Female singer: ?
follow my lead ?

? move your feet, 1, 2,
3, don't skip a beat ?

? I want to see
you live out loud ?

? whoa, whoa... ?

[Clears throat]
What're you doing?

Taking care of
jaymee's first love.

Jaymee's first
love is an orchid?

Look at you.

A man that knows his flowers.

And yes, this orchid and
the rest of her plants

are the bonus kids I gained
when jaymee moved in.

Did you just call those
plants your kids, man?

- I did.
- Mm-hmm.

- Too much?
- Heh heh! No.

It's actually pretty
damn impressive.

Knowing your role is key.

Happy boo, happy you.
Asher: Hey, facts.

Speaking of which, is
single you a happy you?

Alicia and I only broke
up a couple weeks back.

- That's not an answer.
- Ok.

Then I'm happy i'm
not hurting somebody

I care about no
more. There was a lot

in that relationship I
coulda handled better.

Yeah, well, I'd say take
this time to really focus

on yourself, but knowing
you, you'll have your eye

on someone new in all
of, like, two seconds.

Ah, ha ha!

Good point. Where's jaymee at?

- Ok, too soon.
- Ha ha ha!

Hey, man, have
you heard from jj?

I've been trying to give him
the space that he asked for,

but mandatory practices
start next week.

Well, I know he's still
at his parents' house.

Keith's o.D. Shook him
up, man. Asher: Yeah.

That night, he kept saying he didn't
recognise himself in the mirror anymore.

Well, maybe this time
at his parents' is

the peace he needs to get
his head right, you know?

It's been a month,
Spence. What if it's not?

[Olivia and grandma Wendy laugh]

Wendy: Hmm, well,
Spencer's attractive

and handsome, but, oh, my god,

you're a total smoke show,
Olivia. [Olivia laughs]

Ooh, wait. Grandma Wendy,
did you just say...

Smoke show? Absolutely.

I mean, I'm really current
with the times, you two.

I even have an
onlyfans account.

Olivia: Ok. Didn't
need to know that.

Heh! It's just for
legal consultation.

Jordan: Ah, makes sense.
Olivia: Ah, that's a smart move.

Yeah. Wendy: Ok.

[Olivia and Jordan chuckle]

It's good to see the
two of you laughing.

I know the last few months
have been a challenge

for all of you, and
that's why I wanted

to come back and spend
some time with you.

Wendy: How are you both doing?

Uh, we're taking
it a day at a time.

Jordan's really stepped into
his own as man of the house.

And Liv is winning awards,

she's really embracing
her freshman year,

and also, uh, applied for a
cultural exchange program.

Wendy: I'm so proud of both
of you. [Cellphone vibrates]

Oh, I have to take this. Sorry.

Wendy: So how is football
going? Olivia: Hello.

It's good. Brick by brick.

And the ladies in your life?

Aha. Lady, actually.

Layla and I are
officially together.

Layla, who used to
wear the headset?

I forgot about the headset.

Thank you so much for
the ammo. Wendy: Heh! Ok.

Hey. You good?

That was a rep from the
cultural exchange program.

And?

I've been accepted.
Jordan: Yes!

Wendy: Wow.
Congratulations, sweetheart.

That's wonderful.
Jordan: That's amazing.

Now, where are they
sending you, huh? New York?

[Southern accent] Texas?

Wendy: Ha ha! Olivia: London.

Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today

Jordan: London? Olivia: Yeah.

Wow, for... for how long?

The whole summer.

I have a ton of friends there.

I'll get you their
info. Olivia: Ok.

So... [sighs] How do I look?

Like a boss. Mm. Happy
first day back at work, mum.

Now, come here 'cause
Liv and I have made you

fresh berries and
yogurt for breakfast.

Just like dad used
to make for you.

Thank you, my loves.

Do these pants go
with these shoes?

Wendy: Everything looks good
with Prada. [Jordan chuckles]

Are you ok, mum? I mean, I'm not used
to you asking for wardrobe approval.

Um, I guess I'm a little bit
nervous about going back to work.

Anyway, once I get there,
I'll be fine. And besides,

I'm only doing a half
day, so... Jordan: Mm.

Ooh, uh, mum,

before you leave,
Liv has something

that she would
actually love to share.

Have a great first day, mum.

We love you.

Laura: I love you, too.
Ah. Jordan: Here you are.

Laura: Thank you.

Ok. Bye, mum!

Bye. Have a good day.

Uh, what the heck
was that about, dude?

Why didn't you tell
mum about your news?

I, you know, just wanted
her to have her moment.

You know, her first day back
at work is a really big deal.

And so's going to London.

Yeah, but did you guys
not see what I just saw?

She's not ready for all
of these big changes.

I can't bail on
her. Jordan: Hello!

Mum has another kid, who is
slightly better-looking, by the way,

and totally
capable. I got this.

Wendy: I agree. You need to
concentrate on being a student,

and to do that in London
would be an absolute dream.

Jordan: Yeah, and you can't
do that until you talk to mum,

so woman up.

[TV program running,
front door opens]

Spencer: Hey, what up,
y'all? Carter: Hey.

Grace: Hey, baby.
Dillon: Hey, dude.

You want something to eat?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That'd be great.

Ah!

Ok, am I in the James house?

Because since when can we eat
breakfast in front of the TV?

Oh, it's me and
d'Angelo's new tradition.

Grace: They know the rules.

Coasters, napkins,

and not a single crumb.
Carter: No crumbs.

Spencer: Oh. So you
signed off on all this?

'Cause when I tried to
do it when I was a kid,

I got a whooping... and
I was 13. Carter: Damn.

Was whoopings even
legal at that age?

Ah, ha ha.
Everybody got jokes.

Know you would get a whooping.

Man, I was chilling.

You can't take
these two nowhere.

I can see that.

You still need me to take
you to get a haircut later?

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got to look fresh.

Supposed to link up with
my girl Nikki tonight.

Girl as in girlfriend?

Did you know about this?

Grace: I did not. Dillon:
I thought you told her.

That's your mum.

Besides, I didn't know if
I'd be violating bro code.

Dillon: Um, I'm sorry, mum.

It's all good.

Look, you don't have
to tell me everything

that you're doing,
Dillon. As long as you

and your little friend
are happy, I am, too.

[Front door opens, Coop sighs]

Patience: Coop?

Not now, Patience. I got to
grab some stuff for work.

I've been calling and texting
you for almost two weeks now.

I've been staying
with my parents.

Look, I just... I want you
to know I had nothing to do

with that video of
me and Skye kissing.

It don't change what happened.

Come on. That
video was doctored.

I swear, I... I pulled away
the moment it went down.

So if... if you pulled
away, that means

Skye's the one who kissed you.

[Sighs]

I'm sorry, Coop.

If it's any consolation, she felt
terrible right after it happened.

I don't care how she felt.

Does Layla know that
there's some weirdo

spying on folks at her studio?

Nope, not yet.

My only concern has been you.

If you were so
concerned about me,

you would have told me that
my girlfriend betrayed me

instead of letting me get
blindsided by that video.

I'm sorry. It...

[Footsteps ascend stairs]

[Indistinct chatter]

Hey, coach, I was thinking...

Oh, my bad, Shane. I was
looking for coach montes.

Oh, he's talking
to our grounds crew

about tomorrow's first
day of mandatory practice.

Wait, tomorrow? What happened
to starting practice next week?

Nah, coach couldn't wait another
week, so we moved things up.

Know who we can thank
for this, right?

Asher: Me? Shane: Boom!

The way you've been pushing
the boys this off season,

I mean, you even got jj's
head back in the game.

Bet he's chomping
at the bit, too.

Yeah.

Yeah, he is, 100 percent.

Well, can't wait to see him on the
field tomorrow, bright and early.

Let's get to work.

Yes, sir.

Hey, uh, uh, uh, listen,
I don't... I don't mean

to be that guy,
but... grace: What?

I found crumbs on the couch.

Grace: Oh, lord. Ha ha!
Spencer: I'm just sayin'.

You have very specific rules
when it comes to that couch.

There's only one punishment
that fits the crime,

and Dillon is 13,
so... grace: What?

I'MMA go ahead and hold him
down, and you can come in

and do what you do best,
ok? Grace: What? Ha ha!

Would you stop?

Ha ha ha! Oh.

It's good to see you on the
other side of your mountain, son.

I don't know if I'm on
the other side of it yet,

but I'm making progress,

embracing change, you
know? Grace: Mm-hmm.

Is that what you doing?
Embracing change?

You talking 'bout
that damn couch again?

- No. No...
- Ha ha ha!

I'm talkin' bout
Dillon telling Carter

about his new
girlfriend first.

You sure you're
cool with that?

It would've been nice to know,

but I'm fine.

Right. That's why
you had that look

on your face when you
found out, and you even

hit Dillon with the
"little friend" comment.

We all know that's
black mama shade 101.

Ok, fine.

Maybe it did sting a little.

But d'Angelo and Dillon,

they've gotten a chance to

create a bond, and
that's important

and I don't want
to step on that.

[Cellphone vibrates]

I'm sorry. You mind if we
table this for another time?

There is nothing
to table, son.

I am perfectly fine with
your brother forming

a relationship with
his stepfather.

Wait. You and Skye?

It's not what it
looks like, ok?

You had just signed
off on my acoustic tour

and emotions were
running high,

and then Skye, she
just kissed me.

- Ok, why would you record it?
- I didn't.

Wait, you think somebody
hacked your phone?

[Sighs] I don't
know. Maybe they put,

like, spyware on
it or something.

Right, but in order to use spyware, wouldn't
he or she need access to your phone?

She.

Oh, my god. Miko?

Damn it. Patience,
you went back to miko

after I repeatedly told
you to cut her off!

I went to go have a boundaries
conversation with her.

- Oh, ok.
- I owed her at least that

after she helped make the
"fire and ice" video viral.

Well, now you have a
blackmail video, so congrats.

I'm sure the conversation
must have gone great.

- I can talk to her again, ok?
- No, you've done enough,

ok, and clearly I can't trust
you, so as your producer,

I will deal with all
things miko from now on.

Uh, here are the
depositions you asked for.

Oh, thank you.

[Sighs] You good, Ms. Baker?

'Cause you haven't
moved all morning.

That's not true.
I ate my breakfast

and read some emails
and answered my phone,

all from this
ridiculously comfy chair.

Mm-hmm.

Whatever, Coop.
What about you?

[Chuckling] What about me?

Well, you haven't been home in a
few weeks. You want to fill me in?

[Sighs]

School has been...
A challenge.

My professor keeps
coming for me.

First he tried to check me
for using too much slang,

which I wasn't, and then he
claimed I slouch too much.

Laura: Excuse me? Coop: Yeah,

and when I confronted him
about it, he took me off

as lead speaker of my group and
has been ignoring me ever since.

That's retaliation.

He can't do that.

Skye said the same thing.

I mean, I don't know,
maybe I'm not cut out

for this law stuff after all.

Spencer: You reach out to jj?

Yeah, I've been texting
him the past hour. Nothing.

Well, I finally heard
back from his dad.

They are in lake arrowhead,
but jj stayed behind,

insisted he needed
some time alone.

Spencer: And his socials are no help;
They've all been scrubbed clean.

Well, I mean, uh, him getting
some alone time isn't crazy,

considering everything
he's been dealing with.

Well, time's up.
Look, if jj doesn't

show up for practice tomorrow,
he's off the team for good.

Montes made that
clear a few weeks ago.

Ok, I think it's time we pull
up and do a mental health check.

What if he's fine and
it's just his choice?

Only one way to find out.

Jj: Mi compadres.

Jordan: Mi compadre.
Mmm. Ah! Jj: Ha ha ha!

Jordan: You are looking
better than ever, jj.

You look happy and bronzed

and are completely
rocking the hell out

of that smedium-sized shirt.
Jj: Well, thank you, bro.

You know, time away has
done wonders for my temple.

Dude, I've been
texting you for weeks.

My bad, bro. You
know, reception

out here in the hills
is a little sus.

Asher: You left me
on "read." Jj: Uh,

uh, reception for
me, I mean, you know?

Heh! Uh, come in,

huh? Heh!

You good?

Jj: Everything is aces, bro.

Spencer: Yeah? So did
you get some help?

Uh, you... you
mean, like therapy?

Spencer: Yeah. Jj: Heh heh!

No, I didn't need
to. I'm fine.

You know, I just
needed a minute.

Glad to hear you sound
like your old self, jj.

Jj: Feels good.
Fun jj is back.

Uh, not sure if you heard,

but mandatory practices have
been moved up to tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, about that.

Uh, turns out football isn't the only
thing I got behind on this off season.

I have some make-up work
for my psychology class.

If I don't do it, it's, uh,
academic probation for me.

Ouch. What's the
project about?

Jj: Get this.

They want me to do a video
that speaks to who I am,

like I don't know
that already. Heh!

What you planning
on doing about it?

I... I'm circling a few things,
just nothing has spoken to me.

Maybe you should do
something that recaps

your freshman year at coastal.

The highs, the lows.
Spencer: We could record you

talking about your
experiences on camera.

Give you a chance
to speak your truth,

no cap. Like, uh,
"I am athlete."

Jj: Yeah, that's dope.
Heh! Asher: Yeah.

But how about we
make it all of us,

you know? Asher: I
mean, we're down.

Jordan: Hmm. Asher: Right?

Ok, well, I need
to find a room

that is aesthetically epic.

Heh heh! Let's go, baby!

Hee hee! Jordan: There he is.

Jj: Whoo! Jordan: Now, that,

that is the happiest I've
seen jj in a long time.

Yeah, maybe a
little too happy.

That dude couldn't even
look us in the eye, j.

He is pretending. Trust
me, as somebody who spent

a long, long time faking
it like everything was ok,

that dude is in a freefall.

We just gotta figure out
a way to make him see it.

[Sighs]

[Door opens, closes]

Laura: Livvy, what're
you doing here?

Olivia: I brought you lunch.
Laura: Except that you knew

I was only doing a
half day, so try again.

Jordan ran his mouth
already, didn't he?

He might have mentioned that
you had something to tell me

before you rushed me out
the door this morning.

So sit.

I want all the tea.

Well, it's... heh! Funny
that you mention tea

because the place
that I want to talk

to you about is kind
of obsessed with it.

[Gasps] Are you
going to London?

Is that where the cultural
exchange program placed you?

Olivia: It is.
Laura: Oh, my god!

That's so amazing!

So proud of you.

When do you leave?

Well, that's the thing.

Uh, no. Mm-mm. Don't even
try it. You're going, kiddo.

Mum, you want me
to leave and be ok,

but how... how can I do
that when I know you're not?

Laura: Liv, i'm
fine. Olivia: Really?

So you didn't spend
all day today thinking

that you came back
to work too soon?

Ok,

you might be right about that,

but I need the time
out of the house.

It's the only way I'm going
to find my life again.

Finding your life again I get,

but I don't think that
coming back to work

is the best way
for you to do that.

And you think you being
here instead of London

is the best way for
you to find you?

Maybe it's time we both
take an honest look

at what's best for both of us.

Ok, so how are we gonna
convince jj to open up?

We lead by example.

We all speak the truth
about our freshman year,

we hold nothing back, and
then, fingers crossed,

by his turn,
he'll do the same.

Hmm.

All right, huh?

Who's up first?

I'll take one for the team.

Professor hill: So,
today, we'll discuss

the "kern vs.
Tarzana" school case.

An 18-year-old by the name
of Teri kern was arrested

for possession of marijuana
with intent to distribute.

She claimed that the
illegal search of her purse

was a direct violation
of which amendment...

Kurt?

[Quietly] The
fourth amendment.

What's that, Kurt?

Laura: Uh, the
fourth amendment.

Sorry. I was supposed
to be observing quietly,

but being in this
setting, I was

getting flashbacks of
being a law student.

Former, uh, D.A. baker, to
what do we owe the pleasure?

Laura: Professor Jacobs was
kind enough to give me a tour

of the building, and I
heard you from the hallway.

Do you mind if I sit in?

[Chuckling] Oh, not at all.
Please, uh, be my guest.

Laura: Thank you.

[Door opens, closes] Do you
mind if I take your seat?

Student: Sure.
Laura: Thank you.

Give me one word to sum
up your freshman year.

Growth.

I started this
season on the bench,

and then I made a game-saving
play on special teams,

and then I went
first-team all-freshman.

Wow. Whole season was a movie.

If that was a movie, then the
off season was a bad sequel.

I broke up with
two girlfriends.

Jordan: Eh, technically one,

ok? The other one
beat you to it.

Thanks for keeping me
humble, j. Uh, heh!

Making decisions
for other people

instead of letting
them make it themselves

is something that
always haunted me.

And then I lost the
greatest man I ever knew...

But, in spite of all
that pain and regret,

I learned how to ask for help,

how to lean on my village.

I learned that it's ok for the
strong friend to be vulnerable.

Or in your case,
the fun friend.

Those walls ain't
always got to be up, jj.

Uh, uh, appreciate that, but
we're focused on you, Spence.

And plus, that doesn't
really apply to me.

Now, c'mon, bruh,

all the big energy,
all the jokes,

it's become a
crutch for you, man,

a mask for you to hide behind.

Look, real talk, this year's
been tough for you, too.

Now, I found safety
in my village.

You can find
safety in us, too,

but you got to talk to us.

Look, I know it sounds corny,

but Dr. Spears
always says, man,

you cannot heal

until you feel.
Jj: Yeah, well,

doc mcstuffins would
diagnose what you just said

as over-react-itis. Heh heh!

Yo, really, jj? After
everything Spence just said,

that's all you got? Jj:
Chill. It was a joke.

Yeah, but this ain't, ok?

[Sighs]

We trying to be here for
you. [Cellphone vibrates]

Yeah, go ahead and take that.

Spencer: It's all
good. It's just Dillon.

I was supposed to take him to get a
haircut, but I can push that back.

No, you should go now.

Yeah, I mean... heh!

Done with your part anyway.

[Quietly] What're
you doing here?

[Quietly] I felt the
need to be nostalgic.

How's it going with
your professor?

I'm good, all right? I don't
need your help fighting this.

Ok, but how do I fight this?

I think you know
what to do, Coop.

If I air him out
for ignoring me,

he's gonna kick me
out of class for good.

So maybe it's time
you explain to him

why retaliation is just
another form of bullying.

Oh, we got it.

Ok, anybody care to
weigh in on the merit

of Teri kern's defence?

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

You've shared plenty in
the past, Ms. Cooper.

Just trying to give
somebody else a chance.

Coop: Of course.

Because any other reason could
be considered retaliation,

which, under title 9, goes
against the school policy.

A professor cannot prevent
a student from participating

in an activity or exercising
their rights in class.

[Chuckling] Well, since, uh,

no one else is
inclined to weigh in

on the kern defence, you
may answer, Ms. Cooper.

Female singer: ? be
quiet, got it capping ?

? out the mouth, stay lying,
try and watch how I... ?

[Singing continues
indistinctly]

Um... where's Patience?

Heh! I was supposed to
meet with both of you.

And discuss what? How you're
a total creep who put spyware

on her phone to
track her every move?

Oh, so I'm the reason
she got sloppy with Skye?

The girl you hired, who
was clearly crushing

on Patience, but you were
too preoccupied to notice?

And you know that
how? Oh, right,

because you've
been stalking her.

[Miko sighs] Woman:
Kamiko Scott?

Yeah?

You've been served.

Miko: A restraining order?
Layla: You are no longer

to come within 50
feet of Patience.

Doesn't matter if that's
here, her concert, my home.

Everything is off limits, and I
strongly advise you not to try me.

So, wait, you're punishing me
for looking out for my girl?

- She's not your girl, miko.
- 'Course she is!

I'm the one leading her most
popular fan page, the reason

her "fire and ice" video just hit 8
million views, the reason her fans love

Patience no matter what
she does. Me, Layla.

Not Skye.

Not Gia,

me.

And the best part
is I do it for free.

Because I love her.

For the last time,

if you come near Patience
again, you will be arrested.

I was 6 years old when I knew I
was destined to be a quarterback.

Jj: Yeah? How?

I threw a pass that broke

the front window
of our house, so...

Wait. I remember
that. You blamed Liv.

Jordan: I did. Oh,
and it wasn't until

my dad praised Liv for
having such a great arm

that I admitted it was me.

My dad's reaction to
that was everything.

You know, for the next hour,
he would just scratch his neck

and say, "ok, ok, ok."

I spent the next 12 years
chasing that reaction.

And it wasn't until
I... I landed at gau

as a preferred walk-on that
I... I realized I could thrive

without him as my coach,
which was... bittersweet.

And then you became qb1.

I did, which was awesome.

And then my world
came crashing down.

And it sucks that... that
it took losing my dad

to find my own identity, my
own version of a baker man.

But it's the blessing that came
out of the worst time of my life.

And I got there

with the help of my family,

our vortex,

and the best girlfriend
a guy could ask for.

One word to describe
your freshman year.

Maturity.

Yeah, I am proof that
growth is possible,

no matter how messy
your life can get.

What about you, jj?
What is your word?

C'mon, man. First
Spence, now you?

Look, I'm just sayin', things got
really real for you this year.

I mean, that had to mess with
your head a little bit, no?

Jj: Yeah. Jordan: J...

Asher: Dude.

Yo, I appreciate you for
taking me to the barber shop.

Oh, man, you know I
got you, just like

I would have had you if
you came to me for advice

about your new girl.

- You know I love you, right?
- I do.

But there's no way i'm
asking you for girl advice.

That vortex you got
going on is messy, bruh.

What? M...

- Exactly. Super messy. [Scoffs]
- It is kind of messy.

But I got to get
ready, though.

D'Angelo is taking us
to the arcade tonight.

You know I love you, right?

- I do.
- And I'm really digging

what you and Carter
are building.

I ain't have nothing
like that when I was

your age, but
between you and me,

mums is feeling
kinda left out.

- For real?
- She'll never say anything,

but... yeah.

Look, I know it's
not intentional,

but you got to try
to keep in mind, man,

you and me, for
the longest time,

we were the centre of
everything for her.

So when it comes to being a
part of all the important stuff,

like a first girlfriend...

That means something to her,

and it means
something to me, too.

Nah, you right. I feel you.

[Cellphone vibrates]

You good?

Yeah. Looks like the guys weren't
able to get through to jj.

He still ain't
talking to them.

Then maybe find someone
he will talk to,

like someone he
owes explanation to

or someone that it'll mean
something to in a bigger way.

Hmm.

Professor hill: So you're saying Teri kern
was within her rights to sue her high school,

even though she was the
one arrested for narcotics.

Coop: Yes.

Just because she had it in her purse
doesn't mean she was gonna sell it.

- Why even have it, then?
- Because she was holding it

for her grandfather,
who smoked marijuana

to help with his glaucoma.
But at the time, weed was

illegal in California, so
she had to take the fall.

Nobody ever took the time
to ask her why she had it.

They just threw her in the county
jail, where she stayed for two years.

[Students groan] Professor
hill: Mrs. Baker,

you were a D.A. tough
on drugs. Thoughts?

I actually worked on this
case as a young attorney,

and we pushed for an appeal
and got Teri released.

Had her previous
attorneys done what

Tamia just recommended, she
never would have been jailed.

So who's to blame for this?

Coop: A system that thrives
on unconscious bias.

Professor hill: Yeah,
but that argument

will never hold up
in a court of law.

Yes, it will, the
more we normalise it

and make it a part of
the bigger conversation.

Laura: Tamia's right. Times
are changing, professor hill.

Attorneys who look and
sound like Tamia got next.

She's the disruptor
that this system needs,

so you either get on
board or get run over.

Wendy: Here you go, sweetie.

Oh. What's this?

Contact info for my
friends in London.

And before you say anything,
they know kids your age.

That is very sweet,
grandma. Thank you.

Of course. So
when're you leaving?

I'm still sorting that out.

What else is
there to sort out?

Uh, y'know, just making sure their social
justice program is the right fit for me.

If it wasn't the right fit,
you wouldn't have applied.

So what's the real hold up?

Is it Spencer?

I saw the way the two of
you looked at each other

in that photograph
from the fashion show.

Yeah, our thing is, um...

Complicated.

Are you waiting for him
to come back to you?

Not waiting, just...

Wondering.

That's kind of the same thing.

And the last time I
checked, us fine women

don't wait or wonder.

Listen, it's ok

to be a little selfish
and focus on yourself,

which is what fate is
telling you to do, Liv.

Olivia: Hmm. Wendy:
And if I were you,

I would listen to fate.

She can be a pushy bitch.

Olivia: Heh!
[Cellphone vibrates]

Wendy: In all seriousness,

you need to be whole before
you can give all of yourself

to Spencer, and I'm not sure
you're there yet, sweetie.

[Asher sighs]

[Scoffs] You guys
are still here?

Look, it's clear that you don't want
to open up to us, and that's cool.

We promised to help you with your psych
project, so I stayed to do just that.

I'm up, right?
Jj: Yeah, but...

I don't need you ambushing me
with fake therapy whatever.

No ambush. Gonna
shoot straight.

Ahem.

You're up, ash.

Ok.

My freshman year was...

Different.

It's been exciting
and unpredictable,

but I'm not here to talk
about my freshman year.

I'm here to talk about
yours, since you won't.

What the hell are
you doing, man?

Being straight up
like I said I would.

Freshman year for jj
Parker. Let's see.

You were arrested for
scootering while drunk,

but that's light in
comparison to the blackouts

and the day parties and, oh,

the whiskey rager,
where I'm not sure you

ever apologized
to Jordan for all

the disrespectful crap
you said about Layla.

But the pi�ce de r�sistance

is when you showed up to
coach baker's repast hammered.

Hammered, jj!

For a man who went above
and beyond for you,

spitting in the face of
Liv's pain and sobriety!

Ash.

Chill.

But when we needed help to raise
money for jaymee's medical bills,

you... you showed
up in the clutch,

plus the many other times
you've had our backs.

We just wanna help
you, dude, that's it.

- I don't need your help!
- There it is!

That is the first honest
emotion that we've seen, jj!

You know what, screw you, ash.

And screw this
project. I'm done.

I'm also done with you guys trying
to play shrink like I owe you that.

I don't owe you anything!

But you owe me, don't you?

You owe me an apology,
at the very least.

But, as your friend,

I'm standing here offering
you a chance to do more.

A chance to make things right.

[Knock on door]

Got you a new phone.

Oh, thank you. [Chuckles]

- Oh.
- Uh, how was miko?

I, uh, filed a
restraining order

against her; She can't
come within 50 feet of you,

no matter where you
are. Patience: Oh, ok.

Thank you for that,
too. Layla: Yeah.

- Look, I know I messed up.
- Yes, you did.

But I shouldn't have
come down on you so hard.

I just want you to be safe.

And I will. I... I get it now.

She totally reminds
you of Carrie, so...

No.

With Carrie,

even in the middle
of her breakdown,

there was still
humanity in her eyes.

That's why I knew I
could get through to her.

I did not see that
today with miko.

Patience, she's
seriously unwell.

Hmm.

Look, we're still, uh,

we'll still do your live in a
few to promote the acoustic tour.

I think it'll be good to
get your mind off things.

Um... tsk. Yeah,
I'm gonna get ready.

Ok.

Ok.

[Footsteps retreating]

Thank you for today, ok?

You didn't have to show up.

I am a queer black
woman, and I deal

with this kinda
nonsense every day.

Doesn't make it right.

Besides, I should
be thanking you.

Being in that classroom

fed my soul in a way
I did not expect.

I could tell. I mean, it
felt like you were at home.

Yeah, I was.

I'm not talking
about as a student.

Oh, come on, Coop.

There's no room for
me to be a professor.

I have a day job.
We have a day job.

Hey, I'm just saying,
it's just... it's been

a while since I've
seen you that happy,

and if I'm being
completely honest,

it's the professors
who look, listen,

and sound like you
who should have next.

[Cellphone vibrates]

But just think about it.

Ok, excuse me.

I'm sorry, Liv.

I wish I could make up for what
happened at coach baker's repast,

and all the other times
I fumbled my choices.

You can. You start
by being honest.

I just want to have a
conversation with the real you.

You want honest?

I don't even know
who the real me is.

[Breath trembling]

You can turn on the camera.

I want to record it.

Who knows if I'll ever be
able to say it all again.

Yes, paybae1250, um,

the acoustic tour
is still happening.

But before I get into all
the details about that,

uh, I wanted to
talk about something

that's been really
heavy on my heart.

First of all, I love you guys.

I mean, there's no me
without my Patience-zeroes.

But... if I take
a selfie with you,

or I sign an autograph,

that doesn't make me
your personal property.

Tsk. Um...

So somebody that I love,

that, like, means
the world to me,

was really hurt by something
that one of my fans did.

And I... I won't let
that happen again.

Tsk.

This bitch.

Oh, my god! Can
you stop already?

Ok, you know what?

Y'all want to look
for somebody to troll,

why don't y'all look up

miko�_azero4eva.

She's the fan who violated
my privacy in a way that...

That I will never
forget. Or forgive.

So, yeah, drag her with as many
negative comments as possible,

and then unfollow her, and
then block her ass immediately.

How's that for
boundaries, miko?

It's like my life
is like a coin.

Fun jj on one side and...

I have no idea
what's on the other.

Guess I was too
afraid to really look.

When did you start being fun?

You know how my
parents are realtors

for some of the most
baller clients? [Scoffs]

They used to throw these
epic parties at our house

for their clients, and i'd
be the only kid there. Heh!

And I... I was a chubby
kid who looked like chunk.

Wait, like chunk
from "the goonies"?

Heh! And in case you're
wondering, my version of chunk's

"truffle shuffle"
dance was killer. Heh!

I did it for one of
my parents' clients.

He laughed for an
hour straight. Heh!

That was the first time I ever
realised my funny had value.

My parents loved it, so it became
a thing I did... [sniffles]...

To get laughs from the
rents, the clients, everyone.

Being fun jj got
you their attention.

And then attention
in middle school

and high school.

It became the thing
that defined me.

It was all I knew.
But somewhere,

during my freshman year,
it got out of hand.

You know, especially trying
to be that every day...

And then coach baker passed,

and then Keith almost od'd.

The fun was no longer
fun. [Breath catches]

And once I lost that...

You thought you lost you.

Jj: Yeah. Olivia:
But the truth is,

is you had just finally got
a glimpse at the other side

of the coin, the real you.

The one that we've
known all along.

How, if I didn't
even know him?

'Cause he was there
the whole time.

Fun jj was just a part.
Like, it wasn't fun jj

that convinced his 3 best
friends to rent a beach house

just so he could keep this
vortex family together.

Mm-mm. That was the real one.

Jordan: The way that you
showed up for me after

my concussion... real jj.

Asher, chuckling: The guy that threw
the Halloween murder mystery party...

Spencer: Mm.

Asher: To remind
us the importance

of what we built as
friends... real jj.

Olivia: And yes, they were fun

and sometimes messy,
but... [jj chuckles]

These epic moments of
the vortex's history,

they were inspired
by a guy who does

what he does as an
expression of love.

I mean, the vortex
wouldn't be what it is

without the love that
you poured into it, jj.

Into each one of us.

Asher: That's who
the real jj is.

He's love, and I think
it's pretty great

you're finally getting
a chance to meet him.

Olivia: Accepting him

and unpacking all
the sides of jj,

it's not gonna always
be easy and comfortable.

That's why you have us.

Male singer: ? keep
holding on, holding on ?

Jj, sobbing: Wow.
Thank you, guys.

Spencer: And whenever you're
ready, there's always gonna be

a safe space for you back
at the beach house, bro.

Your room is waiting, a'ight?

Singer: ? keep holding
on, holding on... ?

Spencer: Hey, get yourself
together. [Jj laughing]

[All laughing] Singer:
? keep holding on ?

? holding on for
brighter days ?

Jordan: Oh! Jj: Ha ha!

Carter: Got you 2
pieces? Dillon: Yes, sir.

Man, you got all the big ones.
Grace: Hey, is this from hal's?

Dillon: Yes, ma'am, your
favourite breakfast spot.

Spencer: Oh, you just... grace:
Wait! Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!

We can sit on the
couch. Spencer: Even me?

Ha ha ha! Grace: Boy, if you
don't get your butt over there.

[Grace and Spencer laugh]

So, how did your date go
with your little friend...

I mean... Nikki?

Dillon: Yeah, uh, she
stood me up last night.

She what?

I wanted to go to the arcade, she
didn't want to do that again, so...

Spencer: You know there's other
things to do there, right?

Carter: Miniature golf.
Spencer: Batting cages.

Carter: Or you could win her
one of those stuffed animals.

Grace: Or, or you
could've just asked

Nikki what does
she want to do.

Dillon: Ok, uh, I
mean, she likes movies.

Well, then take her
to see one then.

But the movies ain't
really it, like,

we can't even talk in there.

Sometimes it's
not about talking.

It's about the
experience together,

time together,

and growth together.

It takes two to make a
relationship work, baby.

Don't forget that.

Dillon: Would you mind

chaperoning on our movie date?

[Carter and Spencer
chuckle] Grace: Ha ha ha!

I would love to.
Dillon: Thanks,

'cause it seems like
I can't learn anything

about the ladies
from these two.

[Grace laughs]

Spencer: Man, if I wasn't so
scared of spilling anything,

I'd whup you. [Carter
and grace laugh]

Jj: Hey.

Yo, welcome back,
man. You good?

I was actually looking
for coach montes,

uh, but you should
probably hear first.

Um, after talking to you
guys last night, I realised

I need to step
away from the team.

Now, if you do this, jj...

You know that means you're
off the roster, right?

I do. But I need time to
get things right with me

and my mental
health, you know,

do more work on the real jj.

Once I'm in a better place, i'd
love a chance to earn my spot back,

but, uh, until
then... sorry, ash.

No, no. Don't be, dude.

I'm just proud that you're
doing the work. And listen,

I can't promise anything
about your spot on the team

in the future, but
I can promise you

that we got your back
every step of the way,

all right?

Asher: I'm proud of you, bro.

You did the right
thing last night.

I dunno.

Like, I really
went in on miko.

[Sighs] Well,

I appreciate that
you did it for me.

Tsk. Whatever. I
didn't do it for you.

- Ha ha! Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't.

I got the receipts
if you wanna see it.

- Shut up.
- Shoot.

I really am sorry

that miko messed
with your life.

- [Sighs]
- How're you and Skye?

[Sighs] Who knows?

But thank you for
having my back,

my side, my everything.

C'mon, girl. You
know I got you.

[Both chuckle]

Jordan: There he
is. Jj: Heh heh heh!

Jordan: What took you so long?

I, uh, I had to make
a stop at coastal.

Liv offered to come along
for emotional support.

Spencer: You turn in
your video? Jj: Yup.

And if it's cool with y'all, uh, I
want to post it to my socials, too.

Oh, introducing the world
to the real you, huh?

I just figured it'd be good for
the fun friend or strong friend

or any other friend who's afraid to
flip that coin to hear our stories.

That is awesome.
You know what,

let me help you out with your
bags up to your room. Come on.

Take them upstairs.
Jj: Heh heh!

Oh, ignore the giraffes
on the wall. Just...

Wait, you guys turned
my room into a nursery?

Uh, technically,
Asher and jaymee did,

but don't you
worry, all right?

There is nothing 3 coats
of paint can't fix, right?

Jj: Heh heh! [Jordan
makes brushing sounds]

[Chuckles]

Thank you for
showing up yesterday.

Jj wouldn't be
here without you.

And I wouldn't be
here without him.

Hearing him speak
his truth to Asher,

it... it really
hit home for me.

Good. Ok.

So...

Tsk.

I, uh,

got into this cultural
exchange program.

For real?

Yeah.

It's, uh... it's a
three-month internship...

And it's in London.

And I'm going.

That is dope. [Chuckles]

That's so dope.
[Olivia chuckles]

And well-deserved. Hey,
I'm proud of you, girl.

- Thank you.
- Ha ha!

I'm so proud of you.
Olivia: Thank you.

Greg, move your head.
