[Tay] Previously on � Lincoln Heights:

- Save our park! � - You leave now, Rev. Kingston � might even forgive the fence.

- Save our park! � - I'm gonna have � to make some arrests.

Save our park! � Save our park!

He's right. � You shouldn't miss prom.

There is a girl in our class � who's kind of cute.

Are you going � to the prom with anybody?

Yes. Ben Taylor just asked me.

I actually have to get � to the mall before it closes. � I have a dress to buy.

This is tight. � And you wrote this?

- In my room. � - You're gonna blow up.

- Don't forget me � when you go big time. � - Give me a reason to remember.

Smart boy.

You don't mind � that I invited Cassie, do you?

You're walking away � from everything � that I'm offering you?

Absolutely.

I'm trying to build � a neighborhood

and you are � making it tough for me.

The next time you hear � a warning, Sutton, you listen.

Eddie, Lindo wants to see you.

My arrest didn't � go over so well. � Lindo suspended me indefinitely.

Without pay.

�� Lord knows I gotta be ��

�� True to myself to see ��

�� God's been too good to me ��

�� To take things lightly ��

�� We all know � that we have bad days ��

�� Even when our world is gray ��

�� Trouble don't last always ��

�� That's why I'm leaning � on my faith ��

�� Sometimes I gotta stop � and take everything in ��

�� Make room for my new king ����

I hate budgets. � For this kind of expense � we should be having more fun.

Whatever fun you're not having, � you need to have less of it.

Well, at least we did a good job � saving for a rainy day.

Yeah, by the time my suspension � gets over it's pouring.

�� We've just begun ��

�� Oooooh ��

�� Ooooh hooo ��

�� Mmmm � Mm-hmmmm ��

�� Oh, Lord ����

Very nice, Miss Collins.

Very nice. You are officially � accepted into the choir.

[exhales] � Oh, praise the Lord. � Thank you.

Rev. Kingston, Mrs. Hammond � asked me to give you the fliers � we made for the bake sale.

That's thoughtful, Lizzie. � If only all the members of your � family were so considerate.

- [phone ringing] � - Excuse me.

Kingston.

Quick. Everyone out. � There's a bomb!

I thought I was fast. You should � have seen the reverend more. � I bet he used to run track.

Mom, Octavia Collins can really � sing. You should hear her.

She was there? � Isn't Kingston evicting her?

- Last I heard. � - Maybe he's had � a change of heart.

Why would someone threaten � to blow up a church?

Reverend Kingston's got � a lot of enemies.

Why is Nathanial Ray crashing � in my music studio?

An artist needs � his creative space.

Your creative space is also � known as the new guest room.

He's a guest?

Just till my mom can � find a new place for us.

Mama Taylor got another � eviction notice.

- The kid can rock. � - An artist also needs � his fans.

- You can stay. � - Thank you, little brother.

[doorbell rings]

Hey. Eddie, there's been some � developments in the bomb scare � at the church.

It seems the call was made � by one of your church members.

- I can't wait. Who? � - You.

�� The city never sleeps ��

�� You gotta live � to your own beat ��

�� So, easy come and easy go ��

�� What is wrong ��

�� Ohhhhh ����

Is this a joke? You know � I didn't make that call.

Your phone's not working. � The SIM card is missing.

- What's a SIM card? � - It identifies the service plan � of the phone.

You can put it in another phone.

Someone could have made � the threat and blamed me.

Everyone Kingston's evicting � is a potential suspect.

More than likely you have � nothing to worry about. Who else � has access to your phone?

Friends and family. � People I trust.

You lay your phone down � everywhere. I've warned you.

If I could get back on the job � I could help.

- When's that happening? � - Well, this bomb threat � hanging over you

and your beef with Kingston, � there's no telling.

Check this out. For the prom, � me, Lewis and Stewart are � splitting the cost of a hybrid.

First we have to squeeze � into our dresses,

then we have to figure out � how we're gonna squeeze � into a little hybrid?

Hybrid limo. � Our junior prom theme � is "eco-friendly," remember?

- We're doing our part. � - Yeah.

Junior prom is gonna be � the best night of our lives.

If you're straight.

Still no date, Stace?

You know, the limo seats eight. � There's room � for one more couple.

Oh, I'm not going. � My dad's a chaperone.

If you go with a guy � then it'd just be a lie?

If I go with a girl... � Well, I can't.

It sucks you can't be yourself � at your own junior prom.

Cassie, tables five and seven � need bussing,

and I want those tabletops so � shiny I can see my reflection.

- You don't cast a reflection. � - That was almost funny.

By the way, I'm running � for prom queen, and I will win.

- You may bow. � - Don't you have � to get the votes first, Sage?

Duh. I just came out of a coma. � Who's not gonna vote for me?

[beeping]

- I gotta go. � I'll call you later, OK? � - OK.

What I wouldn't give � to knock Sage off her pedestal.

And I know just how to do it.

[bell ringing]

- So, what do you think? � - Did you do this?

Somebody has � to give Sage some competition � and I think you can win.

Hey, Cassie. Stacy.

- Oh, hi, coma girl. � - So, you're running � for junior prom queen, huh?

A little competition can't hurt.

Competition? Sweetie, � you don't stand a chance. � Good luck.

- [bell ringing] � - [Stacy] � She needs to get over herself.

You've got some nerve, � coming in here, Sutton.

There are witnesses here.

Keep an eye on him.

Somebody tampered with my phone.

I didn't make that bomb threat.

- I wouldn't do that. � - You're not fooling me.

You never liked me � from the start.

Unless you plan � on joining in, I suggest � you keep your distance.

- Octavia Collins. � - Hey, Eddie.

- Nice to see you. � - You working � for the church now?

Ever since the reverend � took back his eviction notice � on my home,

my son and I help where we can. � He gave us part-time jobs, � Eddie.

I know you have � your differences with him.

And deep in my heart, I know you � didn't make that bomb threat.

This church needs an angel � like you looking over it.

- What about Joe McTiernan? � - HOOC?

Hormones Out of Control?

The only one I'm interested � in is you-know-who � and that's not happening.

- Why don't you just go stag? � - I'd feel like such a loser.

But honestly, � I can't think of anybody else � to go to the prom with.

- What about me? � - Tay!

Would you stop � coming through my room!

It's quicker through the attic. � So, what do you think?

- Yes! � - No!

He's perfect.

- He is? � - I am?

- If you're serious. � - Yes!

Problem solved. � And your music is hot.

- Are you crazy? He's 14. � - He's tall enough.

And safe.

And the coolest thing is,

I don't have to worry about � anybody hitting on me.

I keep thinking about that bomb � threat. What if someone really � blew up the church?

Oh, don't even. That building's � practically a landmark.

Do you think our house � could be a landmark?

I mean, it was a part of that � Supreme Court housing case.

I smell a new research project.

Oh, babe, I stopped by � the phone store and I picked � you up another SIM card.

That old one's been deactivated.

- I'll keep this one close � from now on. � - Hot.

- What? � - Stacy wants me to go to prom � with her. Nobody asked her.

- I'm perfecto. � - That's my son.

Not so fast. That's my son, too � and my son's only 14 years old.

- Dad, help! � - Dad, do not help your son � hang out with the older crowd.

Come on, Jenn. We'll be keeping � an eye on him the whole time. � He'll be fine.

- Yeah, I'll be fine. � - Well, only because � we'll be there.

- I guess it's OK. � - Yes!

That is not fair. Tay gets to go � to prom but I could barely hang � out with Devin when I wanted to.

Lizzie, proms are so overrated. � Mine was a nightmare.

My date got into a fight with � this other guy who was hitting � on me at the refreshment stand

and I lost my beautiful � diamond "J" necklace.

- I never even got to dance. � - Baby, prom will be better � this time. I promise.

This is Cassie's prom. � We're just chaperones.

My expectations are so low, � you can't even see them.

Guess who's taking your sister � to the junior prom?

Who?

- Get out of here. � - For real, dawg. � I asked her. She said yes.

- So... � - It's not on, dawg.

- My sister's gay. � - Gay? Big deal.

- That doesn't mean � she's not feeling me. � - That's exactly what it means.

Dawg, it's not about gay.

It's about Tay.

Prom? Huh?

Sabrina!

Don't look at me like that.

Mom, you... you can't wear this.

Grandma bought this for me and � she loved it. Just zip me up.

Grandma played you.

Have you seen � my old police manuals?

Nathanial Ray's been asking.

- What you got on, baby? � - It was my prom dress.

Prom dress? As in, you wore that � out in public for all to see?

[laughing] � I mean, it's lovely, baby.

You know what? Fine. � I'm not gonna stress. I'm just � gonna wear a church dress.

- My prom was a nightmare. � I'm just gonna forget about it. � - Tell you what.

Why don't you � go buy something new?

Shoes, a dress, � whatever you want.

Eddie, what, are you crazy?

We're living off one income. � I can't go out...

I know. But your happiness is � more important than money.

I want to treat you � to the prom you never had.

[phone ringing]

I'll get the phone and... � ...burn that dress.

Hello?

What?

Who is this?

- [turns off phone] � - Everything OK?

I just got an anonymous tip. � Says he knows � who made the bomb threat.

If I want to find out, be at the � warehouse at Prospect and 21st

at 3:00 p.m.

Have a cupcake and don't forget, � vote Cassie for prom queen.

It's not like � I want to be prom queen. � I just don't want Sage to win.

With every vote for me you get � a free yummy coffee drink � and a cupcake at the Rev.

Come and get your coupons.

Hey, vote for Sage.

Sage, this is my crowd, my vote.

You can't give away free drinks.

- You don't own the Rev. � - Well, I'm sleeping � with the manager.

- That's kind of like � owning the Rev. � - Cassie, you don't need this.

You have the perfect life.

I was in a coma for three � months, woke up to no boyfriend,

a dad who had to go into rehab, � a broken home.

Prom queen really means � everything to me.

All right, maybe you can � let me have this.

Don't fall for it, Cassie.

She's just trying � to psych you out.

Well, it was worth a try.

If you're not back in ten, � I'm going in.

Hello?

Anybody here?

No show.

They either chickened out � or they're messing with me.

[alarm sounding]

- What rhymes with "sugar"? � - Booger?

[both laughing]

Yo, Lizard.

What you doing on prom night? � Your whole family's going. � So's mine.

- Uh, I have homework. � - [Devin] Me, too.

- I can come over � and we can do it together. � - Dang. You know what?

I can't have company � when no one's home.

Mr. Sutton, is it OK � if I come over on prom night?

- Lizzie and I want to hang out. � - Dad, you know, � I tried to explain your rule

of no company � when adults aren't home.

I'll be home.

I'm not much for babysitting, � but it's the least I can do � for you letting me stay here.

- What do you say? � - Thanks.

A lot.

Wait till you see my tux. � It's totally James Bond.

Mom, are you home?

Mom?

Mom, are you home?

Look what I found.

The sculpture I made � at Sabrina's.

- That's not all � that's destroyed. � - Holy crap. Is that my tux?

What's left of it. � Who would do that?

OK, don't freak out, � but yesterday � I went back to my car

and my window was smashed in. � And the other day I got a text.

What text? � You're scaring me, Charles.

It said, "Did you really think � you could get rid of me?"

Cassie, I think � Sabrina Gasper's stalking me.

Hey, Lou. What's up?

That warehouse you visited � yesterday on Prospect?

It burned down. It's toast.

A security camera � caught you going in and out � just before the fire

and you're the only one � on the tape.

- You think I was responsible? � - I was with him � when he got the call.

- Look. I hate � to bring you in, but... � - I know the drill.

I'm coming, � but this ain't right.

In hindsight I should have � known better. � I was trying to clear my name.

The fact that five minutes � after I leave the warehouse � it's on fire

proves somebody's trying � to set me up.

They made sure I was on camera � to prove I was there.

- What more can I say? � - That you have no motivation

to interfere with Kingston's � redevelopment plans.

I'm a cop.

I follow guidelines.

- I wouldn't go around setting � fires to stray buildings. � - That building wasn't stray.

It was one of � Kingston's acquisitions. � You didn't know that?

How would I? Look, if you don't � believe me, lock me up.

All I did was look around.

That's all we have on tape. � It's not enough to keep you.

Get out of here � and stay away from Kingston.

So I hear the race for � prom queen is pretty close.

- I don't think I'll win. � - Where's positive thinking?

I'm positive � I'm not going to win.

Don't you think that's � a little premature?

Get used to it.

OK, seriously, Ally is on the � prom committee and she told me

you were ahead this morning.

- Shut up! � - Mm-hmm.

You mean I really � might win this thing?

I mean, unless there's a sudden � swing in votes, Sage will be � bowing to your majesty.

Hey, it's mini me.

Very funny. Is Sabrina here? � I need to talk to her. � Tell her it's Charles.

She's out of town � until next week.

[woman] � Miguel, who is it?

- Who's that? � - Nobody Sabrina needs � to know about.

- Look, I don't care... � - I told you, she's not here.

[knocking on door]

He's not here.

Kinda hard to see from here.

Don't you think?

- You sure we should � be doing this? � - Shouldn't.

I just want to find out � what Kingston's up to.

Why somebody's trying � to take him down and blame me.

You can't look at anything � that's not in plain sight.

That plain enough for you?

Kingston was denied a demolition � permit for that warehouse.

Burning it down � accomplished the same thing.

These are pending foreclosure � on another property.

I bet you're gonna � burn that down, too.

Lund, don't ask questions, � just run a surveillance � on 411 Fulton.

I have a feeling it could be � the next arson target. Thanks.

Let's go home. If I don't start � getting ready for prom, � Jenn's gonna set me on fire.

[knocking]

Tay, what? � We're getting dressed.

This is for Stacy. � Think she'll like it?

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Wow, my date looks hot!

So do you, what I can see.

Tay, go downstairs.

Stacy, I know that look � on Tay's face.

- He has a crush on you. � - Come on.

He does. When he finds out � you aren't into him,

he's gonna be really hurt.

You have to tell him the truth.

I'll let him down � as soft as a baby.

I promise.

[doorbell rings]

- What's up, man? � - What's up, Nath?

Hey, Lizzie. � I brought my MP3 player.

I got some lossless music files � you won't believe.

- Don't you want to know � what lossless means? � - Not really.

- Those green corsages � look good. � - And they mean something.

Our class really cares � about the future so � we wanted to make a statement.

I'm proud of you, Cass. � I'm proud of all of you.

And son, you're scaring me.

[doorbell rings]

The best I could do last minute.

I love it.

We're both wearing vintage.

You look amazing.

- [Tay] Wow, Mom. � - [Stacy] Uh-oh, Mrs. Sutton.

- Wow. � - [Charles] Oh, my gosh.

- I second that. � - How do I look?

- [Tay] You look great. � - Mom! You are gonna be � the hottest girl in the prom.

Oh, Cassie, honey, I can't � outshine how bright you are.

For you.

- Eddie! � - [horn honks]

- Limo's here. Let's go? � - See you there.

- Come on. � - Eddie, you and Jenn go on.

- Don't worry. � I'm holding down the bunker. � - Yes, we better go.

- I can't. � I forgot something. I... � - [doorbell rings]

The limo!

I promised you the best prom � you ever had and I meant it.

[pop music plays]

Hey, Charles, look. � It's magical.

I want to kiss you � but your parents are watching.

Hold that thought for later.

Hey, you never told me what � happened at Sabrina Gasper's.

Oh, one of her guys said � she was out of town.

But I heard a female voice.

Maybe she's in town right now � plotting her next move.

I wouldn't put anything past � that psycho. I'm gonna do a lap, � make sure she's not here.

OK.

- I'll get us some punch. � - Great.

- Have you talked to Tay yet? � - I'm waiting � for the right moment.

Ladies, why are we all standing � around like bumps on a log?

How about a little hustle? � A little flow?

- Oh, my god. Mom, stop. � - Uh-uh. You go, Mrs. Sutton.

[Jenn] Oh, this love train is � moving out. Get on board. � Don't get left behind.

Miss, chaperones are not allowed � to get their freak on.

I'm gonna have to ask you � to leave and come straight home � with me.

You're so silly.

Tay. Tay Sutton.

Kendra? � From the recording studio?

- What are you doing here? � - My brother's deejay.

What about you? � Hey, do you want me to hook it � up for you to sing later?

Actually, I'm kind of busy � with my date.

[laughing]

Oh. Well, if you change � your mind...

Everybody, give it up for our � amazing guest artist, Solange.

[cheering]

�� Oooh oooh ��

I can't hear myself.

�� No, no, oh, oh ��

Can you please turn me up � a little bit more?

�� I was a little different ��

�� I didn't do � what the fast girls do ��

�� You studied my rhythm ��

�� Now you can speed me up � when you want to, oooh ��

�� They were too cool � to run my race ��

�� You kept the pace � with a smile on your face ��

- �� Go ahead, baby �� � - �� Go, baby ��

- �� Then I knew he was you �� � - �� Then I knew it was you ��

�� But first you took me around, � introduced me � to your family and friends ��

�� And told them how � once we met that � e would never lose ��

�� Oh, boy ��

�� I decided ��

�� That you are the him for me ��

�� Oh, boy ��

- �� 'Cause I decided �� � - �� I decided ��

- �� You are the him for me �� � - �� You are the one � for me, baby ��

- �� Oh, my boy �� � - �� Oh, boy ��

�� You were running me, � running me down ��

�� Telling me, telling me wait ��

�� Running me down and telling � you were never gonna let go

- �� Is the way you got me �� � - �� The way you got me � when you got me, baby ��

�� Oh, now you got me, baby ��

�� Running me, running me down ��

�� Telling me, telling me wait ��

�� Running me down and telling � you were never gonna let go ��

�� Is the way you got me ��

�� I decided ��

�� That you are the him for me ��

�� Oh, my boy ����

Hey, you getting a new cup?

Don't you care about the earth?

I bet your carbon footprint's � as big as a clown shoe.

Good green chaperoning, sweetie.

You look stunning, Jennifer.

- Thank you, Reverend. � - Come on, Jenn.

I think I see some kid � taking an extra napkin.

No sign of Sabrina, � but I got you a prom favor.

Charles, look, I know a lot of � weird stuff's been happening,

but this is our night. � Let's not ruin it.

You're right. � Not Sabrina. Nothing.

Hey, Charles, 1976 called � and wants its leisure suit back.

- Sage, if you don't have � anything nice to say, then... � - Actually, I do.

I heard the rumor � you got a ton of votes.

Looks like you'll be prom queen.

- Congrats. � - Thanks.

Hey, prom queen, � parents aren't watching.

Locally grown crudités.

Organic soy burgers? � This is hamster food.

I'm gonna go try and round up � some eco-friendly hot wings.

Your husband is a lucky man.

Anita and I haven't � been as fortunate.

That's too bad. � She's a good woman.

Good, yes.

But not strong.

The church, working to bring � change to the Heights.

I'm gonna need � a strong woman behind me.

What the hell are you doing?

My, aren't you skittish!

Skittish?

Try offended, � repulsed and disturbed!

[dance music plays]

�� I'm the type of girl � like to get that dough ��

�� That grooves with Patron � Hit the dance floor ��

�� Let it go ��

�� Let it go, let it go ��

�� Let it go ��

�� You ain't gotta � look no more ��

�� I'm the type of girl � like to get that dough ��

�� That grooves with Patron � Hit the dance floor ��

�� Let it go ��

�� Let it go � Let, let it ����

- What's wrong? � - Tay, you're a great dancer.

You're cool, adorable. � You make me laugh.

- Go on. � - But I like girls.

- I like girls, too. � - I mean, I'm attracted � to girls.

- Maybe you just haven't met � the right guy yet. � - It's not about the right guy.

The fact is, not even Denzel � can turn me on.

I like who I am, Tay. � Liking girls isn't � a choice for me.

If it were, I would just choose � a life that wasn't � so complicated.

Which means you're hard core.

Sorry if I gave you � the wrong idea.

�� Ladies, I'm gonna let you � know how to move my toe ��

�� Right, baby � Walk it out front ��

�� I'm the type of girl � that you give that dough to ��

�� That girl will patrol � on the dance floor ��

�� Let it go ��

Damn this player. � It's a really cool song.

Want to hear my letter � to the Mission Vista � Historical Society?

- I want to play you this song. � - My house could be � a historical landmark.

Johnny would have � cared about that.

And Johnny would have � fixed that player by now.

- Give me a minute. � - Who wants pizza?

Johnny said folding your pizza � pools the grease.

Lemonade, anyone?

You know, a few weeks ago � you actually liked me.

Now all you do is compare me � to Johnny Nightingale.

I like you, Lizzie, and I want � to get back to what we started.

But I am not like Johnny.

Well, maybe you're not � right for me.

Thanks for the pizza, Nate.

[door opens and shuts]

I paid this kid � to get me a shake.

What's wrong?

Reverend Kingston put his hand � on my butt.

- Hold this. � - Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie...

- Eddie, stop it! � - Oh, my god. � Stacy, it's our dads.

- Fight! Fight! Fight! � - That's for putting your hands � on my wife.

Thanks for attacking me � in front of all these witnesses.

That'll help me when I sue you.

Eddie, stop it!

- You committed the arson. � You set me up. � - You have no proof.

- This ain't over, Kingston. � - Come on, Eddie. Let it go.

- Dad, are you OK? � - Did he hurt you?

Everything's all right. � You guys just go on � and have fun.

�� Brothers and sisters, oh � Everyone ��

- �� Yes, we know you can �� � - �� We can ��

How about we start � this party up again?

I thought you were busy.

Change of plans.

- Still want me to sing? � - Yeah.

Dad, you're bleeding.

Don't worry about me.

I want to dedicate this song � to someone who will always be � in my heart.

�� Ohhh, yeah ��

�� Ohhh, I'm the one ��

�� Oooh � This right here ��

�� Is gonna make it clear ��

�� That I've been trying to wait � for you to see me here ��

�� It's crazy 'cause no girl � has made me wait like this ��

�� I'm used to having � whatever a guy could wish ��

- �� I see you wasting time �� � - There's a handsome man there. � Go dance with him.

�� Make me feel � like I want you so bad ��

- Dad... � - Dammit, Stacy.

Go dance with him.

�� My mind, yeah ��

�� Feel like I'm � in the playoffs, � sitting on the bench ��

�� Begging the coach � to put me in ��

�� Sometimes I get the sense ��

�� The game's gonna end � and my team's not gonna win ��

- �� The silence �� � - Here's your chance.

- What do you have to lose? � - At this point, nothing.

�� I'm gonna give my try, baby � Yeahhhh ��

- Hi, Kelly. � - Hey, Stacy, what's up?

Wow. You look great.

Really? I do?

You, too.

Thanks.

Um... Do you want to dance?

I'd love to.

�� Try to fill the silence ��

�� Oh, the silence ��

�� Are you gonna ��

�� Look at me and try ��

�� Baby ��

�� Oh, no, no, no, no, baby ��

�� No, oh ��

�� Ohhh ��

�� Ohhhhhh ��

�� You'll come back to me � in time ����

[cheering]

Robeson High juniors, � can I have your attention?

First I want to say � that all the eco-conscious � efforts made tonight,

our green prom reduced � our carbon footprint by 65%!

And now, the moment � we've been waiting for.

Who will be crowned � junior prom royalty?

This year's � junior prom king is...

...Charles Antoni!

[girl] � Go, Charles!

And our queen is... � I can't think of � a more perfect queen.

...Sage Lund.

[soft music plays]

Please clear the floor � for the king and queen dance.

This is our song.

I know. � I'm not gonna dance with her.

But you're prom king. � You have to dance with her.

I love being royalty.

It's about time something � went right in my life.

Hey.

�� Now I know that you and me ��

�� Were really meant to be ��

�� I believe in destiny ��

- �� Two people can believe �� � - �� I believe in destiny ��

�� And we're together in this ��

[music plays faintly � in background]

[clattering]

[stifled scream]

Remember me?

I hope Charles wasn't � too torn up about the tux.

[screaming]

Stop fighting. � Payback was inevitable.

So, you know � this was inevitable.

Me and you together, � king and queen.

Universe is telling us � we're meant for each other.

Well, tell the universe � not to get its hopes up.

Somebody help! No!

[Cassie screaming]

- That's Cassie! � - [screaming]

Cassie!

Help, somebody!

Let go of her, you freak.

Cassie, come on.

- Let's go. � - [Eddie] Cassie!

[Charles] � Somebody stop him!

[tires squealing]

Son of a bitch! � I'll kill him!

- I got his license. � - [Charles] Cassie, you OK?

Um, Tay hit Mac over the head � with a bottle.

- He saved my life. � - [Eddie] It's OK. � We'll get him.

Eco-friendly bottle. � Doing my job � to save lives and the planet.

I miss my friend.

I know what it's like � to lose a friend.

I've lost four.

In Iraq.

Sorry.

You spend all your time � trying to find � that person again.

No one ever takes their place.

No one ever takes their place.

I just feel bad � being with Devin, � like I'm doing something wrong.

You know, if I wouldn't have � been with him � the day Johnny died...

I mean...

- What if Johnny... � - You can't say "what if?"

Only "what is."

And what is, is...

You like Devin, right?

Liking someone new doesn't mean � you forget the one you loved.

Can you do me a favor?

Walk me to Devin's house?

I think I owe him an apology.

Sure.

Devin, what are you doing here?

I couldn't leave without � making things cool between us.

Look, I'm really sorry � for being mean to you tonight.

The thing is, I've been feeling � guilty being around you,

because, well, � Devin, I like you.

- Well, Lizard, � I can never be... � - I know. I know.

There can never be another � Johnny Nightingale.

But there is a Devin Kingston. � And I like him, too.

- Hey, dawg. Your sister and I � got to first base. � - Dawg, you're tripping.

Nuh-uh. Me and Kendra � got to first base.

Your sis got with Kelly.

I had you.

- [sighs] � - That's how I took down Mac.

- You know, hero stuff. � No biggie. � - You did good, son.

I know I won't sleep tonight.

Then we can stay up and watch � the sunrise from your roof.

- Come on. � - [beeping]

- That Kendra? � - Nope.

Stacy.

Thanking me for being � a good date.

She still wants me.

Hey, I never got � to play you that song.

While I was on the porch � I fixed the MP3 player.

Cool. Let's go listen to it.

- Kids cause you any trouble? � - I'll take the front line � over teenagers any day.

Baby.

Things just aren't going � your way.

The suspension, Kingston...

Now the past is prologue.

Can't look back.

You're not worried?

I am.

But I can't control that.

The only thing I can control � is right now.

And right now,

I have one last surprise � for you.

What did you do?

It's...

It's just like the one I lost.

It doesn't make up � for two bad proms,

but I hope � it can make it better.

�� Sometimes gotta stop � and take everything in ��

�� Make room for � my new king ��

�� Look back on my blessings ��

�� It's time for me to step up ��

�� You gave me a reason ��

�� To walk into my season ��

�� And I've only just begun ��

�� Lord knows I gotta be ��

�� True to myself to see ��

�� God's been too good to me ��

�� To take things lightly ��

�� We all know that � we've had better days ��

�� Even when our world is gray ��

�� Trouble don't last always ��

�� That's why I'm leaning � on my faith ��

�� Sometimes gotta stop � and take everything in ��

�� Make room for my new king ��

�� Look back on my blessings ��

�� It's time � for me to step up ����
