You get lost
on the way to the basketball gym, Brent?
No, Coach, I'm in the right place.
All anyone wants to read about these days is Beverly football.
How things have changed.
Y'all locked up top seed in the playoffs
with a game to go.
Bumps you right to the top of the totem pole.
Hope you're not looking for some kind
of spicy quote ahead of tonight's game.
You haven't disappointed me yet.
There's not much to say about a game
that doesn't affect our playoff seeding.
How 'bout the fact that you're only sixty-two points
away from Beverly's regular-season points record?
Sixty-two points is a lot to put on the Cimarron defense.
You've done it once this season already.
Look, the most important thing about tonight's game
is that everybody leaves the field healthy.
Stamping this team's name in the record books would
send quite the message to the Chargers and put
another nail in the coffin of the Billy Baker era.
Looks like you're quite a bit more popular
than you were a few weeks ago.
Sure you don't want to send South Crenshaw
a message in this upcoming game?
Look, anything we got to say
to the Chargers, we'll say on the field
when we meet them in the playoffs.
Excuse me.
Ah.
Hey, hi.
Hey, uh, pancakes are ready, so why don't you come
get 'em before they get cold? I can't this morning.
I--I think you should, uh, spare a minute
to sit down, eat a bit. I've got a meeting, OK?
Amina, we need to talk.
About what?
You know what.
Look, I already told you, I'm sorry
for leaving for Baltimore in the middle of the night,
and if my dad decides to ground me, then--
No, he does not want to punish you.
OK, I'm just saying I understand.
Amina, we need to talk about your mom.
Um, yeah, there's--there's nothing to talk about.
I get it now--why you and my dad did what you did.
We're good. Amina.
I'm running late for student council.
We'll talk later.
LiTTiE: ♪ Let me show you what I'm talking bout ♪

I could get used to this.
- Heh! - Yo, hold on, hold on, hold on.
What? You got cookies? Why didn't I get any?
They're from Tori. Heh! It's an inside joke.
You know you guys aren't a secret, right?
- What do you mean, bro? - I mean she didn't get you
cookies because of an inside joke.
Everyone knows there's something's going on
between you and Tori, man. - Heh!
Hey, yo, we're just friends.
OK, look, we're just--
we're not trying to do the whole label thing.
Well, I'll give you and your "friend" a little privacy.
Hey. Heh! Um,
thanks for the cookies. How does it feel to be
the hottest team in Beverly? Pretty great, actually.
Yeah, it's really starting to feel like home.
Oh, so now that everyone worships the ground that
you walk on, you're really starting to feel yourself.
Yeah, a little bit, you know?
No, but seriously, big props to you
for helping me see that I'm building a family here in L.A.
In fact, um, I sent out an invite
to my mom's family back in Oakland.
I wanna finish off the season with both my families here.
Awesome. I can't wait to meet them.
I mean if that's what you want.
Yeah, of course. I mean, they're gonna love you.
Or, um, they're gonna think you're great.
Heh! OK.
Well, I should probably get going.
Um, meet up later?
For sure.
Ahem.
You're not even gonna say hi?
Hey.
Good to know I wasn't imagining it.
Imagining what?
I've been back three days, Khalil,
and I thought it was strange I hadn't seen you, but I
told myself, "No, Khalil just wrote me the sweetest letter
"about how he wants to be a better friend to me.
Why would he be avoiding me?"-- - Meen, it's not like that--
OK, then explain to me how you think being a better friend
means being a more distant one. 'Cause right now,
those are the same thing.
Look, I got stuff to handle-- What stuff?
Stuff I don't want you getting caught up in.
- Why not? - 'Cause it's dangerous, Amina!
So this is how it's got to be
till I get it handled, a'ight?
All right.
And when's that gonna be?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Got it.
Yo, yo.
- Know what this is about? - No idea.
Who's the suit? It's Campbell Beckett.
Athletic Director. Huh. Nice of him to
finally take an interest in the team.
All right. Sorry for the last-minute meeting,
but I wanted you all to hear this from me.
After some consideration, I've decided that
in order to protect our starters from injury
before playoffs, none of you will be playing tonight.
What? Look, win or lose,
we are already top seed. So we're just giving up
on our last game of the season? No, sir.
Next man up. Second string is more than
capable of getting us that dub. But the playoffs,
they don't start for another week.
I don't want us coming out rusty.
And we won't. Look--heh!--
you all are my starters, and you have been instrumental
in securing the number-one seed for the playoffs.
But now that you have, we don't have anything to gain
from tonight's game. And I don't want to lose
anyone for our playoff run.
You never did this in Oakland.
Look, this isn't up for discussion, all right?
It's already decided, and I expect every one of you
to be cheering for your teammates on the sidelines
whether you want to be there or not.
Understood?
Yes, Coach. Understood?
Yes, Coach!
It's so frustrating. Mm-hmm.
Like, I'd invited all my mom's family from Oakland.
I've been practicing all week, and now,
I can't play because some guy I've never seen before
is "worried" I'm gonna get injured. It's ridiculous.
Maybe you'll get
more time to spend with your family?
Actually, they weren't able to make it, so...
turns out my big family reunion wasn't happening anyway.
OK, sounds like maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Still doesn't feel right.
Sure. But sometimes you
gotta just accept the things that you can't change.
I mean, it wasn't your dad's choice either, right?
Yeah.
Hey, and if you still want to bring
your families together, what about your dad's side?
Yeah, I'm not too sure about that.
My dad's relationship with his dad is... is tense.
They don't really talk a lot.
Maybe this is your chance to change that.
One thing I realized with my grandparents is
how little I understood their relationship with my mom.
Invite your grandfather.
Who knows? Could be an opportunity
to unite the Jeremy men. Heh!
Look, I'm--I'm sorry to make
this whole conversation about me.
And we're supposed to be catching up on your trip.
So how was Baltimore? Uh, nice.
Spent time with the grandparents.
Saw a Ravens game. Oh.
Ate a ton of crab cakes.
Oh. Ha ha!
Uh, you--you find out anything about your mom?
Wasn't much to find out.
I, uh... I--I kind of got this weird note
from Khalil when I got back. Mmm.
- He mentioned you in it. - Me?
Yes, you.
Said, uh, said you helped him see
that he wasn't being a good friend to me
and that he wanted to be a better one.
Yeah, I almost forgot about that
after everything that went down that night.
I'm sorry. What went down?
Um...
Khalil was almost jumped by some gangbangers.
Yeah, it was-- it was intense.
Me, my dad, Jordan,
Spencer, and Darnell, we had to step in.
Apparently it had something to do with his dad.
I'm sorry. Um, do you mind if we finish
this catch-up later? I--I need to run.
- Uh, yeah, of course. - OK, um,
thanks for the smoothie and the "welcome back" hug.
I needed that.
See ya.
Hey, Elle, um, haven't heard back from you
about opening for Sabrina...
so I just wanted to, uh, to hear your thoughts
and, uh, yeah, gimme a call back.
Was that Sabrina? As in...
- Yeah. - Wow, that is big.
Mm-hmm, Elle's single is really taking off,
and I--I really wanna build on this wave,
but she hasn't gotten back to me in, like, a day.
All good.
She's probably just dealing with AA stuff.
- Yeah. - Oh, um,
I saw Amina at the brunch shift.
When did she get back? Couple days ago.
- Hmm. How's she doing? - She's fine.
Too fine, actually.
- What do you mean? - I mean she's been
totally pleasant, but every time I bring up
her mom or try to answer the questions Amina had
before she left, she says it's fine
and that we don't need to talk
and she understands why we did what we did.
- How 'bout Preach? - She was the same with him
before he left for that teacher conference in Arizona.
I--I don't know.
I just--I did the work and I faced the past,
and... I was finally ready
to have a genuine, adult conversation
with Amina about Mo and...
Just because you're ready to talk doesn't mean she is.
Yeah, I'm just-- I'm scared
that she's bottling up her feelings.
Well, I wouldn't press, you know?
When Amina's ready to talk, she'll talk.
And in the meantime, shouldn't you be picking
your classes for next year? Uh, yeah, but it's
kinda hard when you have no idea
the type of law you wanna practice.
- You have to choose already? - Yeah.
Contracts. Litigation. Torts.
They all have their own tracks.
Wait, you're seriously considering torts?
It can be pretty interesting.
- Hmm. - And don't you dare
say this has anything to do with my professor.
- You said it, not me. - Yeah.
How many times do I have to tell you,
the only thing I'm interested in with my professor
is her brain. Mmm.
Well, as your professor,
Breonna is the perfect person to discuss your future with,
and you can do it tonight over drinks.
What? Layla, is that-- is that my phone?
- Mm-hmm. - Wait. What'd you--
You texted her? Oh my god!
What is wrong with you? Hey,
I am being a good friend, OK?
Helping you figure out your future in law and love.
She is responding.
She said yes.
It's a date.
♪ It's a date ♪ Mm-hmm.
You're going on a date.
Mmm. Oh.
I gotta say, I didn't expect you to be
so much fun after finding out you're not playing tonight.
I wasn't,
but I talked it out with Amina, and now I'm fine.
Cool...
When'd you talk to her?
Like an hour ago. What's wrong? Heh!
I just feel like you always go to her
with these kinds of things. What kinds of things?
Emotional things. Advice.
It's like you save that side of yourself
for her, and then with me, it's all about hooking up.
No, it's not like I sought out Amina.
She just came back in town and we were catching up.
We're just friends.
What?
That's what we are, too.
Just friends.
OK, wait, hold on, 'cause now I feel like you're mad at me.
I'm mad at myself.
I made the mistake of wishing I was more.
But that's not on you.
I just don't like the way this is making me feel anymore.
Oh... and for the record?
My advice would've been different.
Maybe it's the competitor in me, but
there's no way I'd give up as easily as you have.
You and your teammates earned the right to be
on that field tonight. Not the boosters, not the AD.
They're taking credit for the victories,
but your team earned them.
Own it.
Come on, come on, man, come on.
Answer your phone. Why are you being like this?
- Yo, you good? - Yeah. We need to talk.
Bet. I was hoping you'd say that.
So check it, I've been doing a lot of
reflecting while you were gone. What?
Well, you said you wanted to talk. About Baltimore.
No, no, this is about Khalil.
Did you know he almost got jumped?
- Uh, yeah. - You didn't care to tell me?
Your dad did not want you to get involved.
I can't believe you listened to him.
He doesn't have the right to tell you who--
Amina, hold up. He's just trying to
protect you, all right? He's worked
way too hard to keep you away from that life.
He doesn't get to choose whose life
is worth saving this time.
And neither do you.
Meen, what are you doing here?
I'm here because KJ told me about you almost getting jumped.
I know what you're trying to do.
- You don't understand. - It's not complicated, Khalil.
You think avoiding me is the best way to protect me.
And what's wrong with that?
'Cause it's not just about that night with KJ.
There's been other threats since then.
Other near-misses. And it's only a matter of time
before I run into some guys I can't get away from.
I broke the code when I didn't back my dad's alibi.
And I'll face the consequences.
But I'm not about to let you get caught up in it.
I don't need you to protect me, Khalil.
Because I have people who have my back.
And so do you.
- Really? - Yeah.
Your family's here to protect you.
But my dad? He's the one coming for me.
I wasn't talking about your dad.
I'm talking about your village.
Jordan and Layla. Me.
Exactly the people I don't want getting caught up in this.
OK, fine, but you know there are people who can help you.
People who care about you.
All you have to do is ask.
Hey. I need to talk to you for a minute.
I got a coaches' meeting. Can it wait?
Actually, it can't.
All right.
I'm listening.
Dad, we deserve to play tonight.
'Cause this game matters.
OK, maybe not to playoffs, but to this team,
to the fans. To me.
It matters. And to be quite honest,
we deserve to be the ones making that decision.
Not some boosters who just started
showing up in the stands a few games ago.
It's not just the boosters.
AD Beckett made a good case.
It is smart football.
Man, forget all that, OK?
This--this is about pride.
And I'm proud of what we've done.
I mean, we started off this season an afterthought,
and now we're a freight train.
We got here our way,
so let's end the season our way with our starters
and a win on our field.
We deserve it.
All right.
Wait, so you'll play the starters?
You'll start.
But I'm pulling you at the half.
I'm giving you a chance to put this game away early.
You get your win, I get to rest you in the second half.
All right. Heh! One half to win the game.
You got it. All right.
- That's all we need. - All right. Heh!
All right, I only have a couple minutes,
but I had to do a fit check--um,
you're not wearing that, are you?
- No. - What's wrong?
I just--I finally had
a real conversation with Amina.
About Mo?
No. Khalil. But I get the feeling
it wasn't just him she was talking about.
- What'd she say? - That Preach and I don't get
to decide whose life is worth saving.
I mean, I wasn't even-- I mean, I was just
explaining to her that Preach is doing the best
he can to look out for her.
It just was not
the conversation I was prepared for.
Maybe that's the point. You know, maybe it's not
about the right words. Then what is it about?
I think Amina sees
how you and Preach keep Khalil at arm's length.
Look, I--I get that... you and Jordan
welcomed him into your home, and I think that's dope.
But you guys do not have a daughter
that you have to worry about.
You didn't grow up like Preach and I did.
Khalil was well on his way to getting jumped in
four months ago. I can't fault Preach
for not wanting Amina to get caught up in that.
You're right, I don't have a daughter.
But Khalil does live in my home, Coop,
and I promise you, he deserves the second chance
he's fighting so hard for. I mean, weren't you the one
that told me that he's not a bad person, he's just a kid
with a rough past who's made some mistakes?
Does that remind you of anyone?
Hey.
Hey, uh...
sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
No, it's all good. Is everything all right?
I don't want to hide from my dad's guys anymore.
Or worry about what's coming for me.
I'm trying to handle it all on my own, but...
I need help.
Alex Nova: ♪ I don't need the world... ♪
Breach of contract? Seriously?
No, Elle signed on for the original venue,
not some larger venue you're trying to push now.
Call their bluff.
What?
If they changed the details of the contract, it's void.
They have no case. Call their bluff and hang up.
Do--are you sure?
Hundred percent.
Damn. That felt good.
I bet. You must be Layla,
music producer, club owner,
businesswoman extraordinaire.
And you're Breonna.
Coop told me you were a badass lawyer.
She didn't mention the impressive timing.
Thank you very much for your help.
- Anytime. - Uh, I didn't think
you were meeting Coop for another hour or so.
I heard this place was a vibe,
and I have some work to do, if that's OK.
Yeah, of course, and, um,
drinks are on the house tonight.
Hey, Tori, can I talk to you for a second?
Look, I just want you to know
you were right, OK? Not just about talking
to my dad, but about everything.
About who you are to me.
Whatever this is, whatever we have,
I don't want to lose it, OK?
I just want to figure it out with you.
Will you give me another chance?
I'll think about it.
Oh, come on. I'ma need more than that.
Meet me here tonight after the game and we can talk.
OK.
Ooh!
Go on, man!
You'd better go.
Yeah, I'd better.
I'ma see you tonight.
Wouldn't opening for a platinum artist
who's selling out stadiums all over the country
be a step up? Yeah.
It's an amazing opportunity. But Elle specifically wanted
smaller, more intimate venues
just to ease back into the public eye.
Honestly, after everything she's been through,
I wouldn't blame her. And I'm fine
with whatever Elle wants to do, whether that's
opening for a certified star or, you know,
starting small like we planned, but she's not
responding, and now I'm in limbo.
Mmm.
Um...
can I--can I ask you a question?
Sure.
What is a tort?
Do you actually want to know?
I more want to know why Coop would be interested
in becoming a... tort lawyer?
- You got it, yeah. - Mm-hmm.
If you're asking me if I think Coop
should specialize in tort law... Mm-hmm.
absolutely not, but I do think she should use
her background in music and go into contract law.
I have always thought she should be a litigator.
- Really? - Yeah, yeah.
I lived with her for three years,
and she can be very convincing.
- Sounds like you got some tea. - Yeah. Ha!
But, uh, if you want me to spill,
I'm gonna need a drink of my own.
The kick's kneeled down
in the end zone for a touchback.
You got two quarters to put this one away.
Now go win it, all right? Yes, sir, yes, sir!
Offense! And here comes
the Beverly Eagles offense
against the Cimarron Pirates.
So you're the one Gilbert sent over?
Uh, it was Flip that reached out, ma'am.
Gilbert's his government name.
I've been calling him that
since he was knee-high to a curb.
Mmm. For the record,
we go by full names in this house.
I'm Miss Ocia. You can start with yours,
and then tell me why a Blood OG
would ask me to hear you out.
Uh, I'm Tamia Cooper.
And thank you for seeing me, Miss Ocia.
I came here to talk about Khalil Edwards.
Marqui's boy that
wouldn't back him with the cops?
Respectfully, I--I believe that is the reason
for Marqui's vendetta. And I'm concerned that
he's taken this beyond a personal matter.
He is ignoring the rules of our community;
the unspoken halo that protects football players.
He's sending homies outside the neighborhood,
risking police attention and hurting y'all bottom line.
Don't pretend to understand my business, Tamia.
- Oh, no, I'm sorry. I just-- - Marqui's recklessness
could cause problems eventually.
But this business has survived
more than enough reckless gangbangers.
Young Khalil, on the other hand,
failed to give his own father
proper respect. And if that's
not dealt with, others might follow his example.
And without respect,
there is no business.
So why should I... intervene on his behalf?
Because Khalil is trying to be something.
Because he is a son of Crenshaw,
and I don't wanna see him robbed of his future
just like so many other kids from this neighborhood.
He deserves that chance.
Because this does go beyond the Bloods and the Crips.
And the fact that you
allowed me to come here to say all of this
makes me think that you believe it, too.
With just two seconds
left in the second quarter, the Eagles will try
for a field goal to end the half.
Field goal.
You really think he's gonna take us out
after the second half? I don't know.
There you go. Got it. Mmm.
And the kick is good. Let's go, guys.
Let's go, let's go. The Beverly Eagles go
into the half with a 10-point lead over the Cimarron Pirates.
That's a two-score lead.
Come on, KJ. It's 20-10, man.
This game isn't over.
All right, yeah. We'll talk to him.
Hey, Coach, look,
I know you said one half,
but this game isn't over, all right? Let us get
one more touchdown on the board before you take us out.
Come on, Coach. Let us finish this.
Everybody listen up!
There's been a change of plans.
See, I don't like the way we been playing tonight.
And that's on me because I told y'all
you ain't got nothing to play for.
You're already the number-one seed,
you're already the top-ranked team.
So what else is there, right?
Well, we are forty-two points away
from the Beverly Eagles regular-season points record.
That's a lot of points to put up.
Six touchdowns in a half.
I'm talking all gas-- no brakes,
screw field goals--gimme six, "let that dog out" football!
- Yeah! - Yeah! It's how you
stamp your name in the record book.
And I want it! Do you?
- Yeah! - Now, do you want it?!
Hell yeah, we want it! Let's go!

all right? We got to put more than sixty points
on that board tonight, son. All right, let's do it.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's go, let's go. Come on.

So she printed off
the terms of service and everything.
And I swear, they would've paid me
to change my oil by the time she was done with them.
I won't argue.
She's impressive.
Whatever she decides to focus on,
she'd be... incredible at it.
Hmm.
What?
- Can I ask you another question? - Listen,
if you want to talk about torts,
I can go all night long.
What's your deal with Coop?
I mean, you've obviously taken an interest in her.
She's my student. That's all.
Funny. Coop said the same thing.
But it is--it's obvious that there's more than
just an academic connection between you two.
Look, Coop just got out of a long-term relationship.
I am protective over her, I don't want her to get hurt,
but... I mean, it would be a shame if whatever's
happening between you two went unacknowledged.
Relationships between professor and student
are obviously not encouraged. Mm-hmm.
You think I'd risk all that for someone who stood me up?
Oh, I know. She texted she'd be late,
but at this point, it's clear
she has other priorities. Tonight, she does.
You're right, and, uh, it's not my place
to say what kept her, but I think you'd understand.
Look, just give her a little more time.
I know Coop, and I know how important you are to her.
Hey, hey. How'd it go?
Flip will reach out when we get an answer.
OK. OK. Um, well,
regardless of how this turns out, I--
I really appreciate what you did.
And I know Khalil does, too.
He's lucky to have someone like you in his corner.
Not everyone has that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess not...
Everything all right?
Yeah. Yeah, we'll talk later.
I know you got your date.
- Oh, come on. It's not a date. - OK, well, whatever it is.
Come on, Amina.
I--I am always available for you.
Well, it's just I thought my mom was one of those people.
Someone who never got a real chance.
Who never had anyone on her side.
Maybe if she had,
she would've been a good person.
Amina, what happened, it--it wasn't all Mo.
OK, sure, she played a part in it,
but so did I and so did your dad.
But it was her,
and I know that now.
And I realized that after talking to my grandparents.
They left Crenshaw when she got in trouble.
They put her through law school to give her a future.
They helped her raise me.
They thought she had changed.
But she never did.
Not really.
She was never the person I thought she was.
- But she did change-- - Then why come back, huh?
She had a life,
family...
me.
How could she give that all up?
Grief.
Look, Amina,
the mother that you remember,
that loved you, was real.
And I believe she'd still be that same woman today
if she hadn't lost her brother.
That life she had with you, it changed her for the better.
But her grief from losing Tyrone,
it--it overpowered her.
I don't think we should blame her for that.
She almost killed you.
Grief also twisted who she was,
and I see that now.
In fact, the hardest part for me
wasn't forgiving her,
it was accepting how grateful I am.
Grateful for what?
Grateful for you.

Yo, man!
Come on, man. Talkin' about!
Hey, Coach, someone's gonna get hurt if we
keep running up the score. That ain't on us, man,
they lost their heads. It is if we keep
embarrassing them like this. Isn't the most important part
of this game leaving healthy? We're not done yet.
One more touchdown, all right?
Wait, the points record? You really want it that bad?
I thought that was just a rallying cry--
It is proof that we are the best team that Beverly has
ever put on this field. Tell me you don't want that.
Because they do.
Yo, what's really going on, Dad?
This isn't who we are. If you don't want
this record, take a seat so I can put in someone who does.
Hey, come here.

Breonna. Heh! Sorry I'm late.
I didn't think it'd take me that long--
Don't worry about it.
Your friend took really good care of me.
- All right. - So,
busy night? Yeah, and it might
take me a minute before I even think about what
I want to specialize in, if that's all right.
Actually, how would you feel about
saving that conversation for another time?
No, I--I mean, I would feel horrible
after you've waited all this time.
I don't mind. I thought maybe tonight,
we could just get to know each other a little better.
I'd like that.
Me, too.
Um, stay as long as you like...
and bottle's on the house.
- Thank you, Layla. - Yeah.
It was so good to meet you.
You, too.
Well, it seems like you two got along well.
- What makes you say that? - She left you a note.
Actually, she left us a note,
and it says, "You're only professor and student
for another couple weeks."
Cheers. To good friends.
Thank you.
Hey, how you feeling?
I'm good, bro.
I just tweaked my hamstring a little.
I should be good for next game.
Or you can be out for a month.
Man, I know how tricky hamstring injuries can be.
Doctor said it's a wait-and-see.
You could miss the playoffs.
Man, he should have never let this happen.
Hey, this ain't on your dad, KJ.
I wanted that touchdown just as much as he did.
We all did. No, something
changed in him during that game.
I mean, he wasn't coaching like himself.
I--I got to find out what it was.
Hey, um, I'm starting to get worried
about you, Elle. Just, um, call me back, OK?
Hey. Heh!
I'm not making barging in on you in the gym a thing,
I promise. Heh!
You should check your phone.
Uh... sorry I dipped on you.
I just needed to clear my head.
And, look, even if Coop isn't able to change things for me,
thank you.
Both of you.
For caring enough to try.
Everybody deserves a chance.
Coop says the Crips are gonna give you one.
- Yo, for real? - I don't know what she said
or who she talked to, but you don't have to worry
about your dad or his guys coming after you anymore.
Hey, you all right?
Yeah, I just-- I just didn't believe
it would actually work.
Guys like me don't usually get off easy.
Mmm, I'm not sure "easy" is the right word.
Finally feels like I might...
have a real path out.
Sure beats the alternative.
Well, no more obstacles or excuses.
Now you get to choose who you want to be.
Tougher than it sounds, but... Maybe.
But right now, I just feel free.
Whoa, uh, what was that?
I don't know. It just, uh, felt right in the moment.
"In the moment." Yeah, uh,
Khalil, it's been an emotional day.
I think we should call it a night.
Meen, I--I thought you wanted this.
Seriously?
What I wanted is for you to really see me.
To get me.
Not to be the girl you just kiss
"in the moment" because I happened
to be the person standing in front of you.
- Amina, I-- - Uh, don't you dare say
that that's not what this was because if it wasn't,
you wouldn't have said, "I don't know."
Y'know, I used to think the problem was me.
That I wasn't enough.
For my mom, for you.
But I was reminded today that I am more than enough.
Always have been.
I am so glad I can finally see that now.
So don't worry, I'm not--I'm not mad
at you because that was on me.

Look, I am sorry Grayson got injured.
He shouldn't have still been in the game,
and you know it. I made a decision, son.
Maybe it was the wrong one, but what else do you want from me?
I want to know what happened out there.
Something changed your mind.
Good game tonight, son.
What are you doing here?
I invited him.
But he never said he was actually coming.
I was actually surprised you weren't the one
to reach out, Cassius, considering how you
finally put our plan in motion.
What's Pop-Pop talking about?
You haven't told him?
I told you I didn't want him involved in this.
Involved in what?
Hey, somebody tell me what's going on here.
Sit down, KJ.
It's time you learned why the Jeremy men
have really come to Los Angeles.
Greg, move your head!
