Jordan: Was I right
or was I right?

You ignoring me?

Layla: That's the plan.
Jordan: Uh-huh.

OK, fine.

I will admit

there were
some coincidences.

"Coincidences"?
Dad's long-lost brother's

last known address
is in Los Angeles.

He is the same age
as Coach Bobby, who,

by the way, is shockingly
older than I thought.

And Coach Bobby has been
treating me like crap

since day one.
What do you call that?

Uh, coincidence?

Coincidence, and not
everybody likes you.

[Mock-gasps]
Now you're just being silly.

Look, I just think we need
more proof before you tell

anyone else that
Coach Bobby is the baby

that Grandma Mary
gave up for adoption.

Well, that proof is
actually on its way here

for a big celebration.
Layla: Wait, Jordan. No.

You are not
seriously thinking

of inviting him
to GW's party, right?

Aw, it's sweet how well
you know me, baby.

-Jordan.
-Listen, Coach Bobby

probably feels abandoned
by my family, right?

So if we just get him
and GW in the room together,

I mean, it--
Layla: What? What, what, what?

They're gonna be
so overjoyed by seeing

each other that all
will be forgiven?

Besides, this has
nothing to do

with Grandpa Willie.
It's not even his son.

You know, Grandma Mary gave
that baby up for adoption

before her and GW were
together, and neither one

of them knew
the adoption fell through.

You were much more
agreeable in Napa.

Yeah, well, we were
wine-tasting all day.

I would have agreed to anything.
Jordan: Oh, I know.

You know, I think we
still have a...

few of those bottles, if you
want to crack 'em open.

Laura: There you guys are.
Jordan: OK, Mom.

Hey, uh, listen, this is
not your room anymore.

Can't just bust in here.
You ever heard of knocking?

Have you ever heard
of shutting up and giving

your mom a hug?
Jordan: Yeah. Ahem.

Hi.

Hi.
[Chuckles]

Laura: Hi!
Layla: Hi, Mrs. Baker.

Mom.
[Laura chuckles]

Sorry. Still getting
used to that.

You look great, by the way.
Travel really agrees with you.

Aw, thank you.
Europe was...

a lot of fun, uh, but it's
really good to be home.

It's just a shame
that Liv couldn't be here.

That stomach flu's
really kicking her butt.

Layla: Mmm.
Jordan: Yeah, yeah.

Hmm.

You realise,
without that defender,

you leave yourself
wide open for a sack,

and that doesn't
need salt, man.

What are you doing?
KJ: Uh, sorry. My bad.

Uh, you got something
on your mind?

And the answer better be
a way to beat Torrance.

[Sighs]
OK.

So I kinda been working
on this new play.

OK.

It's called
Fake Boyfriend,

and if I can pull
this off, Khalil's

supposed to completely
fall for Amina.

[Chuckling]
OK, so...hold on.

This is a play that helps
the opposing team score?

[Chuckles]
Gotcha, man.

That's interesting.
Ha ha ha!

Ha ha! Damn!
KJ: OK, are you done?

What, I can't get
no love for that? OK.

OK, fine, fine.
Jokes aside,

whose idea was this?

-Hers.
-And you said yes because?

-I don't know.
-Because she's cute, right?

Well, no, she was
having a rough night

and needed a win.
Cassius: And because she's cute.

OK, I got you.
KJ: Look, I'm just trying

to help out a friend.
Cassius, chuckling: OK, man.

Y'all realise this plan
is stupid, though, right?

-Probably.
-Definitely.

Well, it's too late, OK,
'cause I said yes,

and now she's got
this plan for us

to all hang out
after school,

unless I can't go
because I'm grounded?

She's not gonna
believe that, man.

You're too good a kid.
I don't know.

I guess we just
raised you right.

So you're just gonna send me
out there with no defence?

Thanks, Coach.
Cassius: Hey, you made your bed.

Now you gotta lie
in it, son. Wait.

Now that you got
a fake girlfriend,

do we need to have
the fake talk?

-OK.
-You just let me know

when you're ready.
KJ: You're not funny.

-I got your back, son.
-You're not funny, bro.

I got your back.
Ha ha!

Grandpa Willie: Ha ha! Hey.
Jordan: There he is.

There you go.
Grandpa Willie: Oh, thank you.

Laura: It's so good to see you.
Grandpa Willie: Yeah, yeah.

Ha ha! Can we get
you anything?

Uh...hmm.
Layla: Huh.

Is everything OK,
Grandpa? Or...

Better than OK.

I made a deal with myself
that when I turned 70,

I could do whatever
the hell I want,

so you guys could either
join me or just

stay out of my way.
Heh heh heh!

Jordan: Well, whenever
you put it like that,

I mean, might as well just--
Layla: OK.

Trust me, nobody is gonna
stop you from celebrating.

In fact, I could use
a little fun myself.

Well, great,
because Layla and I

have been planning
a big party

at her club.
Layla: Sorry.

He--he wanted
to keep it a surprise.

Oh, no, we're
definitely surprised.

Grandpa Willie: Well, what I
really want on my birthday

is to be surrounded by all
my friends and family.

Now, the two of you spread
the word, all right?

I want this party
to be huge,

so you got to invite
everyone you know.

You're only 70 once,
right?

Yeah, you got it.
We will invite everyone we know.

Grandpa Willie:
Great. All right.

Layla: Jordan.

Easy, easy, easy.
Ah, ah!

Listen, I am loving
your enthusiasm right now,

but I'm not sure that
right now is the best time.

Shut it, OK?
I know that face.

You are not inviting
Coach Bobby.

Did you even hear
the man at the bar?

"Invite
my whole family," OK?

It's like he's practically--
he's begging us to.

Laura: OK, you two.
What are you hiding?

And don't try and deny it,
because Jordan always rubs

the back of his neck
when he's about to lie.

Ahem. Um...

Mom, there is something
that we need to show you.

OK.

Preach: OK, phones in pockets.
Eyes up front.

It is test time.

And please wait
till everyone gets a test

before you start...

no matter how smart
you think you are.

Marqui: Khalil.

Grab your stuff.

It's time to bounce.

Khalil's in
the middle of class.

I'm sure whatever
business you have

can be handled
after school.

Don't make me ask twice.

Preach: Marqui.

Marqui.

Maybe I didn't make
myself clear.

Khalil is in the middle
of taking a test.

I can't just
let him leave.

Let me clear things up.

I'm that boy's father,

and this is family business.

What you tryna say? I can't
take my son outta school?

What I'm saying is
that any student

that leaves the school
needs to be cleared

by the front office.

Now, I can show you where
that is if you need.

You know, you may have
everybody else

up in here fooled,
but don't forget.

I know where you're
really from, Teach.

Then you should know
my whole get-down, partner.

Now, if there is
any business

that you need
with Khalil,

that can be handled
after school.

[Students whispering]

[Chuckling]

Take it easy, Teach.

Don't call
the hall monitor on me.

[Student coughs]

I'mma catch you
later. Oh...

Good luck
on that test.

I'mma be seeing you,
partner.

Hey, you all right?

Look, if you want to talk
about anything, man, I mean--

Khalil: I appreciate it.
[Door opens]

But you know
I can't talk to you.

[Door closes]
Not about this.

I know that your mind
is probably racing.

Right now, you're going
through a wide range

of emotions, and that's
totally normal.

It's totally normal.

I don't know what to say.
I can't believe this.

Well, you don't have
to say anything right now.

You don't have to say
anything at all, OK?

And once the shock
wears off--

Layla: She knows.

Um, you always play
with your hair when you lie.

Your dad found out
a long time ago.

Uh, wait. Dad knew?
He knew that he had a brother?

Why didn't he say anything?
Why didn't you say anything?

You let me take a job
with Coach Bobby, knowing

that he was Dad's half-brother?
Laura: No.

I knew nothing
of the sort.

Honestly, I don't know
who your uncle is.

And when your dad found out
that he had a brother

that was given up
for adoption, he decided

the best thing to do
was to leave it alone,

which is exactly what
you should do, too.

Tsk. Fine. But, Mom,
you should know that

Dad's brother's adoption
never went through

and that he grew up
in the foster-care system.

And now the two of you
can help me find

a birthday present for GW.
Thank you.

[Drops ropes, panting]

I'm good. I'm just trying
to get it in now

since I won't be able to
after practice.

Oh, yeah, that's right.
Fake date. Heh!

Hey, don't make me regret
saying anything, all right?

You're enjoying this
a little too much.

Aye, you got yourself
into this, man.

And isn't it your job
as my dad to coach me

through these mistakes?
Cassius: Aight, you right.

My advice?

Bring some defence.

Friends, man.
Invite some friends

to this group hangout.
It'll be less awkward

if someone has
your back.

Think about it.
Heh heh!

Fake date. Ha ha!

Breonna: ...for making me miss
my double chocolate cake.

As you know,

torts law examines
"you shouldn't" clauses.

Layla: Not this again.
Breonna: You shouldn't...

Feel like I'm an expert
on torts law now.

Oh, really? So,

if I slip and fall
on your dirty floor

and accidentally
drop-kick you, who's at fault?

Well, call my floor
dirty one more time

and we'll find out.
Coop: Fine.

For your information, uh, I was
just double-checking my notes.

-Sure.
-What?

If you got something
to say, just say it then.

I just feel like there's
a lot of extra,

extracurricular activities
happening with your professor.

Come on.
First Preach,

now you, really?

Look, I am attracted
to her legal mind.

That's it.
Layla: "Attracted."

Interesting choice
of word.

Anyway, uh, this got
delivered here today.

Hey, isn't that the book
you needed for your paper?

And here it is,
delivered overnight

on Prime from, uh,

Professor Strong.

Layla: Huh. Who obviously
[Coop scoffs]

knew that you would be
studying here. Hmm.

I wonder what wise Preach
would think about that.

Yeah, if he's smart,
he'll keep his mouth shut.

[Laptop chimes, Layla gasps]

You have search alerts
on for Patience.

That is so cute.
Oh, do you have one

for the professor, too,
or it's just, um--

OK. At this point, you just
want me to hit you, right?

Look, don't freak out.

These tabloid articles
are always fake,

and they manipulate
photos and try to--

Whatever. I mean,
I don't pay attention

to this kind
of garbage anyway.

It's all good.
[Taps key, video resumes]

Breonna, on video:
These are our duties.

[Door opens]

Coop: Can we just
drop it already?

Patience, what are you
doing here?

Nice to see you, too.

Sorry if I scared you.
I just had some time off,

and I thought I'd just
come and surprise you.

I hope that's OK.

Yeah, no,
of course it is.

Patience: Hi. Hi.
Layla: It's so good to see you.

Layla: Hi.
Coop: Yeah, it is. I just--

I didn't know you were
coming, that's all.

Yeah, that's, uh,

kind of how
surprises work. Tsk.

Also, um,
you probably saw, like,

that ridiculous article.

And that is my cue
to give y'all some privacy.

OK.

Tsk. Um,

look, I just wanted
to tell you in person

that there is nothing
going on with me

and my co-star.
Coop: I knew that was

all nonsense.
I mean, I said the same

exact thing to Layla.
It's all good.

Oh, OK.

Cool, um...

glad there's no problem.

No, but I--I am happy
that you're here.

-OK, yeah.
-So...

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Yeah, me, too.

Jordan: Khalil. Hey.
You got a sec?

[Distant,
indistinct chatter]

[Door closes]

Look, I--I know I was off
at practice today.

It won't happen again.

I know it won't.

I figure this has something
to do with your dad

showing up to school
this morning?

-Preach told you.
-Yeah, and it's been

the talk
of the school.

Latest rumour is
there was

a Wild West shootout
in the hallway.

It's not too far off.

Listen...

we can talk
about this

if you want.
I'm here.

Plus, I'm not a Blood,
so, you know,

there's no conflict
of interest there.

I guess Preach
told you that, too.

Mm-hmm.

The police are
looking for him.

My pops. He needs me
to tell 'em he dropped

me off at Amina's overnight
food drive here at 8:00.

And is that what happened?

Has your dad--[sighs]--
has he ever asked you

to do something
like this before?

[Khalil sighs]
Jordan: Right.

Not exactly a Beverly Hills
kind of problem, huh?

You'd be surprised.
[Chuckles]

Listen, maybe--maybe I
could talk to your dad.

I appreciate it, but that'll
probably just make things worse.

Khalil, hey, Khalil, hey,
listen, my mom is in town,

OK? She used to be the DA.
Maybe you could speak with--

You know what happens to cats
like me that get caught

snitching to the DA?
-It's not snitching, Khalil.

It's just--
-The cops got a witness, Coach.

Only way out is
to say he was with me.

Look, I know
you trying to help

and everything, but you're
not really from here,

so I don't think you
understand how things work.

I gotta bounce.

Sorry again
about practice.

Coop: So, if I popped
a dude in the throat

and he injured someone,
I could be held liable.

OK, and why are you
punching this guy?

I don't know.
Maybe he missed the point

I was trying to make.
Let me explain again.

No, no, no.
I mean, I get it.

I get it.
You're liable and all that.

Wow.

I just never seen you
this into school before.

You're like a nerd.
[Coop chuckles]

We prefer to be
called academics.

OK, Ms. Academic.

[Chuckles]
I just mean,

it's, um...
it's just different,

like school's all you
can talk about.

Well, it's not all
I could talk about.

But you know how I used to
always struggle in class?

-Mm-hmm.
-I don't know, once I got

to law school,
it all just clicked.

And I'm doing it again.

My bad.
Look, I really do

want to hear all
about the show.

-OK.
-And aren't you hungry?

I mean, you're usually
starving after a flight.

Yeah, um,

about that...

I am vegan now.

What?
Coop: Yeah, right. Come on.

We once placed second in
a hot wing-eating contest,

and the only reason
we didn't place first is

because you ate
a hamburger beforehand.

Yeah, well, you know,
some of the other actors

said it gave them
more energy,

and with 6 shows a week,
I need all the help I can get.

OK.
Talk about different.

But listen here, do not
expect me to turn vegan

when the show ends
and you move back here.

Tsk.

So, um...

that's kind of another reason
why I came to see you.

I got offered the lead

in a new play,

and it runs
for ten months

in London.

["Connect to Everything"
playing]

Male singer: ♪♪ I put on my
shoes, didn't think about it ♪♪

Amina: OK, so he's having
this big birthday party

at Layla's, and all
of Crenshaw's invited.

What do you get for a man
who just turned 70?

A woman who just
turned 60?

-Ha ha ha ha!
-Heh!

OMG,
that was so funny.

Khalil, didn't you think
that was funny?

Oh, I wasn't listening.

That's too bad.
It was pretty funny.

I hope you don't mind
Kingston joining us.

His friends canceled,
and I felt so bad.

I didn't want to leave
my poor boyfriend all alone.

It's all good.
Hey, I'm sorry your friends

don't like you, bro.
KJ: It's aight.

Much rather be here
with my girl anyway.

Right, baby?

Ahem!

Oh, hey, Tori.

I'm so glad you
could make it.

Kingston, sweetie,
you didn't tell me

you were inviting
a friend.

Khalil: Who knew he had any?
Tori: Hope it's OK.

KJ also didn't tell me
he invited someone,

or that he'd be draped
all over that someone.

Babe, you should have
told her we're together now.

KJ: Uh, y-yeah,

yeah, we're, um,
we're together now.

Tori: Mm-hmm.
KJ: But it's all very new.

Very.

Khalil: And suddenly,
"irrelevant" has a face.

Wait, do you guys
know each other?

Trivia host, tapping mic:
OK, everybody,

put your phones away
because it's time for trivia.

KJ: Heh! Trivia?
Khalil: Trivia? [Scoffs]

Naw, look, I got
real stuff going on.

I ain't got time for this.
Um, have a good day.

Good luck.
Catch up with y'all later.

KJ: You scared I'm
smarter than you?

[Scoffs] Boy, what?
I'll wipe the floor

with you
if I felt like it.

Prove it.

Stay and play.

Stay, Khalil, please.

It'll be fun.
Uh, we'll do teams.

How 'bout--
Tori: Beverly versus Crenshaw.

Nothing wrong with a little
friendly competition.

You're cool if I borrow
your boyfriend, right, Amina?

Amina: Let's do it.
Khalil: Let's.

I mean, talk about
dope vegan options.

London is it,
and you get to perform

in the West End?
That's amazing.

Why don't you
look happy?

I don't know.

Why do you seem
so happy?

Because my girl was
out here killing it.

I don't know, I thought
you would be more upset

that I'm moving so far away.
Coop: Can I not be two things?

Listen, I--I'm just
trying to be supportive.

But we made it work
before,

and we can make it
work again.

If you say so.

OK, then I'm happy.

Yeah.

Everything's fine.
Coop: OK.

And the answer is...

"elf."

[Tori gasps]
Trivia host: Legolas was an elf.

Not an orc or an ogre.

I ain't understand
a single word

of that sentence.
Amina: I know. What even is

the difference
between elves and ogres?

Well, for one, elves have
a much slenderer build.

Yeah, and elves are good
with bows, while ogres,

they prefer clubs.
Amina: Well, I'll keep that

in mind next time
I run into an ogre.

Khalil: Yo, quick question.
You always been this white

or you just been
in Beverly Hills too long?

Tori: So, because
we love fantasy,

we can't be
authentically Black?

Tell that
to Tomi Adeyemi.

"Children of Blood
and Bone"?

Khalil: Whatever.
This thing's rigged.

He ain't asked one
single sports question.

Tori: Quidditch is a sport.
Trivia host: Next up,

category is...sports.

Khalil: Oh, here we go.
Trivia host: Other than golf,

what sport was played
on the moon?

KJ: Oh!

[Scoffs]
Course he knew that.

[Sighs]
Maybe we should just forfeit.

Look, I'm sorry I
wasn't much help.

They don't teach
space golf at Crenshaw.

[Chuckles]

But I appreciate
the invite.

I needed the distraction.
Amina: Yeah.

That whole thing
with your dad probably

wasn't the best way
to start your morning.

Far from the worst.
Heh!

Yo, I definitely failed
that test earlier.

Oh, I wouldn't worry.
There'll be a retest.

Like, half
of the class cheated

when you guys left anyways.
[Khalil chuckles]

What did your dad want?

He needs me to tell
the police that he dropped

me off at your food drive
the other night at 8:00.

But didn't you get
there at, um...

Your dad wants you
to lie to the police?

Look, you don't get it.
Ever since my mom dipped,

it's just been me and him.
Kept a roof

over my head,
clothes on my back.

Is a alibi really
that much to ask?

No, I get it.
My mom and dad had a past.

My dad even went
to prison,

but he'd rather go back
before ever putting me

in the position of lying.
Khalil: My--[scoffs]--

my pops is trying
the best he can, Meen.

Look, I'm not saying he's
a bad father. I'm not.

But what he's asking you
to do is wrong,

and I think that deep down,
you know that, too.

So what are you
gonna do about it?

[People cheering and clamouring]

Grandpa Willie: Ah! Ha ha ha!

Gonna keep this quick
'cause I'm old

and my drink's almost empty.
[Guests chuckle]

Grandpa Willie: Being here
with you all makes me realise

that there's nothing
more important than family.

So thank you to my family
for helping me to celebrate.

Crenshaw! Ha ha ha ha!

it just seems like there's

just not much of a family
left anymore.

Yes.

And I'm grateful
to still have

you two, so let's

Man, get in the car!

We can't put this
off no longer!

-I can't do this anymore, Pop.
-Can't do what?!

Help out your pops?!

You know what I mean.

Who put you up
to this?

Was it Preach?

That weak-ass coach?

Nah, it's all me.

Oh, it's all you?

After all I did for you?

Gonna turn your back
on me like that?!

Where's your loyalty at?!
Khalil: Where's yours?

I get caught lying
to the police, then what?

I'm right there
in jail with you.

I'm your son.
You're supposed

to be looking out for me,
not the other way around.

Son, I would never
let anything

like that happen
to you, man.

You're already
letting it happen.

I can't go
with you, Pop.

I'll look out
for my future for once.

Your future?

Boy, if they
lock me away...

your future is
foster care.

I guess I'll figure
something out...

and so will you.

[Scoffs]

I guess I will.

[Car door opens and closes]

[Engine turns over]

Layla: [Inhales sharply]
All right.

What's going on
with you and Patience?

Nothing's going on.
Why? She say something?

Well, you're here,
and Patience is...

mmm, I think that's her.
It's kinda hard

to tell at a distance.
Coop: Hey, I don't see you

and Jordan hooking up
on top of the bar.

Well, that's why we
have a storage room.

That's disgusting.
I hang my coat in there.

[Chuckles]

Look, fine. Um...

she's mad at me
because I'm not mad

at her, and I'm
getting mad

because I'm
not getting mad.

I--I may have had
too many drinks

for this conversation.
Can you be more specific?

She got a job in London,
she'll be gone a year,

and I guess I didn't cry
enough about it.

Have I ever been
the crying type?

No, but you are
the passionate type.

I mean, are you upset that
she's gonna move away again?

Sure, but it ain't
like we can't visit.

Like, look, Olivia
was gone for way longer

than that when she went
to London, and her

and Spencer turned out fine.
Layla: Seriously?

Coop, that's, like,
the worst example ever.

That nearly destroyed
their relationship.

Yeah, but they good now,
and so are me and Patience,

so you can let Jordan
know you guys are not

the hottest couple
in here.

Layla: Thank you.

Cassius: Wait, so you invited
the girl that likes you

to hang out with the girl
that's pretending to like you?

I told you to invite
friends, not drama.

Heh! Look,
the guys were busy,

and Tori is a friend.

I doubt she even
likes me anymore.

[Chuckles]
I used to tell people

you're the smart one.
That's crazy.

KJ: Heh heh! OK, well,
uh, you dropped me off.

Thanks, but I'm sure you have
anywhere else to be, so--

Hey, the, uh,
hopeful dreamer, right?

[Cassius chuckles]
KJ: The who?

Cassius: Mind your business.
Ain't you got a girlfriend

to go catch up with?
[KJ chuckles]

Look, I'm--
I'm sorry to crash.

I was just dropping off.
Layla: No, nonsense.

You should stay.
I mean, the more the merrier.

Here, let me grab you
a whiskey.

Layla: Hey.

Hey, can I ask you something?
Jordan: If it's about

the storage closet,
the answer is always yes.

Layla: No, Jordan,
it's about Coach Bobby.

Please tell me you
did not invite him.

What do you--
what do you mean?

I--I have no idea
what he's doing here.

Coach Bobby: OK. Baker,
what--what's the emergency?

Coach, we're all good.
False alarm.

Uh, didn't I text you?
Laura: Jordan.

Jordan: No?
But you know what?

But since you're here,
what do you say you

come wish my Grandpa
a happy 70th birthday?

I mean, he'd love
to meet you. Yeah?

Come on, let's go. GW.
Layla: Jordan.

Jordan: GW, hey,
real quick, come over here.

Uh, this is Coach Bobby,
my boss at South Crenshaw.

Bobby: Happy birthday, sir.
GW: Nice of you to make it.

Doesn't he look
like, uh,

you know, someone
from long ago?

"Long ago"? Heh!
I can hardly remember

what I had for breakfast
this morning.

Jordan: Right, right.
Hey, well, come on.

I mean, you know,
doesn't he look like

someone...anyone,
you know, close to you?

[Whispers]
Jordan, this is ridiculous.

Uh, wait, wait,
wait, wait.

Yeah, yeah.

I know who you are.

You played at Dorsey.
Coach Bobby: Heh!

You played
against my Billy

in high school.
Yeah, yeah!

Yeah, you were one hell
of a player, man!

Jordan: No, no, no, no, no, no.
Coach Bobby: Heh heh!

GW, look at his face.
Doesn't he

remind you
of Grandma Mary?

Excuse me?

Laura: Jordan Baker, stop it!
Grandpa Willie: Wait, wait.

What the hell are you
getting at?

Laura: Don't--it's nothing.
It doesn't matter.

Boy...speak.

I found out
that Coach Bobby

is the baby
in the picture.

He's Grandma Mary's son.
He's my uncle.

Uh, uh, no, no, no.
What the hell

are you talking about?
Jordan: Coach, I am so sorry,

OK, but we had no idea that
your adoption fell through, OK?

[Stammering]
And I spoke to the people

at the foster care,
and they told me that--

I was never
in a foster home,

OK? And no offence
to your wife Mary,

but I'm told that I look

just like my mother.

Look, I'm--I'm sorry.

Jordan didn't mean any harm.
He just--he wasn't thinking.

Grandpa Willie: You're right.
He wasn't thinking.

That's the damn problem.
I thought I told you

to leave this alone.

Why couldn't you?

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

Coach Bobby:
Baker, Baker, Baker.

Never a dull moment
with you.

I'm sorry.

It just, uh...

it just felt like you
were out to get me

from the start, and it just--
it seemed so personal.

'Cause it was. Heh!
Not for the crazy reason

you got cooked up
in your head.

You know, truthfully,
you weren't

my first choice
for this job.

I mean, hell, you weren't
even on my list.

Then why did you
hire me?

Because
the boosters wanted

Billy Baker's son.

I just thought you
were this spoiled kid

from Beverly Hills
who didn't deserve it.

And so far...

haven't
proven me wrong.

Enjoy your party.
Oh, and, uh,

you better not be
late for practice

tomorrow morning.

KJ, chuckling: Hey,
I was looking for you.

You don't have to fake it.
Khalil's not here yet.

Oh, so unless Khalil is

around, I can't be happy
to see my friend?

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.

I'm just...
KJ: Distracted?

What's going on?
You know,

fake boyfriends also
make good listeners.

[Chuckles]

Well, Khalil's dad's
kinda bad news,

and I think I pushed
Khalil too hard

to stand up to him.
Now I'm worried

I set him up for failure.
KJ: Hey,

whatever Khalil decided
to do with his own dad,

that's on him, not you.

And if you really want
to know how it went...

just ask him.

Am I a bad fake girlfriend
if I go ask him now?

No.

You're a good real friend.

Not that Khalil
totally deserves it,

but...that's just
who you are.

So go.

What?
[Chuckles]

Nothing,
just...thanks.

You look like you
could use a drink.

Heh! Yeah, can't seem

to get the bartender's
attention.

She's probably mad
at me, too.

Uh, I don't think you're
supposed to do that.

Ah, it's OK.
I know the owner.

I'm married to her,
and I'm not allowed.

She told me
specifically.

Well, it's a good thing
I'm not you, then.

Now, why are you being
so nice to me?

Look, um,

I heard what your coach
said to you now.

That's rough.

He's not wrong.

Yeah, he is.

And he's a bully.

Trust me, man.
My dad was worse.

One time, I missed
a catch during practice,

and he made me go get
my birth certificate

to prove
that I was his son.

Wow.

That's, uh...

And I thought
my dad was tough

for the 5 a.m.
practices. Heh!

He always said they
would make me

a better man, though.
Cassius: Looks like it worked.

-Hmm.
-Look, I seen you

in action, man,
and of all the teams

I dread facing
during the playoffs,

you guys are at the top
of the list.

Assuming
we make it there.

You'll make it.

You will.

And, for what
it's worth,

I am dreading playing
y'all as well.

It's gonna be one hell
of a matchup, though.

-Mmm.
-Yeah.

To the dads.

-Mmm.
-Good and bad.

Good and bad.

[Indistinct chatter]

Patience: Yes.
[Woman laughs]

Coop: Mm-hmm, here she go.
Patience: Oh.

Um...hi.

Hello to you, too.

I'm sorry. I just--
you look so sexy,

I just can't keep
my hands off of you.

Yeah, well, try
a little bit harder,

'cause we're in a room
full of 70-year-olds, OK?

Mm-hmm. Come on.
Come on. This our song.

No, I've never heard
this song before.

So let's make it
our song.

OK, since when do you
grind up on me like this?

Since when do you complain
about everything that I do?

What's the problem?
Patience: The problem is you've

been acting weird all day.
Yeah, so let me know when

my Coop decides
to finally show up, OK?

I need some air.

What are you
smiling about?

Um, hopefully the beginning
of a beautiful friendship.

I'm glad you made it.

But twice in one day?

I hope you don't
get sick of me.

Hasn't happened yet.

Tori: Your girlfriend
seems to really like

spending time
with Khalil.

You're cool
with that?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, totally.
I mean,

I'm not
the jealous type.

Oh, yeah.

I guess it's hard
to get real jealous

over a fake girlfriend.
KJ: Heh heh! What?

Uh, what are you
talking about?

Don't try to deny it.

I can read you
like a book.

Man, I didn't realise
it was that obvious.

Yeah, well, I am a lot
smarter than you.

-Yeah.
-So, are you, like,

a boyfriend for hire,
or is this

so Amina can make
Khalil jealous?

-Oh, you are smart.
-Told ya.

-Heh!
-So Amina gets Khalil.

What do you get out
of the deal?

Um...

I guess--heh!--
the satisfaction

of helping out
a good friend.

Wow, that sounds lame.

Actually,
it sounds nice.

I couldn't even get my friend
to drive me to the airport.

You should have
called me.

So, in your
fake relationship,

are you allowed
to have real friends?

Because I know of another
trivia night happening.

First prize is $500.

It could be fun.

Uh...

Yeah. Why not?

After you.

Your boy's getting pretty cozy
with that cheerleader.

Oh, they're just friends.
Plus, I'm not the type

of girlfriend
who gets all jealous.

I see that.

Thanks again
for earlier,

the advice?

-So I didn't make things worse?
-Heh! Nah.

It actually felt really good
to stand up for myself.

And besides,
my dad's resourceful.

He's probably already
figured another way out.

I really hope so,
for your sake.

I know he means
a lot to you.

Woman: Khalil Edwards.

Your father, Marqui Edwards,
was just placed under arrest.

We need you to come with us
and make a statement.

Khalil: Statement about what?
Detective: About his whereabouts

last Friday.
Jordan: And what if he doesn't

want to go?
Laura: I'm Laura Baker,

former District Attorney,
and the last time

I checked, you can't
force a minor

to give a statement unless
they're willing to do so.

Laura: Do you want to give
a statement to the police?

I ain't got
a statement to give.

Laura: You heard him,
so you should probably go.

This is a private party.

[Music playing]

[Indistinct singing]

Ah.

[Sighs]

I hate it
when you're right.

Heh!
Jordan hates it, too.

Hope it's not catchy.

[Sighs]

You know, when Patience
moved to New York, it was

like a kick in the gut.

I don't feel that way
about London,

and same
with that article,

but...
I can't explain why.

You guys spent a lot
of time

away from each other.

Maybe you've just
grown up,

or grown apart.

You won't really know
which it is

until you both stop
pretending and be real

with each other,
you know? And then

whatever comes with that,
you deal with it.

[Scoffs]

GW...

I just want to say
I'm sorry.

I overstepped tonight,
and if you are

still mad at me,
then I totally get it.

Stop that talk.

I'm never mad at you.

You might frustrate
the hell out of me,

but I'm never mad
at you.

Regardless, I'm sorry.

I don't know why

I wanted this so badly.

Probably for the same reason
I've been hiding in Europe.

Grandpa Willie: And the reason
I wanted to throw my big party.

Maybe if we were
having fun,

we wouldn't notice
he was missing.

Grandpa Willie: But that
worked out about as well

as your plan, hmm?
[Chuckles]

Yeah, I've been thinking
about--about Dad a lot lately,

and I didn't think I'd
still miss him this much.

Maybe I hoped
that if I found his brother,

then...it would help me

miss him a little less.

Grandpa Willie:
It's OK to miss him.

We're supposed
to miss him.

That's how we heal.

You remind me so much
of him, you know?

The way you stood up

for that kid Khalil
earlier.

That was the most Billy move
I've ever seen you make, man.

Made me so proud.

Yeah.

All right, all right.
Um, that's my cue.

Hitting the after-hours
with my boys.

Jordan: Heh heh heh!
Grandpa Willie: Don't wait up

for me now.
Laura: We won't.

Grandpa Willie: OK.
Jordan: Be safe. Happy Birthday.

-All right, man.
-Happy Birthday.

-Thank you. Love you.
-Love you.

Laura: 'Night.

Well...

[Both chuckle]

Laura: I love you.
Jordan: Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry that I
didn't realise

how much you were
still missing Dad.

It's OK.
Escaping to Europe

was a good way to hide it.
Jordan: Hmm.

Except I went
to bed every night

and didn't realise
how lonely I was.

Mm-hmm.

Why are you smiling?

Heh heh heh!
No reason, OK?

Just give Olivia
a call, and ask her

to tell you the real reason
she couldn't make it.

I think it'll
make you happy.

OK.

I have to go find
my wife.

[Both chuckle]
Jordan: OK, I love you.

Laura: I love you, too.
Jordan: OK.

[Electricity buzzing]

Thought I might
find you here.

Coach...

what are you
doing here?

Looking for you.

You've had one hell
of a night.

I figured maybe we
could talk.

You got
a really nice house.

It's yours now, too,
at least until we

figure out something
more permanent.

Khalil: You sure this is OK?
Jordan: I'm sure.

Yeah, this house has a history
of coming through in a clutch.

Actually, I was, um,
asking Ms. Baker.

Smart kid.

It's totally fine.

You should go upstairs
and make yourself at home.

It's the second door
on your right.

Thank you...

both of you.
Jordan: Hmm.

[Footsteps ascend]
Layla: Wow.

You were hoping for
an uncle, and you

ended up with a son.
Jordan: Mm-hmm.

I hope you know
what you're doing.

Jordan: Yeah.

[Footsteps ascend]

I do, too.
