Original subtitles

SPENCER: Previously on "All American"...

KENNY: It's been a few days since the "L.A. Tribune Online"

dropped an article about our school's bountygate scandal.

REPORTER #2: What does this mean for the future of GAU's program?

KENNY: From what I'm hearing, one-year Bowl ban.

Which means you and me gonna have to rebuild this thing from scratch.

- You know that, right? - We're not following Garrett's legacy.

We are building our own with a coach that we've chosen.

ASHER: Jaymee, you are the only person

that I want it to be complicated with.

- JAYMEE: I'm pregnant. - PATIENCE: You're Miko, right?

LAYLA: There's something seriously wrong with Miko.

You have to stay away from her.

You know I'm your number-one fan.

LAYLA: Miko is the kind of person you cut off for good.

That was a rep from the cultural exchange program.

I've been accepted. It's a 3-month internship,

and it's in London.

JORDAN: You need to tell the people that you love

how you feel before it's too late.

Olivia!

- I love you. - I love you.

- 3 months. - 3 months.

- _ - CHORUS: ♪ Oh, oh, oh, ooh ee ♪

WOMAN: A 7-6 record this past season for the Condors,

with a hell of a run on the back half of the season

that made everyone else look like trash,

and the name on the tip of everyone's tongue...

Spencer Alonso James.

Finished sophomore season with 96 catches

for 1,379 yards, 16 touchdowns.

The only thing that kept the Condors out of the Bowl

was the team's one-year ban, a tough price to pay

for their previous coach's scandal.

But the past has nothing to do with today

and this new, unconventional GAU team.

So what do you say to the chatter that you

and the GAU Condors are the team that has everyone nervous

this coming season?

Well?

Uh, what do I say? I say chatter away.

We worked hard and we ready.

Spencer, only 4 wide receivers have ever won the Heisman,

and now, as a junior, your name is being thrown around.

Between that and all the talk about you

being draft-eligible this year, how does the hype feel?

Uh, I'm not really paying attention to all that.

I'm just focused on this upcoming season and

excited to compete again.

Coach Kenny, is this just a one-year winning team?

What happens if and when your star wide receiver

- enters the draft this year? - We're excited for what's ahead,

but this, what we're building at GAU,

is a program that's here to stay.

SPENCER: Yeah, and at the heart of that

are foundational players like our QB, Jordan Baker.

Yo, J! J! Come here.

Y'all should talk to him.

RENATA: Thanks, but I think we got more than enough today.

KENNY: Sure.

- Thanks for taking the time, Coach. - KENNY: Course, course.

And, Jordan, I look forward to chatting with you more next time.

Yeah.

Or at all.

[SIGHS]

ASHER, FRENCH ACCENT: Voilà .

Banana a la Adams.*

[NORMAL VOICE] Admit it, buddy, my breakfast is way better

- than Mommy's, huh? - JAYMEE: I heard that.

Have you seen my other shoe or my bag?

How am I supposed to organize my new boss' desk

if I can't even organize my life? Hi, baby.

- ASHER: Wow, you look, uh... - If you say corporate

or boring or, like, I'm a freaking hundred years old,

- you'd be correct. - I was gonna say beautiful,

but now that you mention it, that outfit is, uh...

- Stop! - Baby. [CHUCKLES] I'm sorry.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

I know it's your first day on this new job, but you got this.

But AJ's just used to me dropping him off at daycare, and

now I'm abandoning him and my creative soul

for some corporate desk.

There is no abandonment of souls or babies.

I've got AJ handled,

and breakfast is going great.

Drop-off will go great. Everything is gonna be...

[CHUCKLING] Great.

- PLAYER 1: Every day. - PLAYER 2: I'll let you go.

- SPENCER: Good work. - KENNY: Spencer.

[CHUCKLES] You know, the way everyone's been acting,

you'd think that Spencer spent all last season

throwing passes to himself.

Thought you'd be used to it by now, homes.

To the world, he's MJ and we're the Jackson 5.

You're Tito. [CHUCKLING]

That's not funny.

You expect me to believe that was you

- at your best today? - SPENCER: My bad.

Look, having media out there during practice is a lot, man.

You sure that's it?

Your distraction had nothing to do with a certain girlfriend

- returning from London? - SPENCER: Ah. [CHUCKLES]

- What's it been? - A year and 3 months,

which is why I'm throwing her an epic welcome-home party.

[CHUCKLES] A'ight. Look, as your unc,

I'm happy for you, man.

I know you missed Olivia.

But as my coach?

I'm hoping your distraction today isn't a sign of things to come.

You changed this last year, Spencer, for the better.

You matured on and off the field.

No distractions or drama.

- I'd hate to see you regress. - I won't.

There's a lot riding on this year, not just for the team,

- but for your career. - I understand,

and I'm locked in, Coach, I am.

Football is the priority.

Giving her the perfect welcome home is the priority.

Hey, hey. I need you to focus, OK?

I know you ain't talkin' to me in that tone of voice.

- LAYLA: Stressed much, Spencer? - SPENCER: Nobody stressed.

I just want everything to be perfect, and I won't relax until it is.

PATIENCE: Where do you want all these, bridezilla?

SPENCER: Just split 'em up between the vases.

Spread 'em out... evenly, though!

- Please. - PATIENCE: Yeah.

COOP: I don't know why you're doing the welcome party

with all of us here anyway.

You ain't seen your girl in a year.

Wouldn't the perfect reunion be a more private one?

- Can you mind your business? - Happily!

But you roped all of us here to help you.

PATIENCE: Spencer, aren't these flowers gonna die

before she gets back Saturday morning?

LAYLA: Oh, didn't think that one through, huh?

SPENCER: Oh, my bad. I was just trying to make sure everybody was

at your lounge opening tomorrow night, but you're right.

We can skip that and spend tomorrow night setting up for Liv's party.

Just kidding. Just kidding. You know, I think

setting up two days in advance is great.

Guys, I am actually opening a lounge.

Like, it's finally real. It's so crazy!

I still can't believe Slauson Cafe is gone.

Hey, it's not gone, OK? It's just reimagined.

OK, fine, but at least it's in the family now,

'cause the other buyer was gonna turn it into a hot yoga spot.

PATIENCE: OK, well, whatever, as long as y'all don't miss

my big comeback on Layla's stage.

You know, it's my first, um,

public performance since...

OK, well, my first big re-entry to the music scene.

No, we wouldn't miss it.

We're proud of you. Both of you.

- PATIENCE: Thank you. - LAYLA: Thanks.

Oh. Hold up.

WOMAN ON TV: No doubt about it.

This is a chain-of-custody mess-up by the LAPD

and a shocking blow to the D.A.'s case.

Unauthorized personnel handled the footage.

OK, so the original doorbell-camera footage

that placed Miko Scott at the scene

of Patience Robinson's stabbing has been thrown out.

What does this mean for the case?

LEGAL ANALYST: Remember, Miko Scott has been in jail,

awaiting trial this whole time.

Bail was initially denied,

but now that her defense has got the footage thrown out,

first thing I would do if I were her lawyer...

They gon' let this bitch out.

Is file for another bail hearing.

JOURNALIST: Any possibility they throw the whole case out now?

No. There's still a case.

They have the eyewitness testimony of Patience herself,

but effectively, this just became a she said, she said case,

so expect the defense to focus

on a character assassination of Patience.

That might be all it takes

to create reasonable doubt and have Miko acquitted.

I trust your judgment, Ryan. We don't both need

Actually, as, uh, partners in this venture,

that's exactly what we're supposed to do.

Hey... you good?

Yeah, just a lot on my mind with the opening.

Uh, I still don't see any shakers.

- Could you check the back again? - RYAN: Egusi dumplings.

- Hmm? - Ah, you have to.

OK. Ahem.

See? I told you.

Remind me to give our chef a raise.

Let's get this club up and running first

and make some money before we start giving it all away, you know?

LAYLA: I know, Ryan.

May not have opened my own club before,

but I run my own label,

and I'm a hell of a businesswoman,

so trust I understand fiscal responsibility.

Whoa. Easy, Layla. That was just a joke.

Sorry, sorry. I shouldn't have snapped.

[CHUCKLES] Just clearly, me and the stress

of club openings don't mix.

Sure that's all it is?

Yesterday, you were on cloud 9 and now...

LAYLA: Yeah, it's nothing. I just really need everything

- to go well tomorrow. - This is my 12th opening,

all of which are still in business, so...

trust me. It's gonna go great.

Uh, you know, I should...

I should actually check the inventory in the back.

[SIGHS]

LAURA: Wow, Spencer. This looks incredible.

- COOP: Uh, he had help. - SPENCER: Yeah, barely.

Well, you both did a good job.

- COOP: Uh, did you see the news about Miko? - [LAURA SIGHS]

Yes, I did, and I already put a call in to the D.A.

to see what I can find out from him off the record.

- COOP: She cannot get acquitted, Ms. Baker. - I know.

We won't let it happen.

I gotta get ready for my lecture.

I'll see you on campus, Coop.

I can't believe I'm gonna see my baby again.

I can't wait to hug her.

SPENCER: Do you want to pick her up from the airport

yourself on Saturday?

Oh, you're sweet, Spencer, but I got to see her for Easter.

You two have your moment.

Or you could come with me.

Yeah, Olivia would love me intruding on her romantic reunion.

I'll wait.

But thank you.

[FOOTSTEPS ASCEND STAIRS]

- SPENCER: What? - COOP: You tell me.

I mean, first the group party, now you're trying

to convince her moms to come with you to the airport?

Why are you trying so hard to not be alone with Liv?

Whatever. I just know I ain't the only one who lost a year with her.

And for someone who is majoring in psychology,

- you having a problem reading yourself. - OK, Freud,

what about you?

Why are you avoiding telling Patience you want her back?

When would I have had time to do that, Spence?

When I found her bleeding out on the floor?

Or on the way in the ambulance, or... no...

during the 6 months she spent in New York rehabbing?

- How 'bout now? - Have you not seen the news?

I mean, Patience is still going through a lot.

She does not need the burden of my feelings.

I think you shortchanging you and her.

The same way you shortchanging Liv?

At least I know why I'm doing it.

Do you?

COACH MR. MONTES: It's not bad, huh?

- [CHUCKLES] Yeah. It's great. - Just "great"?

Adams, we're reigning champions.

No, it's... it's amazing.

I'm just surprised. I didn't expect to get a ring.

- I'm a student coach. - No.

You're much more than that, which is why

I'm bumping your title to offensive assistant.

- [CHUCKLES] - Look, I get it.

You know, when you dreamt of this moment,

you saw yourself receiving your ring as a player,

- not a coach. - Either way, I'm grateful.

- Good. - Been a hell of a year, huh?

One hell of a year, papa Adams.

- [CHUCKLES] - I got to say, you know, I thought...

I thought you'd be a little more beat-up and...

- and sleep-deprived. - No. No, no, no. I'm good.

We're good. We got this...

Parenting thing down.

Good, 'cause parenthood looks great on you.

- Thank you, sir. - And I bet that ring would, too.

Oh... OK. I mean... [CHUCKLES]

- COACH MR. MONTES: That's what I'm talking about. - [CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

- Oh, sorry. It's the daycare. One second. - Yeah, no worries.

Hello?

Yes, yes, this is him.

Well, what do you mean, slight?

OK. Uh, yeah. No problem. Thank you. I'm on my way.

Daycare says AJ's running a fever and... and has a runny nose.

- OK. - I'm sorry, I have to... Yeah.

Don't forget your stuff.

LAYLA: Are you sure you're OK?

- PATIENCE: Yeah, I'm OK. - Girl, you ain't really said nothing

since that nonsense on the news this morning.

LAYLA: And, you know, we get that it's a lot,

so it is totally OK if you're not OK.

Oh, my God! Y'all are worse than parents.

I am fine, beyond fine. Happy?

God. Ryan, can you help me out here a little bit?

RYAN: She's fine.

- PATIENCE: Thanks. - COOP: Look, you could tell us the truth.

PATIENCE: The truth is I'm sure I'm OK,

and I'm damn sure I want you both to stop asking about it.

RYAN: OK, uh, look, why don't we take a 5-minute break, huh?

PATIENCE: No, no! I need a sound check.

Look, am I pissed our security-camera footage got thrown out? Yes.

But I am alive to tell what that bitch did to me,

and best believe I will.

Just hate that her lawyers are already on the attack.

I am not deluded. I know the trial won't be easy,

but I did not spend the last year rehabbing, both mentally

and physically, just to crumble when it matters the most.

Miko will go to prison, so can we just wrap this up

so I don't sound like crap tomorrow night?

KENNY, VOICE-OVER: You changed this last year, Spencer.

I'd hate to see you regress.

[SNIFFS, CLEARS THROAT]

[SIGHS]

OLIVIA, VOICE-OVER: I can't believe I'm starting our letter

with "I'm sorry," but saying anything else before that seems futile,

and I know this may be hard to believe, but...

I don't think I truly made the decision

until the words were out of my mouth that day.

♪ My room, the studio, the smoke shop on 6th... ♪

- [KISSING] - OLIVIA: Honestly, you being here with me,

FREX: ♪ Memories sent to me like postcards... ♪

OK.

- [SIGHS] OK. You were right. I love London. - [CHUCKLES]

We've been here 3 days

- and you've barely left my bed. - SPENCER: Exactly.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

- It really is the best, though. - SPENCER: Mm-hmm.

- I mean, the history, the culture... - The rain?

OK, fine, I don't love that part.

But the rest of it, I...

I dunno.

I... I like me here

and how I feel.

It's like the world's at my fingertips.

You know, if we don't get you out of this bed soon and pack you up,

you not gon' have anything for this flight tomorrow.

[GRUNTS]

Liv?

Hey... what's up?

Spencer, I don't think I can leave yet.

What are you saying?

I think I need to stay.

I checked, and I can...

Extend my exchange program.

Spencer, I like what I'm discovering about me here...

And I don't think I'm done exploring that yet.

OLIVIA, VOICE-OVER: You being there with me gave me the strength

to make a decision I'd been too scared to make.

Thank you for supporting me,

even though I could see it was hurting you.

I love you, Spencer.

It's only one year,

and I promise,

nothing's going to change.

SPENCER: I was unconsciously avoiding being alone with her, but

Coop was kinda right.

A year is a long time. [SIGHS]

Damn, we were stupid for promising each other

that nothing was gon' change when the one constant in life is change,

you know what I'm saying?

Of course you do. Good talk, bruh.

Good morning, AJ! How you feeling?

- Feeling all right? Yeah. - Fever's gone.

Good as new. Hey, where'd you disappear to after practice yesterday?

Nowhere. Just had to take care of some stuff at the registrar's.

- That's it. - OK. You want to roll together

- to this meeting with Coach? - Can't.

Gotta go, uh, meet up with Layla, talk wedding stuff, so...

Y'all's wedding's two years out.

- You gotta talk that today? - JORDAN: Uh-huh.

- Morning. - ASHER: J. Morning. Hey.

- SPENCER: Hey. - Thanks for hanging with lil man

- while I finished getting ready. - Oh, yeah, no worries, man.

That's my dude. Jaymee still asleep?

- ASHER: Yeah. - JAYMEE: No.

I have been trying to find someone

to cover my boss's desk today so I can stay home

'cause AJ can't go back to daycare for another 24 hours.

- Didn't you start that job yesterday? - She did, exactly, which is why,

babe, you should go to work. We got AJ.

SPENCER: Uh, actually, I got a early meeting

with Coach and then practice, so, sorry.

It's fine. I'll call in sick today.

What about your advanced bio placement test later?

Yeah.

ASHER: My dad. He's always itching for more time with AJ.

He's off work by 5 P.M., so, OK?

- JAYMEE: OK. - ASHER: Done and done.

- ASHER: Now go get your cute butt to work. - JAYMEE: [LAUGHS] OK.

There's the winning trio.

- President Gutenberg. - I keep telling you,

Dr. Gutenberg is fine. My boys,

you have made a football fan out of me this year.

More importantly, the boosters are happy.

- JORDAN: Which makes you happy. - DR. GUTENBERG: Exactly.

And, Coach, if you have a second,

those boosters have some thoughts.

Unfortunately, I have practice with my guys,

but I'll circle back around later if there's time.

Not a problem.

Whenever you're free.

You know, the boosters would enjoy

some quality time with you, too, Spencer.

There's a lot riding on you this season.

We need to get that chip,

so we can clear Garrett's legacy once and for all,

so, whatever you need to clear distractions

so that you can just focus on football,

- you let me know. - SPENCER: Yes, sir.

JORDAN: Look, Spence,

contrary to what the media and the boosters are saying,

this is not all on your head, OK?

The whole team is gonna lead us to the chip.

It ain't that.

At least it ain't just that.

Are you nervous about Liv coming back?

Oh, you trying to talk now?

'Cause this morning, you ain't had nothing to say.

OK, OK, look, I was being stupid about something

I don't even think matters anymore,

but I'm here if you want to chop it up, or not.

Up to you.

[SPENCER SIGHS]

I'm happy Liv's finally coming home.

- I am. - I didn't say you weren't happy.

- I said you were nervous. - SPENCER: I didn't realise I was.

You know, this last year is the most relaxed I've been?

With the Bowl ban, there was no expectations for a chip,

and with Liv back in London...

There was no expectations for your relationship.

We ain't even played our first game yet.

Liv's not even home yet, and I'm already back to stressing.

- And brooding and sulking. - Yeah, OK, OK. Chill.

We got back together a year and 3 months ago.

I've seen her one time for 3 days.

We haven't even had a chance to talk about

what was gonna be different about our relationship

- this second time around. - Well, what do you want to be different?

What can you handle?

Spence, the football pressure is what it is, OK?

This is a critical year, but for the Liv part,

I suggest that you figure out those answers

before she gets home tomorrow.

The rest will fall into place.

COACH MR. MONTES: Being the reigning champions

isn't gonna mean anything to us at the beginning of the season.

Well, losing JJ to Tibet or wherever is a big blow.

Yeah, not to mention that GAU's now a contender.

- [AJ CRYING] - COACH MR. MONTES: Asher.

You paying attention?

ASHER: Yes, sir, GAU is added competition this season.

- COACH MR. MONTES: Yeah. - Look, I'm sorry, guys.

I didn't want to miss the meeting.

Relax, son. We've all been there.

First time my wife left me alone with our oldest son,

I found a poop-covered chicken drumette in his toy bin.

[CHUCKLES] Apparently, he had been using it

- to scratch his itchy butt. - COACH RED: [LAUGHS]

That ain't nothing.

Wait until he projectile-vomits so bad,

you just burn your clothes and call it a day.

COACH TREY: Has AJ done the explosive poop up the back yet?

- ASHER: Whoa, explosive poop? - COACH MR. MONTES: All right!

That's enough. Unless all your kids are the answer

to our offensive needs, can we please get back to our...

what is that horrific smell?

It's not me.

Oh. Right. Um...

We spoke it into existence. [LAUGHS]

[COACHES RED AND TREY LAUGHING]

RYAN: You want to tell me why I suddenly have new invoices

for extra security guards for tonight?

LAYLA: Uh, because I ordered more.

And did you also order 3 additional, very expensive cameras?

Ryan, we are partners, OK? Equal partners.

That means I don't answer to you.

I get to know how and why we're spending my money.

I was wondering how long it'd take you to throw that weight around.

Come on. That's not what I meant.

I know this area better than you, OK?

So if I want extra security, that's my prerogative.

Feel free to pull your money at any time.

- Uh, what was that about? - I was hoping you could tell me.

Something's going on with your fiancée

beyond just stressing about the opening.

- Something like what? - I don't know,

but I think it has something to do with Patience.

[DOOR OPENS DOWNSTAIRS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Patience?

Coop?

[GASPS] Oh, my...

- Liv? - Well, that is quite the welcome.

- Hey, you're home! - [LAUGHS]

You're finally home!

Oh, you're finally home!

- OLIVIA: Hey. - [BOTH CHUCKLE]

Yeah, your mom's changed the locks a couple times

since the whole, um, Miko incident.

- Yeah. How's Patience doing? - She's definitely

handling things better than the rest of us.

- Yeah. - But she's gonna be so excited

- to see you. You're a day early! - OLIVIA: Well, yeah.

I mean, there was no way I was gonna miss your big night,

you know, and plus, I wanted to surprise Spencer.

Well, will it help if I say that he's nervous, too?

Nerves? [CHUCKLES]

Who said anything about nerves?

OK, you may look different, Liv, but I still know my best friend.

- I mean, a year is a long time. - Yeah, but, like,

you guys stayed in touch.

You had your old-school love letters.

Yeah, I dunno, but then,

you know, we got busy, and suddenly, there were...

No visits,

less calls, less FaceTimes.

I dunno.

I'm not the same Olivia who left here.

You know, what if things with Spencer

- feel different? - [FRONT DOOR OPENS]

Hey, baby girl, I just wanted to make sure that you...

[DOOR CLOSES] What?

- [OLIVIA LAUGHS] - JORDAN: What? Oh!

[LAUGHS] Damn!

I missed your ugly face!

Yeah, I missed yours more.

LAYLA: Uh, I have to get to the lounge and make sure

- everything's perfect for Patience, so... - JORDAN: What?

- Right now? - LAYLA: Yeah. Um,

you two should take some time to catch up.

I'll see you there, OK? Oh, I'm glad you're back.

- OLIVIA: I love you. - LAYLA: Oh, see ya.

- JORDAN: Baby... - LAYLA: Sorry.

- OLIVIA: Tibet? You're kidding! - JORDAN: Dead serious.

JJ is living his best life on this soul-searching mission.

We're all taking bets to see how long

before he officially becomes a monk.

[SCOFFS] Never. He's not shaving that hair.

Oh, oh, and I have officially become the funcle, OK?

AJ and I have this ongoing competition

to see who can burp the loudest?

The kid is a badass.

OLIVIA: Jaymee must be thrilled with you.

Right... oh, wow!

That's quite a dress. Very British.

It's just a dress, Jordan. It doesn't have a nationality.

OK, if you say so.

I mean, that dress is all but speaking with an accent.

[BRITISH ACCENT] Ello, govnah! More tea for you?

[NORMAL VOICE] Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

Well, you seem really happy.

I am. I mean,

GAU football is back on the map, I am...

I'm marrying the most amazing woman when I graduate,

and over the last year, I think I've finally gotten to a place

where I can think about Dad and not feel my gut plunge.

The only thing missing was my twin, and now,

you are home, so, yeah, I'm happy.

Yeah, well... ahem...

happy works for you.

I got to admit, though, for just a second there, I kinda forgot

how great things have been going in my life.

I got a little jealous of the attention that Spencer's been getting.

I know, but...

[SIGHS]... After seeing the toll it's been taking on Spencer,

I realised I don't want that increased pressure.

Right now, I just get to play the game I love

with a team that I love and, hopefully,

lead them to a chip,

and that is more than enough for me.

- Oh. - What?

Just did you get smart while I was gone or...

Ha ha. Ha ha. You definitely didn't get funnier

- while you were gone. - OLIVIA: Eh.

Ooh, does Spencer know you're here yet?

I'm gonna...

- Surprise him at the club. - Oh!

COACH MR. MONTES: Adams!

Coach...

I know that I totally blew it earlier today,

but I promise you that I am not making a habit out of this.

I just have to find Professor Hampton and bow out

of my placement test, AJ and I are outta here.

But don't you need that placement test

- to get into advanced bio? - ASHER: Well, I... I mean, I do, but,

you know, my dad got stuck at work,

and I don't have anyone else to watch AJ, so, you know, it's fine.

Sacrifice... it's what parenthood is about, right?

COACH MR. MONTES: Gimme.

Give me the baby and the carrier.

- Sir, I don't... I... - Go take your test, Adams.

I'm completely capable of taking care of your baby

for the next couple of hours.

Need I remind you I raised a daughter of my own,

one I believe you dated when you were back in high school?

You know, all this time, I was hoping

that you hadn't made that connection.

Give me the baby before I change my mind.

Aw, see Mr. Montes?

Here you go.

Come on, sweetie.

- [KISS] - Hola, mijito.

Oh, my goodness. You are so handsome.

[COOING]

I know. That's what I think.

You like matcha? You a matcha man?

- Just like your papi? - [CHUCKLES]

THE WHALES: ♪ Watch me shine on 'em, baby ♪

- OLIVIA: Thank you. - JORDAN: For you.

- You must be so proud of Layla. - I am.

She's amazing.

Um. Hold up.

Who was that?

That is Ryan, a young, app-creating gazillionaire

who is Layla's business partner in the lounge.

You mean young and hot.

Layla conveniently left that part out, yeah?

Take it easy. Fiancé's standing right here.

THE WHALES: ♪ I'm so precious... ♪

Oh, damn! OK, Layla.

COOP: Yo, she kept it real Crenshaw in here.

I ain't gonna lie. I was a little bit afraid

that it was gonna feel like Beverly Hills

threw up all over my favourite spot, you feel me?

Uh, Spence, hello?

- SPENCER: Is this for real? - OLIVIA: Hi.

- SPENCER: Hi. - [OLIVIA CHUCKLES]

- Wait, wait, wait. When did you... - I wanted to surprise you.

Oh, you... you definitely did.

- I mean, the hair and you... - I know, it's...

it's different,

so I guess, yeah, two surprises.

- Yeah. - RYAN: I'm sorry. Uh, are you Liv?

SPENCER: Bruh, are you serious right now?

My bad, but Layla needs you in the green room.

Something about, uh, Patience's zipper.

Um, yeah. OK, for sure.

Do your thing. I'm good.

JORDAN: What's your take on that dude?

Right now, I hate him. Ask me again tomorrow.

Why? Is there some kinda problem?

Ah, well, he said there was something going on with Layla,

like she was freaking out about Patience

- or for Patience 'cause of Miko. - SPENCER: And what'd Layla say?

Well, I haven't had a chance to ask.

And if Ryan is wrong, I didn't want to...

didn't want to blow up her night for nothing.

I mean, I'm sure she's fine, right?

Like, he has to be wrong. Like, she's my fiancée.

She would have told me if something was going on.

And that's assuming she's conscious of it, bruh.

I mean, she could be doing exactly what I did,

obsessing about tonight

to escape what's really underneath.

- JORDAN: Yeah, maybe. - DJ: Patience zeros,

- are you ready? - [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Well, I'll ask her afterwards. I mean,

Patience is about to hit the stage, so...

LAYLA: Wow. Um, thank you all so much

for coming out tonight as we officially welcome you to Layla's.

[CROWD CHEERING]

I know why we're all so excited to be here tonight,

so I won't keep you waiting any longer.

It's been a minute since this next artist has been back onstage,

and she wanted to share this special moment

with you all, her loyal fans, so please join me

in welcoming back not only my award-winning artist,

but my friend and Crenshaw's very own, Patience.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

[CHEERING AND SHOUTING CONTINUES]

We love you, Patience!

Uh... she good?

MIKO, VOICE-OVER: You know I'm your number-one fan, since day one.

[ECHOING]

Somebody get the DJ to play her track or something.

MIKO, VOICE-OVER: Day one. [ECHOING]

MAN: She just walked off the stage.

ASHER: Yo. Guys, what's going on? Did I miss Patience?

She couldn't do it. She freaked in front of everyone and bailed.

And I knew something was off. I knew it.

SPENCER: Why are you out here and not checking on her?

Because Layla and Liv got it.

Bro, you seen her face on that stage.

She does not want to be crowded right now.

We're screwed. We have about two minutes

before we lose the entire crowd and blow the night.

I know Miko wasn't really there. I...

clearly, my mind is just... my mind is just messing with me right now.

It's OK. Your fans love you and they'll understand.

I actually thought I was OK! Whatever. I...

this was stupid that I'd think I could even do this.

No. Hey, you are not stupid.

You're just... you weren't ready,

and I'm so sorry I rushed you back into performing.

Can I... can I help? I'll... I'll take you home.

No, just... just stay. Um...

6 Can you take me home? 6 OLIVIA: Yeah. Of course.

PATIENCE: Thanks.

[DISTANT CROWD CHEERING AND WHISTLING]

Hey... you OK?

- This is all my fault. - Come on.

- There's no way that you could have known... - No, Patience's stabbing

and everything she's going through... I...

I realised when I was listening to the news yesterday that...

[SNIFFLES]... I did this.

I pushed Patience to this, like,

new, stupid version of herself

that Miko became obsessed with, and then...

and then I served Miko with a restraining order,

even after Patience asked me to... to take it easy on her,

- so I pushed her over the edge. - No, no,

- Miko was already over the edge. - And that's why I...

I just... I needed to make tonight perfect because...

[CRYING]... That's, like, the least that I owed Patience.

- Layla, this... - No.

Listen to me. This is not your fault.

No, and Patience blames me, too. I know she does.

- No, there is no way she blames you. - Really?

So why did she disappear to New York as soon as she could?

And why did she...

why did she insist Liv drive her home and not me?

- [DOOR CLOSES] - SPENCER: What's up?

- How's Patience? - OLIVIA: Better, I think.

- She's in the shower. - SPENCER: Good.

I'm assuming all of this was you?

- Yeah. - It's gorgeous.

- Thank you. - [SPENCER CHUCKLES]

- I'm sorry I ruined your surprise. - [CHUCKLING] Naw.

Naw.

Your surprise was better.

- Why does this feel weird? - I know, right?

Well, um...

We can leave it be, you know, pretend it's not happening, or...

- Or cards on the table. - OLIVIA: I vote for cards.

I'm a big fan of cards.

I was scared to see you.

I was scared our year apart was gonna change us.

It definitely changed me,

and I was naive to think that it wouldn't.

I didn't understand that I still didn't know

who Olivia Baker was on her own until...

I started living in a city...

Where that's all that I was...

Just Olivia Baker,

on my own for the first time...

no vortex, safety net,

no family ties.

That's why I needed to stay.

And as I got to know her,

I fell in love with her.

I can't speak for you...

But for me,

I'm sure of one thing that old me

and new me share...

And that's my love for you.

That was clear the minute I saw you tonight.

Olivia Baker.

It's nice to meet the new you.

You know, first time around with us,

we went from zero to "fake married" in two seconds.

[CHUCKLES]

But this time, I want to take our time.

I can't wait to get to know you

every inch of the new you,

it's my love for you.

- JAYMEE: Hey. - COOP: What's up?

- SPENCER: Hey, boy. - ASHER: Hey.

Wait. What is this?

Just a good old-fashioned vortex sleepover.

PATIENCE: What, for me?

OK, you guys don't have to do this. I'm... I'm fine.

LAURA: I know, and we want to make sure that you stay that way.

- [CELLPHONE VIBRATES] - And, sweetie, just so you know,

- _ - it was Layla that rallied

the troops together tonight.

She wanted to make sure that you felt surrounded by love.

Wait. Where is she?

- You know, we have staff to do this. - LAYLA: Hey, um,

I'm sorry tonight didn't go as planned.

- Ah, came together eventually. - Yeah.

Come on, take off. I got it covered. I'll close up.

Thanks, but I can't ditch you on opening night.

Besides, I don't really have anywhere else to be.

I'm trying to give Patience space.

You sure she wants it?

Hey, why aren't you at the house?

Why aren't you? And before you lie,

you should know that I already spoke to Jordan.

Good to know his big mouth

- is one thing that'll never change. - [CHUCKLES]

Look, I want you to hear me.

The only person responsible for what happened to me

is Miko, period.

I left to rehab in New York because I was running from L.A.,

not from you, and I left with Liv tonight because

I didn't want you to sacrifice your big night by

leaving to take care of me like you always do,

'cause I already... I ruined enough.

You didn't ruin anything.

OK, I'll receive that,

if you receive what I'm saying,

'cause there's a pair of matching onesies

at home with our names on them.

I don't want a sleepover without you.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

SINGER: ♪ Hey, I just want you to listen to my story, story ♪

What you did for Patience tonight was beautiful.

I'm sure it wasn't easy for you to be up onstage again.

Does she know...

That you love her?

I'd almost talked myself into telling her tonight after her...

Big comeback, but I'm glad I didn't.

And look, I know I didn't get a chance to say it

tonight at the club, but I'm glad you're home.

Was it something I said?

I'm just not sure...

Home feels like home anymore.

You know, if Spencer wasn't here, I...

I don't know that I would have come back.

So what happens if

Spencer drafts in 8 months and he's not here anymore?

SPENCER: I have a mandatory dinner

with some key boosters on Monday at 7:00.

[SIGHS] This is why I am glad I am not you.

[CHUCKLES]

From your relaxed look,

I am guessing you figured out what you want on the Liv front, though?

To build a life with her,

whichever multiverse version of her will have me.

JORDAN: Mm-hmm. Good for you, Spence.

But if I enter the draft this year, everything changes...

[CHUCKLING] Stop, stop.

You're slipping into moody Spencer, OK?

Hang on to relaxed Spencer. Live in the now.

- [INHALING AND EXHALING RAPIDLY] - All right, all right. All right.

[SIGHS]

Anything can happen in 8 months.

Hmm.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

It's a little late for a surprise drive-by, isn't it?

Well, if you had taken time earlier today,

it wouldn't be a surprise, so, Kenny, meet Ter...

Terence "Mac" McClelland,

renowned offensive coordinator for Hummel State,

GAU star alum.

- What's up? - MAC: Ah, formerly of Hummel State

and a big fan.

- It's a pleasure to meet you. - Likewise.

Mac will be joining the coaching staff.

I mean, just as an analyst.

I know you like to call your own plays.

Well, I'll give you both a minute to talk.

Well, he could have handled that better.

Just know I understand this is your team.

I'm only here to help you win more games

and maximize your best asset.

I already know how to maximize Spencer.

Yeah, see, that's your problem right there.

I was referring to Jordan Baker.

PATIENCE: You know, I thought I had to, like,

run away and heal alone, but, um,

thank you, guys, for proving me wrong.

I love y'all.

ASHER: Yeah, Patience. We love you, too.

If you don't figure out how to whisper,

I can tell you someone who's not gonna love you.

PATIENCE, GIGGLING: OK, sorry.
