[WHISTLE BLOWS]

WOMAN: SPENCER,
AT TWO TOUCHDOWNS,

147 YARDS RECEIVING,
YOU'VE REALLY BECOME A STAR

THESE PAST FEW GAMES.
SPENCER: UM, I DON'T PAY NO MIND

TO THAT INDIVIDUAL STUFF.
THIS WAS A TEAM EFFORT.

WADE: HEH HEH!
LOOK, I'LL ANSWER THAT FOR HIM.

EVERYONE CAN SEE THAT S.J.'s
GREATNESS IS UNDENIABLE.

NOW HERE'S THE BRUTAL TRUTH.
JORDAN: "S.J."?

WADE: SOME PLAYERS BELONG
ON THE BENCH...

WELL, THOSE ARE
THE BOY'S INITIALS.

IT'S JUST A TRAGEDY
S.J.'s CRAZY TALENT

WAS WASTED FOR HALF
THE SEASON.

ARE YOU CRITICIZING
COACH GARRETT'S
DECISION TO KEEP

SPENCER ON SPECIAL TEAMS
FOR SUCH A LONG TIME?

HEH HEH!
YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR A QUOTE.

IT'S A NICE TRY,
BUT IT'S LIKE THIS.

WATER RISES
TO ITS LEVEL, RIGHT?

WELL, I'M WATERS.
SPENCER'S THE LEVEL.

WADE: I MEAN, HIS PRESENCE
ALONE RAISES THE CALIBER
OF PLAY ON THE FIELD.

AIN'T THAT RIGHT?
SPENCER: AHEM.

ALL I KNOW IS
WADE WATERS

IS THE BEST Q.B. IN
THE COUNTRY, AND SO

PLAYING WITH HIM PUTS
GREATNESS WITHIN REACH
FOR ALL OF US.

WADE: HEY, NOW HOW'S THAT
FOR A QUOTE? COME HERE.
GOOD GAME.

WADE: EVERYONE CAN SEE
THAT S.J.'s GREATNESS
IS UNDENIABLE.

NOW HERE'S
THE BRUTAL TRUTH.
SOME PLAYERS BELONG

ON THE BENCH, OTHERS
BELONG ON THE FIELD.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]

ASHER: YOU WANTED
TO SEE ME, COACH?
WADE: IT'S JUST A TRAGEDY--

TELL ME
ABOUT SPENCER JAMES.

HEH! WELL, HE'S
THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER

I'VE EVER PLAYED WITH
OR AGAINST.

WELL, AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE
PLAYING HIM AT HOMECOMING.

THERE'S NOT A LOT
OF GAME FILM ON HIM YET.

ALL WE KNOW IS THAT HE WAS
A HIGH-SCHOOL ALL-AMERICAN

AND A SPECIAL-TEAMS PLAYER
FOR MOST OF THIS YEAR.

NOW HE SEEMS TO BE
THE PRIMARY FOCUS

OF G.A.U.'s OFFENSE,
AND AS A TRUE FRESHMAN,

THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
ASHER: LIKE I SAID,
HE'S THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN.

[INHALES DEEPLY]
AND YOU'RE HIS
ROOMMATE, RIGHT?

YEAH. WHY?

'CAUSE I'M GONNA NEED YOU
TO DO A FULL SCOUTING
REPORT BY TOMORROW.

- WHAT, BECAUSE
HE'S MY ROOMMATE?
- NO.

NO, BECAUSE YOU
PLAYED WITH HIM
AND AGAINST HIM.

YOU KNOW HIM BETTER
THAN ANYONE.

I NEED TO KNOW
HIS STRENGTHS,
HIS WEAKNESSES.

I WANT TO MAKE HIM
A NONFACTOR
AT HOMECOMING.

LOOK, ASHER, IF THIS
IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU,

I CAN GIVE IT
TO SOMEONE ELSE.

I JUST THOUGHT
YOU'D BE EXCITED
ABOUT YOUR FIRST

COACHING ASSIGNMENT.
ASHER: NO, NO, NO, I--I AM.

I AM. THANK YOU.
MONTES: THIS ISN'T
JUST ABOUT SPENCER JAMES.

HE'S THE FOCUS, BUT I
NEED A FULL SUMMARY

ON THAT ENTIRE OFFENSE,
TOP TO BOTTOM.

THINK YOU COULD PUT
THAT TOGETHER FOR US?

YES, SIR.

"BEST QUARTERBACK
IN THE COUNTRY."

WELL, THE BOY CAN
SLING THAT BALL.

- THANKS, DAD.
- WAIT. OK.

ARE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO
LIKE HIM OR SOMETHING?
WHAT'S GOING ON?

- WADE IS MY COMPETITION.
- I KNOW, BUT HE'S ALSO
YOUR TEAMMATE.

YOUR REAL COMPETITION IS
WEARING A DIFFERENT UNIFORM.

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
PLAYING AGAINST HIM, RIGHT?

OK, SO YOU THINK
HE'S THE BEST IN
THE COUNTRY, TOO?

J., AT YOUR LEVEL,
YOU'RE EITHER PLAYING
WITH OR AGAINST

THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU WANT ME TO SAY.

I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE
GIVEN ME THAT ADVICE
BEFORE I TOLD WADE I WAS

COMING FOR HIS SPOT.
NOW I JUST FEEL
LIKE AN IDIOT.

ALL I'VE DONE
EVER SINCE IS WEAR OUT
THE PAINT ON THE BENCH.

EVEN SPENCER THINKS HE'S BETTER.
BILLY: OK.

BABY BOY, YOU NEED
TO GET YOURSELF TOGETHER.

- [SIGHS]
- YOU'RE BEING WAY
TOO SENSITIVE RIGHT NOW.

YOU GOT TO GET OVER IT.
YOU FEEL ME?

DO YOU FEEL ME?

- YEAH.
- ALL RIGHT. GIMME THAT JUICE.

[SIGHS]

SINCE WHEN DO YOU COOK?

MMM, SINCE THE SERVICE FEES
ON THOSE FOOD DELIVERY APPS

BECAME MORE EXPENSIVE
THAN THE ACTUAL FOOD.

- YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
- HEH!

IT DOES SMELL PRETTY GOOD
IN HERE, THOUGH.

GIRL, KELIS AIN'T JUST,
LIKE, A SINGER-SONGWRITER.

SIS GOT RECIPES, TOO.

[SIGHS]
YEAH.

OH. WOW.
THOSE ARE GORGEOUS.

YEAH.
THEY'RE...FOR YOU.

[SIGHS]

COOP--
COOP: I DIDN'T SEND 'EM,

ALL RIGHT?
THEY WAS AT THE DOOR.

WHAT?

OH, MY GOD.

OH, WOW.
THESE ARE FROM SABINE.

HA! OK.
I'M GONNA, UH,

I'M GONNA PUT
THESE IN A VASE.

THAT'S SO NICE.

[CHUCKLES]

[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

MALE SINGER: ♪ HOLD UP,
WHAT YOU WAITING FOR? ♪

J.J.: UP, UP. HERE WE GO.
FOUR SECONDS LEFT.

NUMBER 11 NEARS
THE END ZONE.

OH, HE TOUCHES BACK
INSIDE, CROSSES

THE 10-YARD LINE.
WILL HE MAKE IT?

J.J. AND ASHER: TOUCHDOWN!
HA HA! TOUCHDOWN!

J.J.: WITH A BEAUTY! HA HA!
ASHER: HE'S UNSTOPPABLE!

Y'ALL ARE STUPID, MAN.
WHAT'S UP?

J.J.: WHAT'S UP, MAN?
ASHER: HEY, MAN, SERIOUSLY,

GREAT GAME, DUDE.
SPENCER: THANKS, BRUH.

PAYING FOR IT NOW,
THOUGH.

I FEEL LIKE I GOT
RUN OVER BY A BUS.

ASHER: YEAH?
SPENCER: MM-HMM.

WHAT HURTS?
YOUR ANKLE?

NO.

BACK? HANDS?
HOW YOUR HANDS FEEL?

MY HANDS ARE FINE, BRUH.
YOU GETTING INTO PHYSICAL
THERAPY NOW OR SOMETHING?

J.J.: COACH MR. MONTES
HAS ASH ON SOME
SECRET-AGENT BIZ

FOR THE BIG G.A.U.-
COASTAL HOMECOMING GAME.

ASHER: YEAH, HE ASKED ME TO DO
A FULL SCOUTING REPORT

ON YOU, JORDAN, SOME OF
THE OTHER G.A.U. GUYS.

SPENCER: FOR REAL?
ASHER: YEAH. IT'S MY FIRST

OFFICIAL ASSISTANT COACH
ASSIGNMENT, SO...

- THAT IS DOPE. CONGRATS, MAN.
- HEY, THANK YOU.

- I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.
SO WHAT YOU GOT ON ME?
- OH, UH,

YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT
AND SEE, GAME NIGHT.

OH, IT'S LIKE THAT?
OK, OK, WELL, WHILE

YOU'RE WRITING YOUR
LITTLE REPORT THERE,
JUST REMEMBER, I'M 6'1".

J.J.: HA HA HA!
ASHER: 6'1"?

NO, YOU--YOU'RE NOT
LISTENING.

YOU GOT TO FACTOR IN
THE CLEATS.

THE CLEATS ARE A PART
OF THE WHOLE--
J.J.: OH, OH,

DO THE CLEATS HAVE
HEELS NOW? IS THAT--

ASHER: I THINK THAT'S A--
THAT'S A BIG HEEL.

J.J.: HA HA HA!
SPENCER: Y'ALL GOT JOKES.

OK, OK. Y'ALL SUPPOSED
TO BE MY FRIENDS,

BUT OK, DON'T EVEN
WORRY 'BOUT IT.

JORDAN: YEAH, WELL,
REAL FRIENDS KEEP YOU

GROUNDED, SO...

ASHER: UH, EXACTLY.
THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T

LET YOU GET TOO HIGH
ON YOUR OWN GREATNESS.

FEEL ME?
SPENCER: GREATNESS?

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT
THAT REPORTER SAID
IN THAT INTERVIEW.

IT'S CRAZY, MAN.
TWO WEEKS AGO, COACH GARRETT
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME,

AND NOW I'M THE HEART
OF THE ENTIRE OFFENSE?
IT FEELS LIKE A FLUKE.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF THAT'S SUSTAINABLE
GAME TO GAME.

JORDAN: YEAH, WELL,
I DON'T KNOW.

I WOULDN'T WORRY
ABOUT IT TOO MUCH, S.J.

I THINK YOU'LL BE FINE.

I MEAN, YOU DO HAVE ONE
OF THE BEST QUARTERBACKS

IN THE COUNTRY TOSSING
YOU THE ROCK, RIGHT?

AM I MISSING SOMETHING, MAN?
YOU WALKED IN HERE

LIKE YOU HAD SOMETHING
TO SAY, SO YOU MIGHT
AS WELL JUST SAY IT.

I MEAN, YOU CHANGED
YOUR MIND ABOUT WADE
PRETTY DAMN QUICK

THE MINUTE HE STARTED
TALKING YOU UP.

THAT'S SOME SERIOUS
BACKPEDALING.

THIS TENSION IS
BUMMIN' ME OUT.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, MAN.
IT AIN'T LIKE I'M
BEST FRIENDS WITH THE DUDE.

AND SINCE WHEN
IS IT A CRIME TO CHANGE
YOUR MIND ABOUT SOMEBODY?

WHEN YOU AND I FIRST MET,
WE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE EACH
OTHER. YOU REMEMBER THAT?

YEAH, SUDDENLY I
REMEMBER IT REALLY WELL.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
GUYS, HEH! COME ON.

WE'RE ALL FRIENDS
HERE, RIGHT?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD BOTH
JUST WALK AWAY, RELAX

BEFORE YOU SAY
SOMETHING YOU CAN'T

TAKE BACK, YEAH?

GUYS?

IT'S NOT LIKE I SAID
JORDAN WASN'T A GREAT QB.

ALL I DID WAS
COMPLIMENT WADE'S SKILLS
AFTER A GOOD GAME.

WELL, WE BOTH KNOW
HOW BAD JORDAN WANTS TO
GET BACK OUT ON THE FIELD.

IT'S ONLY A MATTER
OF TIME.

THAT BOY IS TOO
TALENTED NOT TO PLAY.

WHATEVER.
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

IT'S NOT
OUR FIRST FIGHT,
AND WE FAMILY.

WE GOT EVERYTHING WE
NEED HERE?

- A BLANKET?
- CHECK.

SNACKS
AND REFRESHMENTS?

CHECK.

AND...CHECK.

ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE ALL SET FOR OUR
ALL-DAY SNACK BREAK.

IT'S GONNA BE GOOD
TO GET AWAY.

WE'VE BOTH BEEN
SO BUSY LATELY.

- MMM.
- FOOTBALL, YOUR ARTICLE.

YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T WE
TAKE IT ONE STEP FURTHER?

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE DON'T
TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL OR
MY N.I.L. ARTICLE TODAY?

MY BAD.
WHAT IS FOOTBALL?

LET'S GO.

WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA.

LET ME GET THAT
FOR YOU.

OH. SO CHIVALROUS.

- [KISS]
- WELL, I HOPE YOU

PACKED MORE
WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
SPENCER: HEH HEH!

OFTEN RUNS INSIDE BLITZ.
INSIDE, INSIDE.

OOH, "A PROTOTYPICAL
LINEBACKER"? NICE.
THAT BETTER BE ABOUT ME.

- HEY, I'M WORKING, J.J.
- HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO GET AN EDGE

OVER THE G.A.U. GUYS IF YOU
DON'T EVEN LET ME PEEP

THE SCOUTING REPORT?
ASHER: HEY, HEY, HEY.

NO ONE IS PEEPING
ANYTHING UNTIL
IT'S FINISHED,

IF IT'S EVER FINISHED.
[SIGHS]

HEY, YOU THINK
G.A.U.'s DOING
SCOUTING REPORTS ON US?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
MINE WOULD SAY?

J.J., ENOUGH.
THIS IS NOT
A JOKE, DUDE.

I HAVE ONE SHOT
TO NAIL THIS REPORT
AND PROVE TO MONTES

THAT I HAVE
WHAT IT TAKES TO BE
AN ASSISTANT COACH,

AND HE'S
ALREADY SKEPTICAL
ON WHETHER OR NOT

I CAN DELIVER THIS, SO JUST--
J.J.: DID HE SAY THAT?

[SIGHS]
NO...

NOT IN SO MANY
WORDS, BUT...

I JUST DON'T WANT
TO MESS THIS UP,

AND I HAVE NO IDEA
IF WHAT I HAVE
IS--IS ANY GOOD.

OK, SO GET SOMEONE
TO GIVE IT A ONCE-OVER

BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN.

SOMEONE LIKE...ME.

[CHUCKLES]
NO SHADE, J.J., BUT YOU

AND MONTES DON'T EXACTLY
THINK THE SAME WAY.

[SIGHS]

BUT...YOU'RE
DEFINITELY ON
TO SOMETHING.

THANKS, MAN.
J.J.: YEAH.

YEAH.

PATIENCE: HEY.
SKYE: HEY, GIRL. IS COOP HERE?

PATIENCE: UH--
COOP: WHEW! RIGHT ON TIME.

SKYE: I'M, LIKE,
A HALF-HOUR LATE.
COOP: REALLY?

YEAH.
YOU JUST TEXTED,
"WHERE ARE YOU?"

COOP: OH. OH. OK.

WHATEVER. WORTH THE WAIT.
YEAH, YOU LOOK GOOD.
YOU READY?

SKYE: YEAH, LET'S DO IT.
PATIENCE: HMM. Y'ALL TWO
GOING ON A DATE?

SKYE:
YEAH. COOP CALLED
OUT OF THE BLUE.

GUESS SHE FINALLY
CAME TO HER SENSES.

LOOK, IT--IT WASN'T
OUT THE BLUE, OK?

BUT WHATEVER.
LET'S GO GET SOME FOOD
'CAUSE I AIN'T GONNA LIE.

THAT HALF-HOUR WAIT
GOT ME EXTRA-HUNGRY.

[CHUCKLES]

OK, WELL,
Y'ALL HAVE FUN.

[DOOR CLOSES]

OLIVIA: OK.
SPENCER: MAN, I AM STARVING.
WHAT YOU GOT IN THERE, GIRL?

MMM. IT'S KIND
OF A SURPRISE.

OH. OK.

OOH.

DOPE. DOPE.

WAIT. I THOUGHT...
THESE WERE
YOUR FAVORITES.

NO, NO, I LOVE 'EM.
IT'S JUST

THE TEAM NUTRITIONIST
MANDATED WE CUT BACK
ON BREAD AND SUGAR, SO...

- I SHOULD HAVE
ASKED. I'M SORRY.
- NO, IT'S ALL GOOD.

YOU KNOW WHAT? THE HELL
WITH THAT MANDATE.
WATCH THIS.

MMM.
OLIVIA: YEAH? OH. OK.

- MMM. I MISSED
THESE BAD BOYS.
- YEAH, YOU DID.

[PAPER CRINKLES]
OH, HERE.

I WENT
TO SLAUSON CAFEÉ
AND PICKED UP

YOUR USUAL.
OLIVIA: OH! YES.

- HA HA.
- THANK YOU.

OOH.
- WHOA. THERE YOU GO.

- THANK YOU.
- MM-HMM.

AHEM.

SSS.
THIS WHOLE MILK?

THAT'S A...VENTI, NO WHIP
AND EXTRA HONEY, RIGHT?

I KINDA SWITCHED
TO OAT MILK AFTER WE

DID THAT ARTICLE ON
THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.

OH. OK.
UH, I CAN, UM--

UH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
NO. IT'S FINE.
IT'S SO SILLY.

SEE? IT'S GOOD.

AHEM.

SO, UH, YOU AND
THE GIRLS DOING A'IGHT?

- YEAH. WE'RE GOOD.
- COOL.

- YEAH.
- COOL.

ACTUALLY, UM,
PATIENCE AND I,

WE SAW LAST NIGHT'S
FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS.

AND WE ARE
NOT SUPPOSED

TO BE TALKING
ABOUT ARTICLES
OR FOOTBALL TODAY.

- HEH HEH HEH!
- I'M SORRY.

IT'S ALL GOOD.
UM...

GLAD THEY FINALLY GOT
TO RENOVATE THE PARK.
OLIVIA: YEAH.

IT'S A LOT WINDIER
THAN I THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE, THOUGH.

YEAH, I KNOW.
THAT--THAT SUCKS.

YEAH.

YOU GONNA FINISH
THAT COFFEE?

PROBABLY NOT.
WANT IT?

UH, YEAH, YEAH. SURE.

YOU WANT THIS?

SURE.

AHEM.

JORDAN: HEY. WHOA.

GO EASY
ON THE TREES, HUH?

HEH! UH, HOW WAS
YOUR TRIP TO BRINGSTON?

I FEEL LIKE I
HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN YOU
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN BACK.

IT WAS--IT WAS GOOD,
YOU KNOW? TOO SHORT,
AS ALWAYS.

- UH--
- UH, "CARRIE, IT'S
BEEN A LONG TIME."

"CARRIE, I HOPE
THIS GE--"

YOU HAVEN'T GONE
TO SEE CARRIE YET?

I KNOW, OK? I...

EVERY TIME I WANT TO DRIVE
DOWN TO SAN DIEGO,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M
GONNA SAY WHEN I SEE HER,

SO WHEN I PEN
THE PERFECT SPEECH,

I WILL GO.
I PROMISE.

UH, DO YOU KNOW WHAT
THIS IS CALLED?

UH, PREPARATION.

STALLING. STALLING.
IF IT'S NOT

THE PERFECT SPEECH,
IT'LL BE SOME
OTHER EXCUSE.

OK, YOU KNOW WHAT?
GET UP.

- WHAT? WHY?
- BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
TO SAN DIEGO, THAT'S WHY.

- JORDAN--
- LAYLA, WHATEVER YOU WANT

TO SAY TO CARRIE,
YOU CAN PRACTICE
ON ME IN THE CAR.

- NO. JORDAN--
- LAYLA,

IT'S TIME, FOR
YOUR SAKE AND HERS.

[KEYS JINGLE]
I'LL BE IN THE CAR.

GREAT.
[SIGHS]

I JUST THOUGHT
THAT SPENCER WOULD BE

IN MY CORNER, YOU KNOW?
LIKE NOT TELLING REPORTERS

THAT WADE WAS
THE BEST QUARTERBACK
IN THE COUNTRY?

DIDN'T YOU SAY HE WAS
THE BEST WHEN WE WERE
LOCKED IN MY STUDIO?

MY POINT IS, IS THAT
SPENCER DID NOT HAVE
TO RUB IT IN MY FACE.

JORDAN, IT'S BEEN, LIKE,
TWO HOURS OF THIS, OK?

INCLUDING YOU TALKING
THROUGH MY FAVORITE
PODCAST ON SPOTIFY,

AND NOW I HAVE TO LISTEN
TO THE EPISODE AGAIN.

ALSO, I'M STARTING TO
THINK THAT YOU KIDNAPPING
ME TO SAN DIEGO IS

MORE ABOUT YOU RUNNING
AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS

AND LESS ABOUT HELPING
WITH MINE.

KIDNAPPING? WHAT?
NO. LAYLA, THIS IS--
THIS IS 100% ABOUT YOU.

OK, M-MAYBE 80/20,
BUT THE 80 IS YOU.

- OK.
- I PROMISE, OK?

HOW'S THE SPEECH COMING?
LAYLA: HORRIBLY.

OK, WELL, IF IT MAKES
YOU FEEL ANY BETTER,
I'M SURE THAT CARRIE IS

FREAKING OUT ABOUT WHAT
TO SAY TO YOU AS WELL.

WELL, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT
SINCE SHE DOESN'T...

KNOW THAT I'M COMING,
SO...

OK, LAYLA, UM,
I'M NO EXPERT,

BUT, UM, MAYBE IT'S
NOT THE BEST IDEA

TO SURPRISE THE GIRL
WHO HISTORICALLY HAS NOT
BEEN THE MOST STABLE.

OK, YEAH, I'M--
I'M GONNA TEXT HER.

- GOOD IDEA.
- UM--[SIGHS]--

I'M GONNA SAY
I'M IN TOWN...
[TEXTING]

AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE
TO TALK IN PERSON.

THAT'S GOOD. THERE.

- BOOM.
- I DID IT.

PROBABLY NOT GONNA
RESPOND--OH, MY GOD.

WAIT. THE DOTS.
THE DOTS...

AND THEY'RE GONE.
JORDAN: WHOA.

LOOK AT THIS.

CHECK IT OUT!

THEY'RE HAVING
AN OUTDOOR SCREENING
OF "17 AGAIN."

- HUH.
- DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN ME,

YOU, AND LIV WATCHED
THIS AT THE HOUSE?

YEAH, YEAH,
I REMEMBER YOU CRYING

TO YOUR MOM.
JORDAN: I ONLY CRIED TO MY MOM

BECAUSE YOU KICKED ME OUT
OF THE FORT THAT I BUILT US.

[CELLPHONE CHIMES AND VIBRATES]
LAYLA: OH.

OK, UM, SHE SAID SHE
CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HERE,

AND SHE CAN'T WAIT TO
SEE ME, BUT SHE'S STUCK

AT WORK FOR
THE NEXT 2 1/2 HOURS.

2 1/2 HOURS.
DAMN. OK.

OK. ALL RIGHT.
[TEXTING]

WHAT DID YOU--WHAT DID
YOU SAY BACK TO HER?

I SAID I'LL WAIT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S--
IT'S TODAY OR NEVER.

- TODAY IT IS.
- MM-HMM.

[SIGHS]

OLIVIA: OH. OH, SORRY.
SPENCER: HEH! MY BAD.

OK, IT DOESN'T TRIP YOU OUT
THAT WE CAN'T FIND

NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT
OUTSIDE OF FOOTBALL
AND WORK?

I MEAN, I THINK "NOTHING"
IS A LITTLE EXTREME.

I MEAN, BESIDES, LOOK--
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING

NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT,
SO THAT'S SOMETHING.
SPENCER: HEH!

OK, WELL,
THE DAY'S NOT OVER.

WE STILL GOT TIME
TO COURSE-CORRECT,

FIND OUR STRIDE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING LATER?

UM, I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF
HOSTING THIS, LIKE,

LITTLE HAPPY-HOUR THING
FOR SOME OF MY CO-WORKERS

FROM THE "TRIBUNE."
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT
CHRISTEL'S, BUT SHE HAS

THE FLU, SO--
SPENCER: AND YOU FIGURED I'D
CRAMP YOUR STYLE BY INVITING ME?

PLEASE. I JUST DOUBT
THAT YOU WANT TO HANG OUT

WITH MY WORK FRIENDS.
SPENCER: WHY, THEY ALL
DRINK OAT MILK?

NO!

I MEAN, YEAH, MOST
OF THEM, BUT I JUST

DIDN'T THINK IT'D BE
SOMETHING YOU'D BE
INTERESTED IN.

ANYTHING INVOLVING YOU
I'M INTERESTED IN.

OK.

COME, THEN.

- YOU SURE?
- YEAH, I'M SURE.

I MEAN,
WHY WOULDN'T I WANT
MY BOYFRIEND THERE?

[KISS]

BILLY: OK, UH, WELL,

AT LEAST MONTES CAN'T SAY
THAT YOU WEREN'T THOROUGH.

TOO LONG?

UH, A LITTLE BIT,

BUT, WELL, YEAH,
THIS IS D1,

SO ANYBODY CAN LOOK
AT FILM AND SEE

THAT THESE PLAYERS
ARE BIGGER, FASTER,
AND STRONGER.

[SIGHS]
ASHER: SO IT'S TOO
LONG AND IT SUCKS.

NO, IT DOESN'T SUCK.
UM, YOU GOT TO DIG DEEPER

THAN THESE PLAYERS'
PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES.

FOR EXAMPLE, UM, IF YOU
KNOW A PLAYER IS SUFFERING

FROM A RECENT INJURY,
THEN YOU GOT TO HIGHLIGHT

THE FACT THAT THEY COULD
POSSIBLY BE A WEAK LINK.

UH, IF SOMEBODY
JUST BROKE UP WITH
THEIR GIRLFRIEND,

YOU NEED TO HIGHLIGHT
THE FACT THAT THEY'RE,

YOU KNOW, CYBERSTALKING
THEIR GIRL ONLINE

WHEN THEY SHOULD BE
PAYING MORE ATTENTION
ON THE FIELD.

- IT'S REALLY KICKING A MAN
WHILE HE'S DOWN, THOUGH.
- LOOK, IF YOU WANT

YOUR REPORT TO ADD VALUE,
THEN YOU'RE GONNA

HAVE TO FIND
THESE PLAYERS' SORE SPOTS.

THAT'S WHAT COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGES ARE BUILT ON.

COME ON, COACH.

JORDAN AND SPENCER ARE
MY FRIENDS, MY ROOMMATES.

I HAVE INSIDER KNOWLEDGE,
AND I KNOW THAT'S WHY MONTES
GAVE ME THIS ASSIGNMENT.

I--I MEAN, IS IT MESSED UP
TO USE THAT TO BREAK THEM
DOWN IN A REPORT?

DO I THINK YOU SHOULD
BETRAY YOUR FRIENDSHIPS?
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT,

BUT THERE IS
A FINE LINE,

AND YOU GOT TO FIND IT
BECAUSE OUR JOB

AS COACHES,
WE NEED TO FIND

EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION
THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO US

AND USE IT TO WIN.
IT'S JUST ABOUT WINNING.

SO YOU HAVE TO
ASK YOURSELF

IF YOU WANT
TO COACH OR NOT

BECAUSE
FROM HERE ON OUT,

IT'S ONLY GONNA
GET HARDER.

WOMAN: GO.
LET'S GO, LET'S GO.

MAN: HE'S OPEN,
HE'S OPEN, HE'S OPEN.

OH, JULIE HAS IT.
WOMAN: LET'S GET IT!

JORDAN: LAYLA, UM,
ARE WE REALLY GONNA SIT
HERE FOR ANOTHER HOUR?

[JORDAN WHISPERS]
Oh, my God.

YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.

I DON'T THINK
YOUR PROBLEM IS
SPENCER OR WADE.

- [SIGHS]
- I THINK IT'S YOU. I THINK
YOU'RE PSYCHING YOURSELF OUT.

- WHAT? NO, NO, NO, NO.
- MM-HMM.

THE PROBLEM IS
I'M STUCK DROWNING
ON THE DEPTH CHART

AND NO ONE WANTS TO SAVE ME.
LAYLA: THEN SAVE YOURSELF.

- I--
- NO, THAT'S WHAT
I'M SAYING, JORDAN.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE
IT HAPPEN.

OK. COME ON.

JORDAN: WAIT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I NEED TO STOP THINKING
ABOUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

WHEN CARRIE GETS HERE,
AND YOU NEED TO FORGET

ABOUT WADE AND SPENCER
AND JUST PLAY
SOME FOOTBALL.

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY
COULDN'T USE YOUR HELP.

[SCOFFS]
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

OH, OK.

IS JORDAN BAKER
AFRAID HE CAN'T, UM,

CAN'T KEEP UP WITH
THE YMCA ALL-STARS?

HEH! OK.
YOU KNOW WHAT, KEATING?

GAME ON.
FIRE UP THOSE HANDS.

- ARE YOU SURE? NOT SCARED?
- COME ON. WARM UP THOSE HANDS.
LET'S GO.

OK, SQUAD, ALL RIGHT.
I WANT YOU TO GIVE ME
A SKINNY POST.

YOU GIVE ME THE BACK
LEFT PYLON.

YOU GIVE ME A DRAG
ACROSS THE MIDDLE.

LAYLA, CHOP UP THOSE FEET,
HIT THAT BACK RIGHT PYLON, OK?

ON 1, ON 1. READY? HERE WE GO.
HERE WE GO. HERE WE GO.

DOWN, SET! RIGHT 60.

NOAH: AND SHE CAN'T WRITE.

ANDREW: AND SHE IS BROODY
AS HELL--I'LL ADMIT IT--

BUT, HEY, IT MADE FOR
AN INTERESTING TWO YEARS.

OLIVIA: TWO YEARS?
NOAH: DUDE, YOU HAVE TO TELL HER

HOW IT STARTED AND HOW THE
"WESTSIDE STAR" ENDED UP

WITH YOUR ARTICLE
ON ENVIRONMENTAL DROUGHTS.

- OH.
- I'M USING THE BATHROOM.

OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
UM, I WANT TO HEAR

ABOUT THAT.

NO, LET'S GO WITH IT.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

NOAH: I'LL TELL YOU.

NOT ON A DATE,

BUT I'M MAKING
AN EXCEPTION FOR YOU.

HMM. WHAT MAKES ME
SO SPECIAL?

SKYE: WELL,
HOW MUCH TIME YOU GOT?
MAN: NEXT!

COOP. WHAT'S GOOD?

COOP: WHAT'S UP, MAN?
MAN: THAT IS A BIG DOG
WITH THE WORKS FOR YOU

AND A HASH PUPPY DOG
FOR PATIENCE.

NAH, MAN.
HER NAME IS SKYE.

[MOUTHS "SORRY"]

I AM SORRY.
THAT WAS...UNNECESSARY.

ALL GOOD. [SIGHS]
SKYE 101--

YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO
GUESS WHAT I'M THINKING.

IF I'M PISSED,
TRUST ME, YOU'LL KNOW.

OK, GOOD. I JUST--
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
WANT YOU TO

THINK THAT I'M OUT HERE
JUGGLING GIRLS BECAUSE
I'M NOT, ALL RIGHT?

PATIENCE AND I ARE DONE.
I MEAN, DONE-DONE.

I'M TALKING MARIAH CAREY
"I DON'T KNOW HER" DONE.

YEAH, I GET IT.
YOU GUYS ARE DONE.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT
PROBABLY LOOKS WEIRD
BECAUSE WE STILL LIVE

TOGETHER, BUT THAT'S
JUST A ROOMMATE
SITUATION; I MEAN, SHE

MOVED TO THE OTHER ROOM
UPSTAIRS REAL FAST,

BUT IT'S ALL GOOD
'CAUSE NOW WE GOT
OUR OWN SPACE,

AND SHE CAN FILL HERS
WITH ALL THE FLOWERS

SHE WANTS FROM SABINE
AND WHOEVER ELSE IS

SENDING 'EM. I MEAN,
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
THE TULIPS THAT CAME

TO THE CRIB LAST NIGHT.
I WAS--WAIT. WHAT--

WHERE YOU GOING?
YOU NEED SOMETHING?

- YEAH, SOME AIR.
- BUT WE OUTSIDE.

YOU KNOW, I WAS COOL
WITH HAVING HOT DOGS
ON A DATE,

AND I WAS COOL WITH OLD BOY
IN THE TRUCK CALLING ME
BY ANOTHER CHICK'S NAME,

BUT SOMETHING I'LL
NEVER BE OK WITH IS YOU

SPENDING THE ENTIRE DATE
TALKING ABOUT HER, AND I'M

NOT EVEN GONNA GET
INTO THE FACT THAT YOUR
"OUT OF THE BLUE" CALL

LAST NIGHT WAS
'CAUSE PATIENCE GOT
SOME DAMN TULIPS.

OK, UH,
SKYE, I'M SORRY.

NEXT TIME YOU WANT
TO PISS OFF YOUR EX,

DON'T CALL ME.

[SIGHS]

[DISTANT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

HEY, THERE YOU ARE.
IS EVERYTHING OK?

- JUST TAKING A BREATHER.
- OK.

WELL, UM, I REALLY WANT
TO INTRODUCE YOU TO ONE

OF MY CO-WORKERS WHO IS
A HUGE G.A.U. FAN--

SPENCER,
IS EVERYTHING OK?

JAZZ?

- YEAH, I LIKE JAZZ. SO WHAT?
- SINCE WHEN?

[CHUCKLING]
SINCE CHRISTEL PLAYS IT
NONSTOP IN THE OFFICE,

AND IT WAS EITHER LOVE IT
OR BE TORTURED EVERY DAY,
SO I CHOSE LOVE.

OK, AND, UH,
WHAT ABOUT NOAH?

I THOUGHT Y'ALL TWO
WERE BEEFING SINCE HE
STOLE YOUR ARTICLE.

I MEAN, THAT WAS--
THAT WAS WEEKS AGO,

AND HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN
REALLY SUPPORTIVE SINCE.

SEE? I AIN'T KNOW
THAT, JUST LIKE

I DON'T KNOW YOUR
COFFEE ORDER NO MORE.

BABE, ALL OF THIS
OVER THELONIOUS MONK,

SOME ANCIENT BEEF,
AND OAT MILK?

I MEAN, IT'S JUST TRIVIA.
SPENCER: NOT TO ME.

THE SPECIAL THINGS WE
KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER
IS WHAT MAKES US US,

AND YOUR CO-WORKERS
KNOW YOU BETTER
THAN I DO NOW.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S JUST
BECAUSE THEY SPEND
MORE TIME WITH ME.

THEY DON'T KNOW ME
LIKE YOU DO.
THAT'S CRAZY.

IS IT? LOOK,
THIS ISN'T JUST

ABOUT THEM, LIV.
YOU DIDN'T FEEL
THAT TODAY?

- FEEL WHAT?
- THAT SOMETHING'S OFF,

THAT WE'RE OFF,
LIKE...

"STARTING TO
GROW APART" OFF?

UM...

I MEAN--I MEAN,
YEAH, A LITTLE,

BUT I...

HEH!

I SHOULD GO.

YOU GOT GUESTS
DOWNSTAIRS,

AND--AND NOW
AIN'T THE TIME.

[KISS]

I'MMA HOLLA
AT YOU LATER.

[FOOTSTEPS RETREAT]

[SIGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

HEY, DUDE,
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU SERIOUS
RIGHT NOW?

"THOUGH HE'S FAST WITH
EXCELLENT FOOTBALL I.Q.,

SPENCER JAMES LACKS CONFIDENCE"?
[ASHER SIGHS]

YOU'RE READING
MY SCOUTING REPORT?

"HE FEARS HIS ELEVATION
TO G.A.U.'s OFFENSE
MIGHT BE A FLUKE.

"HE'S UNSURE HE'S
CAPABLE OF DELIVERING
A WINNING PERFORMANCE

GAME AFTER GAME,
MAKING SPENCER EASY
TO DEMORALIZE"?

WHY'D YOU GO
THROUGH MY LAPTOP?

IT'S AN INVASION OF PRIVACY.
SPENCER: YOU LEFT IT OPEN
IN A PUBLIC PLACE.

- I'M IN MY HOUSE.
- OUR HOUSE, AND YOU REALLY
GONNA COME AT ME ABOUT PRIVACY?

THOSE WERE MY WORDS THAT
I CONFIDED TO MY FRIENDS,

NOT SOME SNITCH.
ASHER: SNITCH?

I'M NOT SNITCHING,
SPENCE, I'M SCOUTING.

THAT'S THE JOB.
LIKE IT OR NOT, WE'RE
ON RIVAL TEAMS NOW.

Y-YOU REALLY EXPECT ME
TO BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT
PLANNING ON USING ANY OF

THE HISTORY YOU HAVE ON
J.J. TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
WHEN YOU PLAY US?

ABOUT HIM ON THE FIELD?
ABSOLUTELY, BUT THE STUFF HE'S
CONFIDED TO ME AS HIS FRIEND?

YOU SAY NO, YOU ARE
LYING TO YOURSELF
AS WELL AS ME, MAN!

THIS IS D1 FOOTBALL.
WE ARE BOTH
TRYING TO WIN.

I WANT A CAREER
AS A COACH; THAT MEANS
BREAKING DOWN PLAYERS

IS A PART OF THE JOB.
THAT'S WHAT COACH BAKER
TOLD ME--

HOLD UP, HOLD UP,
HOLD UP.

YOU EXPECT ME
TO BELIEVE COACH BAKER
PUT YOU UP TO THIS?

HE SAID DIG
A LITTLE DEEPER
INTO YOUR PSYCHE

IF I WANT A BETTER
REPORT, YEAH.

AFTER EVERYTHING
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH,

YOU REALLY GONNA HAND IN
THAT SCOUTING REPORT
TO YOUR COACH, MAN,

WITH ALL
THAT PERSONAL STUFF I
TOLD YOU AS A FRIEND?

I ALREADY DID.

I MEAN,
I--I NEED TO JOIN

AN L.A. REC LEAGUE
AFTER THOSE STATS
I JUST PUT UP.

OK, EASY THERE,
ODELL, OK?

HA HA!
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT WAS NICE
TO SEE YOU OUT THERE,
RELAXED AND LAUGHING.

YEAH, WELL, UM,
I MEAN, THAT GAME WAS

A GREAT DISTRACTION
FROM ALL THINGS CARRIE.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL.
JORDAN: MMM. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU GOT TO FEEL
REJUVENATED.

I MEAN, YOU HAD
SOME HELP FROM
YOUR BEST RECEIVER--

ME, OF COURSE--
BUT, I DON'T KNOW.

NO ONE EVEN CAME CLOSE
TO TOUCHING YOU
ON THAT FIELD.

LAYLA, THAT WASN'T
A CHALLENGE.

I'M A D1 COLLEGE QUARTERBACK.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BEAT THOSE GUYS.

LAYLA: NO, JORDAN, I--
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES]

SORRY.

[SIGHS]
OK.

CARRIE JUST PARKED,
SO SH-SHE'S HERE.

UM...

OK, THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.
JORDAN: HEY, HEY.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

OK? I'LL BE RIGHT HERE
IF YOU NEED ME.

OK.

OK.

OK.

[DOOR CLOSES]
HELLO?

HEY, BABY GIRL.

WHAT'S HAPPENIN'?

UH, DAD...

YOU KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE
YOU CAN CALL TO FIX
THAT OLD THING, YEAH?

NOTHING A LITTLE
DUCT TAPE CAN'T FIX.

DO YOU WANT SOME HELP
WITH ANYTHING?

[CHUCKLES]
UH-OH.

SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
SIT DOWN.

WHAT'S UP?

BEFORE YOU GUYS
GOT MARRIED,

HOW DID YOU AND MOM
MAKE IT WORK WHEN YOU

HAD TO BE SUPER-FOCUSED
ON FOOTBALL AND HER ON LAW?

THE OLD
BALANCING ACT, HUH?

WELL, I STILL DON'T KNOW
IF WE EVER MADE IT WORK,

BUT I CAN SAY THAT
WE, UH, WE NEVER
STOPPED TRYING.

AND DID YOU GUYS EVER...

DRIFT APART?

OH, PLENTY OF TIMES,
BUT ONLY WHEN WE

TOOK OUR EYES
OFF THE PRIZE, HMM?

BUT THEN WE'D
REALIZE AND THEN
COURSE-CORRECT,

ONLY BECAUSE WE--
WE BOTH WANTED
TO MAKE IT WORK.

WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH YOU AND SPENCE?

UM...

I MEAN, WE'VE BOTH
JUST BEEN BUSIER

THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN,
AND IT'S JUST,
LIKE, CAUSING

THIS WEIRD DISCONNECT
BETWEEN US THAT WE
JUST CAN'T SHAKE.

WHAT IF WE CAN'T
COURSE-CORRECT, DAD?

LOOK,
EVERY RELATIONSHIP'S
GONNA HAVE THEIR UPS

AND DOWNS, BUT YOU
HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
IF YOU'RE WILLING

TO WEATHER THE EBBS
AND THE FLOWS.

AND IF YOU ARE...
THEN YOU--YOU
NEVER STOP TRYING.

SO, HOW WAS
THE DRIVE?

UH, IT WAS GOOD.
YEAH, UM,

IT'S NOT
TOO MUCH TRAFFIC,

AND, UH, THE WEATHER HELPED.
CARRIE: GOOD.

LAYLA,
YOU DIDN'T COME

TO SAN DIEGO TO ASK ME
ABOUT THE WEATHER.

YEAH, UM...

I DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.

SURE YOU DO.

LAYLA, WHAT I DID
TO YOU WAS UNFORGIVABLE.

AND YES, I WAS SICK
AND I WASN'T IN CONTROL,

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT YOU DON'T GET
TO BE FURIOUS AT ME.

YOU SHOULD BE.
IF YOU WANT TO SCREAM

OR YELL OR HIT ME OR
WHATEVER, YOU CAN.

I'M NOT GONNA
FIGHT YOU, CARRIE.

IF I WAS, I WOULDN'T
NEED YOUR PERMISSION
TO DO SO.

I WAS MAD AT YOU FOR
A REALLY LONG TIME.

[SNIFFLES]
AND ON MY WAY DOWN HERE,
I REALIZED I'M NOT...

I'M NOT ANGRY
ANYMORE, YOU KNOW?
I'M JUST EXHAUSTED.

A LONG TIME AGO, I
ACCEPTED THAT I WASN'T

ENOUGH TO KEEP
MY MOM ALIVE OR...

MY DAD IN TOWN
OR MY BOYFRIEND
FAITHFUL, BUT...

[SNIFFLES]
YOU KNOW, WITH YOU,
I REALLY--I REALLY

THOUGHT I WAS MAKING
A DIFFERENCE.

I TRIED SO HARD
TO BE THERE FOR YOU--

INTRODUCING YOU TO
MY FRIENDS AND MOVING
YOU IN WITH ME, AND--

[SNIFFLES]
GOD, AFTER ALL THAT,

IT, LIKE, STILL
WASN'T ENOUGH;

NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU
OFF THAT CLIFF

OR TO KEEP YOU
FROM TRYING TO
TAKE ME WITH YOU.

- LAYLA--
- IT'S JUST THE STORY OF
MY LIFE, REALLY, 'CAUSE...

KEEP TRYING
TO FIX EVERYTHING
AND--SURPRISE--

I JUST FALL UP SHORT
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND--

LAYLA, YOUR FRIENDSHIP
IS WHAT KEPT ME

OFF THAT CLIFF LONGER.

BEING UP THERE WAS
ABOUT ALL THE WAYS THAT I

WAS DEFICIENT...
NOT YOU.

YOU ARE THE REASON
THAT I HAVE MADE

SO MUCH PROGRESS

AND HAVE MY FAMILY
BACK, AND HAVE A JOB.

I MEAN, YOU
GOT ME TO TRY AGAIN
AT RUNNING SPRINGS.

YOU'RE THE REASON
I'M STILL HERE.

I MEAN, IF THAT ISN'T
BEING ENOUGH, THEN...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

AND I BET,
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY,

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
IN YOUR LIFE THAT FEEL
THIS WAY.

[SNIFFLES]

[DOOR CLOSES,
PATIENCE SIGHS]

WOULDN'T KILL LIV'S FRIENDS
TO ACTUALLY CLEAN UP.

[SIGHS]

YOU'RE KIDDING ME,
RIGHT?

- I DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING.
- SO IT WASN'T, LIKE, ENOUGH

FOR YOU TO INVITE SKYE
TO RUB HER IN MY FACE,

BUT YOU GONNA
TAKE HER TO OUR SPOT?

YOU THE ONE THAT GOT
CHLORINE SENDING

THE ENTIRE RAINFOREST
OVER TO OUR CRIB.

OK, HER NAME
IS SABINE,

AND THOSE FLOWERS
ARE PLATONIC.

MAN, THOSE FLOWERS
ARE RED!

THEY ARE NOT PLATONIC!

OOH, YOU ABOUT
TO FEEL SO STUPID.

MAN, WHATEVER.
AT LEAST MY NAME DON'T
SOUND LIKE SOMETHING

THEY DUMP IN POOL WATER.
PATIENCE: MMM, OK.

YEAH, UH, "CONGRATS ON
AN AMAZING ALBUM LAUNCH.
YOUR FRIEND, SABINE."

HMM.

SABINE DOES HAVE
NICE HANDWRITING.

- NOW YOU KNOW HER NAME, HUH?
- LOOK, I'M SORRY,

OK? I JUST THOUGHT--
PATIENCE: YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW

WHAT YOU THOUGHT,
AND...

[SCOFFS]

OUR RELATIONSHIP?

IT MEANT A LOT
TO ME, COOP.

THE WAY THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO...
HURT EACH OTHER,

WE'RE NOT ABOUT TO HAVE
A FRIENDSHIP LEFT,

AND I DON'T WANT THAT.
COOP: I DON'T WANT THAT, EITHER.

OK, SO...
WHAT DO WE DO?

I MEAN...

[SIGHS]

- WE SHOULD AGREE
ON SOME GROUND RULES.
- I'M DOWN WITH THAT.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL,

BAKER HOUSE HAS
TO BE SWITZERLAND--

NEUTRAL GROUND,
NO MORE DATES
IN THE HALLWAY.

OK, FINE, AND NO MORE
FLOWERS FROM GIRLS YOU
TRIED TO GET WITH, EITHER.

OK, DEAL, AND ALSO,
WE HAVE TO DECIDE

ON WHERE IN L.A. IS
OFF-LIMITS BECAUSE

I DON'T WANT YOU
TAKING GIRLS
TO OUR SPOTS.

OK, BUT I
CAN GO TO D-DOGGS
BY MYSELF, RIGHT?

YES, YES, OF COURSE.
WELL, LET'S HAVE COFFEE.

OK, WELL, BEFORE YOU
START PLANTING YOUR FLAG

IN ALL THE L.A. CAFEÉS,
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

- OOH.
- I'M SO USED TO GETTING
YOU FUNNEL CAKES BECAUSE

I KNOW THAT YOU LIKE 'EM
THAT I GOT IT ANYWAY, EVEN
THOUGH YOU WASN'T THERE.

OK.

OOH, YES!

OK.

WELL, LET'S EAT...
AND NEGOTIATE.

MMM.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

HEY, MAN.
SHOOT, THIS HOUSE IS
GETTING MORE ACTION

THAN WHEN I WAS
IN HIGH SCHOOL.
[SIGHS]

SPENCER: WHY?
[DOOR CLOSES]

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
BILLY: OH, DON'T ASK.

[CHUCKLES]
WHAT CAN I HELP YOU
WITH, MR. JAMES?

DID YOU TELL
ASHER TO DOG ME IN
HIS SCOUTING REPORT?

NO, NO.

I DID TELL HIM THAT
HE SHOULD DO HIS JOB.

GREAT.

THANKS TO YOUR ADVICE,

MY RIVALS NOW THINK
I LACK CONFIDENCE

AND THAT I'M EASY
TO DEMORALIZE.

YEAH.
[INHALES DEEPLY]

LOOK, SPENCE,
TELL ME COACH GARRETT
BLOWING HOT AND COLD

AT YOU THIS WHOLE
SEASON DIDN'T MESS
WITH YOUR CONFIDENCE.

AND SO IT WAS COOL
FOR ASH TO EXPLOIT THAT?

THAT'S SCREWED UP, COACH.
BILLY: LOOK, SPENCE,

YOU ARE GOOD
AT BATTLING LINEMEN,

BREAKING TACKLES,
BUT THIS IS REAL LIFE.

IT'S COMPLICATED.
YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN
HOW TO BALANCE

FRIENDSHIPS
AND--AND RELATIONSHIPS

THAT--THAT DON'T QUITE
LOOK OR SEEM THE WAY

YOU THOUGHT THEY
ONCE DID, YOU KNOW?

WELCOME TO ADULTHOOD
AND BEING ON TOP.

OK.

SO I GUESS I NEED
TO BE WATCHING MY BACK
FROM NOW ON, HUH?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

THESE JOURNALISTS,

THEY'RE GONNA TEAR YOU
DOWN QUICKER THAN
THEY BUILT YOU UP.

EVERYTHING YOU DO
IS GONNA BE UNDER
A MICROSCOPE,

SO ASHER'S REPORT
IS JUST A TASTE OF--
OF YOUR NEW REALITY.

A REALITY WITHOUT
ANY FRIENDS?

NO, NO, ASH--ASH IS
STILL YOUR FRIEND.

HE'S GOT A JOB TO DO,
YOU'VE GOT A JOB TO DO.

YOU'RE BOTH GOOD.

YOU JUST HAVE TO
NAVIGATE THE SCRUTINY

THEN THAT'S AT YOUR
LEVEL OF GREATNESS.

THERE'S THAT WORD
AGAIN--"GREATNESS."

YEP.

GET USED TO IT, SON.

LISTEN, MAN,
ABOUT THE REPORT--

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
READ IT. I MEAN,

I AIN'T THINK IT WAS
A SECRET OR NOTHING.

KINDA ASSUMED IT'D
BE POSITIVE, BUT...

IT WASN'T MINE
TO READ, SO MY BAD.

NO, NO, NO.
SPENCE, MOST OF THAT
REPORT WAS POSITIVE--

NO EXPLANATION
NEEDED, BRUH.

I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU
DID WHAT YOU DID NOW.

OK.

COOL. OK.

THE LAST THING THAT
I WANT IS FOR THIS
TO AFFECT

OUR FRIENDSHIP, YOU KNOW?
SPENCER: NO, I SAID
I UNDERSTAND.

I AIN'T SAY NOTHING
ABOUT OUR FRIENDSHIP
NOT BEING AFFECTED.

IT'S LIKE THAT?

YOU ALL FOR TRUTH
AND HONESTY, RIGHT?

I MEAN, YOU SAID
IT YOURSELF, ASH:
OUR TEAMS ARE RIVALS.

OUR DREAMS AND OUR
CAREERS ARE WRAPPED UP
IN THOSE TEAMS.

THAT MAKES US RIVALS.

THAT'S WHY YOU DID
WHAT YOU DID.

ALL FOUR OF US, MAN--

ME, YOU, JORDAN,
AND J.J.--

WE'VE BEEN BURYING
OUR HEADS IN THE SAND
THESE LAST FEW MONTHS,

ACTING LIKE THE G.A.U.
AND COASTAL RIVALRY
DOESN'T AFFECT US.

BUT WITH THIS
HOMECOMING GAME COMING UP,

WE CAN'T LIE
TO OURSELVES NO MORE.

WE ALL GOT JOBS TO DO.

MINE IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT NOTHING

AND NO ONE GETS
IN THE WAY OF ME
DOMINATING ON THAT FIELD.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO SAY, SPENCER?

FOUR OF US CAN'T BE
FRIENDS ANYMORE?

UNTIL AFTER
THE HOMECOMING GAME,
THERE'S GONNA NEED TO BE

A SEPARATION OF CHURCH
AND STATE IN THIS HOUSE.

ME AND JORDAN
IN OUR CORNER,

YOU AND J.J. IN YOURS

'CAUSE I'LL BE DAMNED

IF I LET A RIVAL USE
ANYTHING I SAY OR DO

IN MY HOME
TO GET ONE OVER ON ME.

[FOOTSTEPS RETREAT]

HMM.

[SLOW HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
FEMALE SINGER: ♪ SO GOOD...

THANK YOU FOR MEETING ME.

YEAH, WELL, I'VE GOT
A THING NEARBY
IN 23 MINUTES,

BUT, YOU KNOW,
FIGURED I HAD TIME
FOR AN APOLOGY.

[SIGHS]

LOOK...

I AM SORRY.

I AIN'T NEVER MET
NOBODY LIKE YOU,

AND I KNOW
I ASKED YOU OUT

FOR THE WRONG
REASON, BUT

BEFORE I MESSED UP
COLOSSALLY,

I DON'T KNOW,
OUR VIBE, IT JUST...

IT FELT RIGHT.

KEEP GOING,
ON THE "HOW YOU
MESSED UP" PART.

I MESSED UP SO BAD, I
ALMOST DON'T DESERVE
A SECOND CHANCE.

- ALMOST?
- YEAH.

I MEAN, HOW YOU GONNA
GIVE ME A HARD TIME

IF YOU DON'T GO OUT
WITH ME AGAIN?

THAT'S ALMOST LIKE
LETTING ME OFF TOO EASY.

WHAT IF I DON'T BELIEVE
IN GIVING SECOND CHANCES?

[SIGHS]

LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW WHO

THAT CRAZY, RANTING,

TULIP-OBSESSED GIRL WAS
AT THE FOOD TRUCK.

I'M NOT THAT GIRL.

I PROMISE YOU THAT,
SO TECHNICALLY,

I'M ASKING YOU
FOR A FIRST CHANCE.

[SIGHS]

DO YOU STILL
HAVE 21 MINUTES
AND 51 SECONDS?

I GUESS WE COULD FIT
THAT CHANCE IN NOW.

[DISTANT CHATTER]

- CARRIE WAS RIGHT, YOU KNOW.
- HMM?

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN
MORE THAN ENOUGH.

[CHUCKLES]
WELL, I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING I'M ALWAYS

GONNA STRUGGLE WITH,
BUT...TODAY I
BELIEVED IT.

I WAS STRONG ENOUGH
TO FACE HER AGAIN.

GLAD I DID.

AND IT FEELS GOOD
TO KNOW THAT SHE'S
GONNA BE OK

AND--[INHALES]--
THAT I HELPED
IN SOME WAY.

[CHUCKLING]
"SOME WAY"? LAYLA,

YOU--YOU HELPED HER
IN A BIG WAY.

I OWE A LOT
OF PEOPLE AN APOLOGY

FOR HOW I, YOU KNOW,
ACTED THIS PAST YEAR,

BUT TO YOU...
JORDAN: MM-HMM?

I OWE A THANK YOU.

UH, A THANK YOU?

- YEAH.
- WHY? WHY'S THAT?

UM, YOU KNOW, FOR NOT--
NOT GIVING UP ON ME

WHEN I WAS PUSHING
EVERYONE AWAY.

YOU'RE RESILIENT, JORDAN.
THAT'S HOW I KNOW YOU'RE

GONNA FIND A WAY BACK
OUT ON THAT FIELD.
YOU ALWAYS DO.

JUST FOCUS ON YOUR GAME,

YOU KNOW?
FORGET EVERYONE ELSE.

[BASKETBALL NET SWISHING,
BASKETBALL BOUNCING]
JORDAN: YEAH.

[JAZZ PIANO PLAYING,
DOOR OPENS]

WHAT? HEH HEH!
WHAT IS ALL THIS?

HAVE A SEAT.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

- SPENCER--
- JUST GO WITH IT.

OK.

OLIVIA BAKER.

OLIVIA BAKER.
FAVORITE COLOR?

BLACK.

- FAVORITE FOOD?
- DUH. WHATEVER'S ON YOUR PLATE.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS--
WHAT IS ALL THIS?

I'M STEPPING
MY GAME UP.

LOOK, A LOT
OF RELATIONSHIPS

HAVE BEEN FRACTURING
IN MY LIFE LATELY.

I AIN'T LETTING OURS
BE ONE OF 'EM.

I LOVE YOU.

AND I AM NOT GOING
ANYWHERE, SPENCER,

BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.

I MEAN, WE'RE
BOTH EVOLVING,

AND THAT MEANS MAYBE
A LITTLE MORE WORK
ON BOTH OF OUR PARTS

TO MAKE SURE WE'RE RIDING
THIS GROWTH WAVE TOGETHER.

WHICH IS WHY
I'VE DECIDED TO GET
TO KNOW OLIVIA 2.0.

- MMM.
- OTHERWISE KNOWN AS

O.M.O.

- HMM?
- OAT MILK OLIVIA.

- WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO CHANGE THE NAME.
- [CHUCKLES]

[KISS]
OLIVIA: HA HA HA!

OK. AHEM.
BIGGEST PET PEEVE?

GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD!
