Game of the year.
Everybody's talkin' about it.
Down to the last two undefeated teams.
Be easier if we still had you.
Yeah.
And who you got tomorrow? Hawthorne, a game nobody's talkin' about.
That's what happens when you lose more games than you win.
You guys'll be good, all right? You just got to turn things around.
Yeah, we'll be all right.
We're getting some test scores back tomorrow.
If we get some of our guys eligible to play, we might have a decent run at the playoffs.
Whoo! That's the game.
Oh, I'm praying JJ doesn't still have that crown.
Simone.
Dane.
What are you doing here? Oh, uh, Cam and I were just looking to - Start trouble? - No.
No, - it's not like that.
- We're just hungry.
I'm Cam, by the way.
Vanessa.
So, uh h-how you been? Are you serious? I'm good.
That's good.
So look, a-about the way everything went down You guys lost? Is that my guy, the one and only Spencer James? Yo, for someone who left Beverly Hills, you're, uh, you're always here, man.
Well, you know he can't show his face around Crenshaw with that last-place team.
Keep running your mouth, Cam.
Oh, you know I always will.
I was hoping we'd get to bust you up in the playoffs, but, uh, looks like you won't even be there, so Okay, when you guys are done, we'll be inside.
Okay, time to go.
Hey, it's good to see you! See you tomorrow night.
Oh, and yo, it's a good thing I transferred outta Crenshaw.
- I already got, like, 4 Schollie offers.
- Yeah.
How many you got, Big Spence? Hey, uh, you're not intimidated, are you are you, with me bein' Homecoming king? - No.
- Because you shouldn't be.
- I'm not.
- You know what me being king makes you, right? I'm really tired.
I'm gonna go.
- See you later? - All right.
Hey, dude, can I give you some friendly advice? Stop tryin' so hard.
Maybe you could talk to her for me.
- Oh, don't drag me into this.
- No, you know her better than anyone, right? Will you just put in a good word? Tell her that I'm more than the super-popular Homecoming king.
Dude I like her.
I'm not asking you to lie.
Just tell her I'm a good guy.
Fine.
I'll talk to her.
I owe you.
You want my crown? Heh! No.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, I hereby grant you knighthood.
Rrr! Huh? Ha ha! How's that? Heh heh! All right.
Heh! You're the man! Vanessa.
Oh, you need a ride? Uh, no.
I just wanted to talk to you.
Okay.
Sounds kinda serious.
Nah, no, not really.
It's about JJ.
You playing cupid? Heh! Sorta.
Look, I I know he comes off as - Childish? Heh! - He's got a heart of gold, and he's the most loyal person I know.
I'm waiting for someone else.
Vanessa, I I just don't think it's a good idea.
- Timing? - I know.
Timing will probably never be right for us.
But can you answer a question for me? The only reason we didn't kiss this summer was because of Olivia, and I respect that, but now we're both single, so what's stopping us from giving in to a kiss we're both curious about? Like right now? Doesn't hurt anyone.
It would hurt someone JJ.
I I I can't.
I want to, I do.
It's just It's cool.
Someday we'll get this bad timing thing worked out.
And when she needed me the most, I was right there by her side.
She still sends me thank-you cards.
Thank you, Nina, for telling us how good of a sponsor you are.
I just care so much.
You can sit down now, Nina, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Okay, there are some new faces here tonight, so does anyone want to introduce themselves? No? Okay.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Thank you.
Um, ahem.
Hi.
Sorry.
Do you do you remember me? I remember you.
Long way from home.
Yeah.
Um had a little relapse.
I didn't want to go to another fancy Malibu rehab center, so my parents and I thought that this would be the best setting for me.
Well, it's good that you're getting help, but it doesn't matter where the meeting is if you don't participate.
Good night.
Hey.
How'd it go? Think I just got scolded for not introducing myself.
Oh, well, it was your first meeting.
Next time.
How'd your meeting go? It was it was good, actually.
I I got a lot of, uh, perspective on what you're going through and how I can better support you.
Good night, Olivia.
- Call me.
- Bye.
- New friend? - Vampire.
- She seemed nice.
- She's very nice, but, like, - overly eager to sponsor, like a vampire? - Oh.
I just don't want to make another mistake and choose the wrong sponsor, you know? I think Leslie and I just became way too close.
- Hey, baby.
- Mornin'.
I already read that online.
- It's brutal, right? - Prove 'em wrong.
You get to the part they single me out? - No.
- They said I'm havin' a bad season, and that I haven't delivered on my promise.
- Forget this article.
- They're not wrong, though.
I did make that big public promise to save the school, and if we don't make the playoffs, I can't keep it.
- So make the playoffs.
- Hmm.
Yeah, rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' stone Is Patience around? Why? I have some legal documents I need her to sign.
Well, all right, just leave 'em with me, and she'll get 'em when she get 'em.
I can't just leave them with you; it's lawyer client confidentiality.
Or you just don't want me to see what shady nonsense you up to.
Are we still doin' this, Coop? Why should I change how I feel about you? You ain't changed.
I haven't changed from what, from when I used to run with gangs as a teen? Listen, I just know what you're about, all right? You got everyone else around here fooled, but not me.
Whatever.
Patience really does need to sign these papers.
Rollin' stone Rollin' stone, rollin' stone - Rollin' - Yo.
There he is, Sir Asher Adams.
- What? - I knighted you, remember? - For talking to Vanessa for me? - Right.
So how'd it go? Honestly, man, I I just don't think it's gonna happen.
W-What did she say? She's into someone else.
Did she say who? You.
Man, just how close did y'all get this summer? Wait.
No.
No, we didn't hook up.
I was with Liv.
And now you're not with Liv, so you want to be with Vanessa now? Man you made me look like an idiot for months, and the whole time, you were just waitin' to make your move? - Did something happen last night? - No.
No, I I mean, almost, but - Almost? - Dude! Whoa, whoa, chill.
I offered you my crown.
I knighted you, and you steal my girl? Hey, coach? Coach, you good? Ahem.
Test results.
They didn't make it.
Damn.
I know those guys worked real hard, man.
Hillis, Cobb, Johnson, Reid, and Boyd all are eligible to suit up for tonight's game.
You lyin'.
They passed.
- They passed.
- Ha! - Whoo! - Yeah.
You, uh, you want to tell 'em the good news? - Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
- Go for it.
Oh, hold up, hold up.
I have some, uh, some good news for you, too.
I asked 9 college coaches to come to the game.
Eight said yes, so you got to be great tonight, Spencer.
When's the last time I was great? In my senior year, your pops had a decent season.
Not as good as his junior year, but it was solid.
Heh! And then came the Homecoming game.
- He break out? - Let me tell you, he had the single-greatest game in Crenshaw history.
I couldn't even come close.
Nobody could.
Nobody did.
He had a record of 7 touchdowns.
- 7? - 7? Yeah, man.
I'm pretty sure the entire game was in slow motion for Corey that day.
I wish people remembered how good he was.
Nobody talks about it.
They don't even remember that record.
Well I got somethin' special planned for halftime.
After tonight everyone's gonna remember Corey James.
And if you play the way I know you can they gonna remember you, too.
Hey.
What's up? I got some, uh, papers here for Patience.
Are those what I think they are? Mmm, I don't know.
What do you even think they are? Finally! How did you get these? Mo.
So, wait, those are legit? Yeah, it's the final dissolution of Patience's contract with my dad.
Once she signs them, she's free.
I'm glad I brought 'em by.
I was about to sit on 'em for a while.
Hey, ladies.
How you doin' today? - Hey, Dad.
- Don't mind me.
- Just grabbin' a snack.
- Okay.
I'm glad Lil Jewel did the right thing - and made it up to Patience.
- Someone needed to.
Yeah, well, I mean, my dad must have felt bad, too.
He let Patience join the tour, even though she's not on the label.
More like "had no choice".
Am I missing something? No.
Look, forget it.
I gotta bounce, but I'll see you later, all right? Okay.
You better go easy, boy.
You don't want to burn yourself out.
- Got a big game tonight.
- Ah.
I'm good.
Helps calm my nerves.
What are you, uh, what are you doing here? I just wanted to give you a heads-up.
The head coach from Arizona State's comin' to watch y'all today.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
- Who are they comin' to see? - You.
Are you serious? - Heh! Yeah? - Yes.
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me.
I tried to get him to see my game, but he wanted to see you face off at Westlake.
- Heh! - Yeah.
Jordan, look at me.
It's time to show these cats what you can do.
Yeah.
- Hey.
- Coach Baker.
Dad, you know Coach Montes.
You're having a great season.
Oh, just picking up where you left off.
Helps to have Jordan.
Heh! Well, I'm gonna jump in the shower, but you two can keep saying - nice things about me if you want.
- Ha ha! Thank you, by the way, for the heads-up on Arizona State.
- Play good.
- Yes, sir.
You told him about A-State.
I did.
It'll motivate him to play great.
Or he'll tense up and play conservative, which is why I didn't tell him when I convinced the coach to come see him play.
You did that for Jordan? - He earned it.
- Huh.
Well, thanks for lookin' out for my son.
- Good luck tonight.
- You, too.
I never thought that I would relapse.
You know, I was I was actually happy.
You know, I was doing really well for a long time, and you know, the only reason that I took a drink was because I felt like everyone was leaving me.
You know, I had I had been there for everyone else, and suddenly, I just didn't matter to them.
Mmm Thank you, Olivia, okay? Well, that sounds like a good place for us to stop today, so I hope to see you all tomorrow, okay? Thank you.
Hey, that was so brave, and just so you know, it is not your fault Whose fault was it, then? - Uh - What? This wasn't about anybody leaving you.
You are going to find a reason to drink, no matter what.
Not true.
We've all been there.
Addiction is an illness, so you have to stop pretending other people did this to you.
Okay, well, I'm not pretending.
She's not pretending.
Nina? Okay.
Olivia, if you can't take responsibility for your relapse, then you're just wasting your time.
I just don't trust her.
I know she's up to somethin'.
Why are you still going on about Mo? You seem a little obsessed.
I'm not obsessed.
Oh, come on.
Flip told us she used to be bad news.
But people can change.
She got everyone fooled.
Does Flip got everyone fooled? Do you? 'Cause you both got a past.
We different.
I don't know.
It just seems like you might be doin' a little profilin'.
- You think I'm profiling Mo? - Maybe, because of who she used to be and who her brother was.
Come on, Coop, we got enough folks profilin' us.
We can't be doin' it to our own.
All right! Y'all gather round! Round it up! All right.
Y'all know what I see right now? I see a brand-new team.
We are finally operating at full strength.
So you know what that means? That means no excuses.
This right here is a team that they said would dominate the entire season, this team right here.
Now, I know a lot of y'all are startin' for the first time tonight.
I encourage you to look at this as an opportunity.
It's simple, y'all.
We lose one more time, and no more playoffs.
I said no more playoffs, so it's now or never, y'all.
It is time to put up or shut up.
- So my question is are y'all tryin' to get it? - Yeah.
- Uh-uh.
I said are y'all tryin' to get it? - Yeah! - I said are y'all tryin' to get it? - Yeah! Let's get it on me.
Let's get it on 3! 1, 2, 3! Let's get it! A must-win game tonight for the South Crenshaw Chargers if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
New kicker Nhani Rivers prepares for the kickoff.
Here's the matchup we've all been waiting for Beverly versus Westlake, the battle of the unbeatables.
Heads.
We want the ball.
Crenshaw's new place kicker shanks the opening kick.
What a disaster! Hawthorne's got the ball and they're goin' for it! Touchdown! Hey, hey, don't worry, y'all.
Weak arm! Weak arm! Go to work! Good field position.
Beverly's looking to strike first here.
Jordan Baker gets free and finds a receiver in the end zone.
Touchdown, Beverly! Yeah! Yeah! How's that for a weak arm, huh? - Hey, keep talkin' up, Baker! - We eatin' all night.
Yeah, yeah, come on! Keep it up! Sorry, coach.
We both know what you can do.
Next time, try kickin' it straight.
Hey.
We got your back.
Hawthorne lines up for the extra point.
Here's the snap and the kick And it's good! Puts Crenshaw at a disadvantage to start the game.
- Hey.
- What's up? Don't you got some Homecomin' football game to be at? Don't you? Mmm, kinda takin' a break from all that.
- Yeah, me, too.
- So what, you just in the neighborhood? Well, we didn't finish our conversation.
- I thought we did.
- No, you said my dad didn't have a choice about Patience joining Lil Jewel's tour and then kinda sprinted away.
I didn't sprint away.
It was more like a light jog.
What did he do, Coop? Nothin' you want to hear about.
No, I need to hear it, Coop.
I'm tired of people lying to me.
Why did my dad agree to let Patience on that tour? Spencer James gets a handoff on third down and is dropped for a big loss.
Hey.
Hey! What's goin' on? - Hawthorne's playing tough D.
- No, don't give me that.
You're playing tentative.
Now, I got 8 coaches out there in the stands.
What I tell you? - To be great.
- Okay.
- Hey, twist, twist! - Tie game.
Westlake is looking to add some points before the half.
- JJ, you're out of position! - Worry about yourself! Hey, you're leaving the middle open! Move over! Rrr! Complete breakdown by the Beverly defense.
Leaving the field wide open.
Touchdown, Westlake.
Dude! Get your head in the game! You got a problem with me, fine! I don't care! Do not sabotage this game over it! Nhani Rivers lines up for the extra point, a chance to redeem herself after the opening kickoff.
Good one! Happy Homecoming, South Crenshaw.
All right.
Thank you all for comin' out tonight and supportin'.
Uh, we're gonna try and change up this score in the second half.
But, uh, before that, we're gonna pay tribute to one of our own a former student here, former teammate of mine who played on this field Number 5, Mr.
Corey James.
We, uh, we lost Corey this past year.
Uh, he left us with with so much, including a school-record 7 touchdowns in one game.
Damn, your pops was cold.
Corey set that record at a Homecoming game, just like this one, 25 years ago.
Corey inspired me to become a better player.
Um so after tonight Corey's number 5 will officially be retired, but it will live on because we're placing his number right here on this field.
So Corey's retired numbers and touchdown records aren't the only legacies that he's leaving us with.
I believe that he's leaving us with something even better.
I believe that Corey's here tonight looking down on his greatest legacy of all.
Thank you.
Green 18, green 18! Spencer James takes the short pass Blows past the defense! Touchdown, Crenshaw! Crenshaw's offense is starting to click.
Deep pass for Spencer James.
Unbelievable catch in the end zone! - Yes! - Green 18! Spencer James with another incredible touchdown! He will not be denied today! Tie game, two minutes left.
Beverly's looking to take the lead.
Dane Kohler in pursuit, and he delivers a devastating blow to Jordan Baker! Here come the flags! This will be a targeting penalty.
- What's wrong? - Whoo! Let's hope Jordan Baker is okay.
Right, baby! That's right, fellas! All day, fellas, all day! You playin' like a cheat code right now.
- Finally got it rollin'.
- You realize what you just did? - What? - You just tied your pop's record.
That was your 7th touchdown tonight, and we got at least one more potentially, bro.
That's legendary, Spence.
It's legendary.
- Coach? - What's up? Look, we up 24.
You gotta take me out.
Uh-uh, we're gettin' you this record, young man.
No, man, my pops deserves that record.
He deserves to have people remember him.
I'm not takin' that from him.
Listen up.
If Corey were here in these stands, we both know he'd have tears in his eyes, and it wouldn't be because he lost his record.
It would be because that you would be breaking it.
He'd want this for you.
Go get it.
Ready! Green 18 green 18! He's at the 20, the 15, the 10 takes a knee at the 5.
Spencer could have broken the record.
He's gonna share the record with his pops.
Hey, Laura, what's happenin'? Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Slow down, slow down.
- Hey.
Is he in there? - He's, um - he's still not awake yet, but go, go in.
- Okay.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- Spencer, come on in.
- Okay.
Nurse Joy? You stalkin' me? No, um, my brother.
Oh, honey, the football player? Okay, I'm gonna see what I can find out, okay? - Thank you.
- All right, yeah.
Okay, I have a list of questions to ask the doctor.
Hi.
Uh, we're taking very good care of Jordan.
I have a few updates Um, have you have you ruled out bleeding in his brain? We're doing scans for that now.
And, uh, what about an MRI on his neck? - As soon as we rule out the bleeding.
- Okay, and Jordan had a concussion not that long ago, so have you checked for second-impact syndrome? - Baby, that's extremely rare.
- I didn't ask if it was common.
Uh, and what about his electrolytes? Dr.
Hodges, can I please talk to you privately? - I'm sorry.
Excuse me? - He's trying to give us updates on Jordan, but you won't stop reading your list of questions.
Yes, I understand.
I am his mother, and you're his friend, and I was allowing you to be here, but you can go home now, and I'll call you if anything changes.
I'm not going anywhere, and yeah, you are his mother, and I respect that, but wife trumps parent in this situation.
Jordan and I are married, and all I want to do right now is get an update from my husband's doctor.
Is that okay? I am in so much trouble.
- Well, I got your back.
- Thanks.
Heads up.
Did you know about this? - Yes.
- We were witnesses.
When did this happen? Vegas, over summer.
So you've been lying to me for months? - How did I lie? - Not telling me the biggest news of your brother's life is the same thing as lying! So, uh, the doctor is optimistic.
Based on what? Based on his medical expertise.
Are you guys okay? Don't worry about them.
I am worried about them.
Look, if you have a problem with me or my marriage to Jordan, then take it up with me, but just leave them out of it.
I do have a problem with you and your so-called marriage, but right now, I'm more concerned about keeping my son alive, okay? So I will deal with you later.
I am a black woman What's all this? We're organizing a rally for Tamika Pratt.
Man, it's crazy they still ain't arrested the cops that killed that girl.
- That's exactly why we're here.
- Can I help? Yeah.
Grab a blank sign.
What should I write? Anything you want to say.
What is Mo doing here? She's representing Tamika's family.
- Really? - Yes.
I just want to thank all of you, and the Pratt family appreciates your love and support.
Five months ago, their daughter Tamika was profiled, just like so many of us are profiled every single day.
All Tamika did was fall asleep in her car, and she ended up murdered.
How does that happen? We can't keep letting this happen to us, so we're gonna win this battle.
We have to.
What'd you write? It's gotta stop.
Hey, hey.
Fire's nice.
Grab a seat.
I'm good.
You know, Dad, um, I knew something didn't add up with the way you let Patience go so easily.
Wait, hold up.
I thought you wanted me to let her out of her contract.
Now, suddenly, you're upset that I did? Another affair with one of your artists? - Layla, careful.
- Lil Jewel is married, Dad.
- Unhappily.
- Oh, so that makes it okay? Come on! You are in a position of power over a female artist.
That goes beyond inappropriate to disgusting.
What did what did you do, give her Patience's song for services rendered? Okay, watch it, young lady.
You're turning this into something it's not.
First it was Chynna, then well, first it was Mom, when you were on tour.
- How many did I miss? - Who else am I supposed to date, Layla? I spend every waking minute in this world, and you know better than anyone else how much I've dedicated my life to making music, to being the best in this game.
Look sweetheart, I know that I haven't been the best dad, but for you to suggest that I would take advantage of a woman in the way that you're implying, it's it's just B.
S.
So, if some producer were to treat me that way, you'd be okay with that? My choice in artists is strictly business.
My choice in who I sleep with is unrelated.
Wow.
You you really think compartmentalizing it makes it okay? Newsflash.
It doesn't.
God.
Who are you, Dad? I feel like I don't even know you.
Oh, come on.
You're overreacting.
Am I? You know, maybe we were better off with you on the road and me parenting myself.
Oh, come Hey.
Hey.
Hmm.
Did we win? Oh.
Um, no.
Westlake hit a field goal in the last two seconds.
Damn it.
Um, I'm gonna bring your family in now, and just a heads-up - Hmm.
- They know.
They know what, babe? Everything.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Hey.
Mom, Dad, look, I'm I'm sorry, - all right, I didn't tell you guys.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
We'll talk about it later.
Yeah, we're just we're glad you woke up.
How long was I out? Too long.
We were so worried about you.
- We love you so much, baby.
- Mm-hmm.
I love you guys.
- Hey, you got a second? - I don't got time for whatever it is you about to accuse me of, Coop.
Come on.
It's not like that.
I'm just realizin' I'd never really given you a chance because of Tyrone, because of who you used to be.
That's not right, and clearly you've changed, and I'm just the last person to realize it, so I wanted to say I was sorry.
Thank you, Coop.
You're welcome.
So we good? Yeah, we're good.
All right, cool.
So what was that about? She finally let her guard down.
So, we completed some additional scans and determined that this was repeated damage, uh, clearly a second injury before the first one fully healed.
But that's impossible.
No, he passed all of his protocols, and recovered from that that first injury, right? No, I didn't, actually.
I I didn't pass the protocols.
I I I lied to you, to Coach Montes, to everybody.
I I I I've even had symptoms recently, that just this morning.
- Jordan.
- How could you risk everything? I I just wanted to play, Mom, that's all.
This is so reckless, Jordan, and did you know about this? I just found out today.
I'd like to speak to Jordan alone.
Okay.
Okay.
Thanks for the save, doc.
They were about to go nuclear.
Actually, um I wanted you to hear this from me first.
Okay.
Olivia? Olivia.
Hey, I've got some news.
I'm sure the doctors are telling your folks now, but your brother was real lucky.
- He was? - Mm-hmm.
No bleeding, no swelling.
So he's gonna be okay? Well, he did take a vicious hit, but the doctors are hopeful there's no long-term damage, so Thank you.
Long night, huh? Yeah.
You want to sit? I've been standin' all day.
If I sit now, I'll never get back up.
Hey, you got a sponsor yet? Gotta watch out for those vampires.
Actually, I I have found a sponsor - You.
- I wasn't offering.
- That's why I want you.
- Olivia, I'm not your friend.
- I don't need another friend.
- I thought they all left you.
I'm probably gonna regret this.
- So is that a yes? - As long as you take some responsibility for your actions.
See you tomorrow.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey, Ma.
How's Jordan? Uh, he's awake.
Yeah, I think he's gonna be a'ight.
Doctor says he was lucky.
Somebody should probably tell his teammates.
I'm sure the Eagles have taken over the whole lobby.
Ha ha! Yeah.
How's Laura holdin' up? Man, she pretty strong.
Yeah, I remember when you were in here.
It was the worst night of my life.
Hey, got through it, though.
Yeah.
I'm proud of you.
I have never seen you play like you did tonight.
7 touchdowns? Where did that come from? Everything about the game made sense tonight.
Hmm.
Something clicked.
And, uh, pops was with me out on that field.
And those 8 coaches that came to see you play? They all asked for a visit.
Not all at once, of course.
Heh! Wow.
God has a plan for you.
- I love you.
- I love you, too, Mom.
Hey.
Did you hear the good news? The doctor said there'll be no long-term damage.
- Yeah.
Yeah, he told me.
- Gonna be all right, buddy.
You're gonna be better than ever.
And back to annoying me.
Hey, what's goin' on? Um, well, the doctor told me he doesn't think I'll be able to play football again this year.
Dad, it's my it's my senior year.
There goes my entire future.
Greg, move your head!
Mm-mmm.
It'll be fine.
We're gonna hear about this every day for the rest of our lives.
I think you're overreacting.
Do you remember 10 years ago, when Shaq came to his birthday party? - Yeah.
- Yeah, he reminded me about that yesterday.
Maybe he'll surprise us.
- Maybe.
- Gentlemen! Huh? I know.
I know what you guys are thinkin', all right? You're worried that this great honor bestowed upon me by our peers - will change me.
- Mm-hmm.
But I will always be the same JJ y'all remember.
You know, the dance is over.
You can lose the crown.
Yeah, well, the dance may be over, but my reign has just begun! Hee hee! Yo! Spencer James is in the house! Ooh, looking good! Oh, where's your, uh where's your crown? Oh.
I didn't win.
What? What what loser beat you out? He did.
That's what it's all about Let's make the good times come Heh! Oy! Fellow king.
- Hmm? Heh heh heh! - Where is your crown? Just thought that it was kinda corny to wear it after the dance.
- Heh! - We go hard We don't quit, no, we will never stop Oh! Ha! Hi! Welcome to my kingdom! - Good luck with that.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, I'll be right back.

Yeah, I seriously might have to transfer.
Where's the ladies? Uh, I think you mean, "Where's Olivia", right? Let's make the good times come Let's make the good times come Such a good choice.
Those are delicious.
Avoid the coffee.
Heh! Thanks for the heads-up.

She's also kinda strict.
Come on.
I'll save you a seat.
Come on.
Oh, wait.
Um We're waiting.
Did you find your cookie yet? Because it's not a buffet, so just have a seat.
Okay.
Uh, who wants to get started? Y'all got Westlake tomorrow.
Game of the year.
Everybody's talkin' about it.
Down to the last two undefeated teams.
Be easier if we still had you.
Yeah.
And who you got tomorrow? Hawthorne, a game nobody's talkin' about.
That's what happens when you lose more games than you win.
You guys'll be good, all right? You just got to turn things around.
Yeah, we'll be all right.
We're getting some test scores back tomorrow.
If we get some of our guys eligible to play, we might have a decent run at the playoffs.
Whoo! That's the game.
Oh, I'm praying JJ doesn't still have that crown.
Simone.
Dane.
What are you doing here? Oh, uh, Cam and I were just looking to - Start trouble? - No.
No, - it's not like that.
- We're just hungry.
I'm Cam, by the way.
Vanessa.
So, uh h-how you been? Are you serious? I'm good.
That's good.
So look, a-about the way everything went down You guys lost? Is that my guy, the one and only Spencer James? Yo, for someone who left Beverly Hills, you're, uh, you're always here, man.
Well, you know he can't show his face around Crenshaw with that last-place team.
Keep running your mouth, Cam.
Oh, you know I always will.
I was hoping we'd get to bust you up in the playoffs, but, uh, looks like you won't even be there, so Okay, when you guys are done, we'll be inside.
Okay, time to go.
Hey, it's good to see you! See you tomorrow night.
Oh, and yo, it's a good thing I transferred outta Crenshaw.
- I already got, like, 4 Schollie offers.
- Yeah.
How many you got, Big Spence? Hey, uh, you're not intimidated, are you are you, with me bein' Homecoming king? - No.
- Because you shouldn't be.
- I'm not.
- You know what me being king makes you, right? I'm really tired.
I'm gonna go.
- See you later? - All right.
Hey, dude, can I give you some friendly advice? Stop tryin' so hard.
Maybe you could talk to her for me.
- Oh, don't drag me into this.
- No, you know her better than anyone, right? Will you just put in a good word? Tell her that I'm more than the super-popular Homecoming king.
Dude I like her.
I'm not asking you to lie.
Just tell her I'm a good guy.
Fine.
I'll talk to her.
I owe you.
You want my crown? Heh! No.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, I hereby grant you knighthood.
Rrr! Huh? Ha ha! How's that? Heh heh! All right.
Heh! You're the man! Vanessa.
Oh, you need a ride? Uh, no.
I just wanted to talk to you.
Okay.
Sounds kinda serious.
Nah, no, not really.
It's about JJ.
You playing cupid? Heh! Sorta.
Look, I I know he comes off as - Childish? Heh! - He's got a heart of gold, and he's the most loyal person I know.
I'm waiting for someone else.
Vanessa, I I just don't think it's a good idea.
- Timing? - I know.
Timing will probably never be right for us.
But can you answer a question for me? The only reason we didn't kiss this summer was because of Olivia, and I respect that, but now we're both single, so what's stopping us from giving in to a kiss we're both curious about? Like right now? Doesn't hurt anyone.
It would hurt someone JJ.
I I I can't.
I want to, I do.
It's just It's cool.
Someday we'll get this bad timing thing worked out.
And when she needed me the most, I was right there by her side.
She still sends me thank-you cards.
Thank you, Nina, for telling us how good of a sponsor you are.
I just care so much.
You can sit down now, Nina, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Okay, there are some new faces here tonight, so does anyone want to introduce themselves? No? Okay.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Thank you.
Um, ahem.
Hi.
Sorry.
Do you do you remember me? I remember you.
Long way from home.
Yeah.
Um had a little relapse.
I didn't want to go to another fancy Malibu rehab center, so my parents and I thought that this would be the best setting for me.
Well, it's good that you're getting help, but it doesn't matter where the meeting is if you don't participate.
Good night.
Hey.
How'd it go? Think I just got scolded for not introducing myself.
Oh, well, it was your first meeting.
Next time.
How'd your meeting go? It was it was good, actually.
I I got a lot of, uh, perspective on what you're going through and how I can better support you.
Good night, Olivia.
- Call me.
- Bye.
- New friend? - Vampire.
- She seemed nice.
- She's very nice, but, like, - overly eager to sponsor, like a vampire? - Oh.
I just don't want to make another mistake and choose the wrong sponsor, you know? I think Leslie and I just became way too close.
- Hey, baby.
- Mornin'.
I already read that online.
- It's brutal, right? - Prove 'em wrong.
You get to the part they single me out? - No.
- They said I'm havin' a bad season, and that I haven't delivered on my promise.
- Forget this article.
- They're not wrong, though.
I did make that big public promise to save the school, and if we don't make the playoffs, I can't keep it.
- So make the playoffs.
- Hmm.
Yeah, rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' stone Is Patience around? Why? I have some legal documents I need her to sign.
Well, all right, just leave 'em with me, and she'll get 'em when she get 'em.
I can't just leave them with you; it's lawyer client confidentiality.
Or you just don't want me to see what shady nonsense you up to.
Are we still doin' this, Coop? Why should I change how I feel about you? You ain't changed.
I haven't changed from what, from when I used to run with gangs as a teen? Listen, I just know what you're about, all right? You got everyone else around here fooled, but not me.
Whatever.
Patience really does need to sign these papers.
Rollin' stone Rollin' stone, rollin' stone - Rollin' - Yo.
There he is, Sir Asher Adams.
- What? - I knighted you, remember? - For talking to Vanessa for me? - Right.
So how'd it go? Honestly, man, I I just don't think it's gonna happen.
W-What did she say? She's into someone else.
Did she say who? You.
Man, just how close did y'all get this summer? Wait.
No.
No, we didn't hook up.
I was with Liv.
And now you're not with Liv, so you want to be with Vanessa now? Man you made me look like an idiot for months, and the whole time, you were just waitin' to make your move? - Did something happen last night? - No.
No, I I mean, almost, but - Almost? - Dude! Whoa, whoa, chill.
I offered you my crown.
I knighted you, and you steal my girl? Hey, coach? Coach, you good? Ahem.
Test results.
They didn't make it.
Damn.
I know those guys worked real hard, man.
Hillis, Cobb, Johnson, Reid, and Boyd all are eligible to suit up for tonight's game.
You lyin'.
They passed.
- They passed.
- Ha! - Whoo! - Yeah.
You, uh, you want to tell 'em the good news? - Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
- Go for it.
Oh, hold up, hold up.
I have some, uh, some good news for you, too.
I asked 9 college coaches to come to the game.
Eight said yes, so you got to be great tonight, Spencer.
When's the last time I was great? In my senior year, your pops had a decent season.
Not as good as his junior year, but it was solid.
Heh! And then came the Homecoming game.
- He break out? - Let me tell you, he had the single-greatest game in Crenshaw history.
I couldn't even come close.
Nobody could.
Nobody did.
He had a record of 7 touchdowns.
- 7? - 7? Yeah, man.
I'm pretty sure the entire game was in slow motion for Corey that day.
I wish people remembered how good he was.
Nobody talks about it.
They don't even remember that record.
Well I got somethin' special planned for halftime.
After tonight everyone's gonna remember Corey James.
And if you play the way I know you can they gonna remember you, too.
Hey.
What's up? I got some, uh, papers here for Patience.
Are those what I think they are? Mmm, I don't know.
What do you even think they are? Finally! How did you get these? Mo.
So, wait, those are legit? Yeah, it's the final dissolution of Patience's contract with my dad.
Once she signs them, she's free.
I'm glad I brought 'em by.
I was about to sit on 'em for a while.
Hey, ladies.
How you doin' today? - Hey, Dad.
- Don't mind me.
- Just grabbin' a snack.
- Okay.
I'm glad Lil Jewel did the right thing - and made it up to Patience.
- Someone needed to.
Yeah, well, I mean, my dad must have felt bad, too.
He let Patience join the tour, even though she's not on the label.
More like "had no choice".
Am I missing something? No.
Look, forget it.
I gotta bounce, but I'll see you later, all right? Okay.
You better go easy, boy.
You don't want to burn yourself out.
- Got a big game tonight.
- Ah.
I'm good.
Helps calm my nerves.
What are you, uh, what are you doing here? I just wanted to give you a heads-up.
The head coach from Arizona State's comin' to watch y'all today.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
- Who are they comin' to see? - You.
Are you serious? - Heh! Yeah? - Yes.
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me.
I tried to get him to see my game, but he wanted to see you face off at Westlake.
- Heh! - Yeah.
Jordan, look at me.
It's time to show these cats what you can do.
Yeah.
- Hey.
- Coach Baker.
Dad, you know Coach Montes.
You're having a great season.
Oh, just picking up where you left off.
Helps to have Jordan.
Heh! Well, I'm gonna jump in the shower, but you two can keep saying - nice things about me if you want.
- Ha ha! Thank you, by the way, for the heads-up on Arizona State.
- Play good.
- Yes, sir.
You told him about A-State.
I did.
It'll motivate him to play great.
Or he'll tense up and play conservative, which is why I didn't tell him when I convinced the coach to come see him play.
You did that for Jordan? - He earned it.
- Huh.
Well, thanks for lookin' out for my son.
- Good luck tonight.
- You, too.
I never thought that I would relapse.
You know, I was I was actually happy.
You know, I was doing really well for a long time, and you know, the only reason that I took a drink was because I felt like everyone was leaving me.
You know, I had I had been there for everyone else, and suddenly, I just didn't matter to them.
Mmm Thank you, Olivia, okay? Well, that sounds like a good place for us to stop today, so I hope to see you all tomorrow, okay? Thank you.
Hey, that was so brave, and just so you know, it is not your fault Whose fault was it, then? - Uh - What? This wasn't about anybody leaving you.
You are going to find a reason to drink, no matter what.
Not true.
We've all been there.
Addiction is an illness, so you have to stop pretending other people did this to you.
Okay, well, I'm not pretending.
She's not pretending.
Nina? Okay.
Olivia, if you can't take responsibility for your relapse, then you're just wasting your time.
I just don't trust her.
I know she's up to somethin'.
Why are you still going on about Mo? You seem a little obsessed.
I'm not obsessed.
Oh, come on.
Flip told us she used to be bad news.
But people can change.
She got everyone fooled.
Does Flip got everyone fooled? Do you? 'Cause you both got a past.
We different.
I don't know.
It just seems like you might be doin' a little profilin'.
- You think I'm profiling Mo? - Maybe, because of who she used to be and who her brother was.
Come on, Coop, we got enough folks profilin' us.
We can't be doin' it to our own.
All right! Y'all gather round! Round it up! All right.
Y'all know what I see right now? I see a brand-new team.
We are finally operating at full strength.
So you know what that means? That means no excuses.
This right here is a team that they said would dominate the entire season, this team right here.
Now, I know a lot of y'all are startin' for the first time tonight.
I encourage you to look at this as an opportunity.
It's simple, y'all.
We lose one more time, and no more playoffs.
I said no more playoffs, so it's now or never, y'all.
It is time to put up or shut up.
- So my question is are y'all tryin' to get it? - Yeah.
- Uh-uh.
I said are y'all tryin' to get it? - Yeah! - I said are y'all tryin' to get it? - Yeah! Let's get it on me.
Let's get it on 3! 1, 2, 3! Let's get it! A must-win game tonight for the South Crenshaw Chargers if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
New kicker Nhani Rivers prepares for the kickoff.
Here's the matchup we've all been waiting for Beverly versus Westlake, the battle of the unbeatables.
Heads.
We want the ball.
Crenshaw's new place kicker shanks the opening kick.
What a disaster! Hawthorne's got the ball and they're goin' for it! Touchdown! Hey, hey, don't worry, y'all.
Weak arm! Weak arm! Go to work! Good field position.
Beverly's looking to strike first here.
Jordan Baker gets free and finds a receiver in the end zone.
Touchdown, Beverly! Yeah! Yeah! How's that for a weak arm, huh? - Hey, keep talkin' up, Baker! - We eatin' all night.
Yeah, yeah, come on! Keep it up! Sorry, coach.
We both know what you can do.
Next time, try kickin' it straight.
Hey.
We got your back.
Hawthorne lines up for the extra point.
Here's the snap and the kick And it's good! Puts Crenshaw at a disadvantage to start the game.
- Hey.
- What's up? Don't you got some Homecomin' football game to be at? Don't you? Mmm, kinda takin' a break from all that.
- Yeah, me, too.
- So what, you just in the neighborhood? Well, we didn't finish our conversation.
- I thought we did.
- No, you said my dad didn't have a choice about Patience joining Lil Jewel's tour and then kinda sprinted away.
I didn't sprint away.
It was more like a light jog.
What did he do, Coop? Nothin' you want to hear about.
No, I need to hear it, Coop.
I'm tired of people lying to me.
Why did my dad agree to let Patience on that tour? Spencer James gets a handoff on third down and is dropped for a big loss.
Hey.
Hey! What's goin' on? - Hawthorne's playing tough D.
- No, don't give me that.
You're playing tentative.
Now, I got 8 coaches out there in the stands.
What I tell you? - To be great.
- Okay.
- Hey, twist, twist! - Tie game.
Westlake is looking to add some points before the half.
- JJ, you're out of position! - Worry about yourself! Hey, you're leaving the middle open! Move over! Rrr! Complete breakdown by the Beverly defense.
Leaving the field wide open.
Touchdown, Westlake.
Dude! Get your head in the game! You got a problem with me, fine! I don't care! Do not sabotage this game over it! Nhani Rivers lines up for the extra point, a chance to redeem herself after the opening kickoff.
Good one! Happy Homecoming, South Crenshaw.
All right.
Thank you all for comin' out tonight and supportin'.
Uh, we're gonna try and change up this score in the second half.
But, uh, before that, we're gonna pay tribute to one of our own a former student here, former teammate of mine who played on this field Number 5, Mr.
Corey James.
We, uh, we lost Corey this past year.
Uh, he left us with with so much, including a school-record 7 touchdowns in one game.
Damn, your pops was cold.
Corey set that record at a Homecoming game, just like this one, 25 years ago.
Corey inspired me to become a better player.
Um so after tonight Corey's number 5 will officially be retired, but it will live on because we're placing his number right here on this field.
So Corey's retired numbers and touchdown records aren't the only legacies that he's leaving us with.
I believe that he's leaving us with something even better.
I believe that Corey's here tonight looking down on his greatest legacy of all.
Thank you.
Green 18, green 18! Spencer James takes the short pass Blows past the defense! Touchdown, Crenshaw! Crenshaw's offense is starting to click.
Deep pass for Spencer James.
Unbelievable catch in the end zone! - Yes! - Green 18! Spencer James with another incredible touchdown! He will not be denied today! Tie game, two minutes left.
Beverly's looking to take the lead.
Dane Kohler in pursuit, and he delivers a devastating blow to Jordan Baker! Here come the flags! This will be a targeting penalty.
- What's wrong? - Whoo! Let's hope Jordan Baker is okay.
Right, baby! That's right, fellas! All day, fellas, all day! You playin' like a cheat code right now.
- Finally got it rollin'.
- You realize what you just did? - What? - You just tied your pop's record.
That was your 7th touchdown tonight, and we got at least one more potentially, bro.
That's legendary, Spence.
It's legendary.
- Coach? - What's up? Look, we up 24.
You gotta take me out.
Uh-uh, we're gettin' you this record, young man.
No, man, my pops deserves that record.
He deserves to have people remember him.
I'm not takin' that from him.
Listen up.
If Corey were here in these stands, we both know he'd have tears in his eyes, and it wouldn't be because he lost his record.
It would be because that you would be breaking it.
He'd want this for you.
Go get it.
Ready! Green 18 green 18! He's at the 20, the 15, the 10 takes a knee at the 5.
Spencer could have broken the record.
He's gonna share the record with his pops.
Hey, Laura, what's happenin'? Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Slow down, slow down.
- Hey.
Is he in there? - He's, um - he's still not awake yet, but go, go in.
- Okay.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- Spencer, come on in.
- Okay.
Nurse Joy? You stalkin' me? No, um, my brother.
Oh, honey, the football player? Okay, I'm gonna see what I can find out, okay? - Thank you.
- All right, yeah.
Okay, I have a list of questions to ask the doctor.
Hi.
Uh, we're taking very good care of Jordan.
I have a few updates Um, have you have you ruled out bleeding in his brain? We're doing scans for that now.
And, uh, what about an MRI on his neck? - As soon as we rule out the bleeding.
- Okay, and Jordan had a concussion not that long ago, so have you checked for second-impact syndrome? - Baby, that's extremely rare.
- I didn't ask if it was common.
Uh, and what about his electrolytes? Dr.
Hodges, can I please talk to you privately? - I'm sorry.
Excuse me? - He's trying to give us updates on Jordan, but you won't stop reading your list of questions.
Yes, I understand.
I am his mother, and you're his friend, and I was allowing you to be here, but you can go home now, and I'll call you if anything changes.
I'm not going anywhere, and yeah, you are his mother, and I respect that, but wife trumps parent in this situation.
Jordan and I are married, and all I want to do right now is get an update from my husband's doctor.
Is that okay? I am in so much trouble.
- Well, I got your back.
- Thanks.
Heads up.
Did you know about this? - Yes.
- We were witnesses.
When did this happen? Vegas, over summer.
So you've been lying to me for months? - How did I lie? - Not telling me the biggest news of your brother's life is the same thing as lying! So, uh, the doctor is optimistic.
Based on what? Based on his medical expertise.
Are you guys okay? Don't worry about them.
I am worried about them.
Look, if you have a problem with me or my marriage to Jordan, then take it up with me, but just leave them out of it.
I do have a problem with you and your so-called marriage, but right now, I'm more concerned about keeping my son alive, okay? So I will deal with you later.
I am a black woman What's all this? We're organizing a rally for Tamika Pratt.
Man, it's crazy they still ain't arrested the cops that killed that girl.
- That's exactly why we're here.
- Can I help? Yeah.
Grab a blank sign.
What should I write? Anything you want to say.
What is Mo doing here? She's representing Tamika's family.
- Really? - Yes.
I just want to thank all of you, and the Pratt family appreciates your love and support.
Five months ago, their daughter Tamika was profiled, just like so many of us are profiled every single day.
All Tamika did was fall asleep in her car, and she ended up murdered.
How does that happen? We can't keep letting this happen to us, so we're gonna win this battle.
We have to.
What'd you write? It's gotta stop.
Hey, hey.
Fire's nice.
Grab a seat.
I'm good.
You know, Dad, um, I knew something didn't add up with the way you let Patience go so easily.
Wait, hold up.
I thought you wanted me to let her out of her contract.
Now, suddenly, you're upset that I did? Another affair with one of your artists? - Layla, careful.
- Lil Jewel is married, Dad.
- Unhappily.
- Oh, so that makes it okay? Come on! You are in a position of power over a female artist.
That goes beyond inappropriate to disgusting.
What did what did you do, give her Patience's song for services rendered? Okay, watch it, young lady.
You're turning this into something it's not.
First it was Chynna, then well, first it was Mom, when you were on tour.
- How many did I miss? - Who else am I supposed to date, Layla? I spend every waking minute in this world, and you know better than anyone else how much I've dedicated my life to making music, to being the best in this game.
Look sweetheart, I know that I haven't been the best dad, but for you to suggest that I would take advantage of a woman in the way that you're implying, it's it's just B.
S.
So, if some producer were to treat me that way, you'd be okay with that? My choice in artists is strictly business.
My choice in who I sleep with is unrelated.
Wow.
You you really think compartmentalizing it makes it okay? Newsflash.
It doesn't.
God.
Who are you, Dad? I feel like I don't even know you.
Oh, come on.
You're overreacting.
Am I? You know, maybe we were better off with you on the road and me parenting myself.
Oh, come Hey.
Hey.
Hmm.
Did we win? Oh.
Um, no.
Westlake hit a field goal in the last two seconds.
Damn it.
Um, I'm gonna bring your family in now, and just a heads-up - Hmm.
- They know.
They know what, babe? Everything.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Hey.
Mom, Dad, look, I'm I'm sorry, - all right, I didn't tell you guys.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
We'll talk about it later.
Yeah, we're just we're glad you woke up.
How long was I out? Too long.
We were so worried about you.
- We love you so much, baby.
- Mm-hmm.
I love you guys.
- Hey, you got a second? - I don't got time for whatever it is you about to accuse me of, Coop.
Come on.
It's not like that.
I'm just realizin' I'd never really given you a chance because of Tyrone, because of who you used to be.
That's not right, and clearly you've changed, and I'm just the last person to realize it, so I wanted to say I was sorry.
Thank you, Coop.
You're welcome.
So we good? Yeah, we're good.
All right, cool.
So what was that about? She finally let her guard down.
So, we completed some additional scans and determined that this was repeated damage, uh, clearly a second injury before the first one fully healed.
But that's impossible.
No, he passed all of his protocols, and recovered from that that first injury, right? No, I didn't, actually.
I I didn't pass the protocols.
I I I lied to you, to Coach Montes, to everybody.
I I I I've even had symptoms recently, that just this morning.
- Jordan.
- How could you risk everything? I I just wanted to play, Mom, that's all.
This is so reckless, Jordan, and did you know about this? I just found out today.
I'd like to speak to Jordan alone.
Okay.
Okay.
Thanks for the save, doc.
They were about to go nuclear.
Actually, um I wanted you to hear this from me first.
Okay.
Olivia? Olivia.
Hey, I've got some news.
I'm sure the doctors are telling your folks now, but your brother was real lucky.
- He was? - Mm-hmm.
No bleeding, no swelling.
So he's gonna be okay? Well, he did take a vicious hit, but the doctors are hopeful there's no long-term damage, so Thank you.
Long night, huh? Yeah.
You want to sit? I've been standin' all day.
If I sit now, I'll never get back up.
Hey, you got a sponsor yet? Gotta watch out for those vampires.
Actually, I I have found a sponsor - You.
- I wasn't offering.
- That's why I want you.
- Olivia, I'm not your friend.
- I don't need another friend.
- I thought they all left you.
I'm probably gonna regret this.
- So is that a yes? - As long as you take some responsibility for your actions.
See you tomorrow.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey, Ma.
How's Jordan? Uh, he's awake.
Yeah, I think he's gonna be a'ight.
Doctor says he was lucky.
Somebody should probably tell his teammates.
I'm sure the Eagles have taken over the whole lobby.
Ha ha! Yeah.
How's Laura holdin' up? Man, she pretty strong.
Yeah, I remember when you were in here.
It was the worst night of my life.
Hey, got through it, though.
Yeah.
I'm proud of you.
I have never seen you play like you did tonight.
7 touchdowns? Where did that come from? Everything about the game made sense tonight.
Hmm.
Something clicked.
And, uh, pops was with me out on that field.
And those 8 coaches that came to see you play? They all asked for a visit.
Not all at once, of course.
Heh! Wow.
God has a plan for you.
- I love you.
- I love you, too, Mom.
Hey.
Did you hear the good news? The doctor said there'll be no long-term damage.
- Yeah.
Yeah, he told me.
- Gonna be all right, buddy.
You're gonna be better than ever.
And back to annoying me.
Hey, what's goin' on? Um, well, the doctor told me he doesn't think I'll be able to play football again this year.
Dad, it's my it's my senior year.
There goes my entire future.
Greg, move your head!
