It's the middle of the 4th quarter...

Kilson 14, GAU 10, and welcome back to the ATL bowl,

sponsored by Angry Hippo.

"Nothing charges you like an Angry Hippo,"

except maybe Chomps Taylor.

If you're just joining us,

it's been a rough one for Jordan Baker and the GAU offense,

due in large part to number 56,

Rodrick "Chomps" Taylor,

who has 4 sacks on the day.

44's the mike, 44's the mike!

Ready,

white 80, set!

Oof!

Is anybody gonna block him?!

You know what time it is!

Come on!

Yeah! Whoo!

- What I'm talkin' about, baby! - Get up, Jordan.

Why can't they stop that guy?

J.'s gotta get rid of the ball faster.

Or Spencer's gotta get open faster.

Man, please. My boy Spencer's the only one that showed up today.

Anybody else hungry?

Taylor is eating us alive.

See, what Garrett should do is doub...

That's all right, Jordan!

Walk it off, baby! Short memory!

- Let's go! - Short memory!

He came back too early.

I can tell his hand's bothering him. I knew it.

Well, if it was serious, Coach Garrett would have pulled him.

Yeah, well,

I'm not too sure about that.

Do you guys want me to die out there?

'Cause it's about to be a crime scene!

J.'s right. Look, I'm getting open,

but he can't find me 'cause he got a runaway train coming.

- Y'all gotta do something. - Winfield, grab your hat. Come on.

Let's go. Get in there. Come on.

Let's get it. Come on. 22 pink rad, on 1, on 1. Ready?

Yo right here, right here!

Isaiah Winfield in motion.

- All right and hut! - Baker hikes the ball.

Quick screen to James, who gets a huge block,

and there's nothing but daylight ahead.

Spencer James is in for an easy touchdown,

and the Condors take the lead.

- Yes! - You see that throw?

- Did you see that catch? - You see my fries?

Flag on the play. The touchdown's coming back.

It's gonna be a personal foul on Isaiah Winfield.

Yeah, it was an illegal chop block

to the knee of Chomps Taylor,

and the star linebacker is still down.

Do you see that?

Well...

Payback's a bitch, Chomps.

Yeah, right? He's been hitting Jordan all day.

Why can't they hit him back?

Yeah, well, they can, but not like that.

- Synced and corrected by chamallow - - www.addic7ed.com -

Yeah, I saw the hit, Liv. I'm... I'm right here.

Calm down because there's nothing we can do about it right now.

Look, we'll deal with this when I get back.

OK? OK?

All right. Yup.

- You'll "deal with" what? - Hmm?

- What did you two see out there? - Um, nothing.

If it's nothing, you and Olivia wouldn't be so concerned,

and if it affects my son, I need to know, Billy.

OK, look, I don't want you telling Spencer this

until I know for sure, OK?

OK.

I think Garrett had Isaiah hit Chomps intentionally.

- Really? - And if that's the case,

- they're looking at some serious NCAA sanctions. - Wow.

That's if they even still have a football program.

Wow.

The clock is ticking.

Jordan Baker is 3-for-3 since Chomps Taylor went down,

and the Condors are driving with just seconds left.

Ready...

White 80, set!

Baker drops back.

He's got Spencer wide-open down the field.

He throws it, and it's...

Picked off!

Baker's pass came up short,

and that turnover will end the game.

The Cougars hang on to win, 14-10.

Uhh! Damn it!

My dad was right. I shouldn't have played.

I shouldn't have played today.

No, it wasn't all on you.

It just wasn't our day.

So what now?

Back to the grind.

We got a lot more seasons ahead of us, man.

We just getting started.

Have you talked to Jordan yet?

What did he say about Isaiah?

Oh. Morning, sweetie. I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking.

- Dad? - Mm-hmm?

You said you would handle it when you got back. It's been a week.

OK, what, you got some kind of a deadline or something?

Are you not handling it?

I was just trying to get our ducks in a row

- before we start charging on. - OK, well, they're in a row.

Enough ducking around already.

- That's cute. - Dad, I'm being serious, please.

- OK. Ahem. - I've been looking into Isaiah.

He lost his scholarship to Spencer,

so, he's basically a walk-on with no money

who spends most of his time on the bench.

He's the perfect candidate for Coach Garrett's bounty hunt.

Well, most freshmen sit on the bench. Um...

your brother and Sp... um...

You can say his name. I'm not gonna

spontaneously combust. It's just a breakup.

How are you doing with that, by the way?

'Cause I'm here if you need to talk.

Thank you.

I'm OK.

I mean, is it easy to have an ex

that you still have feelings for that's connected

to all parts of your life?

No, but I'm handling it, OK?

I'm focusing on me, which takes me back to Garrett's takedown.

You and I both know that Isaiah hit Taylor like that on purpose.

Mm-hmm. Now, I'm not disagreeing with you,

but it's not what we know; It's what we can prove.

Then I will go talk to Isaiah and get proof.

OK... no, no, don't... don't do that.

We don't want to go set any alarms off, right?

Now, if... if Isaiah is guilty...

- He is. - Right.

Then he'll probably deny it and go running back to Garrett,

then they'll have time to cover this whole thing up.

Now, look, Liv, I'm proud of you.

This is so much more than just an article,

all right? This not only affects Coach Garrett and...

and Isaiah; this affects the entire team.

So what, then? We do nothing,

and we just let him keep hurting people?

Absolutely not, but I, as the adult,

need to take the wheel from here on out.

Carter ain't got no blender?

That man barely has anything in his kitchen.

Ain't blenders wedding-registry gifts?

You should just get a new one. You don't need that old, busted thing.

Let me guess. You need a blender.

No, I'm just taking a mental note of everything

you taking up outta here, so I know what I need when I move in.

Oh, sorry, Tamia. I rented out the place.

It's kinda why I'm packing it up.

You moving out of the Bakers' house?

Not yet, but when I get into GAU,

I'mma want to be close to the campus.

Besides, I'm not even sure I want to stay there now that

- Spence and Liv are... - Now that we're what?

Uh, broken up, doneso, splitsville.

Speaking of splitsville, ain't you got somewhere to be?

Come on, bro. Don't be like that. It's been, like, two weeks.

You broke up with her,

and the only time you ain't crying at home

is when you crying at the gym.

Liv should be the one walking around acting butt hurt.

Tamia's right. Not all that "butt hurt" business,

but now you have to live your life.

It ain't that easy just to move on, Ma.

Yeah, seems to be that way for Liv 'cause she always out.

- Out where? - You're in college.

Enjoy being young while you can.

One hundred. You need to do a little less working out

and a little more wilding out.

Hey. I just got off the phone with A.A. Ron Davis,

and he signed to Keating Records.

Well, he is A.A. Jerk.

I'm surprised Key and Peele haven't sued him yet.

Yeah, well, he's the second artist I've lost to Clay this week.

Hey, yo... sorry. Am I interrupting something?

Uh, no, not at all.

What are you doing here?

Yeah, what are you doing here, Jordan?

Is that coffee for us?

I hope you guys like vanilla lattes.

- They are my favorite. - Aw. That is so nice.

And it was perfect timing, too, 'cause Layla is in a mood.

- Yeah? - Clay.

Ah. What about Clay?

Um, he can offer artists everything:

a P.R. department, a marketing department, a social-media department,

and I don't even have business cards with my name on them.

Well, who needs business cards anyways, right?

You're Layla Keating. I would take you any day.

I mean... what I mean is, like, I would rather be with Layla

than Clay, business-wise... not sex.

Anyway, um,

I have to step my game up 'cause

Keating Records' P.R. department is top-tier,

and they'd be tough to beat, but luckily, I have known

the woman in charge since I was a kid.

Uh-oh. You gonna try to poach her?

Well, Clay took my artists. Why not take his head of P.R.?

Savage.

Hmm.

- Uh-oh. Let me take this real quick. - Ahem. Yeah.

Hello?

Saved by the ringtone.

"Business-wise and not sex"?

That's smooth.

She probably just thought I was being funny, so...

Yeah. Nobody thinks that.

You're a lotta things, Jordan, but funny's not one of them.

Whoa, OK, hold on. Funny is my main thing, OK?

Layla, if I was on a dating app,

that'd be the first thing in my bio, in bold... flashing.

So you'd start a new relationship based on a lie.

That is sad and definitely not funny.

Whatever, Keating.

I'm hilarious, OK?

Look, even with both my eyes closed

and one joke tied behind my back, hmm?

You just proved my point.

- Patience. - Yeah?

Real quick, right here. I'm funny, right?

Mmm. What? She's funny.

OK. All right.

Uh, I'm looking for the wunderkind coach of the Rays.

Student coach.

Ah. Right.

Mmm.

Student, right. Explains why you're still here.

They haven't taught you to leave when the season's over.

Um, I'm a slow learner.

Your coach doesn't think so.

What's he having you do?

Exit interviews and workout routines for the freshmen.

Ooh. A bowl win and new coach duties.

You're a pretty big deal.

Yeah.

Your man has some serious responsibility now.

And with great responsibility comes great power.

Uh, I... think that's the other way around.

Oh. Yeah, you're right.

I don't... I don't have any power.

But if I impress Coach Montes,

it'll go a long way to making me an actual coach someday, so...

Well, I'm impressed. Does that do anything for you?

Yeah, it does.

Mmm.

Mmm.

- I just need the team to be impressed, too. - Mm-hmm.

I need these guys to take me seriously, you know?

Yeah.

Speaking of, JJ should be here by now.

Mmm.

Ah.

Yo. Did you get my text?

Uh...

I don't even know where my phone is. What's up?

You missed your exit interview.

All right, relax, man.

We're roommates. We can do the interview whenever.

Just not now 'cause my head is killing me.

I spent an hour coming up with a workout routine for you.

How do you think it makes me look when my own roommate blows me off?

I didn't blow you off. I forgot.

Big difference.

Look, it's not just the interview, JJ.

You haven't been to the gym since the season ended.

It's called off-season for a reason, big guy.

They gave you a scholarship that you didn't even need, JJ.

At least pretend that it matters to you.

- Spence... Spence knows what I'm talking about. - What?

He's worked out every day since his season ended,

- sometimes twice a day. - Well, he should.

They lost their bowl game. We won ours.

Well, I wouldn't know. They don't air pointless games.

OK, I'm gonna forget that you said that,

but help me out, please?

Tell JJ that the season ending does not give him

- an endless pass to party. - All right, well, tell Asher

that life moves pretty fast.

You don't stop to look around once in a while,

you could miss it.

That's Ferris Bueller.

I think JJ's got the right idea.

A party sounds great.

Where we going?

I've dreamed

about this moment for so, so, so long.

And now that Spencer is single

and looking to smash, I don't think I have the words.

I guess I should start by thanking Olivia for being so tough to date.

It is not that deep, all right? It's just a night out with my boys.

It is that deep, Spence.

"Little Mermaid,"

"Under The Sea" deep.

All my boys are single again.

I'm still with Jaymee. You saw her yesterday.

I'm talking about my boys who haven't forgotten how to have fun.

I'm just trying to look out for you.

And I'm just trying to get my party on.

And I'm just trying to not listen to y'all argue

like an old married couple. How 'bout this?

Asher promises to have fun tonight

if JJ promises to hit the gym tomorrow morning.

Thank you. Where are we going?

Where else?

You being single is my golden key to the golden door

of Golden Angeles University...

- Stop saying golden. - Where the parties never stop,

the beer trickles down like wine, and the women...

- Do not know you. - Boom.

Problem is, you don't know any girls at GAU,

- so we have to do some on-campus recon. - Hold on.

I know girls at GAU.

- Olivia doesn't count. - Neither do your professors.

I know one girl at GAU.

Hmm.

_

- Hey, Layla. - Hey.

- Good to see you again. - Yeah.

I'm so sorry, but Laurie has to cancel.

- She literally just called. - I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Feel like she still sees me as JP's baby girl with the pigtails.

I'm sure that's not true.

You started your own label right outta high school.

Yeah, she called me "Little Layla" 3 times

in our 2-minute conversation, even used a cute baby voice.

Don't take it personally. She still calls me "I.G."

- Mmm? - "Intern Gia."

It's been 5 years, but at least she doesn't use the baby voice.

"Little Layla" and "Intern Gia"...

you know, I guess some people don't leave room for growth.

- Yeah. - I'll try when she's got more time.

She's probably swamped with all your new clients.

Hmm. The only thing Laurie's swamped with is spin class.

Pretend I didn't say that.

I'm just... a little under it right now.

You know, it sounds like you could use a night out.

Yeah.

Come on. That's funny.

What's funny?

Me.

Since when?

- What do you want, Olivia? - OK.

I need to talk to you about your friend Isaiah, OK?

I'm pretty sure Coach Garrett put Isaiah

in the game to hurt Chomps Taylor.

Really, Liv?

Isaiah beat up Chomps?

Are you that desperate for a story?

Garrett's players have a history

of hurting guys on the other team to win games.

There's proof; I mean, circumstantial proof, but...

Were you... were you even watching the game? We didn't win.

Yeah, but Chomps going down gave you a chance.

I mean, he was destroying you all game before Isaiah took him out.

Well, Isaiah protected me by blocking a much bigger guy, OK?

He isn't used to throwing blocks like that,

so he hit Chomps a little low,

and he got penalized for it, end of story.

It is nowhere near the end, OK? Look,

I'm trying to do the right thing here, OK?

I blindsided you with the Wade stuff last semester.

I didn't want to blindside you again.

Thank you so much for the heads-up, but you're wrong, OK?

Yeah, well, everyone thought I was wrong about Wade, too.

Isaiah is not Wade, OK? Isaiah is a good friend

who busted his ass all season to earn a spot.

- What reason would he even have to do it? - To please Garrett.

I mean, who knows what that predator offered him?

- Listen... - No, no.

Isaiah didn't do it, OK? You're wrong. Let it go.

Something's up.

Feel like every girl on campus is staring at me.

You're a GAU celebrity.

They were always staring at you.

You're just finally seeing college through single eyes.

Welcome to my world.

- Well, you're wrong, OK? - Whatever.

- What was that about? - Nothing. Just...

just Liv being Liv, right?

Look, I'd... I'd dump her, too, if I could

but my DNA won't let me, right?

Listen, I gotta take care of something. I'll see you guys tonight.

- Yeah. - Amazing. Excuse me.

You gotta talk to Olivia.

I swear, me and your mama raised y'all with manners.

She won't leave my football team alone, OK?

I... I get the whole Wade thing, but now...

Now she's exaggerating this Isaiah thing.

I even had to lie to Spencer about it. It needs to stop.

She shouldn't have told you.

- What, you know? - Your sister and I have been looking

into Coach Garrett for a while now.

We didn't want to worry you until we had the full story.

There is no story, OK?

You guys don't know Isaiah like I do, all right?

He wouldn't hurt someone on purpose.

That hit was no accident.

- You should watch the tape. - I don't need to watch the tape,

OK? I was there.

An injury ended your career, Dad, right?

Do I really need to remind you that

- injuries happen all the time in football? - They do,

but they seem to happen more to the players that go up against Garrett.

Look, I know this is hard for you to process, son,

but you need to trust me.

Hey. You're home early. How'd the meeting go?

Uh, it didn't. She canceled.

Uh, but I invited her assistant Gia out tonight.

Think you'll like her. She's a fan of yours.

OK, so is this your way of saying that I'm going out tonight?

OK, got you.

So is this a "keep your enemies closer" sorta thing?

I just thought she could use a night out.

Just saying, and plus, you know,

it couldn't hurt to have someone on the inside,

- like a spy. - Suppose it couldn't.

I'm just sayin'.

You sure you want to marry a dude

that has me doing all the heavy lifting?

- D'Angelo is busy. - Oh, yeah, busy.

Don't be taking your frustrations out on my man.

So cat's out the bag on Coach Garrett, huh?

Oh, yeah.

I really wish Liv hadn't said anything to Jordan.

Now it's just a matter of time before

Spencer and everybody knows. Why won't she just listen to me?

She's a smart, strong-willed woman,

just like you raised her to be.

- Oh, well. - And she's stubborn.

- Got that from you, too. - Well,

I just wish she'd think things through

before she burns down the house.

You sure she hasn't?

Look, I mean, she's going through a lot right now.

Spencer saw that, and so he gave her the space

so she can handle it.

Maybe you ought to do that, too.

Hmm. How is Spencer?

He's pretty upset,

and to be honest, so am I.

I think they were good for each other.

Me, too, and they were.

Well, if it's meant to be, they'll find their way back, right?

Kinda like you and d'Angelo.

- You think you're funny. - I am funny.

- That's debatable. - That was funny. You can laugh.

- That's OK. - No, it's not funny. Shut up.

If it isn't GAU's most eligible bachelor.

And the second he breaks up with his girl, he calls me.

I feel like I'm about to get the final rose.

A'ight, look,

this ain't "The Bachelor," and there ain't no roses,

especially not between friends.

Will you tell your friend not every girl is into him?

- Lie to him? No way. - Yeah.

- I appreciate you. - Both of y'all are a mess.

Anyway, I took care of you.

My business sorority friends are throwing a party tonight.

- Oh, that's what's up. - Uh, no.

That is definitely not what's up. That would be a negative.

Oh, the subtraction button for you business types.

I mean, how desperate do you think we are?

Based on Spencer's Yard Yack post, very.

I'm sorry. What post?

_

"Smashtour"?

I... I didn't have time to make shirts, but trust me.

That post... it's gonna drive the ladies crazy.

"Smashtour"?

♪ I'm the best that you know ♪

♪ And I play on my own ♪

♪ Stay in Gucci head to toe, get my way ♪

♪ Or it don't go, I'm the best that you know ♪

- This is a business sorority? - I'm changing majors.

How do you already have a drink? We just walked in.

It's a party.

- About time you got here. - What's up?

What do you think?

Well, you know, the way JJ described it,

I was expecting S.A.T. prep class and hard seltzers.

I know it doesn't look like it tonight,

but business is one of the hardest majors at GAU,

so they're always looking to blow off steam.

Oh, I am definitely changing majors.

- She said "steam," JJ. - I heard what I heard.

Let me introduce you to everyone.

Hey, everyone, Spencer James is in the house,

and in case y'all missed Yard Yack,

he's single.

Whoo!

Ah.

Tonight is gonna be epic.

We'll be telling our kids about it.

You know, I love you, JJ,

but you ain't never getting near my kids, man.

I mean, it's pretty much a boy's club since Clay took over.

I'm surprised he hasn't put a hot tub in the lobby.

- Oh, give it time. - Forget the hot tub.

- We don't even have a lobby. - Thank you, Patience.

Uh, Formonica Records is still growing.

I'd rather have a small studio

with one talented artist than a lobby full of idiots.

I have more than one artist.

Right. Yeah.

I'm sure Layla's already told you,

but I am a huge fan of yours.

She did, she did,

but, you know, you could still keep talking about it.

- My memory sucks, so... - Well, I snuck out of work

to see you on tour, and you didn't disappoint.

My ex is on a tour.

A smashtour.

Uh, they... they just broke up.

Mmm.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that,

but if he used the word "smash,"

- you might be better off without him. - Maybe.

Hey, thanks again for letting me crash tonight.

- I really needed to get out. - Yeah.

Do you work with Layla and Patience?

Nope. Thanks to my ex,

my brother, and my dad, I now do nothing.

OK, that's not true.

Olivia is a ridiculously talented journalist

- and she has her own podcast. - What is with you ladies?

Powerhouses before 20.

No, stop.

I mean, you can keep going on, about me.

- About you? OK, uh, - Yeah.

- well, I loved the video for "Shining." - Yeah?

Yeah, but I gotta say,

you're even prettier in person.

OK, you know what?

You are officially my new best friend.

Bestie, what's up?

♪ I'm so sexy, oh, I'm so sexy ♪

♪ I'm so sexy, oh, I'm so sexy ♪

Wow.

This statue of Spencer looks so realistic.

You know, it looks a little bit shorter than him in real life, though.

Uglier, too. What's up, man?

- What's up? - Ah.

All these fine women in here, and y'all

standing here talking to each other?

- I'm glad you made it. - What, you thought I was gonna talk you

into spittin' game and not stay for the fallout?

I think I need to be, uh,

- watching Davita instead. - Yeah.

Huh. Let's all watch Davita.

I guess she wasn't kidding when she said I'm not her type.

- Hey! - Mm-mmm.

- OK, no. Nope. - What?

No, I didn't come all the way here to watch you

hook up with some Liv-alike.

- She does not look like Liv. - Yeah, she does.

OK, give Spence a break.

He's just a little rusty. Here's what you do.

Talk to the next girl you see.

As soon as she shows interest, leave.

Make her find you.

- I call it the hide 'N' seek. - Right,

or you just be funny, Spence.

Girls love a guy with a great sense of humor.

- How would you know? - Ooh.

There's also "the swoop."

That's when you let your friends do all the work,

and you swoop in and take the girl at the end of the night.

Wait, I actually think that's called "the Spencer."

Ha. Right.

You see? I'm funny.

- You get it? - Because you stole my joke.

You all acting like I don't know how to pick up girls.

Y'all must be forgetting, I am Spencer James.

- Whoa! - Whoo!

- Oh, ho ho! Spencer James. - OK, then.

He posts about her, and just like that,

What a surprise,

Coach Asher talking football.

I thought you were gonna try to have fun.

- Talking football is fun. - That's all he cares about lately.

Interviews, workouts, drills.

Blah!

I'm just trying to make sure my best friend

Nothing wrong with someone looking out for you.

Yes.

Cheers.

OK, and that's a bad thing?

Spence, not every single hookup has to lead to marriage.

My moms used to say

you can tell a person that the stove is hot and some will listen,

but others won't learn till they touch it and get burned.

- Who would touch a burning stove? - Little kids,

drunk people at a barbecue, JJ.

Hey, point is, some people can't be helped.

They just gotta learn for themselves.

Yo, thanks again for the invite.

I gotta take some business classes.

Yeah, save me a seat, huh?

I can't believe tomorrow's our last team workout.

I can't believe that my final play of the season

- was that pathetic pass. - Don't beat yourself up.

Chomps did enough of that already.

He did, but, uh, you put a stop to that.

Listen, did... did you mean to hit him like that?

You mean, was I trying to block him?

Yeah, that was the assignment.

Right, right, but I mean, did someone

send you in there to hurt him?

I mean, you went straight into his knee with your helmet, man.

I was told to block for Spencer and protect you,

but I wasn't trying to hurt nobody.

Did Garrett tell you to throw that pathetic pass or was it a mistake?

Damn, girl. Come on up for air.

- You been hiding from me? - Why, you been looking?

Maybe.

I've been thinking about what you said earlier.

- That I'm Spencer James? - Yeah.

Whoo!

So I'm guessing no workout tomorrow.

I'm working out right now!

Yo, let's go!

Whoo!

Aah!

Whoo!

Oh!

What? What? You disappointed in me, Coach?

Just done.

Wait. That's it?

No exit interview?

No speech?

- Now, I'm disappointed. - Yeah?

Welcome to the club, JJ.

Look, I'm officially resigning as your coach.

Do whatever the hell you want to do.

Go see how many pot brownies you can shove into your mouth

because I'm done caring.

There's pot brownies?

Talk to me about Patience's look

in her "Music Can Save Us" video.

She's got the, like, bohemian, girl-next-door vibe.

- It's worked well for her. - Yes,

but the girl next door can only go so far.

It's time for her to move out of the neighborhood, see the world.

Do you want to be the girl next door,

or the badass woman sailing away

on her multi-million-dollar yacht?

- Mmm. I get seasick. - Well, they... they have pills for that.

So how do we get her on the yacht?

She's in between albums;

It's a great time to reinvent herself, show people she's grown.

Well, what's wrong with the way I am now?

I want people to look at Patience

and see the glamorous, beautiful star that I see.

You just replaced my new best friend,

which was already you, so...

- Yeah, I like that. - Good.

Oh, my God. Seriously?

You're gonna change who you are just 'cause some stranger told you to?

- It's not what she's saying, Liv. - It's exactly what she's saying.

Patience, if you want advice from someone

who's known you longer than a few hours,

I say don't change for anyone.

Stay true to yourself, and if people don't like it,

they can screw themselves,

or each other.

I mentioned she's... she just went through a breakup.

Yeah, and it's pretty... it's pretty new.

- Right. - Yeah.

- Very fresh. - Very fresh, yeah.

Why'd you leave the party early?

I missed you.

It's JJ. Yo.

_

Is everything OK?

JJ got busted by campus security and needs a ride home.

Well, so much for impromptu Q.T.

- Come on. Let's go get him. - No, no, I am not going to get him.

The walk home can be his workout.

What the hell is wrong with you man, huh?

You got a sexy-ass girl waiting on you

and what, you in here? You better get it together.

Get it together.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know how we do it.

OK. You got it. Yeah. Yeah.

Hmm.

Yep. Yep. Yep, that's good.

Whoo!

You have way too many clothes on, Spencer James.

Yeah, about that,

listen, my bad, but I can't do this.

It was a mistake bringing you back here.

Wait. You're serious?

I can give you a ride home

or call you an Uber or something.

Don't bother.

I'll get my own ride.

Neasha, I'm sorry.

Hi, you've reached Olivia. Please leave a message.

You're not Asher.

He didn't want to come and I can't say I blame him.

I get it.

Coach Asher

sent his assistant to scold me.

You tell your boyfriend

it's off-season.

Asher doesn't even know I'm picking you up.

He wanted you to walk home, which can still happen.

All he's doing

is sucking up to Coach Mr. Montes.

He doesn't care about me.

No matter what he says, we both know he cares about you,

so at least try and pull it together.

I should have let him walk home.

You talk to Olivia?

'Cause I'm kind of worried about her after last night.

Yeah, she's feeling better. Um...

She, um,

she wanted me to apologize to Gia for her.

Mmm... well, that girl is dope.

We should hang out with her more often.

I agree. She's actually coming in this morning.

- Oh, cool. - Mm-hmm.

You know what? Um, yeah, I was thinking that

maybe we shouldn't use her as a spy

- 'cause, yeah, I don't want to get her fired. - Yeah.

I never said I wanted a spy.

Patience, say hello to the new

- head of P.R. at Formonica Records. - No.

Wait, seriously? You're gonna work here?

I hope so.

There's no way they'd let me back at Keating Records now,

not the way I quit.

- I won't let you down. - I know you won't,

and Laurie may not have appreciated your talents,

but I will, and they won't go to waste here.

- Thank you. - OK, so last night

- was an interview for Gia? - Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

Well, I wanted you to be yourself,

and plus, I couldn't hire her as my head of P.R.

without seeing how she handled my favorite artist.

Speaking of, I threw together a little something

based on our talk last night.

- Ooh. - Oh, my God.

What?

I don't even recognize myself. I love it.

You're officially my new best friend.

- Oh, yay! - Aw.

- Thank you. - Glad you like it.

- OK, go back, go back. - OK.

_

Business cards with my name on them.

OK, that's funny.

- There he is. - What's up?

Hey.

♪ Now I've finally tasted freedom ♪

What'd you get into last night?

Nothing.

I sent her home.

I ain't never kicked a girl outta my bed before.

All right, well, don't be too hard on yourself. At least you tried.

Yeah? Bro, I had a fine girl up in my room,

and all I could think about was my ex?

What I had with Liv was special, man.

Maybe I'm just not ready to be back in the game, you know?

Maybe you're one of those unicorns

that has to get to know the girl first.

But the important thing is is that you're putting yourself out there, right?

Maybe just try asking a girl out on a date.

Maybe I'll give Neasha one more try,

like a lunch or a hike or something, you know?

- Yeah. - I like to hike.

- Don't hit send. - What?

Ah.

So I'll see you.

I guess she did find her own ride.

I cannot believe JJ swooped me.

Hey, sweetie. I'm glad you're here. I, um...

- I wanted to talk to you. - Look... me first.

I brought the Garrett story to you,

not the other way around, so,

we will handle it together

because I am not about to sit on my hands

while my dad arranges his ducks, right?

'Cause that's not who I am,

and I am not gonna change to make you or anyone else happy.

OK, I don't want you to change.

- I'm not finished. - Now... OK.

It's also not OK for you to treat Jordan

like an adult and then treat me...

his way more mature twin sister... like a child.

I agree. I was actually gonna tell you the...

The same, exact thing. I had a little speech

prepared, but then you came in instead, you...

Well, should we... do you want me to still tell you what I...

- Maybe the quick version. - OK.

- Mm-hmm. - Uh...

- You're an adult... - Mm-hmm.

And I should treat you like one,

- and I'm sorry. - And what about the story?

You take the lead,

- and I'm here for help. - Thank you.

There are those manners I was telling you about.

You're welcome.

All right.

Nice, nice.

- What's up, Spence? - What's up, G.?

What was that all about?

- Nothing. - All right, listen up!

Bring it in!

You been having a lot of arguments about nothing lately, bro.

First Olivia, now Isaiah?

I know everyone's still reeling from that tough loss,

so I wanted to share some good news.

I always say if you want the reward,

you got to do the work,

and nobody took that more to heart this season than Isaiah Winfield.

It's my honor to award you a full athletic scholarship

for your hard work and team dedication

on and off the field. Congratulations, son.

Thank you, Coach, thank you.

All right, now I know for a fact something ain't right.

No more "nothings," J. You better start talking,

now.
