SPENCER: PREVIOUSLY ON "ALL AMERICAN"...
KENNY: IT'S BEEN A FEW DAYS SINCE THE "L.A. TRIBUNE ONLINE" DROPPED AN ARTICLE
ABOUT OUR SCHOOL'S BOUNTYGATE SCANDAL.
REPORTER #2: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF GAU's PROGRAM?
KENNY: FROM WHAT I'M HEARING, ONE-YEAR BOWL BAN.
WHICH MEANS YOU AND ME GONNA HAVE TO REBUILD THIS THING
FROM SCRATCH. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
WE'RE NOT FOLLOWING GARRETT'S LEGACY.
WE ARE BUILDING OUR OWN WITH A COACH THAT WE'VE CHOSEN.
ASHER: JAYMEE, YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON
THAT I WANT IT TO BE COMPLICATED WITH.
JAYMEE: I'M PREGNANT. PATIENCE: YOU'RE MIKO, RIGHT?
LAYLA: THERE'S SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH MIKO.
YOU HAVE TO STAY AWAY FROM HER.
YOU KNOW I'M YOUR NUMBER-ONE FAN.
LAYLA: MIKO IS THE KIND OF PERSON
YOU CUT OFF FOR GOOD.
THAT WAS A REP FROM THE CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM.
I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED.
IT'S A 3-MONTH INTERNSHIP,
AND IT'S IN LONDON. JORDAN: YOU NEED TO TELL
THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE HOW YOU FEEL BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
OLIVIA!
-I LOVE YOU. -I LOVE YOU.
-3 MONTHS. -3 MONTHS.
CHORUS: ♪ OH, OH, OH, OOH EE ♪
WOMAN: A 7-6 RECORD THIS PAST SEASON
FOR THE CONDORS, WITH A HELL OF A RUN ON THE BACK HALF
OF THE SEASON THAT MADE EVERYONE ELSE LOOK LIKE TRASH,
AND THE NAME ON THE TIP OF EVERYONE'S TONGUE--
SPENCER ALONSO JAMES.
FINISHED SOPHOMORE SEASON WITH 96 CATCHES
FOR 1,379 YARDS, 16 TOUCHDOWNS.
THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT THE CONDORS OUT OF THE BOWL WAS
THE TEAM'S ONE-YEAR BAN, A TOUGH PRICE TO PAY
FOR THEIR PREVIOUS COACH'S SCANDAL.
BUT THE PAST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TODAY
AND THIS NEW, UNCONVENTIONAL GAU TEAM.
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE CHATTER THAT YOU
AND THE GAU CONDORS ARE THE TEAM THAT HAS EVERYONE NERVOUS
THIS COMING SEASON?
WELL?
UH, WHAT DO I SAY? I SAY CHATTER AWAY.
WE WORKED HARD AND WE READY.
SPENCER, ONLY 4 WIDE RECEIVERS HAVE EVER WON THE HEISMAN,
AND NOW, AS A JUNIOR, YOUR NAME IS BEING THROWN AROUND.
BETWEEN THAT AND ALL THE TALK ABOUT YOU BEING
DRAFT-ELIGIBLE THIS YEAR, HOW DOES THE HYPE FEEL?
UH, I'M NOT REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO ALL THAT.
I'M JUST FOCUSED ON THIS UPCOMING SEASON AND EXCITED TO COMPETE AGAIN.
COACH KENNY, IS THIS JUST A ONE-YEAR WINNING TEAM?
WHAT HAPPENS IF AND WHEN YOUR STAR WIDE RECEIVER ENTERS THE DRAFT THIS YEAR?
WE'RE EXCITED FOR WHAT'S AHEAD, BUT THIS,
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING AT GAU, IS A PROGRAM THAT'S HERE TO STAY.
SPENCER: YEAH, AND AT THE HEART OF THAT
ARE FOUNDATIONAL PLAYERS LIKE OUR QB, JORDAN BAKER.
YO, J! J! COME HERE.
Y'ALL SHOULD TALK TO HIM. RENATA: THANKS, BUT I THINK
WE GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH TODAY. KENNY: SURE.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME, COACH.
KENNY: COURSE, COURSE.
AND, JORDAN, I LOOK FORWARD TO CHATTING WITH YOU MORE NEXT TIME.
YEAH.
OR AT ALL.
[SIGHS]
ASHER, FRENCH ACCENT: VOILA.
BANANA A LA ADAMS.
[NORMAL VOICE] ADMIT IT, BUDDY, MY BREAKFAST
IS WAY BETTER THAN MOMMY'S, HUH? JAYMEE: I HEARD THAT.
HAVE YOU SEEN MY OTHER SHOE OR MY BAG?
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ORGANIZE MY NEW BOSS' DESK
IF I CAN'T EVEN ORGANIZE MY LIFE? HI, BABY.
ASHER: WOW, YOU LOOK, UH--
IF YOU SAY CORPORATE OR BORING OR, LIKE,
I'M A FREAKING HUNDRED YEARS OLD, YOU'D BE CORRECT.
I WAS GONNA SAY BEAUTIFUL, BUT NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, THAT OUTFIT IS, UH--
-STOP! -BABY. HEH! I'M SORRY.
I'M KIDDING, I'M KIDDING.
I KNOW IT'S YOUR FIRST DAY ON THIS NEW JOB, BUT YOU GOT THIS.
BUT AJ's JUST USED TO ME DROPPING HIM OFF AT DAYCARE,
AND NOW I'M ABANDONING HIM AND MY CREATIVE SOUL
FOR SOME CORPORATE DESK.
THERE IS NO ABANDONMENT OF SOULS
OR BABIES. I'VE GOT AJ HANDLED,
AND BREAKFAST IS GOING GREAT. DROP-OFF WILL GO GREAT. EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE--
[CHUCKLING] GREAT.
PLAYER 1: EVERY DAY. PLAYER 2: I'LL LET YOU GO.
SPENCER: GOOD WORK. KENNY: SPENCER.
HEH! YOU KNOW, THE WAY EVERYONE'S BEEN ACTING, YOU'D THINK
THAT SPENCER SPENT ALL LAST SEASON THROWING PASSES TO HIMSELF.
THOUGHT YOU'D BE USED TO IT BY NOW, HOMES.
TO THE WORLD, HE'S MJ AND WE'RE THE JACKSON 5.
YOU'RE TITO. [CHUCKLING]
THAT'S NOT FUNNY.
YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT WAS YOU
AT YOUR BEST TODAY? SPENCER: MY BAD.
LOOK, HAVING MEDIA OUT THERE DURING PRACTICE IS A LOT, MAN.
YOU SURE THAT'S IT?
YOUR DISTRACTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A CERTAIN GIRLFRIEND
RETURNING FROM LONDON? SPENCER: AH. HEH!
-WHAT'S IT BEEN? -A YEAR AND 3 MONTHS, WHICH IS
WHY I'M THROWING HER AN EPIC WELCOME-HOME PARTY.
HEH HEH! A'IGHT. LOOK, AS YOUR UNC,
I'M HAPPY FOR YOU, MAN. I KNOW YOU MISSED OLIVIA.
BUT AS MY COACH?
I'M HOPING YOUR DISTRACTION TODAY ISN'T A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME.
YOU CHANGED THIS LAST YEAR, SPENCER, FOR THE BETTER.
YOU MATURED ON AND OFF THE FIELD.
NO DISTRACTIONS OR DRAMA. I'D HATE TO SEE YOU REGRESS.
I WON'T.
THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON THIS YEAR,
NOT JUST FOR THE TEAM, BUT FOR YOUR CAREER.
I UNDERSTAND, AND I'M LOCKED IN, COACH, I AM.
FOOTBALL IS THE PRIORITY.
GIVING HER THE PERFECT WELCOME HOME IS THE PRIORITY.
HEY, HEY. I NEED YOU TO FOCUS, OK?
I KNOW YOU AIN'T TALKIN' TO ME IN THAT TONE OF VOICE.
LAYLA: STRESSED MUCH, SPENCER? SPENCER: NOBODY STRESSED.
I JUST WANT EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT, AND I WON'T RELAX UNTIL IT IS.
PATIENCE: WHERE DO YOU WANT ALL THESE, BRIDEZILLA?
SPENCER: JUST SPLIT 'EM UP BETWEEN THE VASES.
SPREAD 'EM OUT--EVENLY, THOUGH!
PLEASE. PATIENCE: YEAH.
COOP: I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE DOING THE WELCOME PARTY
WITH ALL OF US HERE ANYWAY.
YOU AIN'T SEEN YOUR GIRL IN A YEAR.
WOULDN'T THE PERFECT REUNION BE A MORE PRIVATE ONE?
-CAN YOU MIND YOUR BUSINESS? -HAPPILY!
BUT YOU ROPED ALL OF US HERE TO HELP YOU.
PATIENCE: SPENCER, AREN'T THESE FLOWERS GONNA DIE BEFORE SHE GETS BACK SATURDAY MORNING?
LAYLA: OH, DIDN'T THINK THAT ONE THROUGH, HUH?
SPENCER: OH, MY BAD.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS
AT YOUR LOUNGE OPENING TOMORROW NIGHT, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE CAN SKIP THAT AND SPEND TOMORROW NIGHT SETTING UP FOR LIV'S PARTY.
JUST KIDDING. JUST KIDDING. YOU KNOW, I THINK SETTING UP TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE IS GREAT.
GUYS, I AM ACTUALLY OPENING A LOUNGE.
LIKE, IT'S FINALLY REAL. IT'S SO CRAZY!
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE SLAUSON CAFE IS GONE.
HEY, IT'S NOT GONE, OK? IT'S JUST REIMAGINED.
OK, FINE, BUT AT LEAST IT'S IN THE FAMILY NOW,
'CAUSE THE OTHER BUYER WAS GONNA TURN IT INTO A HOT YOGA SPOT.
PATIENCE: OK, WELL, WHATEVER, AS LONG AS Y'ALL DON'T MISS
MY BIG COMEBACK ON LAYLA'S STAGE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S MY FIRST, UM,
PUBLIC PERFORMANCE SINCE...
OK, WELL, MY FIRST BIG RE-ENTRY TO THE MUSIC SCENE.
NO, WE WOULDN'T MISS IT. WE'RE PROUD OF YOU. BOTH OF YOU.
PATIENCE: THANK YOU. LAYLA: THANKS.
OH. HOLD UP.
WOMAN ON TV: NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. THIS IS A CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY MESS-UP BY THE LAPD
AND A SHOCKING BLOW TO THE D.A.'s CASE.
UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL HANDLED THE FOOTAGE.
OK, SO THE ORIGINAL DOORBELL-CAMERA FOOTAGE
THAT PLACED MIKO SCOTT AT THE SCENE
OF PATIENCE ROBINSON'S STABBING HAS BEEN THROWN OUT.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE CASE?
LEGAL ANALYST: REMEMBER, MIKO SCOTT HAS BEEN IN JAIL,
AWAITING TRIAL THIS WHOLE TIME.
BAIL WAS INITIALLY DENIED,
BUT NOW THAT HER DEFENSE HAS GOT THE FOOTAGE THROWN OUT,
FIRST THING I WOULD DO IF I WERE HER LAWYER...
THEY GON' LET THIS BITCH OUT.
IS FILE FOR ANOTHER BAIL HEARING.
JOURNALIST: ANY POSSIBILITY THEY THROW THE WHOLE CASE OUT NOW?
NO. THERE'S STILL A CASE. THEY HAVE
THE EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY OF PATIENCE HERSELF,
BUT EFFECTIVELY, THIS JUST BECAME A SHE SAID, SHE SAID CASE,
SO EXPECT THE DEFENSE TO FOCUS
ON A CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF PATIENCE.
THAT MIGHT BE ALL IT TAKES TO CREATE REASONABLE DOUBT AND HAVE MIKO ACQUITTED.

COOP: UH, DID YOU SEE THE NEWS ABOUT MIKO? [LAURA SIGHS]
YES, I DID, AND I ALREADY PUT A CALL IN

I GOTTA GET READY FOR MY LECTURE.
I'LL SEE YOU ON CAMPUS, COOP.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GONNA SEE MY BABY AGAIN. I CAN'T WAIT TO HUG HER.
SPENCER: DO YOU WANT TO PICK HER UP FROM THE AIRPORT YOURSELF ON SATURDAY?
OH, YOU'RE SWEET, SPENCER, BUT I GOT TO SEE HER FOR EASTER.
YOU TWO HAVE YOUR MOMENT.
OR YOU COULD COME WITH ME.
YEAH, OLIVIA WOULD LOVE ME INTRUDING
ON HER ROMANTIC REUNION. I'LL WAIT.
BUT THANK YOU.
[FOOTSTEPS ASCEND STAIRS]
SPENCER: WHAT? COOP: YOU TELL ME.
I MEAN, FIRST THE GROUP PARTY, NOW YOU'RE TRYING
TO CONVINCE HER MOMS TO COME WITH YOU TO THE AIRPORT?
WHY ARE YOU TRYING SO HARD TO NOT BE ALONE WITH LIV?
WHATEVER. I JUST KNOW I AIN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO LOST A YEAR WITH HER.
AND FOR SOMEONE WHO IS MAJORING IN PSYCHOLOGY,
YOU HAVING A PROBLEM READING YOURSELF.
OK, FREUD, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHY ARE YOU AVOIDING TELLING PATIENCE YOU WANT HER BACK?
WHEN WOULD I HAVE HAD TIME TO DO THAT, SPENCE?
WHEN I FOUND HER BLEEDING OUT ON THE FLOOR?
OR ON THE WAY IN THE AMBULANCE, OR--NO--
DURING THE 6 MONTHS SHE SPENT IN NEW YORK REHABBING?
-HOW 'BOUT NOW? -HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE NEWS?
I MEAN, PATIENCE IS STILL GOING THROUGH A LOT.
SHE DOES NOT NEED THE BURDEN OF MY FEELINGS.
I THINK YOU SHORTCHANGING YOU AND HER.
THE SAME WAY YOU SHORTCHANGING LIV?
AT LEAST I KNOW WHY I'M DOING IT.
DO YOU?

HEH! YEAH. IT'S GREAT.
JUST "GREAT"? ADAMS, WE'RE REIGNING CHAMPIONS.
NO, IT'S--IT'S AMAZING. I'M JUST SURPRISED.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET A RING.
I'M A STUDENT COACH. COACH MR. MONTES: NO.
YOU'RE MUCH MORE THAN THAT, WHICH IS WHY
I'M BUMPING YOUR TITLE TO OFFENSIVE ASSISTANT.
-[CHUCKLES] -LOOK, I GET IT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DREAMT OF THIS MOMENT, YOU SAW YOURSELF RECEIVING
YOUR RING AS A PLAYER, NOT A COACH.
-EITHER WAY, I'M GRATEFUL. -GOOD.
-BEEN A HELL OF A YEAR, HUH? -ONE HELL OF A YEAR, PAPA ADAMS.
-HEH HEH! -I GOT TO SAY, YOU KNOW,

NO. NO, NO, NO. I'M GOOD.

LAYLA: AND, YOU KNOW, WE GET THAT IT'S A LOT,
SO IT IS TOTALLY OK IF YOU'RE NOT OK.
OH, MY GOD! Y'ALL ARE WORSE THAN PARENTS.
I AM FINE, BEYOND FINE. HAPPY?
GOD. RYAN, CAN YOU HELP ME OUT HERE A LITTLE BIT?
RYAN: SHE'S FINE. PATIENCE: THANKS.
COOP: LOOK, YOU COULD TELL US THE TRUTH.
PATIENCE: THE TRUTH IS I'M SURE I'M OK,
AND I'M DAMN SURE I WANT YOU BOTH TO STOP ASKING ABOUT IT.
RYAN: OK, UH, LOOK, WHY DON'T WE TAKE A 5-MINUTE BREAK, HUH?
PATIENCE: NO, NO! I NEED A SOUND CHECK.
LOOK, AM I PISSED OUR SECURITY-CAMERA FOOTAGE GOT THROWN OUT? YES.
BUT I AM ALIVE TO TELL WHAT THAT BITCH DID TO ME, AND BEST BELIEVE I WILL.
JUST HATE THAT HER LAWYERS ARE ALREADY ON THE ATTACK.
I AM NOT DELUDED. I KNOW THE TRIAL WON'T BE EASY,
BUT I DID NOT SPEND THE LAST YEAR REHABBING, BOTH MENTALLY
AND PHYSICALLY, JUST TO CRUMBLE WHEN IT MATTERS THE MOST.
MIKO WILL GO TO PRISON, SO CAN WE JUST WRAP THIS UP

FEELING ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
FEVER'S GONE. GOOD AS NEW.
HEY, WHERE'D YOU DISAPPEAR TO AFTER PRACTICE YESTERDAY?
NOWHERE. JUST HAD TO TAKE CARE OF SOME STUFF AT THE REGISTRAR'S. THAT'S IT.
OK. YOU WANT TO ROLL TOGETHER TO THIS MEETING WITH COACH?
CAN'T. GOTTA GO, UH, MEET UP WITH LAYLA, TALK WEDDING STUFF, SO...
Y'ALL'S WEDDING'S TWO YEARS OUT. YOU GOTTA TALK THAT TODAY?

HEY. SPENCER: HEY.
THANKS FOR HANGING WITH LIL MAN WHILE I FINISHED GETTING READY.
OH, YEAH, NO WORRIES, MAN. THAT'S MY DUDE. JAYMEE STILL ASLEEP?
ASHER: YEAH. JAYMEE: NO.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE
TO COVER MY BOSS'S DESK TODAY SO I CAN STAY HOME
'CAUSE AJ CAN'T GO BACK TO DAYCARE FOR ANOTHER 24 HOURS.
DIDN'T YOU START THAT JOB YESTERDAY?
SHE DID, EXACTLY, WHICH IS WHY, BABE, YOU SHOULD GO TO WORK. WE GOT AJ.
SPENCER: UH, ACTUALLY, I GOT A EARLY MEETING
WITH COACH AND THEN PRACTICE, SO, SORRY.
IT'S FINE. I'LL CALL IN SICK TODAY.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR ADVANCED BIO PLACEMENT TEST LATER? YEAH.
ASHER: MY DAD. HE'S ALWAYS ITCHING

DR. GUTENBERG IS FINE. MY BOYS,
YOU HAVE MADE A FOOTBALL FAN OUT OF ME THIS YEAR.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE BOOSTERS ARE HAPPY.
JORDAN: WHICH MAKES YOU HAPPY. DR. GUTENBERG: EXACTLY.
AND, COACH, IF YOU HAVE A SECOND,
THOSE BOOSTERS HAVE SOME THOUGHTS.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE PRACTICE
WITH MY GUYS, BUT I'LL CIRCLE BACK AROUND LATER IF THERE'S TIME.
NOT A PROBLEM.
WHENEVER YOU'RE FREE.
YOU KNOW, THE BOOSTERS WOULD ENJOY SOME QUALITY TIME WITH YOU, TOO, SPENCER.
THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON YOU THIS SEASON.
WE NEED TO GET THAT CHIP, SO WE CAN CLEAR GARRETT'S LEGACY ONCE AND FOR ALL,
SO, WHATEVER YOU NEED TO CLEAR DISTRACTIONS
SO THAT YOU CAN JUST FOCUS ON FOOTBALL,
YOU LET ME KNOW. SPENCER: YES, SIR.
JORDAN: LOOK, SPENCE, CONTRARY TO WHAT THE MEDIA
AND THE BOOSTERS ARE SAYING, THIS IS NOT ALL ON YOUR HEAD, OK?
THE WHOLE TEAM IS GONNA LEAD US TO THE CHIP.
IT AIN'T THAT. AT LEAST IT AIN'T JUST THAT.
ARE YOU NERVOUS ABOUT LIV COMING BACK?
OH, YOU TRYING TO TALK NOW? 'CAUSE THIS MORNING, YOU AIN'T HAD NOTHING TO SAY.
OK, OK, LOOK, I WAS BEING STUPID ABOUT SOMETHING
I DON'T EVEN THINK MATTERS ANYMORE,
BUT I'M HERE IF YOU WANT TO CHOP IT UP,
OR NOT. UP TO YOU. [SPENCER SIGHS]
I'M HAPPY LIV'S FINALLY COMING HOME. I AM.
I DIDN'T SAY YOU WEREN'T HAPPY.
I SAID YOU WERE NERVOUS. SPENCER: I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS.
YOU KNOW, THIS LAST YEAR IS THE MOST RELAXED I'VE BEEN?
WITH THE BOWL BAN, THERE WAS NO EXPECTATIONS
FOR A CHIP, AND WITH LIV BACK IN LONDON--
THERE WAS NO EXPECTATIONS FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
WE AIN'T EVEN PLAYED OUR FIRST GAME YET.
LIV'S NOT EVEN HOME YET, AND I'M ALREADY BACK TO STRESSING.
AND BROODING AND SULKING.
YEAH, OK, OK. CHILL.
WE GOT BACK TOGETHER A YEAR AND 3 MONTHS AGO.
I'VE SEEN HER ONE TIME FOR 3 DAYS.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WAS GONNA BE DIFFERENT
ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP THIS SECOND TIME AROUND.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DIFFERENT?
WHAT CAN YOU HANDLE?
SPENCE, THE FOOTBALL PRESSURE IS WHAT IT IS, OK?
THIS IS A CRITICAL YEAR, BUT FOR THE LIV PART,
I SUGGEST THAT YOU FIGURE OUT THOSE ANSWERS BEFORE SHE GETS HOME TOMORROW.
THE REST WILL FALL INTO PLACE.
COACH MR. MONTES: BEING THE REIGNING CHAMPIONS
ISN'T GONNA MEAN ANYTHING TO US AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON.
WELL, LOSING JJ TO TIBET OR WHEREVER IS A BIG BLOW.

[AJ CRYING] COACH MR. MONTES: ASHER.
YOU PAYING ATTENTION? ASHER: YES, SIR, GAU IS
ADDED COMPETITION THIS SEASON. COACH MR. MONTES: YEAH.
LOOK, I'M SORRY, GUYS. I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS THE MEETING.
RELAX, SON. WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.
FIRST TIME MY WIFE LEFT ME ALONE WITH OUR OLDEST SON,
I FOUND A POOP-COVERED CHICKEN DRUMETTE IN HIS TOY BIN. HEH!
APPARENTLY, HE HAD BEEN USING IT TO SCRATCH HIS ITCHY BUTT.

ASHER: WHOA, EXPLOSIVE POOP? COACH MR. MONTES: ALL RIGHT!
THAT'S ENOUGH. UNLESS ALL YOUR KIDS ARE THE ANSWER
TO OUR OFFENSIVE NEEDS, CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO OUR--
WHAT IS THAT HORRIFIC SMELL?
IT'S NOT ME.
OH. RIGHT. UM--
WE SPOKE IT INTO EXISTENCE. HA HA HA!
[COACHES RED AND TREY LAUGHING]
RYAN: YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHY I SUDDENLY HAVE NEW INVOICES
FOR EXTRA SECURITY GUARDS FOR TONIGHT?
LAYLA: UH, BECAUSE I ORDERED MORE.
AND DID YOU ALSO ORDER
3 ADDITIONAL, VERY EXPENSIVE CAMERAS?
RYAN, WE ARE PARTNERS, OK? EQUAL PARTNERS.
THAT MEANS I DON'T ANSWER TO YOU.
I GET TO KNOW HOW AND WHY WE'RE SPENDING MY MONEY.
I WAS WONDERING HOW LONG IT'D TAKE YOU TO THROW THAT WEIGHT AROUND.
COME ON. THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.
I KNOW THIS AREA BETTER THAN YOU, OK?
SO IF I WANT EXTRA SECURITY, THAT'S MY PREROGATIVE.
FEEL FREE TO PULL YOUR MONEY AT ANY TIME.
UH, WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?
I WAS HOPING YOU COULD TELL ME. SOMETHING'S GOING ON
WITH YOUR FIANCEE BEYOND JUST STRESSING ABOUT THE OPENING.

BUT I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH PATIENCE.

YEAH, YOUR MOM'S CHANGED THE LOCKS A COUPLE TIMES

YEAH. HOW'S PATIENCE DOING?

YEAH.
BUT SHE'S GONNA BE SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU.
YOU'RE A DAY EARLY! OLIVIA: WELL, YEAH.
I MEAN, THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GONNA MISS YOUR BIG NIGHT,
YOU KNOW, AND PLUS, I WANTED TO SURPRISE SPENCER.
WELL, WILL IT HELP IF I SAY THAT HE'S NERVOUS, TOO?
NERVES? [CHUCKLES]
WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT NERVES?
OK, YOU MAY LOOK DIFFERENT, LIV, BUT I STILL KNOW MY BEST FRIEND.
-I MEAN, A YEAR IS A LONG TIME. -YEAH,
BUT, LIKE, YOU GUYS STAYED IN TOUCH.
YOU HAD YOUR OLD-SCHOOL LOVE LETTERS.
YEAH, I DUNNO, BUT THEN, YOU KNOW,
WE GOT BUSY, AND SUDDENLY,
THERE WERE... NO VISITS,
LESS CALLS, LESS FACETIMES.
I DUNNO.
I'M NOT THE SAME OLIVIA WHO LEFT HERE.
YOU KNOW, WHAT IF THINGS WITH SPENCER
FEEL DIFFERENT? [FRONT DOOR OPENS]
HEY, BABY GIRL, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU--
[DOOR CLOSES] WHAT?
[OLIVIA LAUGHS] JORDAN: WHAT? OH!
HA HA HA! DAMN!
I MISSED YOUR UGLY FACE!
YEAH, I MISSED YOURS MORE.
LAYLA: UH, I HAVE TO GET TO THE LOUNGE AND MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING'S PERFECT FOR PATIENCE, SO--
JORDAN: WHAT? RIGHT NOW? LAYLA: YEAH.
UM, YOU TWO SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME TO CATCH UP.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE, OK? OH, I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK.
OLIVIA: I LOVE YOU. LAYLA: OH, SEE YA.
JORDAN: BABY-- LAYLA: SORRY.
OLIVIA: TIBET? YOU'RE KIDDING! JORDAN: DEAD SERIOUS.
JJ IS LIVING HIS BEST LIFE ON THIS SOUL-SEARCHING MISSION.
WE'RE ALL TAKING BETS TO SEE HOW LONG BEFORE HE OFFICIALLY BECOMES A MONK.
[SCOFFS] NEVER. HE'S NOT SHAVING THAT HAIR.
OH, OH, AND I HAVE OFFICIALLY BECOME THE FUNCLE, OK?
AJ AND I HAVE THIS ONGOING COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN BURP
THE LOUDEST? THE KID IS A BADASS.
OLIVIA: JAYMEE MUST BE THRILLED WITH YOU.
RIGHT--OH, WOW!
THAT'S QUITE A DRESS. VERY BRITISH.
IT'S JUST A DRESS, JORDAN. IT DOESN'T HAVE A NATIONALITY.
OK, IF YOU SAY SO. I MEAN, THAT DRESS
IS ALL BUT SPEAKING WITH AN ACCENT.
[BRITISH ACCENT] ELLO, GOVNAH! MORE TEA FOR YOU?
[NORMAL VOICE] YEAH. HEH HEH!
WELL, YOU SEEM REALLY HAPPY.
I AM. I MEAN,
GAU FOOTBALL IS BACK ON THE MAP,
I AM--I'M MARRYING THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN WHEN I GRADUATE,
AND OVER THE LAST YEAR, I THINK I'VE FINALLY GOTTEN TO A PLACE
WHERE I CAN THINK ABOUT DAD AND NOT FEEL MY GUT PLUNGE.
THE ONLY THING MISSING WAS MY TWIN, AND NOW,
YOU ARE HOME, SO, YEAH, I'M HAPPY.
YEAH, WELL--AHEM--
HAPPY WORKS FOR YOU.
I GOT TO ADMIT, THOUGH, FOR JUST A SECOND THERE, I KINDA FORGOT
HOW GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING IN MY LIFE.
I GOT A LITTLE JEALOUS OF THE ATTENTION THAT SPENCER'S BEEN GETTING.
I KNOW, BUT--[SIGHS]-- AFTER SEEING THE TOLL IT'S BEEN TAKING ON SPENCER,
I REALIZED I DON'T WANT THAT INCREASED PRESSURE.
RIGHT NOW, I JUST GET TO PLAY THE GAME I LOVE
WITH A TEAM THAT I LOVE AND, HOPEFULLY,
LEAD THEM TO A CHIP, AND THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME.
-OH. -WHAT?
JUST DID YOU GET SMART WHILE I WAS GONE OR--
HA HA. HA HA HA HA! YOU DEFINITELY DIDN'T
GET FUNNIER WHILE YOU WERE GONE. OLIVIA: EH.
OOH, DOES SPENCER KNOW YOU'RE HERE YET?
I'M GONNA...SURPRISE HIM AT THE CLUB.
OH!
COACH MR. MONTES: ADAMS!
COACH...I KNOW THAT I TOTALLY BLEW IT
EARLIER TODAY, BUT I PROMISE YOU THAT I AM NOT MAKING A HABIT OUT OF THIS.
I JUST HAVE TO FIND PROFESSOR HAMPTON AND BOW OUT
OF MY PLACEMENT TEST, AJ AND I ARE OUTTA HERE.
BUT DON'T YOU NEED THAT PLACEMENT TEST
TO GET INTO ADVANCED BIO? ASHER: WELL, I--I MEAN,
I DO, BUT, YOU KNOW, MY DAD GOT STUCK AT WORK,
AND I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO WATCH AJ, SO,
YOU KNOW, IT'S FINE. SACRIFICE--IT'S WHAT
PARENTHOOD IS ABOUT, RIGHT? COACH MR. MONTES: GIMME.
GIVE ME THE BABY AND THE CARRIER.
-SIR, I DON'T--I-- -GO TAKE YOUR TEST, ADAMS.
I'M COMPLETELY CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR BABY
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. NEED I REMIND YOU
I RAISED A DAUGHTER OF MY OWN, ONE I BELIEVE
YOU DATED WHEN YOU WERE BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL?
YOU KNOW, ALL THIS TIME, I WAS HOPING
THAT YOU HADN'T MADE THAT CONNECTION.
GIVE ME THE BABY BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND.
AW, SEE MR. MONTES?
HERE YOU GO.
COME ON, SWEETIE.
-[KISS] -HOLA, MIJITO.
OH, MY GOODNESS. YOU ARE SO HANDSOME.
[COOING]
I KNOW. THAT'S WHAT I THINK.
YOU LIKE MATCHA? YOU A MATCHA MAN? JUST LIKE YOUR PAPI?

RIGHT NOW, I HATE HIM. ASK ME AGAIN TOMORROW.
WHY? IS THERE SOME KINDA PROBLEM?
AH, WELL, HE SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH LAYLA,

OR FOR PATIENCE 'CAUSE OF MIKO. SPENCER: AND WHAT'D LAYLA SAY?
WELL, I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO ASK.
AND IF RYAN IS WRONG, I DIDN'T WANT TO--
DIDN'T WANT TO BLOW UP HER NIGHT FOR NOTHING.

ASHER: YO. GUYS, WHAT'S GOING ON? DID I MISS PATIENCE?
SHE COULDN'T DO IT. SHE FREAKED IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND BAILED.
AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS OFF. I KNEW IT.
SPENCER: WHY ARE YOU OUT HERE AND NOT CHECKING ON HER?
BECAUSE LAYLA AND LIV GOT IT.
BRO, YOU SEEN HER FACE ON THAT STAGE.
SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE CROWDED RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE SCREWED. WE HAVE ABOUT TWO MINUTES

CLEARLY, MY MIND IS JUST-- MY MIND IS JUST MESSING WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
IT'S OK. YOUR FANS LOVE YOU AND THEY'LL UNDERSTAND.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WAS OK! WHATEVER.
I--THIS WAS STUPID THAT I'D THINK I COULD EVEN DO THIS.
NO. HEY, YOU ARE NOT STUPID.
YOU'RE JUST-- YOU WEREN'T READY, AND I'M SO SORRY
I RUSHED YOU BACK INTO PERFORMING.
CAN I--CAN I HELP? I'LL--I'LL TAKE YOU HOME.
NO, JUST--JUST STAY. UM...
CAN YOU TAKE ME HOME? OLIVIA: YEAH. OF COURSE.
PATIENCE: THANKS.
[DISTANT CROWD CHEERING AND WHISTLING]
HEY...YOU OK?
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
COME ON. THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN--
NO, PATIENCE'S STABBING
AND EVERYTHING SHE'S GOING THROUGH--I...
I REALIZED WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO THE NEWS YESTERDAY
THAT--[SNIFFLES]-- I DID THIS.
I PUSHED PATIENCE TO THIS, LIKE,
NEW, STUPID VERSION OF HERSELF
THAT MIKO BECAME OBSESSED WITH, AND THEN--
AND THEN I SERVED MIKO WITH A RESTRAINING ORDER,
EVEN AFTER PATIENCE ASKED ME TO--TO TAKE IT EASY ON HER,
SO I PUSHED HER OVER THE EDGE.
NO, NO, MIKO WAS ALREADY OVER THE EDGE.
AND THAT'S WHY I-- I JUST--I NEEDED TO MAKE TONIGHT PERFECT
BECAUSE--[CRYING]-- THAT'S, LIKE, THE LEAST THAT I OWED PATIENCE.
-LAYLA, THIS-- -NO.
LISTEN TO ME. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
NO, AND PATIENCE BLAMES ME, TOO. I KNOW SHE DOES.
NO, THERE IS NO WAY SHE BLAMES YOU.
REALLY? SO WHY DID SHE DISAPPEAR TO NEW YORK AS SOON AS SHE COULD?
AND WHY DID SHE-- WHY DID SHE INSIST LIV DRIVE HER HOME AND NOT ME?
[DOOR CLOSES] SPENCER: WHAT'S UP?
HOW'S PATIENCE? OLIVIA: BETTER, I THINK.
SHE'S IN THE SHOWER. SPENCER: GOOD.
I'M ASSUMING ALL OF THIS WAS YOU?
-YEAH. -IT'S GORGEOUS.
THANK YOU. [SPENCER CHUCKLES]
I'M SORRY I RUINED YOUR SURPRISE.
[CHUCKLING] NAW. NAW.
YOUR SURPRISE WAS BETTER.
WHY DOES THIS FEEL WEIRD?
I KNOW, RIGHT?
WELL, UM...
WE CAN LEAVE IT BE, YOU KNOW, PRETEND IT'S NOT HAPPENING, OR...
OR CARDS ON THE TABLE. OLIVIA: I VOTE FOR CARDS.
I'M A BIG FAN OF CARDS.
I WAS SCARED TO SEE YOU.
I WAS SCARED OUR YEAR APART WAS GONNA CHANGE US.
IT DEFINITELY CHANGED ME,
AND I WAS NAIVE TO THINK THAT IT WOULDN'T.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT I STILL DIDN'T KNOW
WHO OLIVIA BAKER WAS ON HER OWN UNTIL...
I STARTED LIVING IN A CITY...
WHERE THAT'S ALL THAT I WAS...
JUST OLIVIA BAKER,
ON MY OWN FOR THE FIRST TIME--
NO VORTEX, SAFETY NET,
NO FAMILY TIES.
THAT'S WHY I NEEDED TO STAY.
AND AS I GOT TO KNOW HER,
I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.
I CAN'T SPEAK FOR YOU...
BUT FOR ME,
I'M SURE OF ONE THING THAT OLD ME
AND NEW ME SHARE...
AND THAT'S MY LOVE FOR YOU.
THAT WAS CLEAR THE MINUTE I SAW YOU TONIGHT.

OK, YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS. I'M--I'M FINE.
LAURA: I KNOW, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU STAY THAT WAY.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES] AND, SWEETIE, JUST SO YOU KNOW, IT WAS LAYLA
THAT RALLIED THE TROOPS TOGETHER TONIGHT.
SHE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FELT SURROUNDED BY LOVE.
WAIT. WHERE IS SHE?
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE STAFF TO DO THIS.
LAYLA: HEY, UM,
I'M SORRY TONIGHT DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED.
-AH, CAME TOGETHER EVENTUALLY. -YEAH.
COME ON, TAKE OFF. I GOT IT COVERED. I'LL CLOSE UP.
THANKS, BUT I CAN'T DITCH YOU ON OPENING NIGHT.
BESIDES, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO BE.
I'M TRYING TO GIVE PATIENCE SPACE.
YOU SURE SHE WANTS IT?
HEY, WHY AREN'T YOU AT THE HOUSE?
WHY AREN'T YOU? AND BEFORE YOU LIE,
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I ALREADY SPOKE TO JORDAN.
GOOD TO KNOW HIS BIG MOUTH IS ONE THING THAT'LL NEVER CHANGE. HEH!
LOOK, I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME.
THE ONLY PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED
TO ME IS MIKO, PERIOD.
I LEFT TO REHAB IN NEW YORK BECAUSE I WAS RUNNING
FROM L.A., NOT FROM YOU, AND I LEFT WITH LIV
TONIGHT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SACRIFICE
YOUR BIG NIGHT BY LEAVING TO TAKE CARE OF ME LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO,
'CAUSE I ALREADY-- I RUINED ENOUGH.
YOU DIDN'T RUIN ANYTHING.
OK, I'LL RECEIVE THAT,
IF YOU RECEIVE WHAT I'M SAYING,
'CAUSE THERE'S A PAIR OF MATCHING ONESIES
AT HOME WITH OUR NAMES ON THEM.
I DON'T WANT A SLEEPOVER WITHOUT YOU.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
SINGER: ♪ HEY, I JUST WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO MY STORY, STORY ♪
WHAT YOU DID FOR PATIENCE TONIGHT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
I'M SURE IT WASN'T EASY FOR YOU TO BE UP ONSTAGE AGAIN.
DOES SHE KNOW...
THAT YOU LOVE HER?
I'D ALMOST TALKED MYSELF INTO TELLING HER TONIGHT
AFTER HER...BIG COMEBACK, BUT I'M GLAD I DIDN'T.
AND LOOK, I KNOW I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SAY IT
TONIGHT AT THE CLUB, BUT I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME.
WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID?
I'M JUST NOT SURE... HOME FEELS LIKE HOME ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW, IF SPENCER WASN'T HERE, I...
I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE COME BACK.
SO WHAT HAPPENS IF SPENCER DRAFTS
IN 8 MONTHS AND HE'S NOT HERE ANYMORE?
SPENCER: I HAVE A MANDATORY DINNER
WITH SOME KEY BOOSTERS ON MONDAY AT 7:00.
[SIGHS] THIS IS WHY I AM GLAD I AM NOT YOU.
[CHUCKLES]
FROM YOUR RELAXED LOOK, I AM GUESSING YOU FIGURED OUT
WHAT YOU WANT ON THE LIV FRONT, THOUGH?
TO BUILD A LIFE WITH HER,
WHICHEVER MULTIVERSE VERSION OF HER WILL HAVE ME.
JORDAN: MM-HMM. GOOD FOR YOU, SPENCE.
BUT IF I ENTER THE DRAFT THIS YEAR, EVERYTHING CHANGES--
[CHUCKLING] STOP, STOP.
YOU'RE SLIPPING INTO MOODY SPENCER, OK?
HANG ON TO RELAXED SPENCER. LIVE IN THE NOW.
