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. [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 realize, 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 realize 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 defense?

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 defense.

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 rumor 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 clamoring]

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 realize

that there's nothing more
important than family.

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

Crenshaw! Ha ha ha
ha! [Guests cheer]

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.

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 offense
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?

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.

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 realize
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 realize

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 realize
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.

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.

I do, too. [Sighs]
