- SPENCER: Time's up.

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.

[CHUCKLES] 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.
- SPENCER: 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.

- AMINA: Higher!

If I push you any higher, you
gonna wrap around the bar.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

It's my mom.

[RINGING STOPS]

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?

COACH MONTES: Last thing...
uh, for Friday night's game,

JJ will be starting as our QB1.

[PLAYERS CLAMOR]

COACH MONTES: All right, all right.

Finish suiting up,
meet me on the field in 10.

- PLAYER: Ok. All right.
- JORDAN: Coach.

- Hey, coach?
- COACH MONTES: 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.
- JORDAN: 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.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

PATIENCE: Oh, ho! What?

Watchin' movies ain't been the same
without your nonstop commentary.

Yeah, I know, I know. Hey.

- [CHUCKLES]
- SPENCER: 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.

[SIGHS]

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.

PATIENCE: 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.

[COOP AND PATIENCE SPEAK INDISTINCTLY]

MALE SINGER: ♪ Lookin' through
the lens, what do you see? ♪

Hey, you ready for this game?

Man, I stay ready. [CHUCKLES]

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.

[JJ SIGHS]

JORDAN: 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.

[SIGHS] 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!

MALE SINGER: ♪ Yeah,
these are the best times ♪

And boom.

Ooh.

Ok.

Yeah, these are legit
my favorite so far.

- PREACH: Mm-hmm.
- LAYLA: Yeah, these are really good, Preach,

and they'll do really well
on Coop's next tour.

Wait. What you talkin' 'bout?

[CHUCKLES] Well, we've
got some big news.

- PATIENCE: What?
- COOP: 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.

- PATIENCE AND COOP: What?
- LAYLA: Yeah, and unlike

your last paycheck, this one
will actually make you happy.

PATIENCE: 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.

[SIGHS]

You good, bruh?

Yeah, yeah, I'mma, uh,
get started on these hats.

I'mma catch up with y'all later.

COOP: All right.

- [SQUEALS]
- [PATIENCE GIGGLES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

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?
- LAURA: No.

The only font I like is the
one on the annulment papers,

which we are still
following through with,

- by the way.
- JORDAN: 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.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER]

- CARRIE: Hey.
- LAYLA: Hey.

Thanks for letting me borrow
your car, Layla. You ready?

- COOP: Hello to you, too.
- CARRIE: Oh. Sorry. Hey, guys.

- Hey.
- Uh, yeah, we're just finishing up.

PATIENCE: 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.

CARRIE: Wait. Doesn't that mean
that your ex is gonna be there?

COOP: Spencer is all
of our exes at this point.

- We'll stick together.
- LAYLA: It's not a big deal.

Seriously, invite whoever you want.

CARRIE: Ok. Well, I'm
kinda double-parked,

so I'll just... I'll
meet you outside. Ok.

- PATIENCE: Um...
- [COOP CHUCKLES]

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.

PATIENCE: But I... I think
I'm gonna need

my own separate bathroom
because... [CHUCKLES]...

- Coop's sessions are fatal.
- COOP: Really?

- PATIENCE: Yes.
- COOP: Why... why would you...

Oh, come on! It's Layla!
I'm... look, I'm just being transparent.

PATIENCE: It's ok. It's ok. Ha ha ha!

FEMALE SINGER: ♪ Yeah!
Crushin' parties like we... ♪

OLIVIA: Thank you.

SIMONE: 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.
- OLIVIA: 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.

DILLON: 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.

- [GRACE GASPS]
- CARTER: Surprise.

You know, no one in our
household drinks wine,

- or whatever that is.
- GRACE: Say another word.

Don't mind Dillon. He doesn't
know what I do after he's asleep.

[CHUCKLES] Uh, what is the occasion?

I just wanted to celebrate
you winning a new bid

to do another community
garden at South Crenshaw.

- GRACE: Oh, my... I got it?
- CARTER: 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.

DILLON: Hey, can I have
friends over tomorrow, too,

since we're being all social?

We should get goin'.

- [DILLON SIGHS]
- GRACE: See you tomorrow.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

PREACH: We need to talk.

Cardell, I can explain.

Sweetie, can you please give me

and your father a minute, please?

[DEAD-PAN] Mm-hmm.

PREACH: 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.

- MO: I was planning on telling you.
- PREACH: When?

That's the reason I
brought her here from Philly.

I'm gonna be in her life,

and that's non-negotiable.

AMINA: Are y'all fightin' over me?

No, it's... it's all good...

Right?

Yep.

All good.

SPENCER: I ain't hear
everything that was said,

- but that little girl was huggin' him.
- OLIVIA: So?

[QUIETLY] I think Preach
has got a daughter.

LAYLA: Hey. Uh, glad
you guys could make it.

Wouldn't miss it.

- LAYLA: Um, I will take those.
- SPENCER: Thanks.

Ok, um, you can join everyone in there.

- [OLIVIA SIGHS]
- SPENCER: Ok.

PATIENCE: 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.

COOP: 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.

SIMONE: 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.

PATIENCE: 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.

- LAYLA: Hey.
- PATIENCE: Yeah. Cheers.

- famous Mac 'n' cheese.
- COOP: Yes.

That ain't my mom's Mac 'n' cheese.

It isn't? Then whose is it?

I have no idea.
I was told somebody else

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?
- BOTH: Bubble guts. [COOP CHUCKLES]

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.

The Mac 'n' cheese is fine.

I made it.

Ah.

- [COUGHS TWICE]

'cause I don't want to play
nobody else in the 'chip.

JJ's starting QB, so...

I thought you were cleared to play.

Montes doesn't think I'm ready yet.

She said maybe next game,
if we even make it.

You will. Beverly's
season ain't over, man.

JJ can get y'all to State.

OLIVIA: 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.
- SIMONE: Uh... We are?

Yes. You said your aunt invited
you, and we could use a break, babe.

OLIVIA: Oh, my god. I...
I mean, I'd love to go.

- JORDAN: See?
- SIMONE: Uh, ok.

Well, yeah, I mean,
I guess you're right,

and plus, my aunt is heavy in activism,

so you guys would
have plenty to talk about.

OLIVIA: Perfect.

SPENCER: So y'all just gonna sit here

and make weekend plans without me?

SIMONE: Ha! Ok, Spence.
You can come, too.

I mean, the more the merrier, right?

Yeah, I mean, it'll give
you a taste of what

a out-of-state college
feels like, right?

SPENCER: That's true.
They got good food?

- SIMONE: In Atlanta?
- SPENCER: Say no more.

Better than Carrie's Mac
'n' cheese, that's for sure.

- SPENCER: Ha ha ha!
- JORDAN: Did you try it?

- That's good. Don't try it.
- PATIENCE: Hey.

[CHUCKLES] 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.

[KISS]

[SIGHS]

LAURA: 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.
- BILLY: 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.

- [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
- LAYLA: Cool.

[DISTANT MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

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.

[QUIETLY] 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!

[CARRIE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[SIGHS]

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.

[SIGHS] 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.

[CHUCKLES]

So are we friends again?

I guess, but don't make it weird.

[DISTANT MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

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.

- JJ: I... I can't.
- JORDAN: Why?

I tried to get myself
amped up for the game,

so I thought maybe I'd do
some fiery-red tips.

[SIGHS]

- [GASPS]
- [CHUCKLES]

JORDAN: 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.

[SIGHS] Great, great.
What was that thing

you were saying about
believing in ourselves and...

JJ: 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,

and I promise you, you'll be fine.

Ok.

- His hair's orange.
- Yeah.

from the store?

- Yes, so every time...

we'd go shopping, I'd check

the freezer aisle for a baby brother.

[DILLON CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY]

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?

your attempts to

And the, um,

the kids'll get used to it,

Hmm. [CHUCKLES]

Good night.

Good night.

[DOOR CREAKS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

COACH MONTES: 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.

OLIVIA: 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?

[SIGHS] 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.

[SIGHS]

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Come on, JJ. Give me something.

Hey, kick, kick, kick!

Omaha? What is Omaha?

[PLAYERS CLAMORING]

[CHUCKLING]

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.

[STAMMERING] 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?

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

LAURA: Ahem. Jordan.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]
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.

[CHUCKLES]

[SIGHS]

[DOOR CREAKS]

- 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.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]

Coop.

Hey, Ms. Grace.

- Hey.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

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?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

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. [COOP CHUCKLES]
- SPENCER: 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.
