♪
Hey, babe. I'm sorry I missed you.
For the record, I hate scouting trips,
if I didn't say that
enough before you left.
But, um, don't worry. I am
holding it down with Khalil.
Kinda.
I just feel like with you here,
he felt more comfortable, and
now he's kind of just, like,
treating the house
like a museum, you know?
Like, he's almost too
respectful. I don't know.
Getting him to connect with
me has been tough, but
[INHALES] I'm gonna figure it out.
Like, OK, you know
how normally he's gone
by the time you wake up? Well, today,
I am up an hour earlier than usual
to make him our famous
blueberry pancakes.
I mean, how could I not win
him over with those, right?
[CHUCKLES]
Unless wait. What if
he doesn't like pancakes?
You know what? It's gonna be fine.
I am I'm gonna figure it out.
OK. I love you. Bye.
SINGER: Oh, take it easy, baby ♪
LEILA: OK
SINGER: Oh, take it easy ♪
What is that delicious smell?
- SINGER: Take it easy ♪
- Khalil, did you do all this?
My bad, Mrs. LB.
I hope you don't mind. I just
wanted to show my appreciation.
Khalil, this is so sweet.
You did not have to do this.
I mean, I didn't even know we had bacon.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Um, well, I hope you'll join me.
Nah, uh, actually, I gotta go.
I told Amina I'd pick her up.
SINGER: Take take take take ♪
- [DOOR OPENS]
- COOP: Yo! What's happening?
Are those breakfast
burritos from Corner Cottage?
I know that line was long as hell.
Oh, special occasion calls for
a special breakfast burrito,
Madam President.
OK, stop. I don't even
know if I'm gonna win.
Oh, you gonna win,
and you gonna see today
when they make the
announcement. Not to mention,
you're nominated for Homecoming Queen.
So, yes, you deserve
these 45-minutes-in-line
- burritos.
- Thank you.
[WRAPPER RUSTLING]
Hold up. I know you
did not wait 45 minutes
and come clear across
town to bring me breakfast
when Auntie Patience is still in town.
- Just saying.
- I'ma let that slide, OK,
as long as you promise me to text
as soon as you hear the
presidential election results.
- Comprende?
- Ma'am, yes, ma'am.
My girl.
[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
Ooh, sorry. Gonna have
to take this to go.
Khalil's picking me up.
This is becoming a pattern, ain't it?
I have a boyfriend, Auntie Coop.
No, I get that by the way
he keep picking you up.
No. Not Khalil. KJ.
Hold up. KJ? Who the hell is KJ?
- My boyfriend.
- And there's not another dude in this town
that you attracted to whose
name don't start with a "K"?
- OK, whatever.
- Seriously,
does your dad know you got a boyfriend?
Nooo and can we keep it that way?
- Pretty please?
- All right.
Fine. So, KJ is your boyfriend,
yet Khalil is picking you up.
- Yeah.
- Wh
Love you. Bye!
Y'all kids is messy.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
All right. I got everything planned out.
OK, tonight we're ordering Frontier Wok
and binging the "Batmans,"
starting with Keaton, of course.
And then tomorrow morning,
we're hiking Runyon
- before we grab
- Hold up. Runyon?
You mean with the influencers
and the little purse dogs?
What? It's a bye week.
We have tonight and
the rest of the weekend
to fill when we're not at practice.
I know how to fill up my own weekend.
KJ, how about you let me be the adult
and take care of myself, OK?
Like you said, it's a bye week.
Go. Be young. Turn up.
That's not a request,
man. It's an order.
I just don't think you should
be alone this particular weekend.
Look, I'll be fine, I promise.
- Go on, get.
- A'ight.
♪
Yeah, what? You got a new house cleaner?
Man, I ain't seen the house
sparkle like this ever.
Well, if by house cleaner you mean
our new roomie Khalil, then, yeah.
Whoa. Easy there, Miss Hannigan.
No, not like that.
Jordan and I have been
trying to get him to,
you know, settle in and relax,
but he's out here trying to win the
"Roommate of the Year" award. So
Did he make those?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
You ain't even gonna offer
me a pancake or nothing?
I know you had breakfast already.
- How?
- I texted Amina
and told her good luck
with the election results,
and she told me about
your special delivery.
Well, today is her big day,
and breakfast is the
most important meal.
So, today you drove to the
Valley and then South L.A.,
and now here you are in Beverly Hills.
I mean, that's 2 hours
of your life in traffic
you're never gonna get back. So
Nah, it wasn't bad.
Besides, I had to
catch up on my podcasts.
While avoiding Patience.
Have you taken my advice and
talked about the
disconnect between you two?
Yes, OK, but we both been busy,
and Patience wanted to spend
some time with her family
and I had this big torts exam.
- LAYLA: Right.
- [CELL PHONE BEEPS]
No way. That's crazy!
- We got it!
- Got what?
Patience and I landed
our dream apartment.
The one in downtown L.A.?
Yes, and we've been on the
waitlist for over a year.
Come on. This has to be a sign.
- Um
- See?
Who is avoiding who?
OK? We about to sign a lease together.
Mm-hmm.
[CLASS BELL RINGS]
AMINA: A little birdie told me
you made breakfast this morning.
I didn't know you cook.
[CHUCKLES] I was just trying
to show love to Coach JB
and the missus for taking me in.
Still not sure I deserve it, though.
This whole situation with my
pops being locked up is a lot.
Yeah, but they wouldn't
have made the space for you
if they thought you
didn't deserve to be there.
MACY: Amina! You ready
for the results, girl?
- OK, look, I'm nervous.
- Don't be.
You got this, Meen.
MACY: As much as it
pains me to say it
I agree with Khalil.
P.A. ANNOUNCER: We have the
results of your Stu-Co election.
Your new president is
Amina Simms!
[BOTH SCREAM]
AMINA: I can't believe I did it!
Girl, between this and your
Homecoming Queen nomination,
we got to celebrate.
As much as it pains me to say this
Macy's right. You should go celebrate.
Yo, I'm proud of you, Meen.
Thank you.
OK!
Khalil's smile was definitely giving.
You have to throw a party.
How else are we gonna
make you and him happen?
Hmm.
Girl, you like Khalil.
So it's time to act.
Stu-Co President Baddie
needs a first man.
I don't know.
Ma'am, you got yourself a fake boyfriend
to make this boy jealous,
but you're not willing to throw a party?
Well, when you put it that way
OK. I'm in.
COOP: Is there any
other boxes in the back?
Nope. Just the one which
I told you I could handle.
Yeah, but I had to
give you a ride anyway,
so it was no big deal.
Yeah. Weird how my keys
just poof! disappeared.
Are you implying that I hid your keys?
I'm implying that you're
about to sign a new lease,
and yet you are avoiding the person
you will be signing the lease with.
Hey, Coop, have you and Patience
even talked about your issues?
And isn't she about to
leave for the West End?
Not for another 3 months.
AMINA: Hey, guys.
Oh! What's up, Madam President?
Congratulations, President Simms!
Thank you, TeeTees.
LAYLA: So how are you celebrating?
Bowling? The pier? Ooh, rage room.
No. Remind me to never let
you plan my celebration.
Anyway, where is the party at?
OK, so, uh, funny you
should bring up a party,
'cause I was gonna throw one,
but my place is too small for even that,
so I was hoping
Oh, cute, cute, but no.
There's no way in hell I'm
letting a letting a bunch of,
uh, you know, underage
kids party in the lounge.
Right.
But the, um the
Baker house is available.
Oh, my God. Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, you're the best. Wait!
Thank you. Thank you.
- OK, I have to go get ready.
- LAYLA: OK. All right.
What? It'll be fine.
We're gonna chaperone.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Huh!
Look at that. Patience just
texted asking what I'm doing.
Amazing. You know, timing has the
cutest sense of humour sometimes.
- I know what you're doing.
- Huh?
No, I mean, the only thing I'm doing is
I'm going home and setting
up for Amina's party.
And since you and Patience are fine,
I'll just let her know
she should come and help.
Right? Unless you
have, like, plans or
- No. I mean, let's get it.
- Perfect.
Hey, Oakland.
You ready for a long, dark knight?
- Get it?
- [CHUCKLING]
Uh, actually, change of plans.
My dad gave me the weekend off.
Oh! Does it mean you're
free to hang out tonight?
Yes and no.
See, Amina she won Stu-Co President,
and she's having a
kick back to celebrate.
- You want to go?
- Yeah. Going to a party
to celebrate your fake girlfriend's
real achievement sounds so fun.
I'm just showing Amina some love.
Friendship is important
to you, isn't it?
Yeah. It's important to make time
for the people who make time for you.
So was that a yes you coming
to the party with me, or
GRAYSON: Did someone say par-tay?
Oh, count us in, bro.
It's a party.
[LAUGHING]
[TEXT TONE]
Patience.
- Hey, Patience.
- What?
LAYLA: I was just asking
if you're excited about
signing the new lease.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course.
I mean, we've been waiting for so long.
Hmm.
But isn't it weird,
babe, that we haven't,
you know, seen each other in a few days
and now we're just
about to sign a lease?
No. I mean, we waited a long
time to have our own spot,
and it is finally here.
So I'd say things are
falling into place.
- Right. Yeah, falling into place.
- [COMPUTER TONE]
- COOP: Crap!
- LAYLA: What? What's wrong?
PATIENCE: Babe, you got a
"B" on your exam. That's
that's dope! I love that.
Or we don't love that?
COOP: No. I am a "A"
student now, all right?
And I made the Dean's list.
I can't be getting no "B" s.
And Breonna knows damn
well that I aced this exam.
- Breonna?
- Yes, Professor Strong.
I just didn't know you were on a
first-name basis with your professor.
I gotta go check on
this grade situation,
but we will meet up
later to sign the lease.
SINGER: I remember
sleeping on the floor ♪
It was too cold ♪
Now we up one I'm bout
to score, Toni Kukoc ♪
I remember when I ♪
Damn, girl. Who raised you?
Go on get your feet off
these people's furniture.
Girl! Khalil's been nonstop
cleaning since we got here.
I don't think I've seen a speck of dust.
It's probably just his way of
coping with his dad being locked up.
We just need to
We just need to get him to relax.
I think I can help with that.
[SONG CONTINUES]
- MACY: Mm!
- AMINA: Why would you bring
LAYLA: Hey! Um, you know you can, like,
- turn up the music, right?
- Yeah. Thanks. We will soon.
PATIENCE: Oh, my God, our
parties weren't this lame
- in high school, right?
- Patience
- No, that's
- Um
And you can invite more
friends if you want.
Yeah, like a lot more.
- AMINA: OK.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
Hey. Everything OK?
Oh. Uh, no. No need. I
will be right there. OK.
I gotta deal with something
at the lounge. Are you OK to
PATIENCE: Girl, these boring-ass kids
It's light work. Take your time.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
So, Patience
- Yes?
- I caught a slime tutorial
of your hit Broadway
show "Run, Don't Walk."
I'm sorry. "Slime
tutorial"? What is that?
- Like a bootleg recording.
- OK. And?
And you totally ate!
Do you have time to talk about it?
I mean, I got time to talk if
you got time to listen, 'cause,
whoo, let me tell you,
I got some problems. OK?
Take my hand.
OK. Are you sure?
PATIENCE: Oh, my God, a lot happened.
OK, so tell me if you
think this is weird. Um
Hey. OK, OK. Enough cleaning.
Time to have some fun while
Macy distracts Patience.
Hell, nah. You see how hard I'm working
trying to keep things from
getting messy around here.
Hey! It's only messy
if the adults find out.
And right now, the adult is busy.
SINGER: Like that, let's go, ow! ♪
We bout to go at it again ♪
Sometimes you've gotta
detour from the plan ♪
Loosen up, turn the music up ♪
Can't stop, won't stop
what you don't understand ♪
Well, well, well.
The hopeful dreamer has returned.
And you are just in time to join.
So, what are we having, Boss Lady?
Well, we have had a few already, I see.
Look, as much as I would love
to partake in the day drinking,
drown our sorrows, whatever this is,
I I have to be an adult.
So, you know, why don't
you finish your whiskey
and I'll I'll give you a ride home.
Uh this is my first
anniversary post-separation.
And I think my marriage might be over.
One drink it is.
♪
Oh, Khalil.
How do I get the Bakers
to let me move in?
Like, could a brother
get a air mattress?
- [LAUGHING]
- LIL RON: Golly.
No. One water ring isn't gonna
bring the house down, Khalil.
Come on, chill.
[PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
You know, we didn't get to finish
our conversation this morning
about why you think you
don't deserve to stay here.
I'm not trying to get
into all that right now.
Hey, what if I wanted some?
Girl, you can't handle no yak.
Hmm. OK.
I can handle a lot more than you think.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Oh, that's probably KJ.
I should probably get the door.
What's up with your boyfriend
always hanging with that cheerleader?
- Oh, they're just friends.
- Mmm.
And, like, don't even
get me started on the lack
of respect the local media
shows Beverly football.
I mean, you even know
how well we've been doing?
- Um, no.
- Exactly.
How would you? They never publicise it.
And this has to do
with your marriage how?
Uh, nothing. Actually, everything.
I, um I screwed up our
marriage with my issues,
and I still want to fix
it. I just don't know how.
And if Ava would just
meet you in the middle,
you wouldn't be here,
you know, plastered
to this chair, tipsy
Hey, men don't get tipsy.
- Pouring your heart out to a stranger.
- I thought we were friends.
More like good acquaintances.
I'll take that.
[WOMAN SINGING INDISTINCTLY]
You know, I haven't heard from her
since she came down for KJ's game.
Truthfully, if if I was
her, I'd keep my distance, too.
Sounds like you're putting
a lot of blame on yourself.
That's 'cause a lot of
the blame falls on me.
Ava is patient, smart, beautiful, funny.
- I mention she's patient?
- Mm-hmm.
But me, you know, my drive to win,
to prove my worth, to be the
absolute best at all times,
no matter who's in my
way, that can be a lot.
You know, just just ask Ava.
I thought you said that duty
is what cost you your marriage.
Oh, so you do remember our
conversation from that first day.
Pockets of our conversation.
Yeah.
- [CELL PHONE BUZZES]
- Sorry.
It's my phone.
ADT notifications.
I'm kind of loaning my
house out for a little party.
So, every time someone arrives
at the door, I get a buzz.
I was hoping it was my
phone with a text from Ava.
I sent her flowers
this morning. Peonies.
Her favorite.
I send them every year
for our anniversary,
and it didn't feel right to stop now.
They're probably in the trash.
Or, you know, in the
spirit of hopefulness,
maybe she just hasn't received them yet.
Do you know if she has social media?
Because I have it on good authority
that women love posting flowers.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Thanks.
COOP: I just don't understand
how I could have gotten a "B."
Honestly, I was just as shocked as you,
but your arguments
were all over the place.
So, you tell me why you got a "B."
I don't know. I have
been a little distracted.
- Plus my girl is back in town.
- Got it.
Regardless, you know you
have to prioritise school.
I know I do. It's just that
we signing a lease on a new place,
and things have already been distant.
You know what? Doesn't matter.
I will figure my life out,
and I will do better on the
exam if I could retake it.
Please.
You know, I was engaged once.
We were having our own problems.
We felt like if we got engaged,
it would fix everything.
It didn't.
It turns out it was
really just a bandage
over way bigger issues.
So, you saying the lease is my bandage?
You tell me. Or better yet,
why don't you have a real
conversation with Patience.
And say what?
I'm still trying to figure
out what's going on with me.
So how can I tell her?
OK, fair.
When I'm stuck, I take
my problems to court.
So, why don't we try that?
We'll put your relationship
on trial and see what happens.
And what? I'm the
prosecutor and the defender?
And the judge and the jury.
Sometimes you have to
see things from all angles
to get the clarity you need.
Bet. I'm game.
PATIENCE: And did I mention how
she just sprung this lease on me?
- Uh-huh.
- Technically,
we talked about it over a year ago,
when we put our name on the list.
But still, we should have, like,
a conversation about it first.
Like, a lot has changed since New York.
- That's a good idea.
- What's a good idea?
Talking to your girlfriend about this
or, like, any actual adult.
Even Amina thinks it's a good idea.
Right, Amina?
Shouldn't your Auntie
Patience go talk to
- her girlfriend about this?
- Um, yeah, yeah.
I think you should go talk
to Auntie Coop about this,
like right now.
You're right. I should talk to Coop.
- MACY: Totally. Communication is key.
- Yep. Without a doubt.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
OK.
OK. Is everything fine
here? Like, you're not
- not gonna get in trouble, right?
- This is me, Auntie Patience.
Not exactly the poster
child for trouble.
- OK. All right. Love you.
- Love you, too.
- Bye. I'm gonna go.
- Yeah.
So glad she didn't ask me.
- Trouble is my middle name!
- I know that.
KJ: You are a hard woman to pin down.
Sorry, I been in my host
bag, but I'm glad you're here.
Also, um, it's starting to
look a little weird to Khalil
that you're always with
Tori and not your girlfriend.
Look, Tori and I are just friends.
I know, but, you know,
impressions and everything.
Ah. Got it.
OK. I will just make sure that
Khalil gets the right impression.
SINGER: I can't lose myself to none ♪
I'll make it if I run ♪
On my way to finding love ♪
Hey! My bad.
Congrats on your Stu-Co win, Amina.
- Thanks.
- Uh, listen, don't take this the wrong way.
But, um, can I change the playlist?
What's wrong with my playlist?
It's just a little too
"chill vibes" and not
"let's get this party
started" vibes, you know?
- Be my guest.
- Amazing. Let's go.
Oh, OK.
[CLAPS HANDS ONCE] OK.
SINGER: Yeah ♪
Yeah, oh, yeah ♪
Bold of you showing
up to your girl's party
with another chick on your arm.
Hey, whatever, bro. You don't
know what you talking about.
So you tellin' me I don't
know what I been seeing.
You know, if you so worried about
Amina's feelings getting hurt,
I'm not the one you
need to be talking to.
- Who should I be talking to then?
- KJ: Yo.
GRAYSON: Hey! Oh, what up, Crenshaw?
Welcome to Beverly Hills.
- This you?

Music is kind of my

MAN: Whoo!
All right, all right. Grab
a drink and gather round.
What are you doing?
You know the game Truth or Dare?
We're not middle schoolers.

Beverly really gets down.
All right.

- Yeah!
Let's go.
[CHEERING, MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY]

Appreciate you, bro.

Amina, this is getting out of control.
Someone's gonna get busted,

Amina, I'm serious.
- Khalil wants to go next.
- No, I don't.
Come on, dawg. You ain't
done nothing fun all night.
One dare, Khalil, please?
MACY: Khalil, I dare you to kiss
the shortest girl with tongue.
CROWD: Ohh
[SNICKERS] Don't mind me a shawty.
Hold up. Amina's the
shortest girl here. I

Or are you too shy
because you're a virgin?
- CROWD: Ohh!
- Khalil, catch!
CROWD: Ohh!
LIL RON: Dayum, right in
front of her mans, too.
Yo, Tori, I dare you to
do Seven Minutes of Heaven
with the hottest football player here.
CROWD: Ooh
[LAUGHTER]
[SNICKERS] What? You said hottest.
[LAUGHTER]
MAN: What's so funny? What?
I'm not seeing anything.
- Oh, tagged photos. Check her tagged
- Tagged photos.
- She just posted.
- Oh, great!
And she is out having fun.
[SADLY] Great.
I mean, is she even
wearing her wedding ring?
Oh yeah, I can't tell. Sorry.
But I'm still holding out hope.
- Better than me.
- And I didn't forget
you dodging my duty question,
how that spun your marriage on its axis.
Oh, fulfilling my duty has
a lot to do with my dad,
- if I'm being honest.
- Something I can totally relate to.
He made me play football growing up,
even though it was
never really my thing.
But he was adamant about
me creating my own legacy.
So you became a coach even though
football isn't really your thing?
No, no, uh,
I became a coach
because KJ loves football
and I love being a coach.
I know what it's like to grow
up with an overbearing father
who never really made
the game fun for me.
I didn't want that for my son.
You know,
being a coach is
it's my calling.
And not just for KJ, but for
every one of those players
that comes through my
program. Look, I love
being a conduit for these kids achieving
- their dream, you know?
- Yeah.
Um, yeah. That's what, um, Jordan
is trying to do with
Khalil, and me, too.
You know, I just don't know
if we're doing a good job.
It's hard to gauge if what we're doing
- is actually helping.
- Just give him time.
You know, keep letting him
know that you'll be there
to support him whenever he needs it.
- LAYLA: Yeah.
- [PHONE BUZZING REPEATEDLY]
You want to check that?
Yeah, I I probably should.
Whoa. OK.
Looks like I missed a few more alerts.
Great. Text complaint from
the neighbour about the party.
Sounds like your little
party ain't so little no more.
Looks like half of L.A.
showed up, including, um
Well, in all fairness, I
did tell him to go be young
- and turn up, so
- I should go break this up.
Mind if I tag along since
my kid is contributing
- to the mayhem?
- LAYLA: Sure.
And just so you know, I did
leave an adult in charge,
just maybe the wrong one.
[MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE]
So
So?
You brought me up here?
Yeah, no. I don't do double rejection.
And last time I had you in a room
Nope. I'm good.
I just wanted to hang out with you.
Oh, you you like hanging out with me?
Oh, my God. Don't be annoying about it.
We've had lunch together
almost every day this week.
I listened to all the
playlists you sent me,
and I even watched that weird
old French movie you said you love.
Wait, you really
watched that whole movie?
- I do,
but I gave it a try for you.
I guess you could say
I made time for you.
[LAUGHS]
You're pretty awesome,
and I've kind of been
taking that for granted.
Maybe a little,
- but it's OK.
- Nah, it's not.
And I'm sorry, because
I appreciate you
and your friendship.
Yeah.
Friendship.

Next to you ♪
Baby, when I'm next to you ♪
Oh ♪
I like the way you apologise.
Ahh ♪
That's all that matters ♪
Ahh ♪

COOP: Oh, counterpoint.
All of our friends have
found their soul mates
and are happily boo'd up forever.
Why not me and Patience?
Honey, don't tell me that
your strongest argument
is that you don't want to be
left out of your friend group.
No. It's all the years
we put in together.
I mean, after so much time spent,
you'd say you're
pretty committed, right?
Off the record, your past with Patience
has you in a literal chokehold.
Every argument you've
made has come back to that.
That's because our past
is a beautiful mess,
but it made us who we are today.
I would not be crushing it the
way I am in my life right now
- without Patience.
- So, then one final question.
Do you still see a future with her
in the same way that you used to?
I would argue that two people
who may have grown apart
should reconsider if there's
a future really there or
just a past.
PATIENCE: Wow.
That is the realest thing
you've said since I've came back.
Patience, h-how long
you been standing there?
Long enough to hear you do all
the talking for the both of us.
[LOUD MUSIC CONTINUES]
GRAYSON: Yo, KJ and Tori been
up there for a hot minute.
I'd be sweating if I were you.
How about you shut up and
make me a drink over here?
SINGER: Yo ♪
He's right, though.
Boy's being crazy
disrespectful right now.
- I'm about to go up to
- No, no!
I got it.
SINGER: She will adore ♪
Any haters in my
view, I know they ♪
Rolling with me, call it déjà vu ♪
Ah! Oh, my God.
Amina, wait! Amina!
Honey, you good?
Hey, what happened?
Hey, yo, you serious right now?
- You cheatin' on Amina?
- Yo, dawg. This has nothing to do with you.
This is between me and Amina.
I warned you. You mess with her,
there's gonna be a problem.
- What's up?
- What's up, then?
Um, excuse me. Are you
really gonna let this go down?
How far are you gonna let this lie go?
- KJ: Hey, Tori.
- KHALIL: Lie?
What are you talking about, a lie?
Amina, what's going on?
[DOOR LATCH CLICKS]
Hey, whoa! Party's over.
CASSIUS: So, this is
what it means to be young
and turn up these days, huh?
[PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Perfect family.
[SIGHS] It's the last of them,
except our kids who are
still cleaning up in there.
You have a beautiful home.
I'm sorry that my son had a
hand in wrecking it tonight.
It's the kind of house my
dad always wanted us to have.
Kind of home I want to give KJ.
Well, don't let your past with your dad
affect your future with KJ and Ava.
You're a good father, and
I'm sure a much better husband
than you're giving yourself credit for.
Appreciate the kind words.
And you shouldn't give up
on your dad or your wife.
You know, time has a way of working out
the messes of our life.
You just gotta keep leaning on hope.
Thank you Layla, really.
Um ha.
Thank you for keeping the bar
open for me all those weeks ago
and, uh, for being my first
"good acquaintance" here in L.A.
Well, I think after today,
we have graduated to friends.
- All right.
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[RATTLING]
Hey, be honest. Do you think
we're doing right by Khalil?
Absolutely. I've seen firsthand
what happens to a kid when
he gets lost in the system.
And you are making sure he doesn't.
KJ: Um, that about does it, right?
Like we were never even here.
Hey. So, I had a thought.
And, um, I'm not one
to put labels on things,
but have you ever considered
you might be demisexual?
- What?
- It means it's important for you
to have an emotional connection
before there's that attraction
or physical intimacy.
Well, I mean, back in
Oakland, we just consider that,
you know, not being an ass while dating.
And, uh, speaking of
labels, should we DTR?
"DTR"? Who still uses that phrase?
Wait, they still use that in Oakland?
- Hey, I'm being serious.
- Yeah, so am I.
What's to define?
You have a fake girlfriend, remember?
One who looks like she
had very real feelings
about what she saw, by the way.
So until you figure that out
there's nothing to DTR, Oakland.
[SIGHS]
Why didn't you just
tell Khalil the truth?
Come on. You really
think I'm the type of guy
to throw you under the
bus and blow up your life?
No. No, I just think
you're the type of guy
that would sleep with someone
else at my party instead.
- Hey, I didn't sleep with her.
- But would you have
if I didn't walk in?
Why does any of that matter?
We were fake dating, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. It's fake.
Right. Thought so.
You know what?
You did the fake
relationship thing for me
as a favour. I appreciate that,
but obviously it's
starting to affect your life
and clearly you're
interested in someone else,
so I think it would be best if we just
end this whole fake relationship thing.
- But
- It's fine. I'm fine.
It was a stupid idea anyway, right?
Yeah. Yeah, it probably was.
[CRYING]
COOP: Listen, I am sorry.
I came to talk about my grade,
and she just knew
something was on my mind.
Well, so did I, Coop, for the past week.
But instead of talking to me,
you chose to talk to Breonna.
You're right. And I
wanted to talk to you.
I promise I did, but I
just didn't have the answers
because it wasn't only about you.
It was about me, too.
[SIGHS]
I want so much to be mad at you
But the truth is, I
I get that.
I'm no different than you.
You know, hopeful that history would
repeat itself.
Keeping our past as
present in our relationship
instead of the current us.
'Cause no matter how
messy things got for us
back in the day
oh, we found a safe space again.
It just
It feels different this time.
What, like emptier?
No, like it's being
filled with other things.
- Like London.
- Like law school.
- And being a vegan.
- And being a grade "A" student.
[CHUCKLES]
Being grown-ups
who
outgrown each other.
So, this is really, really happening.
Come on.
Listen to me.
You and I, we have to make a choice.
Because if we don't,
we will be chasing versions of
ourselves that no longer exist.
I don't want that for us.

Yo.
What's Tori talking about?
She mentioned something about
a lie between you and KJ?
Are you serious right now?
Do you seriously not know?
Do you really not get it?
It was a fake
relationship, OK? Not real.
Wait. What?
Please tell me you
are not this clueless.
You won't kiss me,
but you don't want me
to kiss anyone else.
And I was stupid enough to
let your messy situations
make me act outside of myself.
I'm better than this.
I deserve better than this.
Amina.
Amina, wait.
So, what, you saying
we not friends anymore?
- [SNEAKER THUMPS ON FLOOR]
- You good?
Stupid shoe almost took
me out for the season.
So you want to tell me
what happened at the party?
I mean I clocked Tori there.
- We kind of hooked up.
- Oh,
then why does it look like you
ended a relationship
instead of starting one?
Look, it's complicated, all right?
I kind of just want to go to bed.
CASSIUS: OK.
Good night, son.
Good night, Pop.
You gonna put a dent in that counter,
you keep scrubbing so hard.
My bad about earlier, Mrs. LB
for letting the party get out of hand.
I never wanted to let
you and Coach down.
Hey, why would you let anyone down?
You opened your home to me
when you had no reason to, and I
Khalil, I want to be
perfectly clear when I tell you this.
You don't have to earn
your right to be here.
OK? You don't have to clean
or be the perfect roomie or anything,
OK? You deserve to
be here, safe with us.
But I don't, all right?
I don't deserve any of this.
My dad gets locked up, and what?
My life just gets better?
Ain't nothing right about that, Mrs. LB.
[SNIFFS]
It's OK. It's OK to feel your feelings.
SINGER: This is where you belong ♪
You don't have to be
strong all the time.
Or feel guilty for having a village

SINGER: This is where ♪
[SNIFFS] Thank you.
SINGER: you belong ♪
- You cool if I go upstairs, Mrs. LB?
- Of course.
And please, just, um,
just call me Layla.
SINGER: Whoa oh ♪
Actually, Layla, can
I ask you something?
Yeah. Of course.
What's with these high school girls
playing games all the time?
Oh, I guess some things never change.
My best advice would be that,
you know, now that
you know how it feels,
just be someone who's always
honest about what they're feeling.
Thank you.
SINGER: This is where you belong ♪
- This is home ♪
- So,
KJ was your fake boyfriend?
Yeah, to make Khalil
jealous, but it backfired,
and now KJ likes Tori anyways.
I still don't know if Khalil likes me
- and honestly, I'm just done with boys!
- Hold up.
Girls ain't no easier.
The worst part is, I think I just lost
two of my closest friends
with this stupid scheme.
I get it. I mean, Patience was
She was my best friend for
a very long time, and now
[SIGHS]
I have no idea what that
friendship looks like.
You mean when she goes to England?
No.
- We broke up.
- Wait, no.
Hey, it's OK.
It sucks and it hurts
but it was time.
So what now? Do you move into
your new apartment by yourself?
No. I mean, I can't
afford that on my own.
But hey, don't you worry about that.
Those is grown people problems.
Move in with us.
What?
Yeah. You're already here all the time.
We got a room and it'll save you money.
And I know it would make my dad happy.
Well, I guess you have
gotten grown after all.
OK, I'll talk to your pops.
Come here.
Ahh!
- COOP: Roommates.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
MAN: Greg, move your head.
