Good morning, Jordan.

Jeez.

Sorry. You scared me.

Oh, I did? My bad.

I know I hate being scared.

No worries, man. You're good.

Not a big fan of
surprises, either.

No scaring, no surprises.

Got it.

Oh, and also, I
don't like secrets.

But you know what?

That's why I like you, j.

My brother. You always
been upfront with me.

I mean, you told me about
you and Layla, right?

Well, not exactly.

I had to figure
it out for myself,

but you never denied it.
Now, that's something.

Right.

Layla is the only reason

you're staying at gau, right?

There's no other
reason? Just young love?

Um...

So, you did know your
father took the coach job.

I knew it. I knew it.

Spence, look, I didn't
want to lie to you, ok?

I told my dad yesterday

that either he
tells you or I will.

Yesterday. So, that's when
you found out? Yesterday?

I wanted to tell you,
Spence, ok? I did.

It's just he asked me

to keep it a secret. That's...

Well, I guess a.D. Barnes
didn't get the memo.

But at least I can
count on somebody

to be honest with me, right?

- Spence...
- Nope.

"Keating records
lost its heart and soul

"when my dad stepped down.

"I'm hoping to restore
my family's legacy

with formonica records."

Ha! This is a great interview.

We should hang it on the fridge.

Wait. You think
it's fridge-worthy?

I mean, you're just
lucky I didn't write it,

'cause it probably would've
brought down your entire empire.

Ok, Garrett had that coming,

and we should hang that article

on the fridge just under mine.

How about it goes
under the fridge,

because it literally
ruined everyone's lives?

Everyone is fine, Liv.

You know what you should do?

Get back together with Spencer?

That's not exactly where
I was going, but...

The breakup was so stupid.

I mean, we still
love each other,

and what's her name has
gotta be a rebound, right?

Sorry. That
came outta nowhere.

I just needed to tell someone.

What happened to Noah?

He's my coworker, Layla.

Wait. Didn't we just...

You know what? Never mind.

You want to get back
together with Spencer,

so, what is the plan?

No clue. You think
I can get him

to start hating
his new girlfriend?

You could write an
article about her.

It's too soon?

It's not a bad idea.

Coach.
Spence. What's up?

Did you hear about the
head coach position?

No. Not yet.

That's 'cause it ain't you.

A.d. Barnes offered
it to coach baker.

Interesting.

That's
all you gotta say?

What do you want
me to say, Spence?

A.d. Barnes can hire whomever
he wants. What did Billy say?

I don't know.

I didn't hear it from him.

And I don't see the point in
talking to him about it now.

And you ain't curious about
how all of this went down?

Hey, look, Spence, Billy
helped raise you, man.

You owe him a chance
to explain himself.

And he definitely owes
you an explanation.

Cardell Simms, why should you
get custody of your daughter?

You just said why. 'Cause
she's my damn daughter.

What experience do you
have with children?

I used to be one.

All right, listen, preach,

I am on your side completely,

but her grandparents
and their lawyers

are gonna come at you very hard.

Now, you and I both know that

your past is gonna be a problem.

Now, what is your...
Your current profession?

I tutor and substitute teach

at south crenshaw high school.

Nothing full-time?

What did I just say?

Nothing full time at the moment.

But I got two degrees
while serving time.

That's gotta count
for something.

I'm sure it will, but what is

your current living situation?

Do you feel like it's a safe
environment to raise a little girl?

Coop, you've been to my place.

It ain't the Taj Mahal, but
trust, she'll be safe with me.

Preach.

What you want me to say, huh?

I'm lucky if I
work 3 days a week

and I live in a
crappy apartment?

No, I don't, bro, but there are

things you could do
to show the court

that you are serious, all right,

and they're gonna want
to do an inspection.

They not gonna
like what they see.

Well, too bad I
can't afford to move

to a chateau in the hills.

What about your job?

Maybe Billy can get
you on full-time.

Layla! Hi! What
are you doing here?

- Um...
- Let me guess.

Nurse Asher asked
you to check on me.

No. I was just...

Ok, he may have
mentioned you were here,

but coming over was my idea.

So, how are you feeling?

I'm good. They got
the inflammation

in my lungs under control

and the new meds should
keep it that way.

Good.

Now I just have
to convince Asher.

Well, he's just
worried about you.

I know. But it's a bit much.

He doesn't want me moving

and definitely doesn't
want me going back to work.

Uh, well, I'm kind of
with Asher on that,

at least the going
back to work bit.

Like, isn't it a little soon?

I don't really have much choice.

Insurance is only
covering half my bills,

so, I need to work
10,000 more shifts,

then they'll be paid off.

Hustle up, boys.

Combine is right
around the corner.

It's good to see you haven't
abandoned these guys entirely.

Or you just trying
out plays for gau?

Look, I know I should
have told you earlier.

Shoulda. Yeah. Kenny, too.

Did you even try
to get him the job?

Of course. Look, Barnes thinks

this Garrett scandal
tainted the entire staff.

I don't agree, but
it's not my call.

I'm doing everything I can
to make sure Kenny stays.

He's already coached under
somebody he couldn't trust,

and now he's tainted.

Why would he want
to do that again?

I did not go in there
trying to get that job.

I was as surprised as anyone
when they offered it to me.

But how many seconds did it take

for you to say yes?

You know, when I asked you
to help out with Kenny,

it's because you've always been

the type of guy who
looks out for people

when nobody else will.

When did you start only
looking out for yourself, man?

Hey.

Jordan ain't here.

Oh. Well, I'm actually
here to see you,

but judging by your face,

you don't wanna see me.

I'm just trying to figure
out which baker I can trust.

Ok. Pause. Breathe. Sit.

I got stuff to do, Liv.

It can wait.

I'm gonna make you a
protein shake. Sit.

Now talk.

Did you know about
your pops taking

the head coach job at gau?

Seems like everybody
got a heads-up but me.

I didn't. I promise.

Wait. But that means he'd
be your coach again, right?

Why is that bad?

I don't wanna get into it.

Ok.

Uhh. Boys. Ok.

Plan b... you go for
a run and calm down.

I will go to the store,
and when you get back,

there will be a protein
shake waiting for you.

Go.

Thank you.

My man preach.

Hey.

What can I do you for?

I was hoping if you can
pull some strings for me

and make this teaching
thing more permanent.

I gotta get a new
spot for me and Amina.

Oh. Oh, man. I
don't know if I have

any more strings left to pull.

I, uh... I put in
my resignation.

I'm leaving to
take a job at gau.

- You're leaving?
- Yeah.

Then I'm probably not
gonna be far behind.

I mean, you was the only one

who was looking out
for me here, man.

Come on, man. You
did solid work here.

And I'm not the only
one who noticed.

You just gotta give it time.

Time ain't exactly on my side.

Amina's custody
hearing is coming up,

and I'm not looking
like daddy warbucks.

Let me see what I
can do, all right?

In the meantime, I'll ask around

and see if I can find
you work someplace else.

I'll do that, too.

♪♪ Yeah, it's so fantastic ♪♪

♪♪ know the flow is magic ♪♪

♪♪ I ain't messin'... ♪♪

So, you heard about dad.

No, I'm staying out of it.

But I do think it's
really messed up

that you didn't tell Spencer
or me for that matter.

Well, I'm glad that you
are staying out of it.

You know, I miss rich me.

I could've easily paid for
jaymee's hospital bills

a few years ago.

Well, jaymee wouldn't
have dated you back then.

You did.
Yeah, I was richer...

So your rich didn't
really count.

Hey, listen, what if
we did, I don't know, like,

a charity car wash
to raise money?

We'd have to wash
over, like, 20,000 cars

or charge, like,
$1,000 a car or...

You could just say
it's a bad idea.

I thought I did.

Guess it's back
to robbing a bank then.

You know, at least jaymee
could still visit me in prison.

Conjugals. Hey.

- Conjugals!
- Hee hee!

But it's the non-conjugals

that you guys should
be worried about.

I mean, you guys would each go
for half a pack of honey buns.

Oh, please, ok?

We would each have
dudes lining up for us.

Asher here would go

for a pack of honey buns.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

And me, a young
stud, easily a case.

Wait. Um, no, that's it.

We raise the money
by selling you guys.

Sounds illegal.

What if... what if the
guy has a girlfriend?

Ok, well, nothing
illegal or sexual.

Just, like, a date.
You know, we get

all the guys we know, and...

Every guy but jj.

This is for jaymee. I don't
want it turning into a joke.

Ok, well,
every guy except jj,

and people can just
bid on who they want,

even if they have a girlfriend.

Ok, what do you think

of dollars for dudes?

Why does it need
a fancy name, though?

I mean, why can't we
just call it an auction?

Ok. Dollars for
dudes is great, babe.

You are gonna bid on
me, though, right?

I mean, unless you
want some other lady

taking me home for
a non-conjugal.

Formonica records may throw
down a sizable donation

for a young stud like
you to stock the shelves.

Whatever does it for you.

You're attacking me in the trades
now, Layla? That's a dumbass move.

Fall back, Clay.

I didn't even mention you.

"Formonica records is the
real keating records."

No, the real keating
records is mine,

and the keating legacy is
why people come to me, Layla.

Yeah, and when they realise

you don't have it,
they come to me.

Some come running.
Look, keating's my name.

I can use it however
and whenever I want.

Consider this a warning. Try using
it again and see what happens.

♪♪ dun dun
dun ♪♪ Clay: Dumbass.

Ok. All right.

Hey, Jordan, where
are you going?

Uh, to knock him
on his dumb ass.

I am not gonna let him talk
to you like that, Layla.

Hey, I am a big girl. I can
handle Clay on my own, ok?

Uh...

Can we continue?

Ok.

You don't seem like you wanna do

the whole charity date auction.

No. But I'm not about
to let jaymee down,

so, I'll just smile and be fake

like everybody else.

You still thinking about your
coach? Wanna talk about it?

Nah. It's too
much to get into.

Fine. Ok. We don't
have to talk.

There are a lot of
other things we can do.

You know what? My... my
muscles are kinda tight.

I don't know what to
do. You don't want me

to talk to you or touch you.

That doesn't leave
us a lot of options.

I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I just...

I got a lot on my mind.

That you clearly
wanna deal with alone,

so, I'll leave you to it.

You know where to find me
whenever you're ready to talk.

Ok. Bye.

What's good, scrappy?

Been a minute, preach.

I thought you was out the game.

I ain't back, but I'm looking

to make some guap real quick.

Just looking for a one and done.

Can you help me out?

Look, I wouldn't
have pulled up on you

if it wasn't important.

Maybe we can help
each other out.

I got something that I
need dropped off tomorrow.

You take care of that,
I'll take care of you.

How's it look?

Um... looks good.

Sorry. Um, i'm
just texting Gia

that from now on, every
formonica post and press release

needs to mention
the keating legacy,

and we will see how
Clay likes that.

You know, I really
wish you'd just

let me handle Clay.

And I really wish

that you would drop
it, ok, Jordan?

I don't need you
coming to my rescue.

♪♪ ...nothing can
hold me back now ♪♪

Hold up. You knew, too?

I didn't
know. I suspected,

and I confronted him
about it after the roast.

So why didn't you tell me?

Because I was
giving him a chance

to do the right thing
and tell you himself.

I guess we both
overestimated him.

Spencer, give me two hours.

my girlfriend's hospital bills.

Oh, so a white boy's
about to go onstage

Uh, heh! No. No, no, no.

And, I mean, they're not
all black, all right?

I'll be up there, too.

Oh, god.
Look, we're just trying...

Yeah. Heh. Thank you.

Mm-hmm. Lucky for

people. Come on.

♪♪ I wanna see you

All right, all right.
Welcome to dollars for dudes.

Ok. Let's see
what we have here.

Somebody's girl needs
money. Blah, blah, blah.

Let's bring on the men, right?

Yeah. Let's do that.

First up, a little
treat named Butler.

Ha ha! And, y'all, we all know

how every mystery book ends,

with the Butler doing it.

Let's let the bidding begin!

What's up, man?

Look, these are all filled
out. I gotta bounce.

Uh, wait. Hold up.

I been thinkin' about
your living situation.

What if we move you into the baker
house until you find a place?

The court sees that
Beverly Hills zip code,

and, boom, no more questions.

I appreciate it, but I'm good.

I'll be getting a new spot soon.

What? Some rich auntie died

and left you a bunch of cash?

Well, if so, don't forget
about your girl Coop.

Nah. I talked to Billy.

He's hooking me up
at south crenshaw.

Bro, that's dope.

But why don't you seem
too happy about it?

Trust me, I'm doing
cartwheels in my head.

Look, I gotta get going.

Oh, it looks
like we're skipping

right to the dessert.

Do I even need to introduce

the Spencer James?

Ow! Ow!

You ready for operation
get my man back?

We're not calling it that.

Ok.

Let's start
the bid at $50...

I'm not sure I can
go through with this.

$50.

$50 to the superfan.

75.

75 to the
lady in stripes.

Oh, come on, ladies. This is
a date with Spencer James.

The man's got his own
sandwich here. Do I hear 80?

- $80.
- 85.

- 90.
- 100.

150.

150. That
should do it.

Going once...

$200.

250.

I know you want that
date, but be cool.

$500.
Good talk, Liv.

What? It's for jaymee, right?

What's it gonna
be, lady in stripes?

500 going once, twice.

Sold to the baker beauty.

What's up, coach?

Coop. What a surprise.

Right. I didn't even
like coming here

when I was a student,

but preach mentioned
that you were

getting him more
work. Is that true?

I said I would try.

Ok, well, just a few
days ago, he was broke,

and suddenly, he's
getting a new place.

If he's not getting
the cash from you,

he's getting it
from somewhere else.

I think he's back in the game.

Preach wouldn't go back
to doing that, would he?

I mean, he's worried
about his custody hearing.

He's desperate. I know
you two are close.

You think you can talk to him

before he gets
thrown back in prison

and loses Amina forever?

Ooh, that
boy's in trouble.

Let me know if
you need a fourth.

Or if the young man

needs a ride to the
hospital when you're done.

I don't think she's
very happy with me.

Weird. Do you think it's
because you're Spencer's ex

and you just made it
rain to outbid her?

Sounds plausible.

My, my, my,
dreams do come true.

Ugh. Clay just hit me with
a cease-and-desist order.

I need to go take care of this.

I'm gonna
start the bid at $100.

And since I can't
pass up an opportunity

to get me a baker man, i'm
gonna also end the bid.

Sold to me.

You are in for quite a workout.

Well, y'all, I
guess it is time to add

a scoop of vanilla to
all this hot chocolate.

Do I hear $20 for Asher Adams?

$20. Do I hear 30...

She looked over here again.

I have no idea what's going on

in any of the
bakers' heads lately.

But that bid probably
wasn't even for me.

It was for our
friend... jaymee.

It's not a big deal. Trust me.

I do trust you, Spencer,

but it's a bigger
deal than you think.

Nobody bids that kind of money

unless they still have feelings.

$5,000 for Asher.

$5,000? Heh.

Nobody's gonna top that.

Sold to the sugar
daddy in the back.

Go get your man,
boo. Y'all, I think

dollars for dudes
is a wrap! Ha ha!

What the hell are
you doing here?

I can't believe you didn't
tell me jaymee needed help.

I had to hear about
this from Butler.

Stupid Butler.

Look, man, this is not a joke.

You have to pay what you bid.

I know that. I'm doing
it for jaymee, not you.

Let's get this stupid
date over with.

Hey, guys. You ready?

My bad. I don't think

y'all two have officially met.

Liv, this is...

Alicia, Spencer's girlfriend.

Spencer's girlfriend.

Yeah. I thought you
looked familiar.

You were at my dad's
birthday party, right?

I was. Yeah.

I probably should've
introduced myself.

Well, it's nice meeting you.

I hope you aren't upset
that I'm taking Spencer.

It's for our friend
jaymee, so...

Spencer said the same thing.

Yup.

Well, I know you've
had a rough few days,

so I think I have just the thing

to help you work
out your stress.

Mm.

I'll see you outside.

Yeah. See? Not a big deal.
Everybody's chillin'.

I'm gonna be outside.

So I'm just supposed to beat

the crap outta all this stuff?

You need to get out
of your head, ok?

I know how dark it
can get in there.

Besides, it's better
these things than my dad.

I guess that printer
is kinda asking for it.

I mean, just pretend I used it
to print out my stupid article.

Hey, there was nothing
stupid about your article.

You know, this reminds
me of when we first met.

Remember I helped
you adjust your suit

for that big booster event?

I remember.

Back when people
thought we were related.

Where's my baseball bat?

I used to hoop here all
the time when I was a kid.

Why are you looking at me
like that? I could play.

Look, relax. I just forgot
you grew up around here.

Don't know why that
keeps happening.

Maybe 'cause you keep leaving.

Uh, Coop dropped by earlier.

She said she was worried that
you were thinking about doing

something that you will regret.

Amina's in good hands, you know,

with Coop and Laura.

You should trust that.
It's all gonna work out.

They already screwed up once.

Things might magically
work out for you.

We ain't the same.

People look at you, they see
the million-dollar smile,

the $5-million mansion,
the new high-paying job.

People look at me and
they see a violent ex-con

with two strikes
and a rap sheet.

I don't see that.

Amina don't see that.

Look, they gonna take her away,

and I can't let that happen.

I've missed too much
of her life already.

Yeah, I missed a lot
of Olivia's life, too.

First steps, first day
of school, first dance.

I was always at
practice or on the road.

But then a few
years ago, she, uh,

she o.D.'D

and, uh...

She nearly died.

There were signs,

but I missed those, too.

Look, you and I
are not the same,

but we have both made mistakes.

Thankfully, god gave
me another chance

to be the father that
I know Olivia deserves.

Look, that's all I want.

Well, then...

Don't do whatever it is
you're thinking about doing.

Don't be that guy that
you think people see,

be the man that Amina sees,

the father that she
needs for her future.

You do that, it's
gonna work out.

7... 8...

9...

9 1/2.

10.
10.10, 10, 10.

My, my, my, it looks
like you've got

your dad's...
Well, everything.

Hopefully not his hair. Heh.

Ah, you're up.

You know, I am more
of a hot yoga girl.

I thought that you wanted
a trainer for your date.

I did. And i'm
taking it all in.

So you bought me
to do all the work.

It feels a little bit like...

Oh, no. No, no, no.

You do not get to
pull your black card.

You are your mama's son today.

Fine, fine, fine. But
you are working out, ok?

How about leg press? Let's
try the leg press, shall we?

Press the legs, yes.

I'll show you how it's done.
Just go ahead and sit in it.

Give it a shot. Just
tuck your feet in. In...

Jordan, train me like
one of your French girls.

Ok, date's over.

Oh, I'm just
playing. I'm playing.

Jeez, what is it
with you baker men

getting so nervous around me?

I'm not nervous. Ok, I just...

I have a lot of drama going on
in my life right now. I just...

Oh! I love drama. Fill me in.

Eh...

Or we can keep working out.

I still can't believe you
didn't tell me about jaymee.

You would have known if you
didn't run away from home.

I didn't run away from
home. I ran away from you.

At least I finally
got you to run.

And you pulled my sumo
suits out of the closet.

Now who's turning
this into a joke?

I'm not joking, all right?

I'm trying to make today fun.

Isn't that what jj's all about,

Mr. Fun all the time?

Fun, fun, fun... uhh!

Well, then let's have some fun.

Come on. Put
some muscle into it.

You've got to channel some of that
rage that you've been holding in.

Ok. Ok.

All right. That's better.

But, uh...

I meant a little
bit more like this.

What? It's not all sunsets and
baby goats in my head, you know.

We all got demons.

Bye, Alicia.

So now they're all living
in the same house together?

Mm-hmm.

Ooh, child. Your vortex
is juicier than my soaps.

All you need now
is an evil twin.

That would be Liv.

But my favourite storyline

is this sexy, secret
tryst you have with Layla.

Ok, I have definitely
told you too much.

How about you just watch
me do some more pull-ups?

Oh, no. No, we ain't
shutting this off,

not with the arrival
of Layla's vengeful ex.

Ok, Clay is not her ex.

Ok, they just...

He's not her ex, all right?

But you should hear the
way he talks to her.

Honey, I don't need to.

I've been around a long time

and dated more men than
you need to know about.

Disrespect ain't nothing new.

I mean, Layla's
made it pretty clear

that she doesn't want
me to break his jaw,

but I can't just sit there and
watch him treat her like dirt.

You know you don't
have to throw hands

to make your presence known.

Layla's your queen...

Mm-hmm.

So you can be her knight

and swing your
little sword around,

or you can be her king

and stand by her side
but also have her back.

Hmm.

Hey, why are
you being so petty?

Is it because I
broke up with you?

Did I bruise your fragile ego?

Ha ha! Is that what you think?

God, sometimes I forget
how young you are.

But here you are
acting like a child.

Clay, you go after
every client I want

and you slander
my artists online,

and somehow I'm the child?

That was business, but
you take it personally

because you're a
spoiled little brat

who's still upset that daddy
didn't give her his company.

Keating is not your name, Clay.

And keating records
isn't your legacy.

Like, don't you want your own?

Don't you?

Yeah, that's why I started
formonica records. I...

You know what?

I'm tired of fighting.

Ok? The music industry
is tough enough as it is

without the two of us
sabotaging each other.

Ok, we're both really
good at what we do,

and we should be
boosting each other up,

not whatever this is.

So I will stop using my name.

Ok? You win.

Uhh!

When did I go from being
your friend to your project?

Probably around the same time

I went from being
yours to coach Asher.

Ho ho ho. Some friend.

I got you the job
with coach Mr. Montes,

and you tried to replace
me with that Jabari kid.

I wouldn't have needed to

if you weren't out
partying all the time.

It's offseason!

I am so sick of
that lame excuse.

You never apologised for
setting my furbies on fire.

Dude, we were 8.

It was an accident.

You didn't care about me then,

and you don't care about me now.

You don't think I care?

Everything I've done
is because I care.

If I'm such a bad guy,
why did you bid on me?

Why not just donate the
money and walk away?

Because I missed
you. All right?

Look, if I'm such a bad guy,

why'd you agree to hang out?

'Cause I missed you, too.

Whoo!

Feel better?

Much.

Yeah? Good.

Wanted to get my money's worth.

Uh, and sorry about
outbidding Alicia today.

I wasn't trying to
get you in trouble.

I just... wanted to help you
get you out of your funk.

Well, mission accomplished.

Look, um, I know what
my dad did hurt you.

I get it. And I guarantee
that my dad gets it, too.

Why can't people just
be honest with me?

Because people don't
want to let you down.

You know, if you think about it,

I should be mad, too.

I mean, my article is
the only reason that

that job's even available
in the first place.

And I didn't even
get a thank you.

You want me to book
another hour in here?

Yeah. I do.

You know my dad, Spencer.

He's an ambitious guy.

It's how he got into the NFL.

His whole life's
been about football.

But the one thing that he
cares about more than the game

is family,

and that includes you.

Talk to him.

I did, Liv.

I said talk, not yell.

Have an actual conversation.

You can still say everything
that you need to say,

just calmly.

Well, I ain't got the
energy for much else, so...

Yeah, well, thank
you, rage room.

No.

Thank you.

I needed this.

I needed this, too.

Look at that.

It's finally happened.

We're finally learning
how to be friends again.

Man, I was beginning to
think you wasn't gonna show.

You straight?

I'm good.

Let me know when you're done.

I still can't believe you're
mad about the furbies.

I can't believe you still won't
admit you did it on purpose.

It was an accident.

But I am sorry.

How do you accidentally set
a gaggle of furbies on fire?

But I accept your
apology anyway.

While I'm at it,

sorry that I've
been so judgmental.

I'll stop breathing
down your neck.

Yeah, I'm sorry, too.

I know how important
coaching is to you.

You should have been
able to depend on me.

Eh, it's offseason.

Ok. Lame excuse.

Hey, from now on, I'm gonna
show you what I'm made of.

Jj, I know what
you're made of, man.

I just want everyone
else to see it, too.

You can rest easy,
'cause it didn't happen.

I'm sorry, what didn't happen?

That thing you and
Coop was sweatin'.

Figured that's why you
wanted me to stop by.

I'm proud of you, preach.

I'm happy to hear that.

That's not why I had
you come in, though.

Follow me.

What's this?

Your classroom.

You know I thought Billy was
crazy for bringing you in,

but you proved me wrong.

And with all the extra
hours you've put in here,

plus your bachelor's in English,

the school board is prepared to
offer you a full-time position.

Doing what?

Teaching.

Look, the job is
yours if you want it.

I'm gonna take that as a yes.

Congratulations, cardell Simms.

South crenshaw high
is lucky to have you.

Hell yeah, they
are. You deserve this.

And it didn't even take much
for me to convince them.

Oh, you didn't
convince them at all.

It was his hard work and
dedication that spoke for itself.

Right. But I'm the one that...

That made them aware,

so, you know, team effort.

Thank you. I
won't let you down.

I need to hug someone.

Mmm. Hug Billy.

You can hug me, man.

Ahh.

Thank you, bro.

Yes, yes, yes.

Thank you for looking out for me

when no one else would.

Thank you.

You definitely
seem more relaxed.

I just wish I could have been
the one to get you there.

Guess I should have
brought more money.

Hey, hey.

You get me for free.

It didn't seem like
that yesterday.

I'm sorry.

I just didn't want
to talk about it.

No, you didn't want to
talk about it with me.

I'm your girlfriend, Spence.

I wanna be there for you.

I wanna be there for all of it.

I wanna be there for
the good and the bad.

You gotta start letting me in.

Let me guess. You
want my studio now.

No. You're right.

The fighting needs to stop.

So, um, I'm right?
Just like that?

Not about everything.

But you're right
about keating records.

It isn't my legacy,
but it is my label now,

so why am I using
someone else's name?

Because keating
records is a powerhouse

and you'd be dumb not to use it.

Not if I want my own legacy.

The name is yours.

But I'm keeping my artists,

catalogue, and what's left
of my p.R. Department.

Uh, you think
that's a good idea?

Just take the win, Layla.

But if I fail, I
expect you to be there,

because like you said, we
should help each other out.

Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing here?

Actually, never mind.

I wanted to talk to you.

Listen, we both know

that Layla can
handle herself, ok,

but I would not be a
very good... friend

if I didn't say something.

Then say what you got to say.

Jordan. Uh, he doesn't
got to say anything.

You can disagree with
her all you want,

all right, but you're gonna
disagree with respect.

Otherwise you and I are
gonna have a problem.

Understood.

Jordan, we had just
worked things out.

What part of "I don't need
saving" did you not understand?

I wasn't saving you.
I was supporting you.

It is hard enough that we
are hiding our relationship.

I'm not gonna hide
my feelings, too. Ok?

And I'm not gonna let
anyone disrespect you.

But if that is a deal
breaker for you...

Ok, no. Stop
being so dramatic.

Hmm.

You're a really
good, um, friend.

♪♪ Every time I
get to see you ♪♪

♪♪ I can't help but smile ♪♪

♪♪ 'cause you're a
breath of fresh air ♪♪

♪♪ doesn't matter if I haven't
seen you in a while... ♪♪

Thank you for coming over.

Some friends wanted to see you.

Oh, my god!

Asher said he had
a surprise, but...

Oh, we're
not the surprise.

No, no. Asher would
not be the that cruel.

Oh, unless you're a furby.

Dude.

Go ahead and tell
her the good news already.

Well, we all got together

and... raised money to
pay your hospital bills.

How?

- Uh, wrestling.
- Breaking stuff.

The important thing is
your bills are covered.

So now all you got to worry
about is getting better.

I don't know what to say.

I can't believe you
guys did this for me.

You're part of the vortex now.

We look out for each other.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You see, we are
part of the vortex

and we look out for each other.

Don't push it.

Heh heh.

I don't know how I
missed this before.

Y'all two? So obvious.

Hey, I'm sorry about
everything with my dad.

You know I don't like
keeping things from you.

We cool. I'm just happy

I ain't got to train a
new q.B. Next season,

although I do need to stop
this one from fighting.

Actually, I'm getting
a lot better at that.

Be a king, not a knight, right?

Ok.

How many of those
have you had tonight?

Only 3.

4.

You need to get that
under control, jj.

I mean, everyone
else here might think

that your drunk
stories are funny,

but I was a high
functioning user,

and I see the same thing in you.

You're on a slippery slope.

Fine. I'll dump it. Hmm?

Oh, come on, Liv.

We're all together for the
first time in a long time,

and we did something good today.

Can we just drop it?

Live in the moment?

Get it? Liv in the moment?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

- We can drop it.
- Ok.

It was a good day.

Yes! Ha ha!

Hey. Hi.

What you doing here?

Uh, my parents live
here. Remember?

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

So you here to beat up my dad?

No. Just have a conversation,

like you suggested.

Good. Good.

What?

Yesterday you said

you hate when people
aren't honest with you,

so I should have said what
was really on my mind.

My light never dims
around you, Spencer,

not even a flicker.

Liv...

I don't want to learn
to be friends again

because we're more than that.

And it was damn
hard to get there.

I want you back,

want us back.

How's that for honesty?

I should get going.

You good?

Yeah. Yeah.

So, you have every reason
to be upset with me.

I was not honest with
you, and I'm sorry.

You should know that if
Kenny even had a chance

at getting that job, I
would not have accepted it.

Yeah, but you did. After all your
talk about coming back to crenshaw,

all the work you put
in to become principal,

you did accept that job.

It's not just any job.

Head coach of a d-1 school.

I would be coaching my
own son, both of my sons.

I would be insane to
walk away from that.

And I thought a part of you
would be actually excited for me.

Come on, man.

It ain't about that,

and it ain't about you lying.

It's about what you
meant to crenshaw,

what I thought
crenshaw meant to you.

Your mother laid the
same thing on me.

How come it's ok for your
mother to move off to Oakland,

you can go to college?

I take this job, and all of a
sudden, I'm abandoning the community?

'Cause they need you here.

Coach, all them dudes
at gau, they set.

They don't need you the way
these kids at crenshaw do.

Who they gonna get
to replace you?

There are other coaches.

How many times do
I have to tell you

you are not just a coach?

You're a father,

the only one some of
these kids will ever know.

Who else is gonna care enough
to plan a whole combine, man,

to reach out to
all their contacts?

You, not some rando
on the street. You.

As good as I was,

even I may not have made
it out of here without you.

What does that mean
for everybody else?

You gonna make a
great coach at gau,

but you a great man in crenshaw.

If you ask me,

you'd be insane to
walk away from that.
