Spencer on recording: 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.

[Beep]

"Teams are checking everything
but our damn teeth."

I think that comment was

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

Spencer: 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.

Grace: 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.

Coop: Colin Kaepernick.

Olivia: That’s crazy.

So they have players
in the league who have

assault charges?
Coop: Oh, yeah.

Robbery, reckless driving.
I mean--

Grace: Seems like they get away
with it every damn time.

Eric: 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.

[Coop sighs]

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

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.

Olivia: 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.

Grace: 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.

Olivia: 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.

Olivia: OK...

[Sighs]

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?

Olivia: God.

All: Grant me
the serenity

to accept the things
that I cannot change...

[Jordan speaking
indistinctly]

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.
Layla: 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.

[Sighs]

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.
[Jordan sighs]

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.

[Footsteps retreat]

[Sighs]

[Waves crashing]

Male singer:
♪ I’m sunny, I’m sunny ♪

Olivia: Hey, you.
Spencer: 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.

Olivia: Of course.
Jordan: Don’t you have

some maid of honor stuff to do?
Olivia: 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."

-[Chuckling]
-Hey, Spence, how are you?

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

[Olivia scoffs]
Jordan: Mm-hmm.

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

realize 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 realized 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 apologize
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 honored.

Honored, my boy.
Jordan: Heh!

Thank you.

-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.

[Footsteps descend]

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.

-[Chuckles]
-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.
Olivia: I mean, sure it is.

Me and Jordan have already
signed off on Luke,

and our village will, too.
Laura: It’s--it’s not that.

I just--I don’t want
to take away

from Jordan and Layla’s
special day.

OK.

[Grunts]

[Door opens]
Dillon: Hey, bro, if you’re

looking for Mom’s secret
licorice stash,

she moved it in that room
before I left.

Grace: 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 ♪
Spencer: "Glory be"?

And I thought sharing snacks
was a rite of passage

in the James house.
Carter: No, eating up all

your parent’s food is
a rite of passage.

Spencer: Ha ha ha!
Carter: Well, it’s good

to see you taking
the past 24 hours

in stride, Spence.
Spencer: 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, chuckling: Oh, word?

He asked me to be
the photographer.

I even got
a shot list set up.

Let’s see here...

Grace: Uh, those are
just pics of Layla.

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

Think that Jordan’s head.
Dillon: 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.
Spencer: Hey, boy.

Grace: 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?
Grace: Yeah, you.

Jordan and Layla chose you
for a reason,

so trust your instincts
and just speak from your heart.

Carter: And if you need
some texture, just know

that marriage is
a big leap.

Grace: Mm-hmm.
Carter: There’s gonna be

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

Carter: but if they can
ride the wave,

they can manage
the bumps.

Laura: 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...

-[Gasps]
-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"...
Laura: Coop!

-"Tamia Cooper."
-Are you serious?

Congratulations!
Patience: Oh! So good!

So good, Coop.
Coop: Come on, man.

Your girl officially went
from the GAU waitlist

to the Dean’s List.
Patience: Wow.

Coop: 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!
[Tablet vibrating]

[Door closes]

[Gasps]
Colette!

Hey, girl! How’s my favorite
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.
Spencer: Ha ha ha! That is dope!

Well, there ain’t
no turning back now.

You gonna have to
babyproof that whole crib.

Asher: Whew! Facts.
Jordan: Are you serious, Ash?!

Spencer: Whoa.
Talk about babyproofing.

You can’t say "I do" in that.
[Camera shutter clicks]

I can see your heart beat.
Jordan: 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!
Asher: That’s on me.

My bad, bro, my bad.
Jordan: 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.
Jordan: Cool.

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

I’m starting to lose
feeling everywhere.

Find my shirt.

[Chuckling]

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.

[Grunts]

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.
[Door opens]

Laura: There’s our girl
of the hour!

Coop: 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...
Laura: 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.
[Layla chuckles]

Wait. Are these--
Laura: Yes,

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 customized

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.
[Layla chuckles]

Thank you, Mrs. Baker.
This is beyond.

No, sweetie, you are.

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

Heh! OK.

[Both chuckle]

Where are the guys?

They are out getting me
a new shirt.

Yeah, I, uh...

I saw the pics.
Heard a rumor

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...
Olivia: 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...

[Unzips bag]
I don’t know, it’ll bother you.

Hmm.

[Sighs heavily]

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.
Olivia: Yeah.

This patch just
further proves that

Dad is always with you.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

Love you.
Jordan: Love you, too.

Asher, clapping:
Ha ha ha ha!

-Oh, you guys suck!
-Ha ha!

Asher: Yes!
Spencer: Well, now we can

finally have that cigar now.
Jordan: I guess we can.

[No audible dialogue]

-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.
Patience: Layla!

I’m good. I’m good.
We need to--we need to go.

You’re already running late.
Layla: 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.

[Sighs]

[Chuckles]

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

Feels like just yesterday,
I was bailing them out

of jail on their wedding day.
[Dillon chuckles]

Now look at ’em--
all happy and free.

-Eating snacks without us.
-Heh heh!

Grace: We’ll be in the car.
Spencer: All right, Mom.

We’ll be right there.

[Door creaks]

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,

it is the most--
Spencer: 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 favorite
football player...

and brother.

Likewise, baby bro.

Willie! You’re here.

Minus a special someone,
who sends her apologies.

-[Chuckles]
-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.
Willie: 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!

Laura: Luke.
Luke: Hey.

Uh, Luke, I--

am I missing something?

Wow.

Look at you.
What a sight.

[Door closes]
Laura: Thank you.

Uh, Jordan called and
invited me to the wedding.

Super cool on his part
and such an honor,

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.
Willie: 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.

-[Chuckles]
-They’re ready for us.

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

Layla: Yes.
Olivia: OK.

[Cheering and applause]

Spencer: So if there’s anybody
not named Dillon

who objects to this wedding,
please speak now

or forever hold your peace.

We better all be
in those photos, bruh.

[Laughter]
Spencer: Now, for

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

Spencer: Jordayla--
Jordan: Mm, Jordayla?

Layla: Wait.
Jordan: Wait a minute.

Who says that?
I mean, excuse me.

Why can’t the ship name
be...Lordan?

Spencer: Count yourself
lucky, OK?

Y’all could be Spelivia
or Olencer.

Layla: Oh, wow.
Yeah, Jordayla’s great, yeah.

Jordan: Works for me.
Spencer: Good.

Worth the wait.
Jordan: Hmm.

Spencer: To me, that is
the theme of y’all’s love.

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

Olivia: Well, actually,
technically, me and Layla

were really good friends,
and then Jordan was just

an annoying sidekick.
Asher: Hey, he was

the annoying sidekick that
I brought in and molded.

We used to call him
"Moldable Jay."

Spencer, sighing:
OK, can I finish?

Can I finish?
[Clears throat]

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.
Jordan: Ah.

Spencer: 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 honored
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.

Coop: 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.
Coop: 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.

Singer: ♪ I do ♪

-May I?
-Please.

Aww, you look beautiful.
Layla, giggling: Thank you.

Laura: I’m proud of you, baby.
Jordan: 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.

[Whispers]
Yeah. Right.

Shall we?

Yes, let’s.

Jordan: Enjoy.

She’s smiling.

-Yeah.
-That’s all that matters.

-He smells good.
-There you go.

[Overlapping chatter]

[Dance music playing]

Asher:
Spence, you doing OK?

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

continuing on without you.
Spencer: 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?
Asher: I am.

While I was listening to
your message, I realized

the key to these speeches
is how you start ’em

and how you close ’em.
Spencer: There you go.

[Both chuckle, glass clinks]
Olivia: Can I get

everyone’s attention,
please?

Hi.

Layla--[giggles]--
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.

Asher: Fair.
Olivia: 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 realizing--
[Laughter]

you are finally
Layla’s husband,

something that has been
on your vision board

since you were
in middle school...

[Laughter]
Asher: 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 honor.

"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."
[Laughter]

Jordan: 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."

Olivia: 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 honored
to share with you two,

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

I love you both
so much.

Guests: Aww!

To Jordan and Layla.

Asher: Jordan
and Layla!

[Cheering and applause]

[Glasses clinking]

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.
Patience: 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.

[Snickers]

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.

Spencer: 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, giggling: What?

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

You better write.
Olivia: 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!

[Laughter]
Asher: Props to me for beating

a dire heart condition
and playing

in the National Championship.
Spencer: Whoo!

Asher: Yeah!

[Chuckling]
All right!

[Applause abates]

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.
Layla: Oh, my God. No.

Jaymee: Whoo!
Asher: 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 realized and embraced.

Jordan, Layla,

you are each other’s
purpose, and today,

that moment was fully
realized and embraced.

But--
[Text chime]

[Guests murmur]

My bad. Sorry, sorry.

Ahem.
As I was saying--

[Multiple text chimes,
phones vibrating and ringing]

Grace: Are y’all getting
a 917 area code, too?

Laura: Well, for the love
of God, someone needs

to answer it.
Spencer: No.

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

[Text chime,
phone vibrating]

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

[Phone vibrating]

Hello?
Yeah, this is Spencer.

[Quietly]
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...

Can you maybe s-sign
