FOR YOU, LIV.
WELL, GOOD, BECAUSE I ASKED CO-WORKER NOAH
OUT ON A DATE TONIGHT AND BEFORE YOU SAY, "REALLY?"
YES, LAYLA, REALLY.
OK. OK.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS IT CROOKED?
NO.
A LITTLE BIT.
WELL, THE GUY USED A LEVEL.
MAYBE IT'S YOUR SHOES.
YOU THINK I SHOULD CHANGE MY SHOES?
OK, IS THIS ABOUT THE POSTER
OR THE WHOLE "WIN A LUNCH WITH PATIENCE" THING TODAY?
I MEAN, I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I'M STRESSED ABOUT IT.
UM, DID YOU SECURE THE TABLE?
LAYLA: AT SLAUSON? PATIENCE: MM-HMM.
YEAH, I GOTTA SAY THE CASHIER WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED
SINCE NO ONE HAS LITERALLY EVER MADE A RESERVATION THERE,
BUT, YES, I SECURED IT.
LAYLA: AND BEFORE YOU ASK, PATIENCE: OK, DID YOU--
UM, IT'S NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE DOOR OR THE BATHROOM,
AND, YES, THEY STILL HAVE
HOT CHOCOLATE WRITTEN ON THEIR CHALK MENU.
LAYLA: SO, CAN WE MOVE ON NOW? PATIENCE: COOL.
WAIT, NO, NO, NO, OK. YOU WERE THE ONE
THAT SAID I NEEDED TO DO THIS WHOLE FAN THING,
AND NOW YOU'RE ACTING PRESSED 'CAUSE
I CARE ABOUT THE DETAILS?
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CARING AND OBSESSING.
LIKE, SINCE WHEN DO YOU CARE ABOUT
EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE SITTING?
I DON'T KNOW. SINCE EVERY SINGLE MOVE I MAKE
IS NOW BEING SCRUTINIZED ONLINE.
LIKE, UM, WHAT I WEAR, WHAT I--WHAT I DRINK.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A--A TWEET
THAT I SAW THE OTHER DAY
THAT ACCUSED ME OF BLINKING TOO MUCH.
YEAH. AND I DON'T KNOW. WHAT IF THEY MEET ME
AND THEY DECIDE THEY DON'T LIKE ME?
THEY'RE LIKE, LITERALLY, YOUR BIGGEST FAN.
THEY'RE GONNA LOVE YOU.
OK.
YEAH. [SCOFFS]
HOW'D THE INTERVIEW GO?
CAN I OPEN MY JUICE FIRST OR...?
WHAT'D YOU SAY IN THE INTERVIEW?
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING.
OK? THAT I FOUND OUT THAT GARRETT
WAS A SOCIOPATH AFTER THE FACT.
I TOLD THE TRUTH.
OK, BET. ME, TOO.
SO, WHY DO I FEEL MAD GUILTY?
BECAUSE HE WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US
AND WE JUST COULDN'T SEE IT.
I MEAN, THEN AGAIN, WE'RE JUST STUDENTS,
BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY FOR THE COACHES.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I MEAN, THE ADMINISTRATION IS
PROBABLY GONNA FIRE COACH KENNY
AND THE OTHER ASSISTANT COACHES.
YOU KNOW, CLEAN HOUSE.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT MY DAD SAID.
HOLD UP. WHY DIDN'T YOUR POPS TELL ME THIS?
I'M THE ONE THAT'S BEEN PUSHING
FOR KENNY TO BECOME HEAD COACH.
HE PROBABLY JUST THOUGHT THAT
I WOULD TELL YOU, YOU KNOW?
THIS WHOLE THING'S UNFAIR, MAN.
KENNY AIN'T DO NOTHING WRONG.
YEAH, WE KNOW THAT, BUT THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION IS
A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY, ALL RIGHT?
GAU IS TRYING TO SAVE FACE HERE,
SO, UNLESS WE CAN FIND SOMEONE
WHO CAN PROVE THAT GARRETT ACTED ALONE...
ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING?
YEAH.
SPENCER: ISAIAH. JORDAN: ISAIAH.
EVERY TIME I TALK TO YOU GUYS,
YOU'RE ASKING ME TO BLOW UP MY ENTIRE LIFE.
I ALREADY DID THE LAST FAVOR YOU ASKED.
I'M DONE.
SPENCER: LOOK, LOOK, I WISH AN ANONYMOUS QUOTE
IN AN ARTICLE WAS ENOUGH, BUT IT AIN'T.
IN ORDER TO CLEAR COACH KENNY AND ALL THE OTHER COACHES,
THEY WILL NEED A FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT, MAN.
WHY? NO ONE EVER SAID THEY WERE INVOLVED.
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ISAIAH.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS PROBABLY GONNA
FEEL PRESSURE TO CLEAN HOUSE.
THAT MEANS EVERY ASSISTANT COACH ON THIS TEAM
IS GONNA LOSE THEIR JOB UNLESS SOMEONE
CAN PROVE THAT GARRETT ACTED ALONE.
THE SECOND THAT I ADMIT THAT I INTENTIONALLY
INJURED A PLAYER, I'M DONE.
MY SCHOLARSHIP WILL BE GONE.
LOOK, I FEEL BAD FOR KENNY, THE OTHER COACHES,
BUT THEY CAN GET ANOTHER JOB.
NOT IF THEY GET FIRED FOR THIS.
THIS WILL FOLLOW THEM AROUND FOREVER.
THEY WILL ALWAYS BE THE GUYS
WHO USED COLLEGE KIDS FOR TARGET PRACTICE.
COME ON, ISAIAH. YOU KNOW THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
STOP, STOP, STOP.
LOOK, THIS IS YOUR DECISION.
JUST LIKE IT WAS WHEN YOU TALKED TO LIV.
NOW YOU GOT ALL THE FACTS, SO,
WHATEVER YOU TELL THE NCAA IS UP TO YOU.
COME ON.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING]
HEY. UH, YOU'RE MIKO, RIGHT?
MIKO: PATIENCE. I'M PATIENCE.
I KNOW. OBVIOUSLY. HA!
AM I LATE?
NO. SORRY.
I--I WAS REALLY EXCITED,
SO, I GOT HERE, LIKE, AN HOUR EARLY.
IT IS SO GREAT TO MEET YOU.
WELL, YEAH, YOU, TOO. YOU, TOO.
UM, YOU KIND OF LOOK FAMILIAR.
LIKE, HAVE WE MET BEFORE?
YOU RECOGNIZE ME?
I WAS AT YOUR-- YOUR VORTEX TOUR.
7 OUT OF 8 STOPS.
I COULDN'T MAKE THE LAST ONE BECAUSE I GOT
WALKING PNEUMONIA SINCE TOUR 6 WAS OUTDOORS,
BUT I DID WATCH THE LIVESTREAM.
DON'T WORRY.
WOW. HA HA!
I KNOW I'M A BIT EXTRA.
IT'S JUST...YOU SORT OF CHANGED MY LIFE.
OK. YEAH. NOW--NOW YOU'RE EXAGGERATING.
NO, SERIOUSLY. I MEAN, I WAS--I WAS MADE FUN OF
A LOT IN SCHOOL.
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST--
I WAS JUST-- I WAS JUST REALLY SHY
AND I JUST DIDN'T LIKE MYSELF.
BUT CHATTING WITH THE VORTEX FANDOM ONLINE
AND WATCHING THE WAY YOU BLOSSOMED THIS YEAR,
IT...IT'S HELPED ME BE MORE CONFIDENT,
COMFORTABLE WITH WHO I AM.
AND, LIKE, I'M STILL UNCOOL, OBVIOUSLY, BUT...
I DON'T MIND SO MUCH THESE DAYS.
HMM. WELL, MIKO, UM... I THINK YOU ARE VERY COOL.
OK?
OH, AND...HEH. THANK YOU FOR THIS. HA HA HA!
MMM. IT'S GOOD.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK ISAIAH'S GONNA DO?
EITHER WAY, THE OUTCOME AIN'T GOOD.
HE TELLS THE TRUTH, HE'S GONE.
IF HE DOESN'T, COACH KENNY'S GONE.
I'M NOT EVEN GONNA RECOGNIZE THIS TEAM IN A YEAR.
KIND OF MAKES ME JEALOUS YOU ON THE WAY OUT.
YEAH, UH, ABOUT THAT.
HMM.
FORGOT TO TELL YOU, BUT I DECIDED TO STAY.
YOU FORGOT TO TELL ME?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN' ON, J?
I THOUGHT THAT YOU'D BE HAPPY.
AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE HAPPY TRANSFERRING.
I JUST--I THOUGHT ABOUT IT,
AND I DECIDED THAT
MY FUTURE WAS BETTER WITH GAU.
YOU THINK YOUR FUTURE'S BETTER WITH A PROGRAM
IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION?
REALLY?
DO YOU NOT WANT ME TO STAY?
NO. YOU'RE JUST NOT MAKING ANY SENSE, BRO.
I'M NOT MAKING ANY SENSE?
SPENCER, YOU WERE PISSED WHEN I DECIDED TO LEAVE GAU.
NOW YOU'RE SALTY THAT I'M STAYING?
NO. NO. I'M HAPPY YOU'RE STAYING.
THE MATH JUST AIN'T MATHING, MAN.
LOOK, LISTEN, THIS IS THE MATH.
I CHANGED MY MIND. THAT'S ALL.
SPENCER: COOL. JORDAN: COOL.
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN TODAY, OK?
I MEAN, DO YOU SEE HOW WINDY OUT IT IS?
THE SANTA ANAS ARE A BAD OMEN.
OK, UH, JORDAN, THINGS AREN'T PERFECT
RIGHT NOW, OK, BUT THEY'RE NOT OMINOUS. ALL RIGHT?
NO, YEAH. ACTUALLY, I'M HAPPY. I'M HAPPY.
OK.
I HAVE--I HAVE TWO GREAT THINGS
GOING ON IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.
I JUST CAN'T TALK ABOUT 'EM.
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT US.
AND I CAN'T TELL SPENCER THAT I'M GONNA STAY AT GAU
BECAUSE MY DAD IS ABOUT TO BE OUR HEAD COACH.
OK, UM, SO, IT SOUNDS LIKE
THINGS COULD GET A LITTLE MESSY
BETWEEN YOUR DAD AND SPENCER,
SO, JUST, YOU KNOW, BE CAREFUL
NOT TO GET YOURSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
WELL, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.
I MEAN, SPENCER'S LIKE A BROTHER TO ME, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, HOW DID I GET HERE WHERE I AM
KEEPING THE BEST PARTS OF MY LIFE FROM HIM?
WHY--WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?
I AM NOT LAUGHING. I'M JUST...SMILING.
I JUST LIKE HEARING THAT I'M ONE OF
THE BEST PARTS OF YOUR LIFE.
AH. NO, NO, NO, NO. OK. COME HERE, LAYLA.
WHAT?
YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF MY LIFE.
YOU ARE THE BEST PART OF MY LIFE, OK?
OK.
[WIND BLOWING]
TAKING A VICTORY LAP AFTER YOUR DAUGHTER
DESTROYED THE PROGRAM WITH HER ARTICLE, BILLY?
JAYDEN DAVIS WROTE THAT ARTICLE.
RIGHT. RIGHT.
WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?
THE NCAA WANTS TO HEAR MY SIDE OF THE STORY.
YOU ARE THE STORY.
MAYBE. MAYBE NOT.
I HEAR THEY'RE CONSIDERING THE DEATH PENALTY.
IN THE PAST, THAT'S MEANT SHUTTING DOWN ENTIRE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS,
SOMETIMES FOR YEARS AT A STRETCH.
THAT WON'T HAPPEN IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH.
THIS WAS ALL YOU, MAN. DON'T DRAG THE PROGRAM
AND THE OTHER COACHES DOWN WITH YOU.
LIKE I SAID...PENALTIES ARE GONNA BE SEVERE.
IT'S A SHAME WHAT'LL HAPPEN TO SPENCER AND JORDAN'S CAREERS.
HA HA. SPENCER AND JORDAN ARE GONNA BE JUST FINE.
MY FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS GONNA BE TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE TOXICITY AT THIS PLACE ENDS WITH YOU.
[CHUCKLES]
SO, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE. YOU'RE THE NEW HEAD COACH.
OH. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
THAT'S THE WORST THING ABOUT THE TOP JOB, BILLY.
YOU NEVER SEE THE BAD THINGS COMING.
IT'S LIKE THE WIND.
ONE MOMENT IT'S AT YOUR BACK,
AND THE NEXT, IT'S CHANGING DIRECTION.
SO, THEN I MENTIONED DESERTS, RIGHT?
PASS ME THE--
OH, YES.
SO, THEN HE SAYS, UH--
OH, ACTUALLY, WE--
THANK YOU.
SO, THEN HE SAYS,
"NO, I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN THERE,
BUT THERE WAS-- THERE WAS NO SAND."
SHUT UP. THERE'S NO WAY.
I'M DEAD SERIOUS. SO, EVERY TIME I PITCHED
A STORY ABOUT FOOD DESERTS,
TANNER THOUGHT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, LIKE,
THE SAHARA BEING IN SOUTH CENTRAL.
HA HA! NEPO-BABIES, MAN.
THE RICHER THE PARENT, THE SMOOTHER THE BRAIN.
HA HA! UM, OH, PASTA.
PASTA.
OH, NO, NO. NO. IT NEEDS TO BOIL
UNDISTURBED FOR TWO MINUTES
AND 24 MORE SECONDS.
THAT IS WHAT MAKES MY FETTUCCINE PERFECTION.
OK. WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
[WIND WHISTLING]
WHAT THE...
[DOOR CREAKS]
NOAH: YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED A CANDLELIT DINNER,
YOU JUST HAD TO SAY SO.
[CHUCKLES]
[R&B MUSIC PLAYING]
[WIND BLOWING]
YO, HOW CRAZY ARE THESE SANTA ANA WINDS?
IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE IT'S BEEN THIS BAD, RIGHT?
THE WEATHER? THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT NOW?
I GUESS WHAT I SAID AFTER THE ROAST
REALLY FREAKED YOU OUT, HUH?
NO, NO, I'M NOT FREAKED OUT.
YOUR BODY LANGUAGE IS
SO LOUD RIGHT NOW, SPENCER.
JUST ADMIT IT. I FREAKED YOU OUT.
[MUSIC STOPS]
OK, NOW I'M FREAKED OUT.
OK. I CONCEDE THAT
ROLLING BLACKOUTS ARE BAD LUCK, OK?
BILLY: BUT? NO BUT. LAURA: BUT--
LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING.
MY NEW JOB IS IN THE MIDDLE OF
AN OPEN INVESTIGATION.
I CAN'T KEEP KENNY ON STAFF,
GARRETT IS ON THE RAMPAGE,
AND WORST OF ALL, BECAUSE OF THIS HIRING FREEZE,
I STILL CAN'T TELL SPENCER ABOUT THIS JOB.
YOU COULD'VE TOLD SPENCER THE MINUTE YOU GOT IT.
YOU STILL CAN.
YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO RIP THE BAND-AID OFF.
A WORD OF ADVICE? THE LONGER YOU WAIT TO TELL HIM,
THE MORE BETRAYED HE'S GONNA FEEL.
[SIGHS]
GOD, MY DAD IS PROBABLY FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW.
EITHER THAT OR HE'S PROBABLY SAYING, "I TOLD YOU SO,"
'CAUSE HE HAS, LIKE, THIS WHOLE THEORY
ABOUT THE WINDS BEING CURSED
OR, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW,
MAKING PEOPLE ACT OUT OF CHARACTER.
I MEAN, YOU DID ASK ME ON A DATE.
THAT'S PRETTY UNCHARACTERISTIC.
YEAH. OH! FOUND 'EM.
AND, NO, MY DAD DOESN'T MEAN, LIKE,
UNCHARACTERISTIC IN A GOOD WAY.
HE MEANS PEOPLE ACTING CRAZY, LIKE,
SUPER DEPRESSED
OR KIND OF LIKE SEEING THINGS THAT AREN'T THERE.
REALLY? SEEING WHAT KIND OF THINGS?
HEY, CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
YEAH. ASK AWAY.
I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL NIGHT.
THIS. YOU, ME.
WHEN WE STARTED OUT, YOU PUT
A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON JUST KEEPING IT FUN.
WHAT CHANGED?
I CHANGED.
BECAUSE OF YOU.
BECAUSE YOU'RE WORTH ME CONFRONTING MY FEAR.
IS THE FETTUCCINE THAT BAD?
[CHUCKLES]
IT'S--UH, DELICIOUS. UM...
HOW ABOUT WE SCRAP THE FETTUCCINE
AND JUMP RIGHT TO DESSERT?
MAYBE WE CAN WATCH A MOVIE
ON MY TABLET TOGETHER BEFORE IT DIES.
LIV?
UH, WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A KID?
YOU DON'T, UH, STRIKE ME
AS SOMEBODY WHO HAS A LOT OF FEARS.
I'M GOOD AT THAT.
PRETENDING I'M OK WHEN I'M NOT.
I HAD TO GET GOOD AT IT.
A COUPLE YEARS AGO,
I FELL HARD FOR THE PERFECT GUY.
HE WAS CHARMING AND SWEET,
AND IT TURNS OUT HE WAS ENGAGED.
BY THE END OF IT, ALL THREE OF US GOT HURT.
AND THE FACT THAT I PLAYED A ROLE
IN DESTROYING A SISTER'S RELATIONSHIP,
THAT LEFT A PRETTY BIG EMOTIONAL SCAR.
SPENCER, YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON
THAT'S MADE ME WANT TO DROP
ALL THOSE WALLS AGAIN.
BUT I SAW THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT OLIVIA
THAT NIGHT AT THE ROAST.
IT BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF OLD FEELINGS.
I CAN'T BE THE OTHER WOMAN AGAIN, SPENCER.
YOU'RE NOT THE OTHER WOMAN.
SO, YOU'RE NOT STILL IN LOVE WITH OLIVIA?
IS THERE STILL A CONNECTION THERE? YEAH.
BUT OLIVIA AND I ARE NOT GETTING BACK TOGETHER.
ALL THE REASONS WE BROKE UP ARE STILL THERE.
OK. THAT'S HONEST.
YEAH, BUT... FULL HONESTY?
I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M EXACTLY
WHERE YOU'RE AT, EITHER.
BUT I DO LIKE YOU, ALICIA.
OK? I DO.
I LIKE YOU, TOO.
[EXCITED CHATTER]
BUT YOU'RE NOT READY.
I'M SORRY.
DO YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF ETA ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT?
I DON'T KNOW. A TIMELINE?
'CAUSE HE KEEPS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TRANSFER PORTAL, SO--
SPENCER: WHAT'S UP, J?
OH, MAN. OK.
SPENCER: YOU ALL RIGHT? JORDAN: I'M ALL RIGHT.
WHAT'S WITH THE BAT, MAN?
YOU KNOW. BLACKOUTS.
DEVIL WINDS. IT'S PROTECTION.
YOU BAKERS ARE SPECIAL.
WHO WAS YOU ON THE PHONE TO?
LAYLA.
AND YOU JUST HUNG UP ON HER LIKE THAT?
WE WERE WRAPPING UP THE CALL, SO--
BUT HOW WAS, UH, HOW WAS YOUR DATE?
EVERYTHING GOOD WITH ALICIA?
IT'S COMPLICATED. YOU WERE TALKING TO LAYLA
ABOUT THE TRANSFER PORTAL?
YUP. YEAH. YOU KNOW, SHE ACTUALLY HAS
SOME REALLY INTERESTING OPINIONS
ABOUT THE OLD, UH, TRANSFER PORTAL.
UHH, BUT I AM BEAT, SO...
SPENCER: IT'S 9:30. JORDAN: ALREADY?
9:30? OH, MY. OK, WELL,
I'M GONNA HEAD TO BED, BECAUSE I HAVE
AN EARLY-MORNING WORKOUT TOMORROW,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU TAKE THE NIGHT SHIFT,
AND, UH, KEEP US SAFE.
SEE? I TOLD YOU MY POSTER WAS STILL UP.
YEAH, FOR NOW, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A BRUTAL BUSINESS.
PATIENCE: HMM. YEAH. TELL ME ABOUT IT.
WHAT, YOUR WIN-A-LUNCH WENT THAT BAD?
PATIENCE: NO. LUNCH WAS GREAT. AN EGO BOOST, EVEN.
IT WAS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER
THAT BROUGHT ME CRASHING BACK DOWN TO EARTH, SO...
WE SHOULD GIVE YOU YOUR PRIVACY. COME ON, COOP.
NO. NO. IF WE LEAVE HER ALONE
WITH JUST HER THOUGHTS AND HER IMAGINATION,
IT'S ONLY GONNA GET WORSE.
COOP: YO, WHAT HAPPENED?
UM, SOME GIRLS TOOK CANDID PHOTOS OF ME
AT SLAUSON AND POSTED THEM ON THE INTERNET.
AND THEN THE INTERNET DECIDED TO GO TO TOWN.
TURNS OUT THEY DON'T THINK I'M A FAKE INDUSTRY PLANT.
THEY THINK I'M REAL NOW.
OK, I MEAN, THAT DOESN'T SOUND SO BAD, SO--
NO, NO, REAL UGLY. LOOK AT THE COMMENTS.
"SHE LOOK LIKE SHE ABOUT TO UNHINGE HER JAW
"AND SWALLOW THAT CUP WHOLE.
"NOW I KNOW WHY SHE CALLED HER ALBUM
'WELCOME TO THE VORTEX.'"
OK, I DIDN'T SAY READ THEM OUT LOUD.
UM, AND--NOW-- YEAH, GREAT.
NOW I'M SELF-CONSCIOUS
ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY MOUTH.
YOU HAVE A NORMAL MOUTH.
[SCOFFS]
YOU KNOW, SOMEONE IN MY INSTA COMMENTS SECTION ONCE SAID
MY FRECKLES MADE THEM WANT TO THROW UP.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE FRECKLES.
BUT I WAS DEPRESSED FOR A MONTH.
SO, I'M SPEAKING FROM PAINFUL EXPERIENCE
WHEN I SAY I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
AND IF YOU WANT, I COULD GIVE YOU SOME POINTERS
OVER COFFEE ABOUT HOW TO COPE WITH IT.
YOU KNOW, NAVIGATING SOCIAL MEDIA
IS KIND OF MY SUPERPOWER.
PATIENCE: YES. THANK YOU. THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.
UM, I MEAN, IF IT'S OK WITH YOU, COOP.
YEAH. SURE.
JUST THE PERSON I WAS LOOKING FOR.
THAT'S OMINOUS.
[CHUCKLES] HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING STRANGE
ABOUT THE WAY JORDAN'S BEEN ACTING LATELY?
UH, STRANGE LIKE-- STRANGE HOW?
STRANGE. [KEYS HIT GROUND]
SORRY. [CLEARS THROAT]
SORRY. STRANGE?
YOU KNOW. OUT OF CHARACTER. JUMPY.
JUMPY. JUMPY.
YOU KNOW, UM, I REALLY WOULDN'T KNOW.
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO JORDAN IN A WHILE.
IT'S BEEN LIKE A WEEK, SO...
SPENCER: A WEEK? LAYLA: MM-HMM.
HE JUST TOLD ME Y'ALL WAS TALKING
ON THE PHONE TODAY.
YOU KNOW. ABOUT THE TRANSFER PORTAL.
SPENCER: YOU REMEMBER. LAYLA: OH. YEAH.
SPENCER: THERE IT IS. LAYLA: RIGHT.
YEAH, UM, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT,
WE DID DISCUSS IT, AND, UM, I HAD SOME,
SOME VERY INFORMED, UH, OPINIONS
ABOUT THE, UH...
BOTH: THE TRANSFER PORTAL.
SPENCER: YEAH. LAYLA: YEAH.
THAT'S DOPE. LIKE WHAT?
UM, YOU KNOW, I JUST TOLD HIM--
JUST TOLD HIM NOT TO DO IT.
MM.
YEAH.
ANYWAY, UM, I'M FEELING PRETTY TIRED,
SO, I'LL JUST CATCH YOU LATER.
[BOTH LAUGH]
HEY, HOLD UP. LISTEN.
GREAT, AS IF THIS MOMENT...
COULDN'T POSSIBLY GET MORE AWKWARD.
MY BAD. I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT Y'ALL'S DATE.
UH, NO. WE WERE JUST...
WE WERE JUST WASHING UP.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, SPENCER.
ACTUALLY, IT'S GOOD TO SEE ANYTHING AGAIN.
THAT BLACKOUT WAS CRAZY.
YEAH, IT HIT SLAUSON, TOO.
CAME OUTTA NOWHERE.
LOOKS LIKE CANDLES SAVED EVERYBODY TONIGHT.
IT ADDED TO THE AMBIENCE, RIGHT? NOAH: YEAH. THANKFULLY,
RIGHT. YES. A+ AMBIENCE.
RIGHT. WELL, SORRY AGAIN FOR INTERRUPTING.
LAYLA: UH, SPENCER, WHY DON'T WE, UM,
WHY DON'T WE FINISH OUR CONVERSATION TOMORROW?
SPENCER: YEAH. I'LL CALL YOU. LAYLA: OK. GOOD.
[SPENCER CLEARS THROAT]
[DOOR OPENS]
I'M SORRY WE GOT INTERRUPTED BY...
YOUR EX? IT'S TOTALLY FINE.
HE ACTUALLY SEEMED COOL WITH IT.
UH, YEAH. HE DID.
I HAD A GREAT NIGHT, LIV.
YOU KNOW, THE FETTUCCINE WASN'T SO BAD.
OUCH. 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT A GUY STRIVES TO HEAR
THE FIRST TIME HE COOKS FOR HIS DATE.
NEXT TIME, I'LL USE LESS GARLIC.
DRIVE SAFE.
[SIGHS]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
CLEANING OUT MY LOCKER.
YOU TOLD THE NCAA THE TRUTH.
I TOLD THEM THAT GARRETT WAS
THE ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BOUNTIES.
AND WHEN THEY ASKED HOW I KNEW THAT,
I TOLD 'EM WHAT I DID AT THE BOWL GAME.
LOOK, MAN, HEY... MAYBE YOU SPEAKING UP
CAN COUNT FOR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
YOU A VICTIM IN ALL THIS, TOO.
GOT THE OFFICIAL EMAIL THIS MORNING.
THEY'RE ERASING MY SPOT ON THE TEAM
AND REVOKING MY SCHOLARSHIP.
IT'S DONE, SPENCE.
I'M SORRY, MAN. YOU DON'T DESERVE ANY OF THIS.
I THINK I DID DESERVE IT.
AND, HONESTLY, I FEEL BETTER.
EVERY MORNING SINCE I MADE THAT HIT,
I'VE WOKEN UP WITH THIS HEAVY FEELING IN MY CHEST.
SHAME. DISAPPOINTMENT.
BUT TODAY, I DIDN'T FEEL THAT.
ALL THAT GUILT GARRETT MADE ME CARRY,
THAT'S ON HIM NOW.
I OWNED UP TO WHAT I DID.
I STOPPED LETTING FEAR KEEP ME FROM MOVING FORWARD.
I'M MOVING ON. I'M TURNING A PAGE.
ALICIA: HEY.
HEY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
AFTER OUR LAST CONVERSATION, I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS
ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDED TO BE SAID.
I SAW LIV LAST NIGHT.
NOT ON PURPOSE. I JUST--I RAN INTO HER.
SHE WAS WITH THIS NEW GUY SHE'S BEEN DATING.
THEY SEEM HAPPY.
AND IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE--
DEVASTATED?
NO. HOPEFUL.
THINGS WITH ME AND LIV GOT SO PAINFUL AT THE END.
AND THERE SHE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, LAUGHING.
IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT MAYBE MY FEARS
HAVE BEEN STOPPING ME FROM DOING THE SAME THING.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'M SAYING THAT YOU'RE WORTH ME FACING MY FEARS, ALICIA.
AND THAT IF YOU STILL WANT TO TAKE THINGS
TO THE NEXT LEVEL, I'M IN.
BUT IF I'M TOO LATE,
THEN I'LL KNOW I'M THE ONE WHO MESSED THIS UP.
NO. YOU'RE NOT TOO LATE.
ALICIA: I'M NOT GONNA LIE. SPENCER: I'M NOT?
YOU ALMOST WERE TOO LATE, BUT YES.
I STILL WANT THIS.
ARE YOU SURE, SPENCER?
BECAUSE I NEED YOU TO BE--
[LAUGHTER]
COOP, YOUR GIRL'S A GENIUS.
I'M SORRY. DON'T YOU MEAN
I'M AN INTERNATIONAL ENTER-THE-DOOR?
[PATIENCE AND SKYE LAUGH]
INSIDE JOKES NOW? COOP: Y'ALL GOT
HA HA!
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE
GIVING HER BUSINESS ADVICE.
I DID. QUICK, PATIENCE,
THE 3 LAWS OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
PATIENCE: UH, ONE-- NEVER ENGAGE WITH HATERS,
AND, TWO--ALWAYS KEEP FANS...
AT A ARM'S LENGTH.
BECAUSE?
BECAUSE EVEN THE BEST FAN IS LIKE A PANDA.
[PATIENCE AND SKYE LAUGH]
PATIENCE: CUTE FROM A DISTANCE,
BUT LET IT IN THE HOUSE, THAT THING WILL KILL YOU.
SKYE: MM-HMM. AND 3? PATIENCE: AND 3, 3, 3.
STAY SEXY, BEAUTIFUL. SKYE: YEAH.
PATIENCE: YUP, YUP. COOP: STAY WHAT?
I SHOWED HER HOW TO USE THIS PHOTO EDITING APP
SO SHE COULD HAVE QUALITY CONTROL OVER HER CANDID PICTURES.
AND, YES, STAY SEXY, BEAUTIFUL.
PATIENCE: STAY SEXY. AAH!
THANK YOU. AND, SERIOUSLY, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.
PATIENCE: OK. I'LL SEE YOU. BYE. SKYE: YEAH, OF COURSE.
[SKYE LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
YOU WERE SO RIGHT, COOP.
SHE IS COOL AND AWESOME,
AND SHE OFFERED ME A JOB MANAGING HER SOCIAL MEDIA.
A JOB? LIKE, A LEGIT JOB?
I KNOW, RIGHT? AND IF I IMPRESS PATIENCE,
SHE'LL PUT IN A GOOD WORD WITH LAYLA AND GIA.
AND, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I COULD HELP OUT
HER OTHER FORMONICA ARTISTS.
ALL RIGHT. THIS IS JUST A BIT--
AMAZING. I KNOW. AND LOOK AT THE PLUS SIDE.
YOU IN THE VORTEX ISN'T GONNA BE AN ISSUE ANYMORE
BECAUSE NOW I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.
HMM. DAMN.
SO ISAIAH LOST HIS SCHOLARSHIP AND HIS SPOT ON THE TEAM?
WE KNEW IT WAS A POSSIBILITY.
HE DID SAY BEING HONEST WAS A RELIEF,
THAT IT FELT GOOD GETTING A SECRET OUT
THAT HAD BEEN WEIGHING ON HIM.
GOOD FOR HIM.
THAT'S ALL YOU GOT TO SAY?
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I SAY?
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE A SECRET WEIGHING ON YOU?
COME ON, J. I ALREADY KNOW, MAN.
JORDAN: YOU DO? SPENCER: YEAH.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU BEEN SLICK.
FIRST YOU DECIDE TO STAY AT GAU
FOR NO REASON,
THEN YOU TALKING TO LAYLA ABOUT THE TRANSFER PORTAL,
AND FINALLY, YOU BEEN REAL HAPPY LATELY
DESPITE EVERYTHING GOING ON WITH THE TEAM.
IT'S OBVIOUS, MAN.
LOOK, SPENCE, I--
I REALLY WANTED TO TELL YOU.
THAT YOU DATING LAYLA?
WHAT?
WHAT? YOU--OH, NOW YOU GONNA DENY IT?
WHY ELSE WOULD YOU DECIDE TO STAY, MAN?
SHE'S THE ONE THAT'S BEEN MAKING YOU HAPPY.
YOU JUST DIDN'T WANNA DO THE LONG DISTANCE AGAIN.
UNLESS I'M WRONG AND THERE'S ANOTHER EXPLANATION
FOR WHY YOU BEEN ACTING SO WEIRD LATELY.
OH, NO, NO, NO. THAT IS-- THAT IS--THAT IS IT.
I...I AM DATING LAYLA.
[LAUGHS] I KNEW IT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME, MAN?
I AIN'T IN NO POSITION TO JUDGE NOBODY'S NOTHING.
[SIGHS] WE, UH... WE JUST WANTED TO
KEEP THINGS UNDER WRAPS,
YOU KNOW, TO PROTECT US,
GIVE US TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS
BEFORE WE GET EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED.
AND? Y'ALL FIGURED IT OUT?
SHE'S AMAZING, SPENCE.
THEN I'M LEGIT HAPPY FOR YOU, MAN.
AND DON'T WORRY. YOU GOT MY WORD.
I AIN'T GONNA TELL NOBODY.
YOU SHOULD'VE KNOWN THAT, J.
WE'RE BROTHERS, MAN.
I'D NEVER BETRAY YOUR TRUST.
SPENCER: CONGRATS. JORDAN: HMM.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HEY, YOU, UH, YOU WANTED TO TALK?
DID YOU TELL GARRETT THAT I OFFERED YOU
THE HEAD COACHING SPOT?
UH, WELL, HE GUESSED.
AND WHY DOES THAT MATTER? IT WAS BASICALLY OFFICIAL.
IT MATTERS BECAUSE HE'S A VENGEFUL PIECE OF--
HE IS DETERMINED TO BURN THIS WHOLE THING DOWN
BEFORE HE'LL LET YOU SIT ON HIS THRONE.
GARRETT WALKS INTO THE INTERVIEW,
AND HE TELLS THEM THAT I KNEW ALL ABOUT THE BOUNTIES,
THAT IT WAS MY DESIRE TO WIN BOWL GAMES,
MY AMBITION THAT FORCED HIM INTO IT.
THEN HE ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS THE FACT
THAT I SIGNED THE SCHOLARSHIP CHECKS
IS PROOF THAT I WAS INVOLVED.
[CHUCKLES]
HE'S TRYING TO TEAR DOWN THIS PROGRAM, BILLY.
THE WHOLE THING.
IS HE TRYING TO TEAR THE PROGRAM DOWN,
OR IS HE TRYING TO TEAR YOU DOWN?
I AM THE PROGRAM.
OK, UM...WELL, DID YOU KNOW ABOUT BOUNTY GATE?
[LAUGHS]
YOU'RE SERIOUSLY ASKING ME THAT QUESTION?
THE EASE IN WHICH YOU'RE STANDING THERE
AND YOU'RE QUESTIONING MY CHARACTER, BILLY,
IT'S...IT'S VERY CONCERNING.
BUT IF YOU NEED TO HEAR ME SAY IT, NO.
I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT GARRETT'S BOUNTIES.
WELL, PROVING THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
OK, LISTEN, THIS--THIS WHOLE THING
IS GONNA GET COMPLICATED, RIGHT,
AND IT'S GONNA GET MUCH WORSE
BEFORE IT GETS BETTER, RIGHT,
BUT, BILLY, I NEED TO KNOW THAT
AS MY NEW HEAD COACH, I NEED TO KNOW THAT
YOU'RE STANDING WITH ME.

HI.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I KISSED NOAH AT DAD'S ROAST.
[GASPS] CO-WORKER NOAH?
AND YOU DIDN'T WANT TO KISS HIM?
I DID AT FIRST.
AND I EVEN FELT, LIKE-- LIKE, BUTTERFLIES.
BUT...AND THEN I TOOK HIM
ON THIS WHOLE, LIKE, ROMANTIC DATE, BUT I--
ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS SPENCER.
AWW. SWEETIE.
NO ONE MAKES ME FEEL THE WAY SPENCER DOES.
LOOK, LIV, IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET OVER
SOMEONE THAT YOU FELT A REAL CONNECTION WITH.
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE AND NATURAL,
AND IT JUST TAKES TIME.
I SHOULD'VE FOUGHT HARDER FOR HIM.
HE ENDED THINGS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT
THAT I WAS HAPPIER WITHOUT HIM.
BUT I'M NOT.
BABY, IF YOU LOVE SPENCER
AND YOU WANT HIM BACK...
THEN GO FIGHT FOR HIM NOW.

JORDAN: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SPENCER.
COME IN.
LOOK, I'M GONNA TELL SPENCER ABOUT THIS JOB.
NO, NO, DAD. LISTEN TO ME, OK?
I--HEH. I AM SO EXCITED
THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE THE NEW HEAD COACH, OK?
I CHANGED AROUND ALL OF MY PLANS
BECAUSE I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY FOR YOU AGAIN.
OK.
BUT I WON'T BE A PART OF THE LIES.
OH, HOLD UP. UM, I DID NOT LIE TO SPENCER.
WOW. YOU CAN'T EVEN ADMIT THAT.
I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU SO SCARED OF?
EXCUSE ME. WHAT EXACTLY IS IT
THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED OF?
YOU ARE SCARED THAT IF SPENCER FINDS OUT
THAT YOU TOOK THE HEAD COACH JOB,
HE'S GONNA FEEL LIKE YOU BETRAYED COACH KENNY,
LIKE YOU BETRAYED HIM.
HUH. YOUR MOTHER SAID THE SAME THING.
DAD, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE
THAT THE ONE THING SPENCER VALUES
MORE THAN ANYTHING IS HONESTY.
I CAN'T LIE TO HIS FACE ANYMORE, OK?
HE DESERVES BETTER FROM THE BOTH OF US.
SO, EITHER YOU TELL HIM ABOUT THE JOB TOMORROW, OR I WILL.
[DOOR CLOSES]
DID WE HAVE A MEETING? MR. JAMES.
NO, SIR. I TALKED TO ISAIAH WINFIELD.
AND, LOOK, I DON'T MEAN TO OVERSTEP,
BUT NOW THE NCAA KNOWS COACH GARRETT
IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BOUNTY GATE.
COACH KENNY HAS BEEN CLEARED.
YES. YES, HE IS. OF COURSE. WELL,
OUR OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT, AS SOON AS WE MAKE
TO KEEP KENNY ON THE STAFF. BILLY WILL BE ALLOWED
EVEN MENTIONED ELEVATING HIM YOU KNOW, I THINK HE
COORDINATOR POSITION, TO THE OFFENSIVE
WHICH IS BIG.
WHY IS IT UP TO COACH BAKER?
I MEAN, I KNOW HE WAS PUSHING FOR COACH KENNY,
BUT SHOULDN'T YOU BE MAKING THE FINAL DECISION?
OH. THAT'S MY BAD. SEE, I THOUGHT--
I THOUGHT BILLY WOULD'VE TOLD YOU BY NOW.
TOLD ME WHAT?
WELL, AS OF YESTERDAY, BILLY BAKER OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED MY OFFER TO BE
THE NEW HEAD COACH OF GOLDEN ANGELES UNIVERSITY.
OH, YEAH, WE STILL HAVE A FEW LOOSE ENDS TO TIE UP,
BUT I CAN TELL YOU I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE HERE
WHEN I SAY WE'RE REALLY EXCITED
TO HAVE YOU BOTH REUNITED ON THE CONDORS.
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD.
