It ain't just the
entrapment, man.

It's the ridiculous questions
about our personal life,

the endless physical
evaluations,

cognitive tests, workout drills.

These teams are
checking everything

but our damn teeth, man.

"Teams are checking everything
but our damn teeth."

I think that comment was

more than likely the reason
you weren't drafted tonight.

I was just talking
shop with my boys

and other prospects
at the combine.

So he's not allowed to
vent about a flawed system?

And for what it's worth,
I stand on what I said.

It ain't my fault those
comments weren't kept in house.

I can't believe you
sat on this all day

and didn't tell me,
bro. What the hell?

I was doing my part
to protect you.

- Protect him how?
- By reminding every team

how great Spencer is... on
the field, in the community.

I wanted them to know that his
opinion, which he's entitled

to have, shouldn't diminish
his value to a franchise.

And they still didn't listen.

So this tape gets leaked,
and now the powers that be

want to punish my son
for speaking his truth?

I hate to say, but
it's looking that way.

The NFL is a business first.

If a player makes a comment
they feel is detrimental

to their shield,
they have a history

of making them go away.

Colin Kaepernick.

That's crazy.

So they have players
in the league who have

assault charges? Oh, yeah.

Robbery, reckless
driving. I mean...

Seems like they get away
with it every damn time.

Not saying it's fair, just
pointing out the truths.

So what about me and my future?

I'm, um... I'm not sure.

I think, for now,
we... we let this

die down, see how it shakes out.

I'll be in touch.

Man... my dream
was right there,

right where I needed it to be,

and now it's gone. Olivia:
You don't know that.

Did you not see the
look on Eric's face

when he left? Grace:
It's all so fresh

right now, son...
for him, for us.

And, look, as someone
who has gotten herself

into some "good" trouble
over the years, I will say

that the bad days never
last, but the truth does.

The truth is why
nobody picked me,

and it's not like I
can go back to college

and play football
my senior year.

I waived my eligibility

the moment I committed
to the draft.

I know the uncertainty
is a lot right now,

but you still have something
that you're in control of.

- What's that?
- Your academics.

I mean, she's right.
You're still on track

to graduate from college
in 3 years, babe.

My psychology degree was
my dream for when I retire.

OK, we're not pushing you to
give up on your NFL dream.

We're just reminding
you of the goal

that's still in front of you.

OK...

when I was at my
absolute lowest...

I'm talking the darkest
spirals of my addiction...

I always found a deeper sense

of control in the
Serenity Prayer.

Would you guys look
at me weird if maybe

we say it together?

God.

Grant me the serenity

to accept the things
that I cannot change...

OK, come on.

- Jordan! No.
- What? Ooh! Ah!

Jordan, again! What're
you doing here?

You know it's bad luck
to see each other the day

of the wedding. Jordan:
Not if we technically

didn't make eye
contact. I don't think

that's how it works,
but fine. Are you OK?

I can't seem to
find my linen shirt.

Um, I looked everywhere.

Asher's even doing
a sweep. Layla: Hmm.

Well, you should wear
those shoes to the wedding,

'cause they will look
nice with any shirt.

The queen has spoken.

Crap, that means you
saw me. You saw me!

No, no, no, uh, just
the shoes, not you.

Right. Well, your
skin is glowing.

Somebody had a
facial this morning

before her pamper
session with the ladies?

Mm.

So, our big day is finally here.

How you feeling
about everything?

Still bummed for Spencer,

but... happy that we're...

officially doing this.

- But?
- No, no but.

Hey, baby girl, I don't
need to see your face

to know there's
definitely a but.

You're... you're amazing,

and our friends are amazing,

and this day is
going to be amazing.

It just...

feels a little incomplete
without my mom and...

your dad there.

Just because they're
not here physically

doesn't mean that
they're not here with us.

I know.

I just wish I could
feel that, and...

right now, I can't.

♪ I'm sunny, I'm sunny ♪

Hey, you. Hey, baby.

You leaving already?

Yeah, I got some errands to run,
plus Layla's pampering sesh.

- Hmm.
- And I didn't want to wake you.

You feeling better?
Spencer: A little.

Thank you again for last night.

Of course. Don't you have

some maid of honour stuff to
do? Don't you have a shirt

to find? Jordan: Nice,
nice, nothing like

a quick strike to the
beans from your twin, huh?

Stressing about a shirt is
not how I wanted to spend

my time at our pre-wedding dude
kickback this morning, Spence.

Well, look, I'm sure Asher
will find you one, Jordan.

You know, linen shirts are
like air. They're everywhere.

I didn't want to freak Layla
out, but my shirt is custom.

Specifically tailored to
this shredded temple you see

before you. Don't look
at me like that, please.

What happens if the shirt
Asher gets doesn't fit?

- Custom linen shirt?
- Mm-hmm.

Do those words even go together?

About as well as the
words "supportive sister."

Hey, Spence, how are you?

Doing all right? Spencer:
Better now, better now.

Mm-hmm.

No, but, for real, two
dope queens helped me

realise that I can only control
what's in front of me, so...

- I like that attitude.
- Yeah.

Once I got my
feelings out the way,

I realised that me
not getting drafted

does not mean I can't try
out for one of these teams

a little closer to
training camp, so...

but enough about that.

Today, my only focus is being
there for you and Layla.

- In whatever capacity?
- Yeah, for sure.

Do you mean that?

Is this your way of
asking me to sew you

a custom shirt?
Jordan: No, no.

This is me asking you

to be mine and
Layla's officiant.

You want me to marry y'all?

I do. No pun intended.

Not only are you the
right choice, Spence,

but having a familiar
face up there

would be good for Layla.

She is really
feeling the absence

of her mom today. And, look,

I want to apologise for
dropping this on you

super last-minute, but, Spence,

you are one of
the greatest gifts

that my dad has ever
given our family,

and truthfully, I
wouldn't want to share it

without you up there with us.

But if this isn't
something that you...

I would be honoured.

Honoured, my boy. Jordan: Heh!

Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

Livvie. Hey, honey.

- Hi.
- What you doing?

Well, I hadn't heard
from Layla, and so I was

pulling up her wedding
itinerary to see where she was.

Oh, she's still having
breakfast with her dad,

but as soon as she
lands, Patience is gonna

start her make-up.
Olivia: Perfect.

Jordan said she was really
missing her mom today,

so hopefully her gift
from you will help.

I hope so.

And wait 'til you
see Jordan's gift.

I think it's some
of my best work.

I'm feeling pretty good
about my gift to Layla, too.

Well, Mom, are you
trying to up-gift me?

A little competition never hurt.

Ooh, what's going on

with your book after
Kia helped you out?

Mom, it's been, like, 24 hours.

I mean, these things take time,

kind of like you and
your new friend Luke.

- What about us?
- Mom, you guys

have been like a total
vibe for the past month.

So what gives? Is he gonna be

your plus-one today?

Luke has been fun...

- Mm-hmm.
- But no.

I just don't feel like
it's the right setting

to bring him around.
I mean, sure it is.

Me and Jordan have already
signed off on Luke,

and our village will, too.
It's... it's not that.

I just... I don't
want to take away

from Jordan and
Layla's special day.

OK.

Hey, bro, if you're

looking for Mom's
secret liquorice stash,

she moved it in that
room before I left.

Actually, it's at
my place in Oakland,

along with all the
rest of the snacks

that I no longer have
to share with you two.

♪ Glory be ♪
"Glory be"?

And I thought sharing
snacks was a rite of passage

in the James house.
No, eating up all

your parent's food
is a rite of passage.

Ha ha ha! Well, it's good

to see you taking
the past 24 hours

in stride, Spence.
Hey, man, I'm

just controlling what I can.

Now, if only I
could find my Bible.

Jordan asked me to
be the officiant

at their wedding.
Dillon, Oh, word?

He asked me to be
the photographer.

I even got a shot list set up.

Let's see here...

Uh, those are just
pics of Layla.

No, no, there go Jordan's
head right there.

Think that Jordan'shead. OK!

For the record, typically,
weddings are the bride's thing,

but I'm a pro, so
I'll read the room.

More Jordan

or more Layla. Hey, boy.

Ha ha ha! Now...

back to you, Spencer.

Having a Bible is a nice touch,

but you don't need
it to marry them.

Well, marriage is
a sacred union.

I need something,
right? Yeah, you.

Jordan and Layla chose
you for a reason,

so trust your instincts and
just speak from your heart.

And if you need some
texture, just know

that marriage is a big leap.

Mm-hmm. There's gonna be

some pivots, hard
changes... Mm-hmm.

But if they can ride the wave,

they can manage the bumps.

OK, it's just you and
me, so can you tell me

what you're gonna sing when
Layla walks down the aisle

or am I not allowed to know?

OK.

It's my new single...

if I can pull it off, OK?

It's been two years
since I performed live,

and I still haven't landed
on a song title, so...

Just call it "The
Dean's List."

Wait, Coop. What are
you trying to say?

I'm saying that from here on,

when you address me,
you have to start with

"The Dean's List's
very own"... Coop!

- "Tamia Cooper."
- Are you serious?

Congratulations! Oh! So good!

So good, Coop. Come on, man.

Your girl officially went
from the GAU waitlist

to the Dean's List. Wow.

Come on. I couldn't have
done it without you two.

I am... I'm so
proud of you, baby.

Me, too. Oh, my God.

You got to build
on this momentum.

You need to get an internship

this summer that caters
to your new position

as Spencer's manager if
that's even really a thing.

I have ideas. I
got to go pick up

Layla's present. Come with me.

We can talk in the car.
Coop: Works for me.

- OK.
- Babe, we'll be back.

- Oh! Love you.
- Love you, too.

So good! So good. Heh heh!

Colette!

Hey, girl! How's my favourite
choreographer? What's up?

- I miss you, chica.
- I know. I miss you, too.

So, I don't know
if you heard, but

your girl got a new
gig... "Run, Don't Walk."

- Shut up! The Broadway musical?
- Yes, but hold on.

It gets better. The director's
a big fan of your music.

She wants to cast
you in a small role.

Wait. For real?

Yes! No audition,

and it runs 'til
Christmas, maybe longer.

Damn, that sounds...

that sounds amazing. I
just... I don't know.

I... I still have to finish
my album and, girl, yo,

I haven't performed on
a stage in a minute,

- so I...
- All I'm hearing is excuses.

Look, real talk, I know
what you've been through,

and as your friend, I think
this would be great for you.

Think about it.
Holla back tomorrow?

OK.

OK. Bye.

All right, check out little man.

Took his first steps.
Ha ha ha! That is dope!

Well, there ain't
no turning back now.

You gonna have to
babyproof that whole crib.

Whew! Facts. Are
you serious, Ash?!

Whoa. Talk about babyproofing.

You can't say "I do" in that.

I can see your heart
beat. This is crazy, guys.

This is crazy, OK? I... we
should be smoking cigars

and toasting to my
final hours of freedom.

Instead, I am scrambling
around like a maniac,

looking for my
shirt! That's on me.

My bad, bro, my bad.
Oh, it's your bad?

I'll make sure you
get the right one.

We both will, we both will,

and I promise, once
all this is settled,

we are having
that cigar. Cool.

Cool. I'm gonna get out
of this shirt because

I'm starting to lose
feeling everywhere.

Find my shirt.

Ha ha ha!

Gonna be a good day.

Oh, it's almost game time, man.

You ready to do your
thing, Pastor James?

Oh, yeah. I just got certified

as on officiant
online. Good to go.

What about you?

Best-man speeches can make

or break a
reception. You ready?

I mean, I got
embarrassing stories

for days, stuff
about acne, bifocals.

- Jordan wore bifocals?
- Oh, yeah.

- Yes, yes.
- Heh heh! Oh, yeah.

But, as funny as that is,

speeches still need an anchor.

And judging by that
look, you don't have one.

No, not... not yet.

You got any suggestions?

Maybe anchor it
around the Vortex

and how fast things
are changing.

I mean, you got Liv's
book... y'all two

as parents, J. and
Layla getting married.

You'll be fine,
Ash. You got this.

Um, are you OK?
I feel like you

haven't said anything
since we started.

Girl, now you know, a full beat

requires a certain
level of focus.

OK, but here's the
thing, Patience.

When're you not
talking? Patience: Wow.

Something is clearly
bothering you,

so what's up? Distract me.

There's our girl of the hour!

Which reminds me, we are
an hour behind schedule.

- Ah, so we're right on time.
- That's the blackest thing

you've ever said, Mrs.
Baker, but I'm here for it.

I'm gonna go ahead and
get ready, and then

my make-up is next,
so... And, Layla,

I meant what I said.
"On time" is whenever

you're ready to walk
down that aisle,

and when you do, I just happened

to find you something
that was old, new,

borrowed and blue.

The blue diamonds that
were in your mom's necklace

the day her and your
dad got married.

With JP's blessing,
I had them customised

into those earrings.

I know nothing can
replace Monica,

but I just wanted you
to have something that

will help you feel close
to her on your special day,

something that you can
hold in your heart forever

and, who knows, maybe
one day pass them down

to your own little girl.

Thank you, Mrs.
Baker. This is beyond.

No, sweetie, you are.

And you don't have to call
me Mrs. Baker anymore.

Heh! OK.

Where are the guys?

They are out getting
me a new shirt.

Yeah, I, uh...

I saw the pics. Heard a rumour

you had to cut it
off with scissors?

Ha ha. That's between me

and my dignity,
thank you very much.

- Uh, question.
- Mm-hmm?

How weird do you think
it'll be not having Dad

at the wedding, you know,
not sitting next to Mom?

Not weird at all. You know,

he is with me all the time.

- Yeah.
- Sucks for Mom, though,

'cause she's gonna
be there all alone.

'Cause Luke is
kind of a cool guy.

Bit huggy and the,
uh... And the...

- the scented oils.
- Yeah.

Bit bold, it's a
bold, bold choice.

Um, but, I mean, she
seems to dig him.

She does.

- So why isn't she bringing him?
- Well, 'cause she doesn't want

to impose on your day. I mean,
I think she thinks, like...

I don't know, it'll bother you.

Hmm.

Uh, wait. I'm sorry. You
had this the whole time?

- Oh, um, I did.
- Mm-hmm.

And you had Asher
buy me that shirt...

- For laughs.
- Nice.

- Blackmail.
- Mm.

But mainly...

I needed time to do this.

Liv.

Dad's old number. Yeah.

This patch just
further proves that

Dad is always with you.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Love you. Jordan:
Love you, too.

Asher, Ha ha ha ha!

- Oh, you guys suck!
- Ha ha!

Yes! Well, now we can

finally have that cigar
now. I guess we can.

- What do you think?
- Oh, my God.

Patience, I love
it. Thank you.

- Yeah, of course, girl.
- OK.

Now it's my turn
to help. Layla!

I'm good. I'm good. We
need to... we need to go.

You're already running
late. You heard Mrs. Baker.

The clock doesn't
start 'til I get there,

so stop stalling and get to it.

I got offered to play a role

in a musical on Broadway.

Oh, my God! Wait. This... you
didn't even have to audition?

- Nope.
- This is insane!

Patience, when're you leaving?

I'm not. I have to finish

an album, Layla. We
have to finish an album.

We don't need to be in the
same city to finish it.

And truthfully, pairing
this role with the release

of your album when it's finished
is like marketing nirvana.

It is. But I haven't performed

since that disaster
at your club opening

and, you know, what
if I'm not ready

for that stage?

Totally valid, but

maybe performing at my
wedding will change that.

You know, just family,
a few close friends.

I think it's a perfect space
to find your voice again.

What about Coop?

What about her?

I don't know. This is
the best we've been,

and I can't just ask her
to pick up everything

and move to New York
for the next 8 months.

You know, she just
made the Dean's List,

And plus, she's looking
for a summer internship

and her life is here.

No, Patience.

Her life is with you.

Talk to Coop and just
take it from there.

Look at those two.
Man, they grow up fast.

Feels like just yesterday,
I was bailing them out

of jail on their wedding day.

Now look at 'em...
all happy and free.

- Eating snacks without us.
- Heh heh!

We'll be in the
car. All right, Mom.

We'll be right there.

Ever since you moved to Boston,

Mom's been spending a
lot more time in Oakland.

You think she'll move
up there for good?

They are married, so
I guess that tracks.

You gonna move back here?

It's too early to tell.

I know yesterday didn't
go exactly as planned,

but I ain't giving up on
my NFL dreams just yet.

What about you?

Boston is lit.

I could definitely see
myself staying out there,

and hopefully, after
I graduate college,

Layla and Jordan
will be divorced.

- Really? On their wedding day?
- Heh heh!

Well, I'm just saying,
statistically speaking,

Regardless of what

happens, we got to
hold on to this house,

just like Pops did,
with the cabin?

Maybe one day we'll rent it out.

- Exactly.
- Look, either way,

Crenshaw's always
gonna be our community.

Yeah, and this house will
always be our sanctuary.

Look... you are always

gonna be my favourite
football player...

and brother.

Likewise, baby bro.

Willie! You're here.

Minus a special someone,
who sends her apologies.

Your mom did everything

in her power to make
it out, but that flu

really got the best
of her. Laura: I know.

I've been sending her
pics of the girls all day

so she stays
connected to us. Well,

we should probably get
going. The wedding starts

in 30 minutes,
and this is L.A.

Please, we'll be fine.

Layla still has to
finish her hair,

haggle over everything
about her dress,

and hopefully have a glass of
white before she gets ready.

Basically, everything your
mom does whenever we go out.

Yes. Heh!

Luke. Hey.

Uh, Luke, I...

am I missing something?

Wow.

Look at you. What a sight.

Thank you.

Uh, Jordan called and
invited me to the wedding.

Super cool on his part
and such an honour,

but if you don't think
it's a good idea...

I think it's a great idea.

Willie, this is my friend Luke.

Luke, this is Willie.

Pleasure to meet you,
sir. I've heard only

wonderful things.
Sorry. Oh. Heh heh!

- I'm a hugger.
- What type of cologne is that?

Essential oils.

Lavender with a hint of tobacco.

Oh, so you don't say?

I may need to pick your
brain on the drive there.

That sounds like a
plan. So, after you?

- No, no, no, after you.
- No, please.

- No, no, I insist.
- Sir. No, I...

I'll go.

Heh! Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my God. You look flawless.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

OK. Sure my hair's
not, like...

It's perfect, just like
every other part of you.

Mm. Thanks, Dad.

Hi. Heh!

Whoa.

Bet your mom is beaming
right now. I know I am.

Well, thanks to you
and to everyone,

I'm finally starting
to feel her presence.

Like in a great way,
like she's finally

at peace and guarding over me.

Well, you got all
her best parts,

that's for sure.
Jordan's one lucky guy.

No, no. I'm the lucky one.

They're ready for us.

- OK, uh...
- Well, shall we?

Yes. OK.

Now, for

the couple of the
day... Mm-hmm.

Jordayla... Mm, Jordayla?

Wait. Wait a minute.

Who says that? I
mean, excuse me.

Why can't the ship
name be... Lordan?

Count yourself lucky, OK?

Y'all could be
Spelivia or Olencer.

Oh, wow. Yeah,
Jordayla's great, yeah.

Works for me. Good.

Worth the wait. Hmm.

To me, that is the
theme of y'all's love.

Y'all started off as
friends, really good friends.

Well, actually,
technically, me and Layla

were really good friends,
and then Jordan was just

an annoying
sidekick. Hey, he was

the annoying sidekick that
I brought in and moulded.

We used to call him
"Mouldable Jay."

Spencer, OK, can I finish?

Can I finish?

Now... if we're being honest,

I kinda predicted today.
There's always been

something special
between J and Layla.

Y'all vibed hard,
y'all flirted hard,

and y'all fought hard. Ah.

But, no matter how
messy life got...

and, man, did it get messy...

y'all kept showing
up for each other.

Y'all kept pushing
each other to grow,

and those seeds harvested
something truly,

truly special... a love

we have all been
honoured to witness.

A love fostered
by and inspired by

the way Billy Baker loved

and the way Monica
Keating loved.

I am so damn proud
to marry you two,

to witness that love
because it is a force.

So lean on that force,
especially when life

hits you with that
unexpected detour.

Because no matter how
hard you try to plan

for a better life, sometimes
life will make a better plan.

And when that
happens, just remember

that love is the
strongest power you have.

So ride that wave together,

embrace the change,
control what you can,

and keep loving each
other no matter what.

Ladies and gentlemen,
ladies and gentlemen,

it is about that time
for the first dance,

so, please, join me in welcoming

for the first time

Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Baker.

Can I have, uh, two champagnes?

Yo, you killed it today, baby.

Thank you. Thank
you very... um,

yeah, it felt... it felt
good being up there.

So, what's next... album
release party, the tour?

No, actually... ahem...

I'm thinking about Broadway.

- As in New York?
- Mm-hmm.

- Whatever. Heh heh!
- No, I'm for real.

I just got offered to
be in a musical for...

for the next 8
months. : But you...

you got a album to
finish, and I'm sorry,

but you ain't never
acted a day in your life.

You sure you want to put
yourself out there like that?

Are you serious right now?

Well, I... I didn't
mean it like that.

I'm just saying,
music is your thing.

This is a musical, Coop, so
I'm still doing my thing.

I just... I don't want
to lose you again.

Right...

so this is about you.

Mm-hmm.

♪ I do ♪

♪ To laugh and to cry... ♪

- May I?
- Please.

Thank you.

Aww, you look beautiful.
Layla, Thank you.

♪ ...to kiss back ♪

I'm proud of you, baby. Hmm.

How does it feel to
be a married man?

Mm, honestly, the
same as this morning.

Is that a bad thing?
Willie: Not at all,

but staying married...

that's a challenge.

Spencer hit it on the
head with his message

about embracing change,

so just enjoy every second, son.

I know forever seems
like a long time,

but you never know when
your forever could end.

Yeah. Right.

Shall we?

Yes, let's.

Enjoy.

She's smiling.

- Yeah.
- That's all that matters.

- He smells good.
- There you go.

Spence, you doing OK?

It's got to be tough,
knowing the draft rounds are

continuing on without you.
Well, this wedding was

a happy distraction, but I
am hoping somebody invites me

to their training
camp this summer.

- All you need is one team.
- And all you need

is one speech.
You ready? I am.

While I was listening to
your message, I realised

the key to these speeches
is how you start 'em

and how you close
'em. There you go.

Can I get

everyone's attention, please?

Hi.

Layla... my sister,

my bestie, the one that I
used to play "marry" with

as a little girl,
you're a Baker now.

Well, I mean, you've
kind of always been one,

but today it's official,

and just so we're clear,

there is no returning
my brother, OK?

This is a nonrefundable
transaction.

Fair. And to Jordan,

my brother, my bestie,

the one that I used to
play "marry" with as a kid

with Layla... which is kind
of a full-circle moment,

now that I'm just realising...

you are finally Layla's husband,

something that has been
on your vision board

since you were in
middle school...

That's true.

And something that I know
you're gonna be awesome at.

Now, I could tell you
guys all a billion stories

about my past with
Jordan and Layla, but...

today, I'll let somebody
else do the honour.

"To Jordan.

"Today, you're starting a
new chapter in your life,

"the best chapter yet,
so whatever happened

"prior to this day, just
leave it in the past...

like a ponytail."

My dad always used to say that.

And to Layla.

"I think it's love
at first sight,

"Felt like the earth
moved in your eyes,

"I can see the
future is you and me,

You know just what I like."

It's my mom's song,
"Together 'Til the End."

Your mother wrote those lyrics

for you, Layla, but
in a prescient way,

those words also relate to
you and Jordan right now,

on a day that I am honoured
to share with you two,

a day that will forever
be an imprint on my soul.

I love you both so much.

Aww!

To Jordan and Layla.

Jordan and Layla!

Hey.

Not now, Coop.

Listen, I'm just, uh,
taking in the view.

Yup, well, I'm gonna
need to go back inside.

No, no, no, wait. Listen.

You were right, OK?

I did take your
Broadway opportunity

and make it about me
and my selfishness.

I was a little too
caught up in my own news

to make space in yours,
when we shoulda been

celebrating together.
Can I go now?

Back inside or to New York?

That was rhetorical, Coop. I
don't need your permission.

I know you don't,
and I'm not saying

you got to go to New York,

but I am saying...

you have to go.

OK.

Well, if I do go,

I'm gonna be there
until Christmas.

You mean New Year's, right?

'Cause I'm coming
out there for that,

plus opening night,
closing night,

and bunch of nights in between.

Listen, nobody has
made more sacrifices

for me than you, and
now it's my turn.

♪ The people are hurting ♪

♪ We got to give
them something... ♪

Shouldn't we be dancing a
little faster to this song?

No, I have had 3 pieces
of cake and I'm eyeing

a fourth, so no.

You're amazing.

Considering how everything
worked out last night,

I know today has
been a lot for you.

But here you are,
showing up for everybody,

just like my dad.

That message was for
Jordan and Layla,

but I needed to hear it myself.

- We all did.
- Yeah, but...

I'm not here without the
love you continue to pour

into me and our friends.

I mean, you can check
the receipts, Liv.

You at the core of
everybody's breakthrough,

just like your Pops.

You're the link that
keeps all of us going.

Hmm.

Oh, it's easy to see

why your "Coach Billy
and the Dream Team" book

jumped 100% in sales.

- Wait. Are you serious?
- Yes.

Nikki tried to call you,
but your phone was off,

so she hit me up. She
says she has never seen

a jump like that in
one day. Olivia, What?

You are on your way to being
a bestselling author, girl.

You better write. Oh, my...

- Ha ha ha!
- Oh, my God!

Oh, my God...

You know, it's not every
day that we get to celebrate

a wonderful one-time
achievement,

so, props to me!

Props to me for beating

a dire heart
condition and playing

in the National
Championship. Whoo!

Yeah!

All right!

You know, I had this whole
thing planned for today.

Pics of Jordan in
his bifocal glasses.

I even have pics of Layla
wearing her bedazzled headgear

from when she had
braces. Oh, my God. No.

Whoo! Instead...

I'm gonna choose to focus
on the power of change.

And what I love most
about Jordan and Layla

is how little they've actually
changed over the years.

I mean, yeah, you guys
have grown and matured,

but the love has
always been there,

even since they were kids,
and the only thing better

than finding your
purpose as a kid

is when that purpose is
fully realised and embraced.

Jordan, Layla,

you are each other's
purpose, and today,

that moment was fully
realised and embraced.

But...

My bad. Sorry, sorry.

Ahem. As I was saying...

Are y'all getting a
917 area code, too?

Well, for the love
of God, someone needs

to answer it. Spencer: No.

Not until Ash finishes
his speech. Go ahead, man.

You might want to pick
that up after all, Spence.

Hello? Yeah, this is Spencer.

Yeah. Ahem.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, absolutely. I'm...

I'm ready, sir. I
was... I was born ready.

It... been my pleasure,
sir. Absolutely, yeah.

OK.

OK. Yes, sir.

Thank you. Thank you.

That was, um...

Coach Montes.

I just got drafted to
the New York Bobcats.

Let's go!

Oh, I finally get my
Ducati. What's up?

Break!

4th quarter with 14
seconds left on the clock,

and what a Super
Bowl it has been.

Spencer James with a
back shoulder catch!

New York's down by 4
with 10 seconds to go.

They're gonna need a
touchdown to secure

the first title in their
franchise's history.

With James being doubled
the way he is, if I'm Hinds,

I'd look for the tight end.

Yes!

Owens steps out of bounds,

stopping the clock with
only 5 seconds left!

And just like
that, Spencer James

has led the New York Bobcats

to their first title,
beating Texas 20-17!

Whoo!

Congratulations to New York

on this massive victory,

and a special salute
to the game's MVP,

rookie phenom Spencer James.

Whoo!

None of this is possible
without Coach Montes.

Next, I want to thank my girl,

bestselling author Olivia Baker,

my entire Cali family,
and last but not least,

the most important
person, the real MVP,

my moms, Grace James.

Crenshaw strong, baby! Whoo!

Ah! Ha ha ha!

Excuse me, excuse me. Hi.

Hi. My dad just
told me you wrote

the "Coach Billy" book series.

Is that true? Yeah, I did.

He was... he was my dad.

Can you maybe s-sign
my Coach Billy doll?

- Oh, yeah, of course.
- Thanks.

Is it true they're making
a Coach Billy movie?

Uh, not yet, but there
will definitely be

a TV series next year.

Whoo! Ahh!

Ooh! Oh!
Congratulations, baby!

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

Not only did you dominate
the whole first half,

they came back to you for
the big win! That's crazy!

It is crazy. You're
Super Bowl MVP

your rookie year? You
might as well just retire.

No, no, not until he
buy my motorcycle.

- After you graduate.
- That's happening

in a few months,
you know, then it's

law school, baby,
hopefully. Uh, definitely.

- Proud of you, brother.
- Hey, boy.

Mmm!

So, I see all that
time breaking down film

on video chat has
really paid off.

- It did.
- Heh!

But how would you
like to do that

in person, like, every day?

What, do you want me
to move to New York?

Come on.

You know, my rookie season
in New York has been a movie.

The only thing missing was you.

Now, I already got
your mom's blessing,

so I figured the best way to
get Coach Baker's blessing

was to ask you on
the 22-yard line.
