WE GOT TO BOUNCE BEFORE MONTES SHOWS UP FOR MORNING PRACTICE.
DAWG, I WISH SHE COULDA SEEN THIS.
YOU KEEP FIRIN' OFF LIKE THAT, YOU GONNA BE READY TO GET BACK
ON THIS FIELD IN NO TIME.
TECHNICALLY, I CAN NOW. I GOT MY LATEST CAT SCAN
RESULT BACK LAST NIGHT, AND, UH, THEY LOOK GOOD.
DOC'S FINALLY CLEARED ME TO PLAY AGAIN.
WHAT? CONGRATS, MAN! HOW COME YOU AIN'T LEAD WITH THAT?
HONESTLY, I JUST-- MY FUTURE'S JUST BEEN UP IN THE AIR
FOR SO LONG, I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER PLAY AGAIN.
NOW WE'RE HEADED INTO OUR LAST PLAYOFF GAME FOR OUR SHOT
TO PLAY YOU GUYS IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
IT'S--IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE, SO I GUESS THE SHORT ANSWER IS--
YOU'RE SCARED.
THAT'S WHY YOU'VE GOT ME.
I'MMA MAKE SURE Y'ALL MEET US AT STATE
'CAUSE I WANT NO EXCUSES WHEN WE BEAT Y'ALL.
THANKS, SPENCE.
YOU DO KNOW THAT YOUR TEAMMATES ARE GONNA BE PISSED AS HELL
IF THEY FIND OUT YOU WERE HELPING THE ENEMY, RIGHT?
LOOK, YOU MY BROTHER ABOVE ALL ELSE.
I'MMA MAKE SURE YOU GOOD. BESIDES,
BESIDES, THEY AIN'T GONNA FIND OUT.
SO FULL RIDE TO TOLEDO STATE, RIGHT?
YEAH, YOU MUST BE EXCITED. YEAH.
YEAH, IT'S JUST... OHIO, MAN.
THAT'S A LONG WAY FROM HOME.
IS THIS ABOUT YOUR MOM AND DILLON OR WHAT?
DILLON ALREADY LOST POPS--TWICE--AND THEN DARNELL LEFT.
I--I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN LEAVE HIM, TOO.
I MEAN, HE'S GOT MS. GRACE, HE'S GOT ME,
HE'S GOT MY FAMILY, HE'S GOT COOP.
COOP AND I AIN'T TALKIN' THAT MUCH.
OK, SO THEN FIX THAT.
I MEAN, NOT JUST FOR D, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO MOVE AWAY
AND LEAVE UNRESOLVED ISSUES AND BAD BLOOD.
TRUST ME.
1, 2, 3, GO!
♪ LET'S GO, LET'S GO, GET READY, READY FOR IT ♪
♪ THAT'S JUST THE WAY WE ROLL ♪ HIGHER!
IF I PUSH YOU ANY HIGHER, YOU GONNA WRAP AROUND THE BAR.
IT'S MY MOM.
LOOK, AMINA,
I LOVE SPENDIN' TIME GETTIN' TO KNOW YOU,
BUT WE CAN'T KEEP SNEAKIN' AROUND MO.
WHY NOT? SHE KEPT ME A SECRET FROM YOU FOR 10 YEARS.
WE'VE ONLY KEPT OUR SECRET FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.
BUT I DON'T OPERATE LIKE THAT.
KEEPIN' IT 100 IS A SIGN OF CHARACTER.
BUT IF YOU TELL HER, SHE'LL SEND ME BACK TO PHILADELPHIA.
AIN'T NOBODY SENDIN' YOU NOWHERE.
I WON'T LET YOUR MOM OR ANYBODY
TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME, EVER, YOU HEAR ME?
LAST THING-- UH, FOR FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAME,
JJ WILL BE STARTING AS OUR QB1.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
FINISH SUITING UP, MEET ME ON THE FIELD IN 10.
OK. ALL RIGHT. COACH.
HEY, COACH? YES?
UM, I WAS CLEARED THIS MORNING. WHY--WHY AREN'T YOU STARTING ME?
I KNOW YOU'RE ANXIOUS TO GET BACK ON THE FIELD,
BUT IT'S TOO SHORT-NOTICE. YOU'RE NOT CLEARED BY ME.
-COACH, I'M--I'M READY. -JJ's BEEN PRACTICING WITH THE TEAM,
HE KNOWS ALL THE PLAYS. I WANT YOU TO SIT OUT ONE MORE GAME
SO I CAN MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY. OK, BUT I'VE BEEN--
THERE WON'T BE A NEXT GAME IF I DON'T START IN THIS ONE.
AND YET, SOMEHOW WE MANAGED TO MAKE IT THROUGH
THE PLAYOFFS TO THIS FINAL GAME WITHOUT YOU.
-OK, I--I JUST MEANT THAT-- -I KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT,
AND IF YOU'RE SO WORRIED ABOUT US MAKING IT TO STATE,
THEN I SUGGEST YOU BE A TEAM PLAYER AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN
TO HELP JJ GET US THERE.
OH, HO! WHAT?
WATCHIN' MOVIES AIN'T BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT YOUR NONSTOP COMMENTARY.
YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW. HEY.
WELCOME HOME.
THANK YOU.
-WHAT'S UP, COOP? -WHAT'S UP?
OK, WELL, I AM GONNA DROP OFF THIS HOMEWORK,
SO Y'ALL CAN JUST...
KEEP DOING WHATEVER THIS IS, SO...OK.
THANK YOU FOR EXECUTIN' OUR BIRTHDAY LIST, TOO.
OH, OF COURSE. COULDN'T MISS YOUR 18th.
USE THOSE SKY-DIVIN' TICKETS YET?
NO. ME AND PATIENCE GOING NEXT WEEK.
FA SHO. THAT'S DOPE.
MAN, SOUTH CRENSHAW
ON THEIR WAY TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
CONGRATS, AND I HEARD ABOUT THE OFFER FROM TOLEDO.
LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS COMIN' TOGETHER JUST HOW YOU PLANNED.
HEH! NOT EVERYTHING.
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT TOLEDO STATE.
JUST TWO YEARS AGO, YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU WOULD MAKE IT TO A D1.
THAT DON'T SOUND TOUGH TO ME.
HEY.
AHEM.
-LOOK, WE GOTTA GO. -MM-HMM.
UM, I'M HAVING A FRIENDSGIVING THING TOMORROW NIGHT,
AND IT'S MANDATORY, SO WE'LL SEE YOU THERE?
-I GUESS I AIN'T GOT NO CHOICE. -NOPE,
SO I WILL TEXT YOU ALL THE DETAILS AND, UM,
YEAH, I'LL SEE YOU THERE. BYE.
♪ LOOKIN' THROUGH THE LENS, WHAT DO YOU SEE? ♪
HEY, YOU READY FOR THIS GAME?
MAN, I STAY READY.
JJ, I'M SERIOUS.
I'VE BEEN WORKIN' MY ASS OFF ALL SEASON TO GET HERE.
WE CAN'T BLOW IT.
YOU THINK MONTES IS GONNA HAVE BIG-TIME RECRUITERS THERE?
I DON'T THINK SHE'S FOCUSED ON THAT RIGHT NOW.
WELL, YEAH, BUT, I MEAN, HER HUSBAND'S A NO-BRAINER, RIGHT?
IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S COME OUT TO A GAME YET. MAYBE THIS'LL BE THE ONE.
WAIT. WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? WHO'S HER HUSBAND?
THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR OVER AT COASTAL CALIFORNIA. YEAH.
BUTLER FIGURED IT OUT THE OTHER DAY. HE DIDN'T TELL YOU?
THESE FRIES ARE NOT IT.
HEY, YOU.
REMIND ME NOT TO PISS YOU OFF
WHEN YOU HAVE A TENNIS RACKET IN YOUR HAND.
-MMM. -YOU LOOKED GREAT OUT THERE, BY THE WAY.
YEAH? TELL THAT TO COLLEGE ADMISSIONS.
I HEARD BACK FROM PRINCETON. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
OH. WELL, I'M--I'M SORRY.
-YEAH. -BUT YOU--YOU HAVE BACK-UPS, RIGHT?
NO, ACTUALLY, I DON'T, AND THAT'S ALL MY MOM NEEDED
TO HEAR TO START PUSHING THE STANFORD AGENDA AGAIN.
IT'S NO SHADE TO STANFORD, BUT...
I DON'T KNOW. IT'S JUST NOT ME. -OK, SO THEN...
WHAT IS YOU?
THAT'S THE THING. I DON'T KNOW.
I REALLY WANT US BOTH TO JUST PLAY
THE SPORTS THAT WE LOVE AT THE COLLEGES THAT WE WANT.
I'D SETTLE JUST TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THE SPORT THAT I LOVE RIGHT NOW.
-WAIT. I THOUGHT YOU WERE CLEARED. -COACH MONTES IS STARTING JJ,
SO, IF WE LOSE--
-YOU DON'T GET TO PLAY. -YEAH.
OH, MY GOD. WHY IS BEING A TEENAGER SO STRESSFUL?
WHY DON'T WE JUST TAKE A BREAK, YOU KNOW, GET AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS?
AND GO WHERE? BESIDES, OUR WEDDING DO-OVER
IS IN TWO WEEKS, AND YOU STILL NEED TO TALK TO YOUR PARENTS
BEFORE WE NEED A PERMANENT GETAWAY, JORDAN.
I WILL TELL MY PARENTS, ALL RIGHT?
I JUST...I JUST MEANT WE COULD GET AWAY FOR,
LIKE, THE WEEKEND OR SOMETHING.
WELL, NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT,
MY AUNTIE AMARA DID INVITE ME TO COME VISIT HER
AT BRINGSTON FOR HOMECOMING NEXT WEEKEND.
WHAT'S BRINGSTON?
THE HBCU SHE TEACHES AT IN ATLANTA.
AH, BUT WHATEVER.
SHE'S KIND OF THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY, SO GOING
TO VISIT HER WILL ONLY TRIGGER MY MOM.
WELL, MAYBE BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT
FOR A WEEKEND IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED,
AND...WHO SAYS YOUR MOM HAS TO FIND OUT?
FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I'VE DONE EVERYTHING YOU'VE ASKED.
I'VE WASHED GEAR, CLEANED THE LOCKER ROOM,
SCRUBBED THE FLOORS, I'VE HELPED YOU ON THE SIDELINES.
HELL, I SWITCHED MY POSITION BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TO.
AND YOU'RE PLAYING THE BEST FOOTBALL OF YOUR LIFE, SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
YOU KNOW THAT COASTAL CALIFORNIA IS MY DREAM SCHOOL.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOUR HUSBAND'S THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR THERE?
I DO NOT OWE YOU OR ANY OTHER PLAYER
ON THIS TEAM ACCESS TO MY HUSBAND.
YOU GOTTA EARN THAT YOURSELF.
I--I DIDN'T MEAN THAT YOU OWE ME ANYTHING. I JUST...
I TRUSTED YOU.
TRUST GOES BOTH WAYS.
I AM NOT HERE TO HAND YOU YOUR FUTURE.
YOU GOTTA GRAB IT, YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR IT.
AND, ASHER, TRY TO REMEMBER THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE
PLAYING FOOTBALL THIS SEASON IS BECAUSE I'VE ALLOWED IT.
NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE! AND NEXT TIME, KNOCK BEFORE YOU COME IN!
♪ YEAH, THESE ARE THE BEST TIMES ♪
AND BOOM.
OOH.
OK.
YEAH, THESE ARE LEGIT MY FAVORITE SO FAR.
MM-HMM. YEAH, THESE ARE REALLY GOOD, PREACH,
AND THEY'LL DO REALLY WELL ON COOP'S NEXT TOUR.
WAIT. WHAT YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT?
WELL, WE'VE GOT SOME BIG NEWS.
WHAT? OK, SO, WHAT? SPEAK!
OK, SO THE SAME PROMOTERS THAT DID YOUR LAST VEGAS TOUR
WANT YOU TO DO A LITTLE MINI WINTER TOUR
OF--[GASPS]-- ALL OF THEIR CLUBS ON THE STRIP.
WHAT? YEAH, AND UNLIKE
YOUR LAST PAYCHECK, THIS ONE WILL ACTUALLY MAKE YOU HAPPY.
SEE, BABE? EVERYTHING YOU WORKED FOR THIS YEAR IS
FINALLY PAYIN' OFF. I'M PROUD OF YOU.
MAN, I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT
THE BEST TEAM IN THE BUSINESS.
-YEAH, YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE. -THE ONLY CATCH IS
THAT IT FALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF FINALS FOR ME, SO I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO.
IT'S ALL GOOD. PREACH COULD PULL UP AND GET HIS 10%.
AIN'T NOTHIN' KEEPIN' HIM HERE, PLUS HE COULD
ROLL OUT THIS NEW MERCH WHILE WE OUT THERE.
YOU GOOD, BRUH?
YEAH, YEAH, I'MMA, UH, GET STARTED ON THESE HATS.
I'MMA CATCH UP WITH Y'ALL LATER.
ALL RIGHT.
HEY, DAD. MOM'S COOKING MUST BE GETTING BETTER
'CAUSE YOU'RE HERE A LOT LATELY.
YEAH, UH, WE ACTUALLY-- WE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING.
UM, PLEASE TELL US YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS
AND THAT SIMONE'S PARENTS ARE GOING ROGUE.
I MAYBE PICKED OUT THE FONT.
LOOKS GOOD, RIGHT? NO.
THE ONLY FONT I LIKE IS THE ONE ON THE ANNULMENT PAPERS,
WHICH WE ARE STILL FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH,
BY THE WAY. I'M SORRY, BUT WE'RE NOT.
-EXCUSE ME? -LOOK, I LOVE SIMONE,
OK, AND I WANT THIS WEDDING.
HER PARENTS HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD PLANNING.
IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING. -YOU KNOW WHAT?
LOOK, I WANT YOU BOTH THERE
TO CELEBRATE WITH US MORE THAN ANYTHING,
BUT EITHER WAY, SIMONE AND I ARE STAYING MARRIED.
I ALREADY LOST FOOTBALL THIS YEAR; I'M NOT LOSIN' MY WIFE, TOO.
HEY. HEY.
THANKS FOR LETTING ME BORROW YOUR CAR, LAYLA. YOU READY?
HELLO TO YOU, TOO. OH. SORRY. HEY, GUYS.
-HEY. -UH, YEAH, WE'RE JUST FINISHING UP.
OH, AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME HOST FRIENDSGIVING
AT YOUR PLACE; I PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL NOT LIFT A FINGER.
HEH! OF COURSE. IT SOUNDS FUN.
WAIT. DOESN'T THAT MEAN THAT YOUR EX IS GONNA BE THERE?
SPENCER IS ALL OF OUR EXES AT THIS POINT.
WE'LL STICK TOGETHER. IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.
SERIOUSLY, INVITE WHOEVER YOU WANT.
OK. WELL, I'M KINDA DOUBLE-PARKED,
SO I'LL JUST--I'LL MEET YOU OUTSIDE. OK.
UM...
HAS SHE OVERSTAYED HER WELCOME YET?
YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S ACTUALLY KINDA NICE HAVIN' HER HERE.
SHE'S REALLY HELPFUL AROUND THE HOUSE...
-MMM. -AND IT'S NICE NOT TO BE ALONE FOR ONCE.
WELL, IF THAT'S THE CASE, JUST LET US KNOW.
WE'LL MOVE RIGHT IN, KEEP YOU COMPANY.
BUT I--I THINK I'M GONNA NEED
MY OWN SEPARATE BATHROOM BECAUSE--[CHUCKLES]--
COOP'S SESSIONS ARE FATAL. REALLY?
YES. WHY--WHY WOULD YOU--
OH, COME ON! IT'S LAYLA! I'M--LOOK, I'M JUST BEING TRANSPARENT.
IT'S OK. IT'S OK. HA HA HA!
♪ YEAH! CRUSHIN' PARTIES LIKE WE... ♪
THANK YOU.
SO, DID YOU GET PATIENCE'S TEXT INVITE FOR FRIENDSGIVING?
YOU MEAN HER MANDATORY SUMMONS?
YES. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE PASSING IS AN OPTION.
I'M SORRY. WHY WOULD YOU PASS?
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S AT LAYLA'S,
AND WE'RE STILL TRYIN' TO FIND OUR WAY BACK TO BFFs.
I MEAN, PLUS, THINGS ARE STILL WEIRD BETWEEN SPENCER AND COOP,
AND I'M PRETTY SURE LAYLA AND SPENCER STILL AREN'T SPEAKING,
SO ALL OF US UNDER THE SAME ROOF
MAY NOT BE THE BEST IDEA.
MAYBE FOR YOU, BUT FOR ME, THAT SOUNDS LIKE
A GOOD TIME WITH A BIG, OLD BUCKET OF POPCORN.
OOH!
I AM KIDDING. MM-HMM.
LOOK, JUST THINK OF IT AS A CHANCE FOR ALL OF YOU TO MEND FENCES.
-MAYBE. -LIV?
-MM-HMM? -IT'LL BE GREAT.
MAYBE I'LL JUST TEXT PATIENCE THAT I'M SICK.
OR YOU CAN PUT YOUR BIG-GIRL PANTS ON AND COME.
AND BESIDES, YOU'LL GET TO SEE SPENCER.
UH-HUH, YEAH. YOU'RE WELCOME.
WHY COULDN'T I JUST STAY HOME?
THE WHOLE POINT OF HAVING AN IN-SERVICE DAY
WAS ME TAKING A BREAK FROM SCHOOL, NOT COMING TO ANOTHER ONE.
BOY, HUSH.
I'M JUST RUNNIN' A FEW ERRANDS.
SURPRISE.
YOU KNOW, NO ONE IN OUR HOUSEHOLD DRINKS WINE,
OR WHATEVER THAT IS. SAY ANOTHER WORD.
DON'T MIND DILLON. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT I DO AFTER HE'S ASLEEP.
UH, WHAT IS THE OCCASION?
I JUST WANTED TO CELEBRATE YOU WINNING A NEW BID
TO DO ANOTHER COMMUNITY GARDEN AT SOUTH CRENSHAW.
OH, MY--I GOT IT? HEH! YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
OH, THAT'S AMAZING! THANK YOU.
NO, THERE'S NO NEED TO THANK ME.
YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB ON THE FIRST ONE. YOU EARNED IT.
WELL, I--I CAN'T DRINK ALL OF THIS BY MYSELF.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP BY TOMORROW FOR A CELEBRATORY TOAST.
I'M MAKING MY FAMOUS PEACH COBBLER,
WHICH HAPPENS TO PAIR PERFECTLY WITH CHAMPAGNE.
HEY, CAN I HAVE FRIENDS OVER TOMORROW, TOO,
SINCE WE'RE BEING ALL SOCIAL?
WE SHOULD GET GOIN'.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
WE NEED TO TALK.
CARDELL, I CAN EXPLAIN.
SWEETIE, CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME
AND YOUR FATHER A MINUTE, PLEASE?
MM-HMM.
WHY DID I HAVE TO FIND OUT FROM A 10-YEAR-OLD THAT SHE'S MY DAUGHTER?
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WAS PREGNANT WHEN I LEFT TOWN.
WHEN I REALIZED, I DIDN'T WANT MY DAUGHTER AROUND GANGS.
SO YOU HIDE HER FROM ME ALTOGETHER?
SHE HAD TO FIND ME ON HER OWN.
TYRONE IS THE ONLY REASON SHE KNEW WHO I WAS.
I WAS PLANNING ON TELLING YOU. WHEN?
THAT'S THE REASON I BROUGHT HER HERE FROM PHILLY.
I'M GONNA BE IN HER LIFE,
AND THAT'S NON-NEGOTIABLE.
ARE Y'ALL FIGHTIN' OVER ME?
NO, IT'S-- IT'S ALL GOOD...
RIGHT?
YEP.
ALL GOOD.
I AIN'T HEAR EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID,
BUT THAT LITTLE GIRL WAS HUGGIN' HIM. SO?
I THINK PREACH HAS GOT A DAUGHTER.
HEY. UH, GLAD YOU GUYS COULD MAKE IT.
WOULDN'T MISS IT.
UM, I WILL TAKE THOSE. THANKS.
OK, UM, YOU CAN JOIN EVERYONE IN THERE.
OK.
OK, COOL, YES.
UM, EVERYBODY IS HERE. PERFECT.
UM, IF EVERYBODY COULD GRAB A GLASS OF APPLE CIDER BUBBLY,
AND GATHER ROUND THE TABLE,
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A TOAST.
OK, SO...I KNOW THIS IS KINDA AWKWARD,
AND, WHILE I HAD THE MOST AMAZING TIME ON TOUR,
THE ONE THING THAT I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO
WAS COMING HOME TO MY VILLAGE OF FRIENDS,
BUT OBVIOUSLY,
THERE IS SOME DISCORD IN THIS VILLAGE.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENED, I KNOW
NOT ONLY HOW MUCH YOU GUYS MEAN TO ME,
BUT HOW MUCH Y'ALL MEAN TO EACH OTHER,
AND I HATE TO SEE US LIKE THIS.
I WOULD LIKE TO START THIS FRIENDSGIVING OFF
WITH EACH OF US SAYING SOMETHING
THAT WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR IN THIS FRIEND GROUP,
SO...YEAH. SO...
I'LL START.
UM, I'M THANKFUL TO SPENCE FOR HAVING SUCH A BIG HEART.
YOU'VE HAD MY BACK THROUGH THIS WHOLE CONCUSSION RECOVERY PROCESS,
AND YOU EVEN SACRIFICED YOUR OWN FOOTBALL GOALS TO MAKE SURE I WAS GOOD,
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND I APPRECIATE YOU.
I'M, UH, THANKFUL FOR MY GIRL PATIENCE
FOR PUTTIN' THIS ALL TOGETHER
AND, UM, SUPER-GRATEFUL FOR YOU, LAYLA,
FOR JUST ALWAYS HOLDIN' ME DOWN
AND STAYIN' ON MY ASS ABOUT MY MUSIC. THANK YOU.
SAME HERE.
THANKFUL FOR LAYLA'S UNWAVERING FRIENDSHIP.
I THIRD THAT.
I MEAN, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT,
LAYLA ALWAYS COMES THROUGH.
UM, I KNOW WE HAVEN'T ALL BEEN FRIENDS
FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT FEELS
LIKE WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOREVER, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
WELL, YOU ALL REDEFINED FAMILY FOR ME,
SO...I LOVE YOU FOR ALL OF THAT.
AND I APPRECIATE PATIENCE
FOR CARING ENOUGH TO PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER,
AND I'M ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL THAT EVERYBODY ACTUALLY PULLED UP.
GOOD TIMES OR BAD, Y'ALL MY FAMILY.
YES.
WELL, CHEERS TO ALL OF THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU, GUYS, FOR COMING
AND, UM, YEAH, I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO RELAX AND,
YEAH, DAMN IT, LET'S JUST HAVE SOME FUN.

WAS BRINGIN', SO I BROUGHT THE SANDWICHES FROM SLAUSON CAFÉ.
MAN, HOLD THE HELL UP. I NEED TO KNOW WHO BROUGHT IT
BECAUSE I DON'T JUST EAT ANYBODY'S MAC 'N' CHEESE.
WHY NOT? BUBBLE GUTS.
WHEN ME AND COOP WAS IN THE SECOND GRADE,
SOMEBODY BROUGHT MAC 'N' CHEESE TO THE POTLUCK.
AND FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, SPENCER AND I HAD TO TAKE TURNS
LEAVIN' THE CLASSROOM TO USE THE BATHROOM.
-IT WAS FOUL. -NO GOOD.

YOU WILL. BEVERLY'S SEASON AIN'T OVER, MAN.
JJ CAN GET Y'ALL TO STATE.
WELL, I WAS THINKING OF APPLYING TO SOME HBCUs.
KINDA WANT TO BE IN A COLLEGE WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN OR DEFEND WHO I AM.
-YEAH, I GET IT. -YOU SHOULD COME VISIT BRINGSTON.
SIMONE AND I ARE GOING NEXT WEEKEND. UH...WE ARE?
YES. YOU SAID YOUR AUNT INVITED YOU, AND WE COULD USE A BREAK, BABE.
OH, MY GOD. I-- I MEAN, I'D LOVE TO GO.
SEE? UH, OK.
WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT,

THAT'S TRUE. THEY GOT GOOD FOOD?

HA HA HA! DID YOU TRY IT?
THAT'S GOOD. DON'T TRY IT. HEY.
I'M PROUD OF YOU
FOR ALWAYS FACING YOUR OBSTACLES HEAD-ON.
WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT NOW?
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT DURING THE TOAST.
MMM, BECAUSE THERE'S STILL ONE OBSTACLE
THAT YOU'RE RUNNIN' FROM. -AIN'T NOBODY RUNNIN' FROM SPENCER.
THEN HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKIN' 'BOUT?
COME ON. I CAN SEE THAT YOU MISS HIM.
WHY SCRATCH OLD WOUNDS?
IT'S CLEAR THAT WE FINE WITHOUT EACH OTHER.
STOP. YOU'RE NOT FINE.
AND IF I'M BEING COMPLETELY HONEST, YOU'RE BEING CHILDISH.
SPENCER ISN'T JUST YOUR BEST FRIEND, HE'S YOUR FAMILY,
AND HE'S TRYIN' TO MAKE AMENDS,
SO THE BALL'S IN YOUR COURT NOW.
I CAN'T. I JUST--
I CANNOT SILENTLY SIT BY
AND WATCH JORDAN MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE.
LOOK, THE MORE WE PUSH OUR VIEWS ON THIS WEDDING,
THE FURTHER WE'RE GONNA PUSH JORDAN AWAY FROM US,
JUST LIKE MY DAD DID WITH--WITH ME AND YOU.
I'M SORRY, BUT I AM NOTHING LIKE YOUR DAD,
AND WE WERE ADULTS.
AND I CARE ABOUT OUR SON. YEAH, ME, TOO,
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY...
I CAN'T LOSE HIM, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, HE LOVES SIMONE.
HE CAN'T LOVE HER, AND NOT BE MARRIED TO HER?
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE A TALK WITH HIM ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE MARRIED.
YOU KNOW, HOW GREAT IT IS, BUT HOW HARD IT IS TO BE HONEST.
MAYBE IT'LL HELP HIM COME TO THE CONCLUSION FOR HIMSELF
THAT HE'S JUST-- HE'S JUST NOT READY.
DID YOU EVER... LOOK BACK AT HOW YOUNG WE WERE
WHEN WE GOT MARRIED AND...REGRET IT?
NOT FOR A SECOND.
SO, UM... YOU AND SPENCER--
FRIENDS, STILL. JUST FRIENDS.
UH, WE LITERALLY JUST RAN INTO EACH OTHER IN THE DRIVEWAY.
COOL.
CARRIE SEEMS TO BE REALLY MAKIN' HERSELF AT HOME.
YEAH, SHE CAN--HEH!--BE A LITTLE OVERPROTECTIVE, BUT SHE MEANS WELL.
MMM.
WELL, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN OTHERWISE?
GOOD. YEAH. UM, JUST KEEPIN' BUSY.
WELL, COOP MENTIONED HER UPCOMING WINTER VEGAS TOUR. I MEAN, THAT'S AWESOME.
YEAH, I'M EXCITED FOR HER.
WELL...
I MEAN, I'M--I'M EXCITED FOR YOU, TOO, LAYLA.
I DON'T KNOW. YOU JUST-- YOU FOUND SOMETHING THAT TRULY MAKES YOU HAPPY.
THANKS, LIV.
FRIENDLY REMINDER. YOU'RE NOT AT HOME.
Neither are you.
LAYLA, DO YOU MIND IF I STEAL YOU FOR A SEC?
-UH... -YEAH, GO AHEAD. I'LL--I'LL BE AROUND.
OK. OH, SORRY. HEH HEH!
WHAT'S UP?
WHAT'S GOOD?
-YOU ATE THE MAC 'N' CHEESE, DIDN'T YOU? -NO.
THINK IT WAS THE SPENCER JAMES SANDWICHES THAT DID IT THIS TIME.
-OK. -HEH!
YOU FIGURED OUT YOUR COLLEGE DILEMMA YET?
-NOT YET. -MAN, IF THIS IS ABOUT YOUR FAMILY,
YOU AIN'T GOTTA WORRY ABOUT THAT.
THEY'RE MY FAMILY, TOO. I'MMA ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
DILLON WAS SAYIN' HOW MUCH HE MISSES YOU THE OTHER DAY.
YOU SHOULD STOP BY AND SEE HIM SOMETIME.
FA SHO.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, YOU NEED TO QUIT ALL THAT OVERTHINKIN'
AND GO VISIT THEM SCHOOLS YOU INTERESTED IN.
YOU OWE THAT TO YOURSELF.
YEAH, YOU RIGHT.
I MISSED YOUR ADVICE.
GOOD 'CAUSE THAT'S THE BEST APOLOGY YOU GONNA GET.
SO ARE WE FRIENDS AGAIN?
I GUESS, BUT DON'T MAKE IT WEIRD.
HEY. LET ME HELP YOU OUT.
NOPE. I'M GOOD. YOU SHOULD GO ENJOY THE PARTY.
I DON'T MIND. WE AIN'T REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TALK ANYWAY, SO...
HEH! THERE'S NOT REALLY ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY STILL HATE ME, BUT--
SPENCER, JUST STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS INTO SOMETHING.
IT IS SOMETHIN'. YOU'RE IMPORTANT TO ME
AND I HURT YOU AND I WILL KEEP SAYING SORRY--
I NEED YOU TO GO FIND PATIENCE, AND I WILL TALK TO YOU LATER.
UM, JORDAN WAS RIGHT.
YOU HAVE A BIG HEART. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT YOU,
BUT...BECAUSE IT'S SO BIG, IT GETS YOU IN TROUBLE.
AND I KNOW YOU DIDN'T SET OUT TO HURT ME-- AND FOR THE RECORD,
I DON'T HATE YOU-- BUT...
I JUST NEED SOME TIME BEFORE WE CAN BE FRIENDS AGAIN.
DUDE, WHAT-- WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'? IT'S GAME DAY.
WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THE ONE WHO HAS TO SIT OUT THIS GAME?
DO YOU THINK MONTES BELIEVES IN US,
THAT SHE REALLY THINKS WE CAN WIN THIS?
LOOK, I'M NOT THE BIGGEST MONTES FAN RIGHT NOW,
BUT HONESTLY, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SHE BELIEVES.
IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND WHAT YOU EXECUTE ON THAT FIELD TONIGHT.
BRO, TAKE YOUR HELMET OFF. IT'S BAD LUCK TO WEAR IT IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
I--I CAN'T. WHY?
I TRIED TO GET MYSELF AMPED UP FOR THE GAME,
SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I'D DO SOME FIERY-RED TIPS.
WHAT THE HELL, DUDE?
I--I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I AM--
I'M FREAKING OUT, MAN. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS TONIGHT.
GREAT, GREAT. WHAT WAS THAT THING
YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT BELIEVING IN OURSELVES AND--
HOW DO YOU GO OUT THERE EACH WEEK
IN FRONT OF A HUGE CROWD, SEASON ON THE LINE,
AND PLAY LIKE YOU DO?
YOU JUST DO IT.
LOOK, YOU FOCUS ON YOUR PLAYBOOK,
YOU--YOU TRUST YOUR OFFENSIVE LINE,
YOU FIND YOUR OPEN RECEIVERS; YOU DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS,

THIRD AND A LONG 7.
DEFENSE NEEDS A STOP HERE.

INTERCEPTION!
AND THAT'S THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.
OH, MY GOD. SHE REALLY TOLD YOU
THAT SHE GOT YOUR SISTER FROM THE STORE?
-YES, SO EVERY TIME... -OH, MY--
WE'D GO SHOPPING, I'D CHECK
THE FREEZER AISLE FOR A BABY BROTHER.
GOD BLESS OUR MOTHERS.
YEAH, CHEERS TO THAT. CHEERS.
HEY, DILLON, JASMYN TOLD ME THAT SHE LIKED
THOSE "TRY NOT TO LAUGH" CHALLENGES.
SHE'S GOT ME DOIN' 'EM ALL THE TIME NOW.
YOU WANT TO TRY ONE WITH ME?
I'VE BEEN TRYIN' NOT TO LAUGH AT
YOUR ATTEMPTS TO IMPRESS MY MOM ALL NIGHT.
DILLON. YOU KNOW, ISN'T JASMYN WAITING
FOR YOU TO FINALLY GET HOME OR SOMETHIN'?
THAT'S ENOUGH! GO TO YOUR ROOM!
NOW!
SO SORRY. I...
I'M MORTIFIED. -YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.
I'M A SINGLE FATHER WITH A YOUNG KID, TOO.
UH, YOU KNOW WHAT? I--I BETTER GET GOIN' ANYWAY,
BUT THANK YOU FOR TONIGHT.
I APPRECIATE IT. YEAH.
AND THE, UM,
THE KIDS'LL GET USED TO IT,
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE OUR HAPPY ENDING.
HMM.
GOOD NIGHT.
ADAMS.
YOU ARE SLOPPY AND UNFOCUSED OUT THERE.
I'M DOIN' MY BEST, COACH.
YOU READING THE AUDIBLE PASS PLAY
AGAINST TARZANA WAS YOU AT YOUR BEST.
THE FUMBLE RECOVERY FOR A TOUCHDOWN
AGAINST HIGHLAND WAS YOU AT YOUR BEST.
TIPPING THE PASS FOR AN INTERCEPTION
AGAINST FOOTHILL WAS YOU AT YOUR BEST.
THE ONLY PERSON KEEPING YOU FROM SHINING OUT THERE IS YOU.
NOW, GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY.
YOU ARE A GREAT PLAYER,
BUT IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT, THIS IS ALL FOR NOTHING.
YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON TO EVER TELL ME
I'M A GREAT PLAYER AND MEAN IT.
THEN GET OUT THERE IN THE SECOND HALF AND PROVE ME RIGHT.
IF YOUR IDEA IS TO SPY ON THE COMPETITION,
YOU SHOULD BE OUT THERE WATCHING THE GAME, NOT IN HERE, STARING AT THE PAST.
WATCHING BEVERLY LOSE IS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT.
THEY DESERVE TO MAKE IT TO STATE.
JORDAN DESERVES TO MAKE IT TO STATE,
EVEN IF THAT MEANS A REMATCH AGAINST SOUTH CRENSHAW.
FACING OFF AGAINST JORDAN AND THE EAGLES
IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE.
WELL, YOU'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF FACING OFF LATELY.
HOW'D IT GO WITH LAYLA YESTERDAY?
NOT AS WELL AS I HOPED,
BUT COOP AND I ARE FINALLY IN A BETTER PLACE.
GOOD. LAYLA AND I ARE GETTING THERE, TOO,
AS LONG AS I JUST KEEP PLAYING NICE WITH CARRIE.
I SWEAR, SOMETHING IS OFF WITH THAT GIRL.
-YOU TELL LAYLA THAT? -NO, WE JUST STARTED
TO FIX OUR FRIENDSHIP. I'M STAYING OUT OF IT.
YEAH, SAME REASON I AIN'T TELLIN' COOP
I THINK PREACH IS KEEPIN' STUFF FROM HER.
EXACTLY. SEE, THIS YEAR, WE ARE
STAYING OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS, OK,
AND WE'RE FOCUSING ON OUR OWN.
JJ, WAIT UP. YO, WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUT THERE, MAN?
YOU'RE LITERALLY THROWING THE GAME AWAY.
I DON'T KNOW, MAN. I...
I CAN'T DO THIS.
YES, YOU CAN. LOOK, EVERYTHING WE'VE
WORKED FOR ALL SEASON IS OUT ON THAT FIELD.
I DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, ALL RIGHT?
I'M NOT YOU.
OK, YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE NOT ME, OK?
USE THAT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE KIDS, HOW WE USED TO PLAY
AT THAT PARK? YOU WERE-- YOU WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO BRING DOWN.
BE THAT KID AGAIN. -BUT THOSE GAMES DIDN'T COUNT.
THEY DID TO US BACK THEN.
LOOK, MAN, FORGET THE PLAYBOOK.
FORGET ABOUT FINDING OPEN RECEIVERS, FORGET EVERYTHING.
PLAY THE GAME YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY.
YOU'RE AGGRESSIVE. YOU'RE UNPREDICTABLE.
STOP PLAYING JORDAN BAKER FOOTBALL,
AND START PLAYING JJ PARKER FOOTBALL, ALL RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, JJ. GIVE ME SOMETHING.
HEY, KICK, KICK, KICK! OMAHA, OMAHA, OMAHA!

LET'S GO!
OH. I LIKE BEIN' RIGHT.
YOU PLAYED A GREAT GAME, ASHER. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.
LOOK, I'M SORRY FOR HOW I CAME AT YOU THE OTHER NIGHT.
YOU'VE DONE MORE FOR ME IN ONE SEASON
THAN ANY COACH I'VE EVER HAD, SO...THANK YOU.
WELL, DON'T THANK ME YET. WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE GAME TO WIN.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, THERE'S SOMEONE I WANT YOU TO MEET.
MY HUSBAND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A GAME, AND YOU REALLY IMPRESSED HIM.
I DIDN'T TELL YOU HE WAS COMING BEFORE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YOU DISTRACTED.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. WHAT?
I MAY NOT HAND PLAYERS TO MY HUSBAND,
BUT THE GREAT ONES ALWAYS LAND ON HIS RADAR.
COME ON. HE'S WAITIN' OUT FRONT.
-IS THIS A JOKE? -NO!
-THIS WOULD BE REALLY MESSED UP, COACH. -HA HA HA!
CAN I HELP YOU?
UM, I--I THINK I CAN HELP MYSELF.
LAYLA'S SLEEPING OFF A HEADACHE.
IT'S BEST NOT TO BUG HER.
OK...I'LL JUST CHECK ON HER LATER, THEN.
-OK. -OK.
HEY, WHO WAS THAT AT THE DOOR?
OH, IT WAS ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS.
THEY LOST POWER, AND THEY JUST WANTED TO SEE IF WE DID, TOO.
OH. NO. ALL GOOD HERE. YOU READY TO START THE MOVIE?
-MM-HMM. -I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN "HEATHERS." IT'S A CLASSIC.
OH, I CAN'T WAIT.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
OR YOU WANT TO SIT IN SILENCE, GROUNDED, FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE?
WHY CARTER, MOM?
I DON'T LIKE IT,
AND SPENCER'S NOT GONNA LIKE IT WHEN HE FINDS OUT.
CARTER IS MY BUSINESS;
NOT YOURS, NOT SPENCER'S.
SO, WHEN SPENCER LEAVES FOR COLLEGE...
IS CARTER GONNA BE THE NEW MAN OF THE HOUSE?
BABY...
WE ARE A FAMILY.
AND IF SPENCER LEAVES, NONE OF THAT WILL CHANGE.
YOU AND YOUR BROTHER WILL ALWAYS BE THE MEN OF THIS HOUSE,
BUT I'M ALLOWED TO HAVE MY OWN LIFE, TOO,
AND YOU DON'T GET TO BE RUDE JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
UNDERSTOOD?
AHEM. JORDAN.
LOOK, MOM, I KNOW, OK?
IF YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT SIMONE IS THE ONE,
AND YOU'RE READY FOR MARRIAGE...
THEN YOUR FATHER AND I WILL BE THERE.
REALLY? HEH! THAT-- THAT MEANS A LOT, MOM.
BUT A LITTLE ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO'S
BEEN MARRIED ALMOST...TWO DECADES.
YOU'VE SEEN WHAT YOUR FATHER AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS YEAR.
MARRIAGE IS...
HARD WORK AND SACRIFICE,
SO MAKE SURE THIS ONE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
'CAUSE IT'S...
NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN WALK AWAY FROM EASILY WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH.
-HEY, MA. -HEY.
IS THAT PEACH COBBLER?
IT WAS. YOU WANT A SLICE?
OH, YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. WHERE'S DILLON?
AH, HE'S TAKING A MINUTE IN HIS ROOM.
GROWIN' PAINS. -AH. I REMEMBER THOSE WELL.
I THINK HE'S GROWIN' UP FASTER THAN YOU DID,
WHICH IS A SCARY THOUGHT.
COOP.
HEY, MS. GRACE.
-HEY.
SO WHAT'S UP?
THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON I WANT TO RISK MY LIFE WITH.
AND BESIDES, DID YOU REALLY THINK
PATIENCE WAS GONNA JUMP OUT OF A AIRPLANE?
WAIT, HOLD UP. I'D KNOW THAT SMELL ANYWHERE.
MS. GRACE, PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT A PIECE OF THAT PEACH COBBLER FOR ME.
YOU KNOW I ALWAYS SAVE YOU SOME, TAMIA.
COME ON. MMM.
-COME IN. -I MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN YOU
THE WIN ON THE FIELD, BUT I GOT JJ WHERE HE NEEDED TO BE.
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A THANK YOU?
I'M LOOKING FOR MY QB1 SPOT BACK FOR STATE.
I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, COACH, ALL RIGHT?
EXTRA PRACTICES, DRILLS, WORKOUTS-- YOU NAME IT.
TRUTH BE TOLD, I'M NOT SURE WHO I'M STARTING.
AFTER JJ's PERFORMANCE IN THE SECOND HALF,
I THINK WE HAVE A REAL SHOT AT BEATING SOUTH CRENSHAW.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. YOU--YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, RIGHT?
THEY DON'T KNOW JJ's GAME,
WHEREAS YOU--NO ONE KNOWS YOUR GAME BETTER
THAN YOUR FORMER TEAMMATE AND YOUR FATHER,
AND THAT'S A RISK I AM NOT SURE WE SHOULD TAKE.
GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD!
