All American (2018) s08e08 Episode Script

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Yo, what's up?
Thought we were meeting
in the locker room.
Uh, they're setting up for the showcase,
which is a good sign.
I mean, they're not gonna set up
if we're gonna get
suspended for truancy.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think it's all gonna work out.
But you know the showcase
is happening regardless
of the school board's decision about us.
You mean the Chargers
are gonna be on our field
and in our locker rooms without us?
No, all right? That's not gonna happen.
All right. My dad is there
right now on our behalf.
He understands why we walked out,
so he's gonna make sure
that the school board
understands it, too.
What?
Look, bro, your dad doesn't
have much pull anymore.
They already offered
the job to Jordan Baker.
OK, but he's still our coach, all right?
And he'll walk through
fire for this team
even if you wouldn't walk
through for it for him.
It's nothing personal, KJ.
We just really wanna be on that field.
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
Jordan is there, too.
- [PLAYERS EXHALE]
- Thank God.
KJ, walk with me for a minute.
Uh, I got to get to English.
Oh, I'll talk to Mitzi.
She'll understand
unlike the school board.
No matter how persuasive your
father and Jordan Baker are,
it won't be enough.
The board's mind is made up,
but I might have an idea
about how to change that.
[LAPTOP CHIMING]
VOICE OF MARQUI: Keep the main
thing the main thing, you know?
Yessirski! Showcase
is tomorrow, baby boy.
Let's get it.
I wanna see you let that dawg out,
you know what I'm talking about,
that "arf! Arf! Arf!" That dawg. [BARKS]
That, uh, your dad?
Yeah. Just hyping me up for tomorrow.
Oh. That's nice.
Yeah, it's just
it's just nice.
[CHUCKLES]
OK, let's hear it.
What?
Isn't this the part where you
ask me if I wanna talk about it?
This is the part where
I mind my business
and trust that if you need
me, you know where to find me.
[CHUCKLES] Appreciate you.
Mm-hmm.
Any, uh, word on Preach?
I didn't want to upset Amina by asking.
Well, Coop's working on getting him out.
They're en route to him now.
I guess I'll get back
to prepping for the showcase.
[RINGTONE]
- [RINGTONE STOPS]
- Hey.
Look, I know you know that
Jordan didn't want you
to find out like you did
about him maybe taking the Beverly job.
He wanted to have a conversation
with you first.
Layla, look, I get it.
Gotta secure the bag, right?
[RINGTONE]
You should probably take that.
I'll catch you later.
[RINGTONE CONTINUES]
Hey, Gia, what's up?
CLIFF: See, I'm sympathetic
to the stand you all made yesterday,
but the board wants to make an example.
And how do you know that?
I have friends on the board,
and they tell me that your
suspension is a fait accompli
unless I pull some strings.
So do it. I mean, you said
you wanted to help, right?
Yes, but I need some reassurances.
Jordan Baker promised
Landon an answer tomorrow.
If he says yes, your dad's done.
I want Cassius to stay,
but I can't fight this fight alone.
And after what you pulled at
yesterday's press conference,
my pops ain't really
feeling you right now.
[CHUCKLES] You catch on fast.
All right. So what do you want from me?
I just need to know
that he'll hear me out
after I fix this mess.
Remind him that we all
want the same thing:
Beverly Head Coach Cassius Jeremy.
Right.
[TAPS SHOULDER] Good man.
A pre-show?
So keep the Landon dates,
but start the tour 3
days earlier in Berlin?
Great.
Right.
No, it's just that I'm
only here for a week or so
and I have to figure out
some things before then.
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
- Um
if Elle wants to add Berlin, book it.
If she wants me there, it's
a little bit more complicated.
- Hey.
- Hi.
OK. Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, no, I was just saying thank you
to the flower delivery guy.
Yup, Roc Nation sent another bouquet.
Mm-hmm, very nice and very unnecessary
because Formonica is not for sale.
[DOORBELL RINGS, LAYLA EXHALES]
Mm-hmm. Look, I am glad
that Elle is excited, but
Uh, Gia, hi. Sorry. I'm
gonna have to call you back.
OK.
[BOTH SCREAM]
Oh, my God. I missed you so much.
[EXHALES] Oh, my God.
I know, I know.
God. My gosh.
SINGER: Let them know, let them know ♪
We're better than ever ♪
Uh, chips?
Uh, too salty.
OK. Crackers?
Eh, not salty enough.
All right. Uh, almonds. Oh, never mind.
These are expired.
Eh, it's only a month.
Also, can we move to the couch?
The island isn't exactly
pregnancy friendly
- Hmm.
- You know?
Ah. Wow!
You were not kidding about
the third trimester, were you?
No. It is a whole new ball game.
Did I tell you I sleep sitting up now?
No.
Yeah. It's the only way
I can keep the heartburn at bay.
That and the antacids I
keep on me at all times.
And yet you're still glowing.
You bet I am.
Also, I'm 32 weeks now,
so it's the last time
I'll be able to fly
before the twins come.
So when Spencer said he
had a commercial shoot,
I figured it was the perfect excuse
to come surprise my bestie.
Well, honestly, you could not
have come at a better time.
- There's just been a lot
- [RINGTONE]
- [RINGTONE STOPS]
- Ugh.
Hey, don't worry about
me. You can get it.
Seriously. We'll have
plenty of time to talk.
Spencer's got some corporate dinner,
and then he has to
be on set super early,
so I told him I'd be staying the night.
OK. He insisted that I spend the night,
which I assume is fine.
He's so extra about me
being alone with the twins
- only a month out.
- As he should be.
And, yes, of course.
Your room's all yours.
Thank you.
Hey. Olivia.
I didn't know you were in town.
Yeah! Surprise visit.
Staying just down the hall from you.
Nice. Um, I'll take your bags up.
[CELLPHONE CHIMES AND VIBRATES]
You know, it's all right.
I got my bags this far.
Oh, no. It's, um,
you're not carrying any
bags up those stairs.
It's just, um
[CHUCKLES] it's been a crazy week,
and I got a friend that's
looking to unpack it all.
You're not looking to do that?
Just got a lot on my plate.
Mm. Maybe tell him that.
It's a she, and, uh
sh she just got here.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I thought you hated Cliff
because of what he said
about you and the Bakers.
I mean, I don't think it was the time
or his place to share,
but it's not something I'm ashamed of.
I think it's cool you're a Baker.
It's like being Beverly High royalty.
Uh, I'm a Jeremy, but, yes,
Coach J.B. is my cousin.
Anyway, the point is,
I think Cliff wants the same thing I do,
which is my dad as head coach.
Which is more than I can
say for the rest of the team.
Hey! I'm on Coach Jeremy's
side. Always have been.
Bro, I told you that I'm
in your dad's corner, too.
But come on, man.
This is Jordan Baker
we're talking about.
All right, look, man, let's
just drop it, all right?
Max, you wanna get a workout in,
burn off some nerves?
Workout? The showcase is tomorrow.
Today's a rest and recovery day.
Nah, I need to finish strong.
Coleman?
Uh, where you gonna do it at?
The gym's off limits while
they get everything ready.
I don't know. We can
figure something out.
COLEMAN: Yeah, nah. The cards are dealt.
It's gonna be what it's gonna be.
If I were you, I'd
get you some whoo-saa,
focus on kicking ass tomorrow.
Good advice.
Now, what's a whoo-saa?
Is that like, uh, like foo foo or ?
TORI: I mean, after we
all found out what happened
at Dinsberg between KJ and Amina,
I don't think it's crazy out of pocket
for Miranda to feel some type of way.
I'm not defending what happened.
Cheating. That's what it is.
And I know they only said it was a kiss,
but, um, they're clearly
OK with lying to us, so
Look, I I can't do this right now.
Why? Because of Amina or your boy KJ?
'Cause real life happened
in the last 24 hours.
No. You're right.
What Amina went through
with the frozen people
had to be hell.
And I'm glad she's home and safe.
But how am I just supposed to forget
what happened at dinner
and how she and KJ
blew up my relationship?
Tori, no nobody's
saying you gotta forget.
I just think we all
could use a breather.
The showcase is tomorrow.
That's where my head's gotta be at.
Does that include you taking
a breather from Miranda?
Who is Miranda?
Yo.
What's going on?
[EXHALES] A lot, it seems.
Mm.
KJ and Amina, huh?
Oh, yeah! Wow.
I nearly forgot about that
with everything that happened
at South Crenshaw yesterday.
Yeah. Well, Tori certainly hasn't.
And who is Miranda?
Someone's enjoying the teen drama.
Yeah. Well, it's a lot more
fun when I'm not a part of it.
Turns out "Happily Married Liv"
is my favorite chapter so far.
Sounds nice.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SIGHS]
I know you and Jordan have
been feeling a little distant.
Yeah, but it's not really about Jordan.
Just like things are
things are working for him right now
and I'm happy for him,
but when it comes to me,
nothing feels settled. I don't know.
Hmm. Does this have anything to do
with that floral Roc Nation offer?
Ohh. That's actually
the least of my worries.
Um, it's gonna sound silly
'cause it's it's not
really that big a deal,
and, you know, it's just a few days,
which in the scheme of things
Hey, you do not have to downplay
your feelings with me. You know that.
[EXHALES]
Um, Elle wants me to
leave on tour sooner,
and it's just a few days,
but something with me and
Jordan feels uncertain,
and that all started with me
being gone so long the last time.
That sounds serious.
I mean, I know you said things were off,
but how bad is it?
Well, that's just it. It's not bad.
You know, nothing is bad.
But when I try to
think about my future
or our future, just
nothing feels quite right.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Damn. This house is busy.
I can get it. It's fine.
Too late.
Hi.
Hey.
KJ, uh, what you doing here, bro?
Oh. I was just
I was, uh
just hoping to get a last
workout in before tomorrow.
Beverly's not an option, so
South Crenshaw's gym shut down
after yesterday's raid.
Tori, I I just wanted
to tell you that
KJ, I don't think now's the time.
KHALIL: Hey, you know what?
I I got a spot, bro.
Yeah, let's, um [CLEARS THROAT]
Let's get a workout in.
I think it'll help us,
you know, clear our heads.
TORI: Um, I'm sorry.
I'll go and leave you
to your home in one sec.
I'd just rather not run
into them outside, so
Of course, yeah.
Yeah, but you also don't have to bolt.
I mean, we get it.
We were teen girls in
messy relationships once.
LAYLA: Yeah, we are happy to listen
if you want to talk.
Um, I'm pretty sure I've
embarrassed myself enough
in this house the past couple days.
Not at all.
Seriously. I'm fine.
It's nothing.
OK, Tori, I've been here the whole time.
I know it's not nothing.
And full disclosure:
I basically tell Liv everything, so
I was, um, sorry to hear about
what happened with KJ and Amina.
Getting cheated on sucks.
Wow. You really do tell her everything.
[CHUCKLES]
Actually, you spilled that part earlier
in your not-so-quiet chat with Khalil.
Right. Of course.
So you've been cheated on?
Wait, why are you guys looking
at each other like that?
I, um, I kind of hooked up
with Layla's boyfriend in high school.
Yeah, twice, actually.
Wait. Asher and who else?
Spencer in Vegas.
OK, no, that was not cheating.
I just wasn't entirely honest.
Wait. Hold up.
Um, you dated Spencer James, as in ?
Olivia's now-husband, yes.
- TORI: Oh.
- OLIVIA: Yeah.
So, you know, the point is
this house has seen
its fair share of drama
long before you stepped foot in it.
So you have nothing to
be embarrassed about.
- TORI: OK.
- LAYLA: And who knows?
Maybe our past experience
might actually help.
Yes, but it is a pretty long story,
um, and I'm starving,
so how do we feel about having this
conversation over truffle fries?
SINGER: OK, I tried ♪
To be honest, babe ♪
OLIVIA: OK, so I'm fully in the wrong
when it comes to Asher,
but to really understand
what happened with Spencer,
we have to start at the beginning.
And besides, I know you like him.
No, I don't.
Olivia, I see the way you look at him.
Yeah, kinda like the
way he looks at you?
OLIVIA: And even though
she knew I liked him
[CHUCKLES]
Sorry.
I'm not.
Seriously. I was right over there.
That's awful.
We didn't know she was there.
Anyway, um,
Spencer and I dated,
and a few months later, I had a meltdown
not related to Spencer.
And then that summer, we went to Vegas,
and Jordan had a surprise wedding,
where Olivia and Spencer
Wait. Jordan got married in high school?
- LAYLA: Yeah, kind of. Um
- OLIVIA: Well, no. He did.
I'm allowed to feel a
type of way about it.
OK. No, no. Fair enough, fair enough.
OK, wait. But what Layla
was about to say was
later that night
Spencer.
SINGER: Guess I never
learned my lesson ♪
If it's too good to be true ♪
It is ♪
I love you.
I ain't even sure when it happened.
Maybe it was the night I got shot or
watching movies with you all summer.
Or maybe it's been since
my first day at Beverly
and I just ain't realized
it, but I know now.
I'm in love with you.
Wait. That is so romantic.
Well, then
SINGER: My blue sky ♪
In that same night?
Yeah, not his finest moment.
- LAYLA: Or yours.
- OLIVIA: No. He kissed me.
OK? And technically, you
guys were on a break, so
Ohh, yeah. No, not my
finest moment either.
Mm-hmm.
But you guys are both
OK with all of that?
How? Like, seriously.
Well, it took some
time, but I just realized
my life was better with Liv in it.
And in terms of Spencer,
eventually I realized
I wasn't really heartbroken,
just mad at him for wasting my time.
OLIVIA: Well, actually,
that's kind of a good way
to look at it, you know?
Like, are you heartbroken,
or are you just mad
that KJ wasted your time?
I actually don't know.
I'm just angry.
I mean, he's been blowing up
my phone since the breakup
apologies on top of apologies,
and I'm just not ready to hear it.
I'm not trying to punish
him or anything like that,
but I can't be the one
to make him feel better
about what he did.
That's totally fair.
And don't even get me
started on Saint Amina.
OK, I don't want to be that girl
that blames the other girl,
and I know she just
put herself on the line
and she's been selfless
and brave and all that,
but she kissed my boyfriend
and lied to my face about it.
Maybe that's the difference.
Amina and I were never really close,
but no matter what,
you two were always friends.
Well, it wasn't always that simple.
You let me pour my heart out to you.
You gave me advice,
knowing you'd betrayed me.
I didn't want to give you advice.
You begged me.
Because I thought I was
talking to my best friend,
not a treacherous bitch.
Wow.
[OLIVIA SIGHS]
You got time for dessert? [CHUCKLES]
KJ, it's me.
Look, I just sent you a text,
but I just got back from
the school board meeting,
and, honestly, I didn't have
to do much convincing at all.
But I got some good news for you.
You and the team got
a showcase tomorrow,
so call me back.
Congratulations, Coach.
[EXHALES]
What do you want, Cliff?
Just to remind you that good
news doesn't fall from the sky.
See, the reason you didn't
have much convincing to do
is that I had already done it for you.
So you've got me to thank
for the board's decision.
Well, me and your son.
SINGER: 'Cause we're
having fun, yeah ♪
Oh, my God. That is so good.
- I told you.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
Let me make sure I have this straight.
Mm-hmm.
In addition to the
infamous fight at homecoming
where you called Olivia
"a treacherous bitch"
after finding out she slept with Asher,
you tried to have Layla committed?
And this was all prior
to the Vegas shenanigans?
OK. For the record,
I had good intentions on
the whole committed thing.
And honestly, I did need the help.
I just didn't see it at the time, so
I
I can't believe you guys are
still friends after all of that.
I can't even believe you guys
can sit in the same room together.
Because it's worth it.
All the hurt, the mistakes,
none of it compares to what
Olivia's friendship means to me now.
She is always there for me.
And then sometimes, like today,
she will physically appear
when I need her most.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah. I'm glad that works for you guys,
but, um, if that's what
I have to look forward to
being friends with Amina, I'm good.
Well, how about KJ?
That relationship's over.
I meant your friendship.
I don't think it's
possible to get that back.
Well, we did.
I mean, look, you
you and Amina were
never really friends, OK?
I get that.
But, I mean, you and KJ were
before you hooked up, right?
Sure. I was KJ's first friend
when he came to Beverly.
And he helped me get through a lot, too.
I don't think I ever really believed
that he was the one
or anything like that,
but his friendship meant a lot to me.
And I guess part of that heartbreak is
realizing that it didn't
mean that much to him.
Tori, it did.
How can you be so sure?
'Cause he told me himself.
He's my second cousin. We talk.
LAYLA: Now, if that friendship
is worth saving is up to you.
Yeah, it's still too fresh.
I get that, but, um, just so you know,
someone who shows up
when you need them most,
it's worth it.
Thanks for the fries
and the perspective.
Seriously. You've given
me a lot to think about.
LAYLA: Mm-hmm.
OK. Bye.
- LAYLA: Bye.
- OLIVIA: Bye.
Yeah, she thinks we're crazy crazy.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah.
This cake, though, is
So good.
Hey, can we meet up?
I wanna talk about this morning.
Gimme a call when you get this.
SINGER: Through the trial
and error, I'mma still shine ♪
No matter what life throw
at me, I'mma still grind ♪
All my work got me
feeling like it's my time ♪
So you're really not gonna tell me
what you and Tori were talking about?
She mostly just wanted to
talk about me and Miranda.
Really? So she had
nothing to say about me?
Bro, don't
don't do that.
It's just a question.
It's none of my business.
No, but it is mine. OK?
I messed up, and I know that.
But I just want her to
know that I am sorry.
But how can I tell her that
if she's not talking to me?
Bro, seriously, enough.
It's not the end of the world.
OK, but I'm just saying, man,
I want her to feel
OK, look, hey, listen, 'cause
I'm only gonna say this once.
You're not a bad guy, KJ.
You made a mistake. That's it.
So stop pressing
and stop trying to make sure
Tori's OK 'cause she will be,
but she don't need your
help trying to get there.
Bro, you got too much
riding on tomorrow's showcase
for you not to be locked in.
You know what, you
you are absolutely right.
Yeah. My my dad, he just told me that
the school board's not gonna suspend us,
so we are back in the showcase.
And actually, he he
needed to talk to me.
So I should probably head out.
I'll drop you back
off at the Baker house.
Actually, I'm not ready
to head out just yet.
Why not?
Does this have something to do
with Coach JB potentially leaving?
Look, I
I know it's not the same for you and me,
but, you know, if my dad
leaves, he's still my dad.
But if Coach JB leaves
South Crenshaw, he's
I don't know. I just
if you wanna talk about it
For what? That's why
I'm focused on tomorrow.
Showcase is everything right now.
That's why I gotta
get these offers or
at least an offer locked in,
so no matter who comes in
as QB coach next season,
they can't mess it up.
Bet.
I'll see you there.
Ooh. My goodness.
[SIGHS]
Is it weird that we're still friends?
OK, well, this would be really
weird if we weren't friends.
[CHUCKLING] No. I mean just
because of everything
that we've been through
because of each other.
Well, it's too late to back out now.
[CHUCKLES]
[EXHALES]
Look, I, uh
[INHALES AND EXHALES]
I know our friendship
was never perfect
I mean the breakups
and betrayals.
I mean, we we hurt each other.
But that's kind of the thing.
You know, when you're
as close as we are,
sometimes you're gonna collide
and you hurt the people
close enough to bruise you,
but we always showed up for
each other when it counted.
SINGER: I watched the screen ♪
'Cause inside,
something's left unseen ♪
Layla?
SINGER: Not really here ♪
Indecisive from the very first scene ♪
Ooh ooh ♪
The door was open. I
Ooh ooh ooh ♪
[SOBBING]
Ooh ooh ooh ♪
Ooh ooh ooh ♪
Um, you gave that back to me
when you were at your lowest
and really needed help,
and I totally missed what
you were trying to tell me,
and no amount of sorry is
ever gonna make up for that.
But I stand by what I said
the day I gave it to you:
your courage inspires me,
and your courage helped me
fight for my own recovery,
and that's how I know
you're gonna keep fighting for yours.
SINGER: Can't wash my hands ♪
As the story never ends ♪
You know, you forgot something
about what you said to me
the night that you gave me that pin.
Can't wash my hands as
the story never ends ♪
You promised to be a better friend,
and you have.
You are literally
[CHOKES UP]
you are literally the absolutely best.
And I love you, Lay.
And I thank God for you every day.
I really do.
SINGER: Leave the grime growing ♪
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
SINGER: Can't wash my
hands as the story ♪
But it worked, Dad.
You made a deal with the devil, son.
You told me on your message
you barely had to do anything
to convince the school board.
Cliff got us back on that field.
What did you promise him in return, hmm?
That I tell you to hear
him out. That is all.
And to tell you the truth, Dad,
I think you should
'cause right now, you still have a shot
at keeping your job but
only if you make some moves,
'cause Jordan, he's gonna
give his answer tomorrow.
Your future is literally in his hands.
Look, I know what Cliff is, OK?
But right now, sitting back
is just it's not working.
I want you back as my
head coach next year.
You want it, too.
And I think Cliff wants the same thing.
So what's it gonna hurt
to just hear him out?
Hey.
Thanks for coming.
I know you have an
early morning tomorrow.
I was out anyway.
And I promise this isn't a setup.
Miranda's not working.
I was here earlier today.
I already know you
wouldn't do me like that.
You wanted to talk?
Uh, look,
I know today has been heavy
and I probably made
it worse this morning.
It's all good.
No, it's not.
I was reminded today
that real friends
show up for each other.
And that got me thinking about
how much you've shown up for me,
like really shown up.
You're a real friend, Khalil.
SINGER: Breathing in
the sands of time ♪
But this morning,
I wasn't a friend to you.
I was so caught up in my own stuff that
I forgot what you were carrying.
But the thing is,
is you've earned this moment.
OK? The right to be locked in
but also to enjoy yourself.
So for whatever it's worth, just know
you've got me in your corner.
I'm rooting for you
and the future that
you want for yourself.
And, Khalil, I know
I'm not the only one.
SINGER: There's still time ♪
Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Good to see you, Coach.
Cliff
look, we got a big day tomorrow,
so I'm gonna keep this brief, all right?
I appreciate everything
that you did with the board, really,
but, uh, I got it from here.
[CHUCKLES]
I didn't do it out of friendship, Coach.
I did it because Jordan
Baker's in the driver's seat,
and I don't like that
current arrangement.
And who should be driving? You?
Ohh. Well, I was gonna say "us,"
but if you want to be blunt about it.
Not that it really matters anyway,
because we both want the same thing.
I didn't want you airing
out my family business
for clout with the boosters.
No. But you want to stay on here
as head coach at Beverly,
and I have a plan to make that happen.
I just need to know that you're onboard.
You know, I think I let Spencer off
a little too easily
for that Vegas weekend.
Well, if I learned anything from today,
it is that no one should
really be held accountable
for the idiotic things
they did in high school.
Mm.
[CHUCKLES]
And, you know, even
Vegas had a silver lining.
How's that?
Well
Spencer told you that he loved you,
and in a way, it was kind of
the beginning of me and Jordan.
OK, but he had, like,
literally just married Simone.
I don't mean that we got together,
just, like, you know, in the fallout
of everyone learning
about what happened,
he made space for me.
Hey, Layla.
Hey. You OK?
Uh, yeah. I just forgot
my wallet. I'm fine.
SINGER: Holding it in
is tasting like blood ♪
Look, Jordan, I don't want to put you
in the middle of it. She's your sister.
And you're my friend.
I take it things didn't
go great with Liv?
Uh, yeah, not exactly.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to
apologize, Jordan. I'm OK.
Honestly, I'm just
I'm just tired of the
lies and everyone thinking
I'm not mentally stable
enough to handle anything.
I should go.
For the record, Layla,
you're one of the
strongest people I know.
Never doubted it.
Thanks.
JORDAN: Yeah.
That was the moment
that I really saw him
saw the man he was becoming.
And so what are you gonna do about
what's going on between you guys now?
Oh, in the next week and a half?
I'm serious.
So am I.
[INHALES]
I think a big part of the
problem is the future is unclear.
Maybe that's why I'm having
trouble figuring myself out.
I don't know.
But what I do know is that Jordan is
so close to realizing his dreams,
and I am just I'm
staying focused on that.
Yeah, but also just focusing
on Jordan isn't an answer.
It's a stall.
And you should be
prioritizing yourself, Lay.
SINGER: And night holds tight ♪
Um
A distant star cuts
through the fight ♪
Are you scared?
Don't change the subject.
I'm not. I just mean, like,
your your career, your marriage,
your whole life is about to change.
Doesn't that terrify you?
Yeah. Of course I'm scared.
I mean, it'll change in
ways I can't even imagine,
but that's that's
kind of part of the deal.
You know, family is
fear and joy tied together, you know,
but I'm I'm gonna choose joy.
You know, one day at time,
I'm gonna choose joy
for me and for my family.
Yeah. It just feels
like I'm so wrapped up
in making sure that
Jordan and I are functional
to even think about joy.
And why do you think that is?
Because functional feels like a victory
when we've spent so much time apart.
The silence screams ♪
And it is, you know.
We make it work.
But when I think about
the bigger questions
of permanence and commitment and family,
it just puts all of that at risk.
Well, that's because you
shouldn't just be asking yourself.
Sewing like thread ♪
Layla
I couldn't face the
unknown without Spencer.
[CHUCKLES]
I mean, seriously, we're going in blind,
but we're going in together.
That's why you need
to let Jordan in, OK?
Let him be scared with you,
and then figure out what joy looks like
for the both of you
and for your family.

Fail a test, you're out a few games.
Tamper with results, you're done.
Lifetime ban player or coach.
What does that have to do with me?
Well, you? Nothing.
But Baker, on the other hand
[CHUCKLES]
Jordan Baker failed a
drug test his junior year.
And he, with the help of
his father, covered it up.
You're sure?
I mean, you got proof?
I am sure, but I don't need proof.
Jordan's not his
father. He's a Boy Scout.
Once these accusations are put forth,
he won't deny them.
And once Landon's lost
his leading candidate,
the job will be all yours.
[DOOR OPENS]
You're up late.
So are you.
Wanted to, um, see you before tomorrow.
Look, Khalil, you don't have to talk,
but I need you to hear something.
Being with Liv today reminded me that
I learned love in this house,
learned what it means to be family.
And it's not a fairy tale.
It isn't perfect.
It's a journey with one constant
the people that are there
for you no matter what.
It doesn't matter if
Jordan is your coach or not,
you are our family.
And the people in this
house will show up for you
no matter what.
So whatever happens tomorrow,
we'll figure it out together.
OK.

[OLIVIA MOANING]
Layla?
Liv?
Olivia, what's wrong?
[GASPING]
Ohh. It's too early.
I think I'm having a contraction,
but it's too early, and I
can't get hold of Spencer.
Olivia, I I think you're bleeding.
Oh, no. It's too early.
Let's get you over to the couch.
[MOANS]
Over here. This is fine.
[INHALING AND EXHALING]
DISPATCHER: 911. What's your emergency?
Yes. Um, my my friend,
she she's pregnant.
Uh, she's she's bleeding.
I'm 32 weeks' with
twins. It's too early.
DISPATCHER: Sir, I'm going to
need to speak with her directly,
but I need you to do everything you can
to keep her calm. Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
- DISPATCHER: What's her name?
- KHALIL: Olivia.
DISPATCHER: Good. Now
put Olivia on the phone.
The ambulance is on the way.
Hey, they want to talk to you.
Hi.
No. I thought I was having
Braxton Hicks contractions,
but I'd say it lasted about a minute.
- Have a great day.
- [CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
Hey. Where are you?
Coach, it's your sister.
I was coming downstairs, and
I I think she's having contractions.
Coach, she's bleeding.
What?
Yeah, yeah. I think she's
going into early labor.
You gotta get here now.
No.
No, no, no, no.
No, no.
CASSIUS: What the hell?

VOICE OF LAYLA: And
the people in this house
will show up for you no matter what.
DISPATCHER: On a scale of 1 to 10,
what would you say your pain is,
1 being no big deal and 10
being the worst pain imaginable?
Oh, my God. I certainly
don't want to imagine
anything worse, but an 8.
[INHALING AND EXHALING]
Oh, my God.
Thank God that's over.
How far is the ambulance?
They are on their way, ma'am,
but we need you to be prepared
for the possibility that
these babies may have
to be delivered at home.
What? No, no, no. No.
No, no, no. That's not happening.
DISPATCHER: Your contractions
are 4 minutes apart,
about one minute duration.
That is considered active labor,
and we need to be prepared.
Hey, we're getting everything together.
DISPATCHER: What was that, sir?
We're getting everything together now
water, clean blankets,
scissors, sterile gloves.
No, no
Only if we need it, OK?
But for now, just breathe
with me, all right?
All right.
OK, OK, just
promise me promise me
you're gonna find Spencer, OK?
Promise me.
I don't want to do this alone, OK?
Hey, you won't. I promise.
OK.
[KHALIL EXHALES] Just breathe.
OK. OK.
