All American (2018) s05e18 Episode Script
This Is How You Do It
1
COOP: How long y'all think
this breakfast is gonna take?
Jaymee didn't say.
I got a presentation that
I don't wanna be late for.
OLIVIA: I can take you. Want to
check out the Spring Club Fair.
- LAYLA: Are you sick?
- COOP: More like Spencer told her
to reclaim her life,
so, now she wants to be
- Miss Golden Angeles University.
- LAYLA: Oh.
I simply realised that
I hadn't really given
being a college freshman a real shot.
So, I'm embracing college life.
- I give you a week.
- My money's on 3 days. Tops.
This is college Liv 2.0, OK? Just watch.
- COOP: Watching.
- JAYMEE: Hey. Sorry I'm late.
- OLIVIA: Mm!
- COOP: Yes!
- LAYLA: Oh.
- SINGERS: Come on, come on ♪
- Come on over ♪
- [SIGH]
Weren't you supposed to pick
up groceries yesterday, man?
[JORDAN GARGLES]
[SPITS, COUGHS]
I would've, but I got,
like, a tickle in my throat.
So, I was [COUGHS]
- ASHER: You guys hungry?
- JORDAN: Hey.
- SPENCER: What's up, bro?
- JORDAN: So,
what's the house meeting about today?
- Why did you say it like that?
- I
JJ told you guys, didn't he?
Asher and I are having a baby.
SINGERS: Come on over ♪
- COOP: What?
- [ALL LAUGHING, SCREAMING]
- SPENCER: We wanna hear it from you.
- JORDAN: Mm-hmm.
- This feels ridiculous now.
- JORDAN: C'mon. Just do it.
[ASHER SIGHS]
Jaymee's pregnant.
- JORDAN: No!
- SPENCER: No way!
[BOTH GRUNT]
- ASHER: You guys are idiots.
- SPENCER: Hey,
- what else are uncles for, bruh?
- [COUGHS] Oh, my God.
I'm gonna be an uncle.
And on that note, let's
get to practice, Uncle Buck.
- Come on.
- JORDAN: Ahem. Let's do it.
JORDAN: All right.
Thank God that is over.
'Cause I feel like I
got run over by a truck.
SPENCER: Yeah, for real.
Well, you coming down
with something, too?
What? Man, you still talking about
this damn "tickle in your throat"
after how awful we just
looked in that practice?
OK, well, I'm pretty sure
that I'm running a fever now.
But yeah, it seemed like nobody
was on the same page today.
More like all week, man.
Hey. J-A-U, baby, huh?
[LAUGHTER]
- KAI: Hey, bruh, sit your ass down.
- For real.
This ain't no joke, bruh.
What you think the J stands for?
It's a G, you dumbass.
Maybe it used to be.
But now I'm playing with walk-ons
and half the cast of "The Replacements."
So it sure feels like a damn joke.
- KAI: What you trying to do, bro?
- [PLAYERS TALKING AT ONCE]
JORDAN: Hey, hey, hey,
hey, Evan, chill, OK?
They had to sacrifice a
lot to play for this team.
The only reason they on this
team is because Jayden Davis
knee-capped our season with her article.
Watch your mouth, homie.
Why? We all know it.
Olivia Baker's the
reason we suck this year.
Not me. So I don't wanna
hear crap from her brother
or the guy who's tryna
act like a team captain
when we all know he quit
on us like two months ago.
[PLAYERS MURMURING]
PLAYER: Oh.
Condors, sit down and shut up!
This whole week has been trash.
And it's clear you've given
up on yourselves already,
so tell me why I shouldn't
give up on you, too.
You're out of sync.
You're not communicating.
And I promise you,
if y'all don't find a way
to get on the same page
and trust each other,
this is gonna be a
long and painful season.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
WOMAN: Hey. Heh! Yeah,
of course. Go ahead.
If you're not going to sign
up for our soup kitchen, honey,
I'm gonna have to ask
you to keep moving.
Oh, sorry. Uh, no, I
actually am interested.
I love you guys' advocacy work
and I actually have a
social justice podcast
and I was part of Sola Muse
for their community work so
Oh, you're a Cotillionaire?
We are, too! We're proud alums.
You can go on and sign.
- OLIVIA: OK.
- WOMAN: You're our kinda people.
You're Olivia Baker?
Heh! Last time I checked!
So, how does this work exactly?
We do community service and then
when do I have to decide
if I want to be online
Well, you don't get to
decide anything. We do.
And none of that gets
discussed publicly.
Not that I'd expect you
to understand, given that
confidentiality isn't
exactly your strong suit.
Right, Jayden Davis?
Let me guess.
You have a boyfriend
on the football team?
What I have on the football
team is none of your business.
All you need to know is that the Condors
were an institution here
until you got done with them.
And what, I'm supposed to let
you ruin Delta Rho Gamma, too?
Sign-up's full.
In closing, even though his
grandmother, Mrs. Garratt,
broke her hip after he
pulled away her lawn chair,
- Brian Dailey was just a kid who
- PROFESSOR HILL: The word "kid" is vague
and as far as the law is
concerned, largely meaningless.
Specificity is your
friend here, Ms. Cooper.
Brian Dailey was just 5 years old.
And as we've presented so far,
- there's been a ton of evidence.
- "A ton"?
No, I don't think so. Overly colloquial.
In a casual exchange, sure.
But in a court of law,
it's wholly inadequate.
Again, this time, use a
more legally rigorous word.
As we've shown in this trial,
there is a
Preponderance of evidence.
The word you're reaching for
is pre-ponderance, Ms. Cooper.
As in there's a
preponderance of evidence
that your group needs
"a ton" more preparation.
You'll have another chance Wednesday.
And Ms. Cooper, next
time, try not to slouch.
It makes you look sloppy.
Coach.
I just want to say my bad for
what happened earlier, man.
Real talk?
I'm less bothered by
you stepping up to Evan
than seeing you fall back.
I just didn't want to escalate things.
But the moment you
let that man check you
for quitting this team, you lost
credibility in that locker room.
And that's a problem for me, man,
because I was counting on you to lead.
Now, if this is some
kind of guilt thing,
I need you to know that I moved on.
And you need to do the same thing
because it's hurting the team.
It's not guilt.
It's not. It's just
If I didn't fall back,
I didn't know if I could
keep myself from knocking his ass out.
I'm still working on some
things with Dr. Spears.
Okay? I miss Coach Baker every day.
Hmm.
So, that's what this is.
I hear you, and I respect that.
You made the right call today.
But that doesn't change what
they saw in that locker room.
I got you. I'mma step up for sure.
That's my word. I won't let you down.
Evan is a pain in everybody's ass
but I really think Sal and Kai
can get along with him if they got
to know him outside of football.
Maybe I should throw something
here at the beach house.
See, you have a plan already.
It ain't like the team
ain't been here before.
And Sal and Kai were pissed and
I don't know if they'd let it go.
They would if you asked.
Kenny's not the only one
looking for you to lead.
Bet the whole team is.
Because you, Spencer, are a leader.
I wish people would stop
saying that. I'm just a guy.
You're not just a guy.
OK, what about a pool hangout
with the team at the Baker house?
Assuming it's cool with the girls.
Then I wouldn't have to cancel
dinner plans with my moms tonight.
Mm-hmm.
OK. All right. Let me see what they say.
Same thing Sal and Kai will say: Yes.
Because you are Spencer James.
Say that one more time.
- You are Spencer James.
- Mm.
[GIGGLES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- DAVITA: Liv! Hey.
- OLIVIA: Hey.
Haven't seen you in a minute.
Yeah, I've been a ghost, but
How do I get one of those outfits?
- DAVITA: Nice, right?
- OLIVIA: Yeah. Heh!
They're on loan from
a dope local designer
for our joint black student
union and West African
student association fashion show.
Although I might end up having
to sell them or something
to raise the money the fashion
show was supposed to raise
because we've lost so many
models to the flu this week.
A girl is getting desperate.
Damn. That sucks.
I mean, is there
anything I can do to help?
Hold up. Are you looking to join a club?
Because BSU would love to have you.
You know what? Sure.
I already bombed out with
Blair and Delta Rho Gamma
over the whole Jayden
Davis situation, so,
yeah, why why not BSU?
Wh wh what can I help
you with? Can I hand out flyers?
First of all, ignore
Blair's shallow ass.
Everything about her
is sus. Just saying.
And secondly, hell yes to helping out
BSU and the fashion show.
- Because you're desperate.
- No, because I like you.
And I trust you.
And you get stuff done.
OLIVIA: I do.
- DAVITA: All right.
- OLIVIA: Ha ha!
- DAVITA: Let's get you caught up.
- Cool.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- JORDAN: Hey. You came.
I didn't think I'd make it.
- LAYLA: Hi.
- JORDAN: Oh, God!
OK, Jordan, you have a cold, not Ebola.
No, I know, I know. I just
I figured I'd fall asleep or something.
Here's hoping you make it long
enough to finish your soup.
- Oh. [SNIFFS] Oh.
- Got it?
- Good?
- [COUGHING]
OK. OK.
Oh [PANTING]
Did you bring the vitamin-C gummies?
The ones with the stickers on them?
Wait, you were serious?
Jordan, I thought you were joking
because you're 19 and not 9.
I just got you, like,
regular cough syrup.
Oh, God, I hate cough syrup.
OK. Look. You fractured your hand,
you survived a serious concussion,
how is a cold your kryptonite?
Now you call me Superman? Yeah, OK.
[COUGHING]
OK, um, I have to go.
Take your medicine. OK? Come here.
Uh, hey, whoa, whoa. You
don't want what I got, lady.
I think I'll survive.
Feel better.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Babe, guess where I just came from.
Oh, my God!
Wait. I thought that who are you?
JAYMEE: Ash,
meet my sister Kaycee.
Yeah. Pretty sure we already met.
ASHER: Yeah. Uh, I'm
sorry. Nice to meet you.
Well, I promise he won't
be so weird at dinner.
You don't have plans, right, Ash?
- Just hanging out with you guys.
- JAYMEE: Cool.
KAYCEE: OK, I'm gonna go.
Uh, I'm really looking forward to it.
I've heard so much about you.
Heard a lot about you, too.
- KAYCEE: Jaymee.
- JAYMEE: Bye.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
I don't think your sister likes me.
Hey. Yo, Patience's new song is dope.
Tell me it's gon' be a part of her tour.
- SKYE: Mm.
- COOP: What?
I can't say her name? I
thought you two were cool now.
Yeah. No, totally, we're cool.
But, wow, your professor
must've really gotten to you
if you're listening
to music to destress.
Yeah, man. The part that
pissed me off the most
was when dude got on me about slouching.
Said I looked tired.
Which, he was right. I was.
I'm tired of his crap.
Ugh, I'm sorry.
And he doesn't talk to anyone
else in class like that?
No. He saves all his little
slick comments for me.
I mean, this fool called me sloppy.
I'm serving Laurence Fishburne
outta "The Matrix" and
you calling me sloppy?!
Wait, hold on. Is this the same guy
who got on you for using slang?
What? Just cuz we were on a break
means I can't ask Layla about you?
"Were" on a break? As in past tense?
Yeah, I was pissed, but you know,
you said you were
sorry and I accept that.
You know, people make mistakes, right?
I mean, you don't
expect me to be perfect?
No, of course not.
So, we're we're good, right?
You know, and about your professor,
it's just ignorance. Call it out.
Tell him you don't
appreciate his little tips.
I mean, you really
think that's gonna work?
- [CELLPHONE VIBRATES]
- I just got into his class.
What if he gets pissed
and decides to kick me out?
- COOP: Skye? Hello?
- SKYE: Uh, what?
You good?
Yeah. Totally cool.
[SIGH] You're here. Thank God!
For a second I thought I was
stuck with just the B-team.
[CHUCKLES]
Are these all BSU events?
Yep, and that's just
during the semester.
Every summer, we partner with
companies around the world
for this cultural exchange internship.
I actually think you'd be great for it.
You should apply
Or, judging from your
very sad face, not.
No, I just I can't believe
all the college stuff
I've been missing out on.
I mean, you all look like
you're having so much fun.
- DAVITA: Well, now you can have fun, too.
- WOMAN: The dry cleaner can't
- [WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]
- DAVITA: So call up another dry cleaners.
No, Jas, you can do
this. I'm empowering you.
You're empowered.
[FOOTSTEPS RETREAT]
[WINCES] See,
- B-team.
- Yeah.
- About that
- Sorry, girl,
parking was a nightmare but I'm here!
Davita, meet Kia.
When you said that fashion show peeps
were dropping like flies, I figured that
you could use even more help.
She is smart, fun,
and a fantastic dancer.
I am all those things.
And I am happy to dance
in your fashion show
under one condition.
I will seriously give you anything.
Olivia has to dance, too.
- OLIVIA: Fine.
- DAVITA: Wait.
- DAVITA AND KIA: Really?
- OLIVIA: Yeah, like I said.
- I'm a joiner now.
- OK.
Done and done.
Ladies, we've got 24 hours to finish
getting this fashion show on its feet
and down that runway. We got this.
- KIA: Yeah. We got this.
- OLIVIA: We got this.
[SQUEALING] OK! Ha!
JAYMEE: It was an awkward intro.
Doesn't mean she dislikes you.
[SIGHS] She's the first
family of yours I've met.
I want her to like me.
She kept giving me this look.
What "look"?
Like the one you gave JJ when he
tried to make devilled eggs drunk
the "you're screwing up so bad it's
not even worth mentioning" look.
Kaycee can be overprotective.
She just thinks we're too
young to have kids. That's all.
Don't worry about it.
Actually,
I've been wanting to talk to
you about moving in together.
I know we can't afford much but
I found some promising leads.
I love that you were looking. I do.
But I don't want you to rush
things to please my sister.
- If Kaycee has any reservations, then
- ASHER: So she does?
JAYMEE: I'm saying that if
she does, it's not our problem.
Once she sees how much you
care about me and our baby,
she'll be all in.
All right.
SPENCER: Coach Kenny's counting on me
and Evan didn't even show
up to the Baker house.
Look, I don't know these guys,
but from raising two boys,
I'd say gathering all that testosterone
in one place with nothing
else to do but to hang out,
that's more likely to turn into
a round two than mend fences.
Yeah, but I had to try something.
I can't let everything stay so heated.
- Heat isn't necessarily a bad thing.
- But you just said
- Never mind.
- Look.
You know how Micah and I
never had any fights, right?
- We still talking about the team?
- While I don't have a lot of sports experience,
I do know a lot about
relationship chemistry.
So you and Micah had good chemistry.
No. You and Micah had bad chemistry?
More like there was no conflict.
Now, d'Angelo and I,
that started with
- Wanted to kill each other.
- Yes, there was some heat
because we disagreed but
also because we cared.
You know, that passion
created a much deeper bond
in the long term.
I don't think that's
in the cards for us.
But you're probably right.
Evan does care more about this
team than I gave him credit for.
Figure out a way to convince them
to channel that conflict
towards the opposing team
instead of against each other.
That's that "fire" them
coaches be talking about
they want to see on the field, right?
Uh-oh, look at you with the sports talk.
- [CHUCKLING]
- GRACE: I mean
JAYMEE: Your car's still not here?
It's close but you head up.
I know you got an early day tomorrow.
Ash will stay with me.
Yeah. I got this, babe.
OK.
- JAYMEE: Great.
- KAYCEE: OK.
[GIGGLES] Well, good night.
- Good night. Love you.
- KAYCEE: Oh, lovely.
- Bye.
- JAYMEE: Bye.
- I love you. Good night.
- KAYCEE: Love you.
[SIGHS]
You really don't have to wait with me.
I just said that so she'd go and rest.
Go do whatever it is
that you do. [SIGHS]
Look, Kaycee,
I understand why you're
worried about Jaymee.
I know that we're young. I know that
I'm not exactly rolling in money,
but I love her, and I will
take care of her and our baby.
Says the guy who signed off on Jaymee
stopping her medications.
Lupus and pregnancy are a really
dangerous combination, you know.
[SIGH] Wait.
She didn't tell you, did she?
She told me that there were risks,
but why did she stop taking her meds?
For the baby.
And I I get why
she's worried about that.
But I'm worried about her.
And the fact that she
doesn't think she can
tell you about it says
everything I need to know
about how unprepared
you are for all of this.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES]
[SIGHS] That's my ride.
Look, Asher, you
you seem like an all right guy.
But that doesn't mean
you're ready to take care
of my sick sister and her child.
Sorry.
- SPENCER: Hey, hey.
- OLIVIA: Oh. Oh!
- Spencer, what are you
- You, uh, you probably shoulda taken two trips.
Yeah. Well, that's something that
caffeinated Liv might have considered,
but did you know coffee shops aren't
open just because you're awake?
- I do.
- Ha!
- What's all this?
- I'm helping Davita
set up for tonight's BSU fashion show.
- That's new.
- Well, you know, I'm trying to get involved more.
And you couldn't have picked a
club with more reasonable hours?
Not one that would accept Jayden Davis.
- That's messed up, Liv.
- Yeah, well,
can't really say I'm surprised, though.
And I heard that it came
up in the locker room.
I'm really sorry about that.
But everybody with half a brain knows
you exposed Garrett because you care.
- You did the right thing.
- Yeah, but I get it, though.
You know, they're disappointed because
the team that they bled for
now has a one-year bowl ban.
And it's easier to blame
the person who put them
on that road than Garrett,
who's no longer here.
Hey, it's all gonna blow over, OK?
- I promise.
- OLIVIA: Yeah.
Maybe.
Anyway, I can take these
the rest of the way.
You sure you don't need some more help?
Not unless you know
some healthy male models
with no plans tonight.
The flu knocked out the guys
that Davita had lined up.
- Ah.
- Get back to your run.
OK.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, you know what?
Maybe we can help each other out.
JAYMEE: What are you doing up so early?
You stopped taking your meds?
Jaymee.
Kaycee shouldn't have told you.
No. You should have told me.
It's between me and my doctor
You're putting your life at risk.
I have lived with lupus for years.
So please don't question my decis
I didn't think that I needed to.
I didn't think that you
would be so reckless.
See, this is why I didn't tell you.
Because you have no idea
what you're talking about.
You'd barely heard of
lupus before you met me,
now you're questioning
decisions I made with my doctor?
No.
I've had people tell me
how to manage my health
for as long as I can remember.
And if I'd let other people's
fears of what might happen,
dictate how I lived my life
I'd have never left home
Or met you.
- Jaymee, I just
- No, Ash.
I don't need another Kaycee in my life,
telling me to be afraid of living.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means you don't get a say in this.
Thanks for seeing me, Professor Hill.
Of course, Ms. Cooper,
but there really is
no need to apologise.
Excuse me?
Well, when I let you into my class,
I knew you'd require a little more help.
I don't mind putting in the extra work.
Wait, so you are treating me
different than the other students.
Well, if by different you mean
ensuring your success, sure.
Uh, look, Professor Hill,
I I did not come here to apologise.
I came here to say that I don't need
or want any special treatment,
all right, especially not when
it includes you calling me sloppy.
Do you know why I assign
the closing argument?
It's because by the time
a lawyer delivers it,
the jury has sat
through an entire trial.
And the only thing standing
between them and a verdict
is how each lawyer presents their case.
You ever stop to think that juries
are made up of people just like me?
Look, I get that you
think you're being helpful,
but nitpicking every word
that comes outta my mouth
is the opposite of helpful.
And I'd like it to stop.
All right.
I won't make the same mistake again.
You have my word.
And she just left?
Yeah. And I and I
don't know if she meant
that I have to be OK
with this or we're over.
Layla, am I being crazy?
For thinking this is a really big deal?
- No.
- [JORDAN GROANS, SNIFFLES]
But I also see where
Jaymee's coming from.
Like, she made her
decision with her doctor.
They both understand
the risks a lot better
than you or Jaymee's sister.
So I am being crazy.
Ash, I mean, she has the right
to make the decision
that's best for her.
And you have the right to
worry about the woman you love.
You guys are gonna
share a child together.
You need to talk to each other.
And, you know, I know she's
the one that shut you out, but,
you know, a lifetime of people
second-guessing her decisions
about her health probably taught her
not to include other people.
Habits are hard to unlearn.
So I just got to let this go?
Show her that you trust her.
Trust that she knows what's best.
I know it's scary.
All right. Thanks.
- I'm gonna head out.
- OK.
JORDAN: Hey, Ash. Real
quick before you leave.
What's up, J? Sorry to wake you.
No, no, you're good. But
I was just thinking
That's what you love about Jaymee.
- What is?
- That she's not afraid to live.
In addition to everything
Layla was saying,
don't forget that you love
that risk-taking part of
her that scares you so much.
I won't.
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah.
[FOOTSTEPS RETREAT, FRONT DOOR OPENS]
- You're cute.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- JORDAN: I am insightful
- LAYLA: Mm.
Is what I am, like a
chronically ill poet.
Again with the sick. [SNEEZES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
- KAI: What's up, man?
- SPENCER: What's up?
Y'all ready for some Shakespeare?
That's why we're in
this big-ass auditorium?
- Yeah, man, to be or not to be, homies.
- SAL: What's up, man?
Hey, yo, what he doing here?
Right. I thought we was going
to a lingerie fashion show.
- We are.
- Mm, kind of.
What's going on, Spence?
The BSU fashion show is tonight,
but they're short a few male models.
So as a favour to Liv and to BSU,
we're filling in.
[LAUGHTER]
You think I'mma do Jayden Davis a favor?
Heh. That's rich.
KAI: Hey, yo, putting aside
this whole fashion show thing
for a minute, me and
Sal already told you,
we ain't wasting no
more time on this clown.
SAL: Yeah, 'cause if he don't care about
GAU football team, that's on him.
EVAN: Hold up, I've
played more seasons at GAU
than the 3 of you combined.
And this school is a stop along the way
to the NFL for Spencer
and a second chance for you and Sal.
But for me, GAU is the last
team I'll ever play for.
This team is all I care about.
SPENCER: Listen to the man. He's right.
I mean, why else would
he still be at GAU
when he had every reason to leave?
I exposed Garrett.
And I don't regret it.
But I won't claim that it didn't hurt
the team's chances next year.
And I'm sorry that it
had to be your last year.
Appreciate that.
And I'm not saying I wish
Garrett was still here.
I certainly didn't wanna be
one of his crash-test dummies.
But I'm still not sure what
the point of all this is.
The point is everybody
here cares about GAU.
Sal and Kai have made sacrifices
and shown dedication in the
short time they been on this team.
And y'all
Y'all have shed blood, sweat,
and tears for 3 seasons, man.
The only person who's given any reason
to doubt their commitment is me.
Look, there's a lot of reasons behind
my decision to quit this team,
but it don't change the
fact that I did quit.
And I'm sorry about that.
But you know why I came back?
'Cause I wanna build
where everybody says we should break.
I wanna come back from this bowl ban
in a way nobody sees coming,
a way we can all be proud of.
You feel me?
- I can get with that.
- Yeah.
I feel you.
So we good?
[SIGHS] Yeah.
- MAN: Fo sure.
- EVAN: We here.
We good, man.
- Good, brother.
- EVANS: Brothers.
- It's all love, man.
- KAI: Yeah, yeah.
All love.
All right.
So now that that's settled, we
all best friends and whatnot,
we don't really need to do
this fashion show, right?
- SAL: Yeah, 'cause nobody feeling it.
- KAI: Right.
- Right?
- Damn.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
PLAYER: Ha ha!
- They're in the show?
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- ALL: We're in.
- Definitely.
All right, go get ready.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
- Just like that.
- Ah, boys.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
SAL: So, you know, I'm just saying,
green is definitely my favourite colour.
That's it, I need 10
feet between all models.
If you're close enough to
flirt, Sal, that's too close.
SAL: All right, all right.
Um, since when are you anti-flirting?
Since two of my dancers
got freaky in a broom closet
and gave each other the flu again!
Davita, breathe. Liv and I have
been putting out fires all day.
We'll just find somebody
else to replace them.
You don't get it. Kenan and
Lulu were my best dancers.
They were supposed to do
the king and queens finale.
You know, the climactic
number of the whole show.
Instead, they climaxed early,
and I've got nothing to show for it.
Well, I'm already in the finale number,
so why don't I just dance Lulu's part
and then Kia can dance my part?
We know the routine already.
DAVITA: OK, who is dancing Kenan's part?
- OLIVIA: Um
- KIA: I think I might have an idea for that.
PROFESSOR HILL: OK,
purple group, you're up.
Ahem.
Actually, Ms. Cooper, you can sit down.
After some thought, I decided Ms. Wilson
will present the closing
argument for the purple group.
Wait, Professor Hill, are you sure?
To the front of the class, Ms.
Wilson. We don't have all day.
Wait, so you're you're benching
me because I stood up for myself?
Oh, on the contrary, Ms. Cooper.
I'm just adhering to your wishes.
You were feeling picked on,
so I picked someone else.
Babe.
Thank you for coming.
You didn't text back.
Olivia invited me.
You're not wearing any pants.
Uh, yeah, they're in the dryer.
- OK.
- Look, I need to talk to you.
[SIGHS] We don't have time,
and I really don't want
- to do this right now.
- ASHER: No, no, no, please.
Please, this is too important,
and it won't take long.
Jaymee, I love you.
Decisions about your
health are are yours.
And I shouldn't have questioned that.
We're about to share a child,
and I can't be a real partner to you
if you keep me in the dark,
especially with the hard stuff.
You're going to need people
to share the responsibilities.
And I'm here I'm
here to be one of them.
Because as scared as I was this morning,
the thing that I love the most about you
is the way you embrace life.
And I never want to be another
Kaycee in your life saying that
that you should be
afraid just because
Yeah, Kaycee's coming with
us to the fashion show.
Oh.
I'm gonna finish getting dressed.
- OK. [GIGGLES]
- Yeah.

I'll holla at y'all.
No, but for real,
thank you guys so much.
I needed this.

She's right.
Tonight was
The most fun I've had

- Where's Jaymee?
Um, she'll be here in a second.
But before that, I wanted to say
that I heard what you said today.
[SIGHS] Yeah. I'm I'm sorry
This isn't easy for me, so just listen.
I don't agree with Jaymee's decision.
And I'll never stop
worrying about my sister.
But I'm glad to
know Jaymee's got people
who support her through
the good and the bad.
And you proved to be more than expected.
Thanks.
Uh, why did you bring your suitcase?
It's not mine.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
So, after some careful consideration,
I have decided that living together
is actually a pretty great idea.
But I don't want to take
you from your village,
and we need to save money,
which is why I accepted
Jordan and Spencer's
offer for us to stay here
and keep living with them for a while.

JORDAN: Hey, hey, hey,
hey, Evan, chill, OK?
They had to sacrifice a
lot to play for this team.
The only reason they on this
team is because Jayden Davis
knee-capped our season with her article.
Watch your mouth, homie.
Why? We all know it.
Olivia Baker's the
reason we suck this year.
Not me. So I don't wanna
hear crap from her brother
or the guy who's tryna
act like a team captain
when we all know he quit
on us like two months ago.
[PLAYERS MURMURING]
PLAYER: Oh.
Condors, sit down and shut up!
This whole week has been trash.
And it's clear you've given
up on yourselves already,
so tell me why I shouldn't
give up on you, too.
You're out of sync.
You're not communicating.
And I promise you,
if y'all don't find a way
to get on the same page
and trust each other,
this is gonna be a
long and painful season.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
WOMAN: Hey. Heh! Yeah,
of course. Go ahead.
If you're not going to sign
up for our soup kitchen, honey,
I'm gonna have to ask
you to keep moving.
Oh, sorry. Uh, no, I
actually am interested.
I love you guys' advocacy work
and I actually have a
social justice podcast
and I was part of Sola Muse
for their community work so
Oh, you're a Cotillionaire?
We are, too! We're proud alums.
You can go on and sign.
- OLIVIA: OK.
- WOMAN: You're our kinda people.
You're Olivia Baker?
Heh! Last time I checked!
So, how does this work exactly?
We do community service and then
when do I have to decide
if I want to be online
Well, you don't get to
decide anything. We do.
And none of that gets
discussed publicly.
Not that I'd expect you
to understand, given that
confidentiality isn't
exactly your strong suit.
Right, Jayden Davis?
Let me guess.
You have a boyfriend
on the football team?
What I have on the football
team is none of your business.
All you need to know is that the Condors
were an institution here
until you got done with them.
And what, I'm supposed to let
you ruin Delta Rho Gamma, too?
Sign-up's full.
In closing, even though his
grandmother, Mrs. Garratt,
broke her hip after he
pulled away her lawn chair,
- Brian Dailey was just a kid who
- PROFESSOR HILL: The word "kid" is vague
and as far as the law is
concerned, largely meaningless.
Specificity is your
friend here, Ms. Cooper.
Brian Dailey was just 5 years old.
And as we've presented so far,
- there's been a ton of evidence.
- "A ton"?
No, I don't think so. Overly colloquial.
In a casual exchange, sure.
But in a court of law,
it's wholly inadequate.
Again, this time, use a
more legally rigorous word.
As we've shown in this trial,
there is a
Preponderance of evidence.
The word you're reaching for
is pre-ponderance, Ms. Cooper.
As in there's a
preponderance of evidence
that your group needs
"a ton" more preparation.
You'll have another chance Wednesday.
And Ms. Cooper, next
time, try not to slouch.
It makes you look sloppy.
Coach.
I just want to say my bad for
what happened earlier, man.
Real talk?
I'm less bothered by
you stepping up to Evan
than seeing you fall back.
I just didn't want to escalate things.
But the moment you
let that man check you
for quitting this team, you lost
credibility in that locker room.
And that's a problem for me, man,
because I was counting on you to lead.
Now, if this is some
kind of guilt thing,
I need you to know that I moved on.
And you need to do the same thing
because it's hurting the team.
It's not guilt.
It's not. It's just
If I didn't fall back,
I didn't know if I could
keep myself from knocking his ass out.
I'm still working on some
things with Dr. Spears.
Okay? I miss Coach Baker every day.
Hmm.
So, that's what this is.
I hear you, and I respect that.
You made the right call today.
But that doesn't change what
they saw in that locker room.
I got you. I'mma step up for sure.
That's my word. I won't let you down.
Evan is a pain in everybody's ass
but I really think Sal and Kai
can get along with him if they got
to know him outside of football.
Maybe I should throw something
here at the beach house.
See, you have a plan already.
It ain't like the team
ain't been here before.
And Sal and Kai were pissed and
I don't know if they'd let it go.
They would if you asked.
Kenny's not the only one
looking for you to lead.
Bet the whole team is.
Because you, Spencer, are a leader.
I wish people would stop
saying that. I'm just a guy.
You're not just a guy.
OK, what about a pool hangout
with the team at the Baker house?
Assuming it's cool with the girls.
Then I wouldn't have to cancel
dinner plans with my moms tonight.
Mm-hmm.
OK. All right. Let me see what they say.
Same thing Sal and Kai will say: Yes.
Because you are Spencer James.
Say that one more time.
- You are Spencer James.
- Mm.

They're on loan from
a dope local designer
for our joint black student
union and West African
student association fashion show.
Although I might end up having
to sell them or something
to raise the money the fashion
show was supposed to raise
because we've lost so many
models to the flu this week.
A girl is getting desperate.
Damn. That sucks.
I mean, is there
anything I can do to help?
Hold up. Are you looking to join a club?
Because BSU would love to have you.
You know what? Sure.
I already bombed out with
Blair and Delta Rho Gamma
over the whole Jayden
Davis situation, so,
yeah, why why not BSU?
Wh wh what can I help
you with? Can I hand out flyers?
First of all, ignore
Blair's shallow ass.
Everything about her
is sus. Just saying.
And secondly, hell yes to helping out

to music to destress.

pissed me off the most
was when dude got on me about slouching.
Said I looked tired.
Which, he was right. I was.
I'm tired of his crap.
Ugh, I'm sorry.
And he doesn't talk to anyone
else in class like that?
No. He saves all his little
slick comments for me.
I mean, this fool called me sloppy.
I'm serving Laurence Fishburne
outta "The Matrix" and
you calling me sloppy?!
Wait, hold on. Is this the same guy
who got on you for using slang?
What? Just cuz we were on a break
means I can't ask Layla about you?
"Were" on a break? As in past tense?
Yeah, I was pissed, but you know,
you said you were
sorry and I accept that.
You know, people make mistakes, right?
I mean, you don't
expect me to be perfect?
No, of course not.
So, we're we're good, right?
You know, and about your professor,
it's just ignorance. Call it out.
Tell him you don't
appreciate his little tips.
I mean, you really
think that's gonna work?

What if he gets pissed
and decides to kick me out?

Yep, and that's just

companies around the world

under one condition.
I will seriously give you anything.
Olivia has to dance, too.
- OLIVIA: Fine.
- DAVITA: Wait.
- DAVITA AND KIA: Really?
- OLIVIA: Yeah, like I said.
- I'm a joiner now.
- OK.
Done and done.
Ladies, we've got 24 hours to finish
getting this fashion show on its feet
and down that runway. We got this.
- KIA: Yeah. We got this.
- OLIVIA: We got this.
[SQUEALING] OK! Ha!
JAYMEE: It was an awkward intro.
Doesn't mean she dislikes you.
[SIGHS] She's the first
family of yours I've met.
I want her to like me.
She kept giving me this look.
What "look"?
Like the one you gave JJ when he
tried to make devilled eggs drunk
the "you're screwing up so bad it's
not even worth mentioning" look.
Kaycee can be overprotective.
She just thinks we're too
young to have kids. That's all.
Don't worry about it.
Actually,
I've been wanting to talk to
you about moving in together.
I know we can't afford much but
I found some promising leads.
I love that you were looking. I do.
But I don't want you to rush
things to please my sister.
- If Kaycee has any reservations, then
- ASHER: So she does?
JAYMEE: I'm saying that if
she does, it's not our problem.
Once she sees how much you
care about me and our baby,
she'll be all in.
All right.
SPENCER: Coach Kenny's counting on me
and Evan didn't even show
up to the Baker house.
Look, I don't know these guys,
but from raising two boys,
I'd say gathering all that testosterone
in one place with nothing
else to do but to hang out,
that's more likely to turn into
a round two than mend fences.
Yeah, but I had to try something.
I can't let everything stay so heated.
- Heat isn't necessarily a bad thing.
- But you just said
- Never mind.
- Look.
You know how Micah and I
never had any fights, right?
- We still talking about the team?
- While I don't have a lot of sports experience,
I do know a lot about
relationship chemistry.
So you and Micah had good chemistry.
No. You and Micah had bad chemistry?
More like there was no conflict.
Now, d'Angelo and I,
that started with
- Wanted to kill each other.
- Yes, there was some heat
because we disagreed but
also because we cared.
You know, that passion
created a much deeper bond
in the long term.
I don't think that's
in the cards for us.
But you're probably right.
Evan does care more about this
team than I gave him credit for.
Figure out a way to convince them
to channel that conflict
towards the opposing team
instead of against each other.
That's that "fire" them
coaches be talking about
they want to see on the field, right?
Uh-oh, look at you with the sports talk.
- [CHUCKLING]
- GRACE: I mean
JAYMEE: Your car's still not here?
It's close but you head up.
I know you got an early day tomorrow.
Ash will stay with me.
Yeah. I got this, babe.
OK.
- JAYMEE: Great.
- KAYCEE: OK.
[GIGGLES] Well, good night.
- Good night. Love you.
- KAYCEE: Oh, lovely.
- Bye.
- JAYMEE: Bye.
- I love you. Good night.
- KAYCEE: Love you.
[SIGHS]
You really don't have to wait with me.
I just said that so she'd go and rest.
Go do whatever it is
that you do. [SIGHS]
Look, Kaycee,
I understand why you're
worried about Jaymee.
I know that we're young. I know that
I'm not exactly rolling in money,
but I love her, and I will
take care of her and our baby.
Says the guy who signed off on Jaymee
stopping her medications.
Lupus and pregnancy are a really
dangerous combination, you know.
[SIGH] Wait.
She didn't tell you, did she?
She told me that there were risks,
but why did she stop taking her meds?
For the baby.
And I I get why
she's worried about that.
But I'm worried about her.
And the fact that she
doesn't think she can
tell you about it says
everything I need to know
about how unprepared
you are for all of this.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES]
[SIGHS] That's my ride.
Look, Asher, you
you seem like an all right guy.
But that doesn't mean
you're ready to take care
of my sick sister and her child.
Sorry.
- SPENCER: Hey, hey.
- OLIVIA: Oh. Oh!
- Spencer, what are you
- You, uh, you probably shoulda taken two trips.
Yeah. Well, that's something that
caffeinated Liv might have considered,
but did you know coffee shops aren't
open just because you're awake?
- I do.
- Ha!
- What's all this?
- I'm helping Davita
set up for tonight's BSU fashion show.
- That's new.
- Well, you know, I'm trying to get involved more.
And you couldn't have picked a
club with more reasonable hours?
Not one that would accept Jayden Davis.
- That's messed up, Liv.
- Yeah, well,
can't really say I'm surprised, though.
And I heard that it came
up in the locker room.
I'm really sorry about that.
But everybody with half a brain knows
you exposed Garrett because you care.
- You did the right thing.
- Yeah, but I get it, though.
You know, they're disappointed because
the team that they bled for
now has a one-year bowl ban.
And it's easier to blame
the person who put them
on that road than Garrett,
who's no longer here.
Hey, it's all gonna blow over, OK?
- I promise.
- OLIVIA: Yeah.
Maybe.
Anyway, I can take these
the rest of the way.
You sure you don't need some more help?
Not unless you know
some healthy male models
with no plans tonight.
The flu knocked out the guys
that Davita had lined up.
- Ah.
- Get back to your run.
OK.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, you know what?
Maybe we can help each other out.
JAYMEE: What are you doing up so early?
You stopped taking your meds?
Jaymee.
Kaycee shouldn't have told you.
No. You should have told me.
It's between me and my doctor
You're putting your life at risk.
I have lived with lupus for years.
So please don't question my decis
I didn't think that I needed to.
I didn't think that you
would be so reckless.
See, this is why I didn't tell you.
Because you have no idea
what you're talking about.
You'd barely heard of
lupus before you met me,
now you're questioning
decisions I made with my doctor?
No.
I've had people tell me
how to manage my health
for as long as I can remember.
And if I'd let other people's
fears of what might happen,
dictate how I lived my life
I'd have never left home
Or met you.
- Jaymee, I just
- No, Ash.
I don't need another Kaycee in my life,
telling me to be afraid of living.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means you don't get a say in this.
Thanks for seeing me, Professor Hill.
Of course, Ms. Cooper,
but there really is
no need to apologise.
Excuse me?
Well, when I let you into my class,
I knew you'd require a little more help.
I don't mind putting in the extra work.
Wait, so you are treating me
different than the other students.
Well, if by different you mean
ensuring your success, sure.
Uh, look, Professor Hill,
I I did not come here to apologise.
I came here to say that I don't need
or want any special treatment,
all right, especially not when
it includes you calling me sloppy.
Do you know why I assign
the closing argument?
It's because by the time
a lawyer delivers it,
the jury has sat
through an entire trial.
And the only thing standing
between them and a verdict
is how each lawyer presents their case.
You ever stop to think that juries
are made up of people just like me?
Look, I get that you
think you're being helpful,
but nitpicking every word
that comes outta my mouth
is the opposite of helpful.
And I'd like it to stop.
All right.
I won't make the same mistake again.
You have my word.
And she just left?
Yeah. And I and I
don't know if she meant
that I have to be OK
with this or we're over.
Layla, am I being crazy?
For thinking this is a really big deal?
- No.
- [JORDAN GROANS, SNIFFLES]
But I also see where
Jaymee's coming from.
Like, she made her
decision with her doctor.
They both understand
the risks a lot better
than you or Jaymee's sister.
So I am being crazy.
Ash, I mean, she has the right
to make the decision
that's best for her.
And you have the right to
worry about the woman you love.
You guys are gonna
share a child together.
You need to talk to each other.
And, you know, I know she's
the one that shut you out, but,
you know, a lifetime of people
second-guessing her decisions
about her health probably taught her
not to include other people.
Habits are hard to unlearn.
So I just got to let this go?
Show her that you trust her.
Trust that she knows what's best.
I know it's scary.
All right. Thanks.
- I'm gonna head out.
- OK.
JORDAN: Hey, Ash. Real
quick before you leave.
What's up, J? Sorry to wake you.
No, no, you're good. But
I was just thinking
That's what you love about Jaymee.
- What is?
- That she's not afraid to live.
In addition to everything
Layla was saying,
don't forget that you love
that risk-taking part of
her that scares you so much.
I won't.
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah.
[FOOTSTEPS RETREAT, FRONT DOOR OPENS]
- You're cute.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- JORDAN: I am insightful
- LAYLA: Mm.
Is what I am, like a
chronically ill poet.
Again with the sick. [SNEEZES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
- KAI: What's up, man?
- SPENCER: What's up?
Y'all ready for some Shakespeare?
That's why we're in
this big-ass auditorium?
- Yeah, man, to be or not to be, homies.
- SAL: What's up, man?
Hey, yo, what he doing here?
Right. I thought we was going
to a lingerie fashion show.
- We are.
- Mm, kind of.
What's going on, Spence?
The BSU fashion show is tonight,
but they're short a few male models.
So as a favour to Liv and to BSU,
we're filling in.
[LAUGHTER]
You think I'mma do Jayden Davis a favor?
Heh. That's rich.
KAI: Hey, yo, putting aside
this whole fashion show thing
for a minute, me and
Sal already told you,
we ain't wasting no
more time on this clown.
SAL: Yeah, 'cause if he don't care about
GAU football team, that's on him.
EVAN: Hold up, I've
played more seasons at GAU
than the 3 of you combined.
And this school is a stop along the way
to the NFL for Spencer
and a second chance for you and Sal.
But for me, GAU is the last
team I'll ever play for.
This team is all I care about.
SPENCER: Listen to the man. He's right.
I mean, why else would
he still be at GAU
when he had every reason to leave?
I exposed Garrett.
And I don't regret it.
But I won't claim that it didn't hurt
the team's chances next year.
And I'm sorry that it
had to be your last year.
Appreciate that.
And I'm not saying I wish
Garrett was still here.
I certainly didn't wanna be
one of his crash-test dummies.
But I'm still not sure what
the point of all this is.
The point is everybody
here cares about GAU.
Sal and Kai have made sacrifices
and shown dedication in the
short time they been on this team.
And y'all
Y'all have shed blood, sweat,
and tears for 3 seasons, man.
The only person who's given any reason
to doubt their commitment is me.
Look, there's a lot of reasons behind
my decision to quit this team,
but it don't change the
fact that I did quit.
And I'm sorry about that.
But you know why I came back?
'Cause I wanna build
where everybody says we should break.
I wanna come back from this bowl ban
in a way nobody sees coming,
a way we can all be proud of.
You feel me?
- I can get with that.
- Yeah.
I feel you.
So we good?
[SIGHS] Yeah.
- MAN: Fo sure.
- EVAN: We here.
We good, man.
- Good, brother.
- EVANS: Brothers.
- It's all love, man.
- KAI: Yeah, yeah.
All love.
All right.
So now that that's settled, we
all best friends and whatnot,
we don't really need to do
this fashion show, right?
- SAL: Yeah, 'cause nobody feeling it.
- KAI: Right.
- Right?
- Damn.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
PLAYER: Ha ha!
- They're in the show?
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- ALL: We're in.
- Definitely.
All right, go get ready.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
- Just like that.
- Ah, boys.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
SAL: So, you know, I'm just saying,
green is definitely my favourite colour.
That's it, I need 10
feet between all models.
If you're close enough to
flirt, Sal, that's too close.
SAL: All right, all right.
Um, since when are you anti-flirting?
Since two of my dancers
got freaky in a broom closet
and gave each other the flu again!
Davita, breathe. Liv and I have
been putting out fires all day.
We'll just find somebody
else to replace them.
You don't get it. Kenan and
Lulu were my best dancers.
They were supposed to do
the king and queens finale.
You know, the climactic
number of the whole show.
Instead, they climaxed early,
and I've got nothing to show for it.
Well, I'm already in the finale number,
so why don't I just dance Lulu's part
and then Kia can dance my part?
We know the routine already.
DAVITA: OK, who is dancing Kenan's part?
- OLIVIA: Um
- KIA: I think I might have an idea for that.
PROFESSOR HILL: OK,
purple group, you're up.
Ahem.
Actually, Ms. Cooper, you can sit down.
After some thought, I decided Ms. Wilson
will present the closing
argument for the purple group.
Wait, Professor Hill, are you sure?
To the front of the class, Ms.
Wilson. We don't have all day.
Wait, so you're you're benching
me because I stood up for myself?
Oh, on the contrary, Ms. Cooper.
I'm just adhering to your wishes.
You were feeling picked on,
so I picked someone else.
Babe.
Thank you for coming.
You didn't text back.
Olivia invited me.
You're not wearing any pants.
Uh, yeah, they're in the dryer.
- OK.
- Look, I need to talk to you.
[SIGHS] We don't have time,
and I really don't want
- to do this right now.
- ASHER: No, no, no, please.
Please, this is too important,
and it won't take long.
Jaymee, I love you.
Decisions about your
health are are yours.
And I shouldn't have questioned that.
We're about to share a child,
and I can't be a real partner to you
if you keep me in the dark,
especially with the hard stuff.
You're going to need people
to share the responsibilities.
And I'm here I'm
here to be one of them.
Because as scared as I was this morning,
the thing that I love the most about you
is the way you embrace life.
And I never want to be another
Kaycee in your life saying that
that you should be
afraid just because
Yeah, Kaycee's coming with
us to the fashion show.
Oh.
I'm gonna finish getting dressed.
- OK. [GIGGLES]
- Yeah.
