Previously on Big Shot
- chair! Throw a chair!
- Coach, you're gone.
Are you trying to leave us?
I was, okay? But I'm not now.
Curse of this play has struck again.
We find ourselves in need of a new lead.
I really, really want this.
The role of Beth Macbeth will go to
- Harper Schapira.
- Yes!
I tried out for the lead in the play,
and I got blindsided by Harper.
I could help you run lines after school.
Mouse, you're the best.
You're a great friend.
Tell her you like her.
- So, it's a personal song?
- About you.
If you wanted to be her mother,
you should have made that
choice when you had her.
Wow.
stole the ball!
Randy, what's up?
UCSB has an opening for a head coach.
They wanna talk to you.
So I tried, thought
I'd never make it ♪
But I'm on my way ♪
Been driving down the roads
that ain't never been taken ♪
Yeah, I'm on my way ♪
Take it for a walk! ♪
Yeah, baby! ♪
Come on! ♪
Nice touch.
Marvyn, welcome. Arielle, AD here.
- Big, big fan.
- Thank you. Thanks, nice to meet you.
And thank you, Randy,
for taking the time and
making the connection here.
Hey, I know a good fit when I see one.
Yeah. Chef Hamada has made
a Marvyn Korn roll in your honor.
A Marvyn Korn roll? I wonder
what that is, huh?
- Just the way Kalm Korn likes it.
- Oh, God.
Absolutely brilliant way to
rehab your image, by the way.
- Yeah.
- Well, yeah. The girls did it, but
Love that.
They must be thrilled
you're getting them to DII.
Yeah, well, we're trying.
Oh, please. You'll make it happen.
That's what he does. Takes
lemons, makes lemonade.
And that is exactly what
we want you to do here.
Our players have potential,
but they need you to take them,
and us, to the next level.
Yeah, it's all about building
a winning mentality,
and I know winning.
No question.
So, how do you feel about
getting a little jump start?
Maybe meeting some of our key players?
It's just a chemistry experiment.
You know, see how you gel
with these college guys.
As opposed to high school girls.
Well, we have no concerns.
Right. The board.
Well, you know how they can be.
But just indulge us.
It might even be fun.
Okay. Yeah, I'd like
to meet a few players.
Great. I'll set it up.
Come on, Marvyn.
Picture yourself out there.
This is where you belong.
Everybody loves a good comeback story.
Get those knees up.
Come on, girls! Nice, Mouse.
Nice. Get your knees up, Olive.
You heard her, Olive. Get your knees up.
- There you go.
- Good. Good, good, good, good.
- Well, that's new.
- What?
Piggybacking on my coaching? I like it.
Well, you're finally
coaching like I coach.
- You learned from the best.
- Oh, that's so clever.
You just complimented yourself
by complimenting me.
You're welcome. I have
something to tell you later.
- Tell me now.
- Nah, it's too big for now.
- No. Come on. You can't do that to me.
- I just did.
- Bring it in girls. Come on.
- Bring it in.
Good. Good, good, good, good.
- Good hustle. I like it.
- Well, we got a big game coming up.
Carlsbad is the only thing
that stands between us and DII.
And we're going to destroy them.
Sirens on three!
- Not now, Mouse.
- But that was good, Mouse. That's good.
All right, I have a small announcement.
Actually, it's a big announcement.
As you can see, the Drama Club is using
our gym for their play this week.
You mean your girlfriend's
using our gym.
Guess we know who wears
the pants in this relationship.
Guess we know who's
doing five laps right now.
Go!
Now, for those of you not
critiquing my relationship,
I just want you to know their play is
not going to interfere
with our practice.
Good, because we've got a lot of work
to do before the Carlsbad
game next week.
I love this! See, this is the
enthusiasm I'm talking about.
You girls have it. Good, good.
Samantha, you ready?
I've been going over the
playbook every night, Coach.
- It's a lot to keep in my head.
- Well, that's why we practice.
Keep practicing and it
becomes part of your DNA.
Then maybe we should do three-a-days?
I don't think so. No, I
Believe it or not, there is such
a thing as over-practicing.
Let's just keep safe and healthy, okay?
Okay, girls, why don't you
join Louise in her laps?
Why? We didn't critique
his weird relationship.
Well, you just did.
Yeah. So laps.
Good.
They look good.
Good.
Okay, now you can tell me the
thing you couldn't tell me.
Oh.
- That's why you had 'em run laps?
- Yeah.
- I'm impressed. That's good.
- Thank you.
How? I thought you were in coach jail?
Well, apparently I've been paroled.
And guess one of the things
they liked most about me.
- Kalm Korn.
- How'd you know?
Because I said it humanizes you
And you said, "Yeah, that's exactly
what colleges aren't looking for".
- I don't talk like that.
- You're impossible.
Are you really leaving?
Well
I haven't got the firm offer yet,
but I'm meeting with
a few of the players.
Who else knows about this?
Nobody. No one. And I don't want
anyone to know until I get the offer.
- What about Sherilyn?
- Oh.
No. Yeah.
- Don't you want to give her a heads-up?
- No. Just you, only.
Why? Why me?
Because if I leave I
want you to take my spot.
As head coach?
Mm-hmm.
I think you'd be perfect for it.
- That is if you want it.
- You know I want it.
Okay, good.
Then it's decided.
I'm gonna tell Sherilyn that you're
my choice. Although not yet.
- Yeah, okay.
- Okay.
What happened?
Are you okay?
I don't know. I think I twisted it.
Okay, don't panic.
Can you move it?
Not much.
All right, girls. Get her to the
locker room, get some ice on it.
Help her up. Help her up. There you go.
Go slow.
They're gonna be devastated
by your news, you know.
Not to mention Emma.
They're kids. They'll be fine.
Gotta worry about my point guard now.
- Opening night's in a few days.
- Mm-hmm.
- Nervous?
- Mm-mmm.
I was thinking about
doing the play in the nude.
Sounds good.
Wait, what?
- What's going on with you?
- Sorry.
My mom just called.
Her job in Italy is almost
done, and she wants me
to go to this prep school next
year she's all excited about.
This is This is in Wisconsin.
Do you wanna go back there?
Are you kidding? I wanna stay
here. One thousand percent!
Okay.
Well, what did your mom
say when you told her?
I didn't.
She'd be so upset.
Me being here was
supposed to be temporary.
Well, maybe get your dad to tell her.
No. The whole custody thing is sticky,
and besides, this is
my problem to solve.
- Okay, so what are you going to do?
- Right now?
We are going to go to tech
rehearsal for the play.
Are you really that
excited to see Harper
adjust her spotlight for three hours?
What are you doing?
Between my mom and opening night,
I am in no mood to deal with Harper.
Okay.
Nice of you to finally join us, Harper.
Call me Beth when I'm in costume.
It's a method thing.
And I was having it fitted.
This is a tech rehearsal. You're
not supposed to be in costume.
I understand you're upset
that I got the role you wanted.
Your dad may have gotten
you into this school,
but he can't get you this part.
Yeah. Only your mom could do that.
The only thing my mother's
ever given me is raw talent.
Talent?
The only thing you're
talented at is manipulation.
Watch your step, Korn.
You do not want to cross me.
I'll settle for upstaging you.
Ladies.
How about we refocus
this energy on the play?
- But you're married.
- Look, I love my husband,
but when I see a hot guy
on TV, I let him know.
Cold.
No, no, no, it's preventative.
It's like zinc, you know?
When you've been married
as long as we have,
a little jealousy is like
salt on the rim of the glass.
- Ah.
- Mm-hmm.
What are you guys doing?
We are having Margarita Monday,
which you were not invited to,
so the real question is,
what are you doing here?
I heard mariachi music
playing down the hall. I
Why aren't you guys at a restaurant?
Well, Marvyn, Margarita Monday's
not a place. It's a state of mind.
- Ah.
- So, see, if it's Monday
and Sherilyn and I have margaritas,
it's Margarita Monday.
Besides, the restaurant was closed,
and are you eyeing my fajitas?
No, I don't even like fajitas.
Fajitas don't like you
either. Now, listen.
You are ruining the sanctity
of Margarita Monday,
so just turn around and
head home. Thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Don't worry. I'm not gonna tell her.
Not gonna tell Marvyn, what
are you trying to keep from me?
Nice going, loose lips.
I can't leave you two alone.
You might as well tell her
now while I'm here.
- Go ahead.
- What are we talking about?
Marvyn got a job offer from UCSB.
- Right, but I'm still
- Mm-mmm. Not your turn.
You just told me that you
planned to be here for a while,
that you were toxic
and nobody wanted you.
- All true.
- How could you do this to me?
- I'm not doing it to you.
- You are leaving me high and dry
without a head coach.
Is it my turn?
I'm not leaving you high and dry.
If I leave, and it's still an "if",
I have the perfect person
to take my place.
So we're just supposed to hire Holly
because you say so? No offense.
No, we're gonna hire Holly because
she's the best person for the job.
She's a known quantity.
The girls love her.
Plus, let's not forget,
she beat Carlsbad, and you
didn't have to kiss a pig.
- I did not have to kiss a pig.
- Thank you, Marvyn.
I'm up for this, Sherilyn.
I can prove it to you.
I'm not the one you have to prove
it to. The board has to sign off.
Marvyn and I can vouch for you,
but at the end, it's gonna
be the board's decision.
- But you'll back me?
- Of course.
But you're still gonna
have to convince them.
- Don't worry. We will.
- You know, I
Put it down.
I would like to finish
my fajitas in peace,
- so if you could just
- Sure.
Thank you.
Oh, and you know what?
Let's keep this quiet, okay?
I don't want Emma or the girls
unnecessarily upset over this thing
until it's a done deal. Okay?
I am all for avoiding
unnecessary drama, Marvyn.
That's why I didn't invite you to
Margarita Monday, so buenas noches.
Buenas noches.
And Carolyn even wrote a song
to tell me how she felt about me.
- Who's Carolyn?
- Me!
Carolyn Rose Adrienne Smith.
- I prefer to call her by her legal name.
- She does.
Oh, my God, I've never
felt more single in my life.
Okay, this is bordering on rude.
I sent three emojis this morning,
and he still hasn't replied.
Please tell me the "he" is
not that kid from Carlsbad.
Jake?
Yeah. First it was all Insta stalking,
but then we moved to DMs,
and now it's just straight up texting.
He's obsessed with me.
So, then why isn't he responding?
That's what I'm saying. It
It defies rational explanation.
Look, you shouldn't have
anything to do with him.
He goes to school with the enemy.
Therefore, he is the enemy. By default.
- Agree.
- What if Jake's a spy?
And he's using Olive to get close
to us and steal all of our plays?
Less far-fetched theories,
more icing your ankle.
Maybe a random unintelligible
emoji will get him to respond?
Hobby horse. Purple devil?
How about you just tell him
you want to meet up?
Face-to-face.
Like old people?
At least then you'll know.
One way or another.
Mmm.
Oh, look. Harper, they're amazing.
Aren't they? I designed them myself.
Huh. That would explain why it's
just your face on the poster.
Carolyn, please remind your friend
that the play is called Beth Macbeth.
Not "A Random Assortment
of Scottish Nobility".
- Um
- This coming from the person
who got her role by manipulating
the director, who is also her mother,
which is the plot of
an actual horror movie.
- Guys, come on.
- I I don't have to put up with this.
- See ya.
- Harper, wait!
Wow.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- We have a problem.
- We do?
I don't know if you're aware,
but it seems our daughters
are becoming mortal enemies.
Yeah, I know, I Emma was so upset
that she lost the role to Harper,
but, you know, she'll get over it.
Well, she wasn't the only
one who was upset.
I mean, Emma's been taking
some real shots at Harper.
It's that Korn aggression, you know?
Well, I mean, she did lose the role
to the director's daughter, so
Are you accusing me of nepotism?
As if I would choose my own
daughter over my work?
If anything, I'm harder on her
than on the other actors
to avoid that accusation.
I'm not saying you did it
intentionally, it's just
Just imagine how it looks to
Emma. That's all I'm saying.
Well, how does it look to you?
- Like nepotism.
- Oh.
- Are we fighting?
- What do you think?
The Carlsbad game is next week,
and one of our players
is down with an injury.
We're hoping she'll
recover in time to play.
- Olive, what is this?
- My Road to DII documentary,
which I've told you
about a thousand times.
I've told you a million times,
no taping during practice.
I just need a few minutes
- with each player and you and Holly.
- No. No! No.
All right, team, gather around.
You too, Olive. Come on.
Fine. I'll just get some B-roll.
I just want to tell you that Holly's
gonna take over practice today
because I have a doctor's appointment
that I couldn't change.
Are you okay, Coach?
Yeah, it's just a routine thing.
Come on. You know the drill.
Defensive zigzags. Let's go.
- How's Samantha's ankle?
- I don't know.
She says it still bothers her,
but there's no swelling,
no discoloration.
- Well, we need her at Carlsbad.
- I know.
Good luck with your
doctor's appointment.
Thanks. It's It's exciting to work
with college players again, you know?
I know.
- Go Gauchos!
- Yeah.
All right.
Appreciate you guys coming
down my way to do this today.
Whatever makes it easier for you, Coach.
We just appreciate you doing this.
So, these two are probably
our best players.
Yeah. Jason Hughes and Travis Owens.
Very talented players.
Unfortunately, Jason
knows it, and Travis
There's something wrong, something
- He lacks confidence or something.
- I agree.
And so, what would Marvyn Korn
have to say about that?
Bring it in, boys.
Gentlemen, I'm sure you're
familiar with Coach Korn
and his three national championships.
Too bad about that loss
to Kentucky in 2012, Coach.
Could've been four.
Funny guy, huh? Listen, I'm
proud of my three titles, okay?
And I was missing two starters
in that Kentucky game,
and I still took it to overtime.
My guys played harder than
any team I've ever coached.
Great effort, great team play.
Wish I could say the same thing
about the Gauchos this year.
Congratulations, Jason. You're
the best player on the team.
But until you make your other
teammates better,
enjoy the Big West cellar, huh?
Oh, and by the way, they have
this thing called defense.
- Make yourself acquainted with it.
- Yes, Coach.
All right. And you.
People think you're lazy.
You're afraid. You're
timid for some reason.
Defensively, you got great
hands. You got great feet.
But offensively, you lack confidence.
Take the threes when they come your way.
Don't give up on open looks just
because you missed a few. You got it?
- Understood, Coach.
- Good.
You guys could be so good. Let's
get out there and play one-on-one.
Don't look at her. I'm the one
talking. Get out there. Go!
Whew! I've never seen them run so fast.
I'll get them to fly when I'm done.
All right, you, you're on
Defense the entire possession.
Come on! Hands, hands!
Get up, get up! Come on.
Yeah, now you can move. You're
moving. You want to, don't you? Go!
Hand See?
Get on him, man. Don't
let him get in the paint.
Get in there!
Come on, hot shot. What do you got?
Good. That's where you
can be the star, all right?
Except for when I'm around,
I'm the star.
- Pretty good, huh?
- Good?
I'd say great. And terrific to
see you back in your element.
What'd I tell you? The Marvyn
Korn Show's still going strong.
Yeah, the yelling, the drama. It's
Skills, the personality,
the whole package.
Put it this way, we don't want
you to ever throw a chair,
but we want everyone to think you might.
Can you see yourself
back in the big stadium?
The crowds, the noise, the energy.
It's where you belong,
Coach Korn. It's who you are.
Should we call your agent?
Start talking deals?
Yeah.
It's where I belong.
See you later.
I know that look.
Look, I didn't ask you about
it because it seemed like
- you didn't want to talk about it.
- I don't.
My Aunt Angel's gone. She
left town again, per usual.
And your mom? Is that what
we settled on calling her?
I'm not calling her anything.
I've decided that if they can pretend
it never happened, then so can I.
Wait, so you mean you're never
going to say something?
Like you said, I don't
want to talk about it.
Thanks for the ride.
- Hey, D! How was your day?
- Fine.
Grandma has an early checkup tomorrow,
so you'll have to work
out your own ride to
Hey, hold up. Hold up!
- What's going on?
- Nothing.
Please. Like I don't know when
my own daughter's in a mood.
- How can you even say that?
- Say what?
Calling me your daughter.
I know that you're not my real mom.
What?
It's true, isn't it?
Did Angel tell you this?
That's what you're concerned
about? How I found out?
I heard you talking to Aunt
Angel or whatever she is!
Why don't we just have a seat,
and let's talk. You can ask
I don't wanna talk about it.
Okay, I want I want things
to go back to the way they were
before I found out you were
lying to me my whole life.
We weren't lying to you.
We were protecting you.
- From the truth?
- You were too young to understand.
But if you just calm down,
I can try and explai
You have had my whole life to do that.
Baby!
- 'Sup?
- Don't 'sup me.
I've been waiting for fifteen minutes.
What's with not responding to my emojis?
I-I responded.
Yeah, with "What doing?"
What does that even mean?
A week ago, you were
stalking my Instagram,
texting nonstop, and now
I get "What doing?"
- Look, you're obsessed with me
- Oh.
and you're making a fool of
yourself pretending otherwise.
You know you're a little
intimidating, right?
A little?
Look, I know I've been a jerk,
okay? It's just, you know,
my friends are giving me a lot
of crap about being with you.
Mine too.
- The whole rival schools thing?
- It's crazy, right?
- Yeah.
- It's so West Side Story.
That's a musical.
- Oh, so now you think I'm dumb.
- No!
I think you should stand
up to your friends.
I have been.
Look, there are a lot
of jerks at Carlsbad,
and I think it sucks what
they're doing to Samantha.
Wait, what are they doing?
She didn't tell you?
Some people have been
giving her a hard time,
harassing her, saying stuff to
psych her out, mess up her game.
What? She didn't say
anything about that.
Look, I know I haven't always
been perfect with you guys
Try "horrendous monster".
- Which you like.
- Stop.
Okay, yeah, I I admit it.
I've been a horrendous
monster. I own that.
But then I see what they're
doing to Samantha and
Look, all I can say is that's not me.
Not anymore, at least.
It better not be.
Just to be clear
whose team are you on?
Yours.
Right answer.
What's with breakfast for dinner?
What do you mean? This
is a family tradition.
Remember when you were
little, we used to do this?
If you had something big the next
day, we had breakfast for dinner.
Tomorrow's the opening of your play.
That it is.
Still bummed that Harper
got the part you wanted?
Hard not to be when she
keeps rubbing it in my face.
That's what I told Maggie.
You and Miss Goodwyn talked about this?
Yeah, you know, it's fine. Look, I
don't want you to think about that.
I want you to think about being the best
Lady Macdougal that you can be.
- Macduff.
- What?
- Lady Macduff.
- I just want to tell you I'm proud of you.
- It's only a supporting role.
- Hey!
There are no supporting roles. You
be a star in that supporting role.
Thanks.
What?
Nothing. What?
Well, you look like you wanna say
something. Just say it. What?
Mom was talking about
needing to enroll me
in school in Madison for the fall.
She told me. What do
you think about that?
I love it here. I mean, I
want to stay here with you.
Just couldn't figure out how to
tell her. I know she'll be so hurt.
- Dad, I can't go back there.
- You won't. You don't have to.
And if there was some reason that
that we'd have to find a new school,
we'll find a better school.
So wait, you're saying
what, I'm going back?
- No.
- Well, what are you saying?
Look, I love being with you. I just
I have a few things
I have to figure out.
What things? What aren't you telling me?
Just something I have to take care of.
I need a few days, that's all,
and then we'll be fine.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
We're fine. Don't worry.
I didn't like how we left things.
I called Angel.
You didn't have to do that.
Yes, I did.
I told her she needs to come down here.
That it's time for you
to hear the truth.
But you need to hear it from her.
I meant what I said, baby girl.
The last thing we ever
wanted to do was hurt you.
Sorry for getting so mad then.
You don't need to apologize.
I can't even begin to imagine
what it must feel like for you.
Like the ground fell out. Completely.
You need to hear Angel's side from her.
But I can tell you this.
She was only a little bit older
than you when she got pregnant.
And when our parents found out, they
They were so angry,
so disappointed.
Your grandma? She was
barely even talking to her.
That's so harsh.
She was in shock. We all were.
Angel had no idea what she was gonna do.
I can't imagine having to
make a decision like that.
And I hope you never have to.
But I made it for her.
I told everyone that her child
was not going to leave this family.
That I would raise you
like you were my own.
Destiny, I
I'm so sorry that keeping that
secret made you feel unwanted.
That was never my intention.
I believe that.
I didn't give birth to you
but from the first moment
that I held you
I knew that you were my daughter.
I can't look at you any other way.
Baby.
Hey.
Ah, come on in. Take a seat.
At the bad news table?
Doesn't bode well.
Sadly, no, it doesn't.
Well, then I think
I'll take this standing.
Um, I know Marvyn said to wait,
but I had a budget call
with the board yesterday,
and they asked if I'd gotten
a commitment from him,
and then one thing led to another.
And you told them that he
was thinking of leaving?
Not in so many words.
I said that he and I were talking
it over, and if he fell out,
we would still be covered because
we could consider promoting you.
And?
And I am so sorry, Holly, but they're
just not okay with that idea.
- What does that even mean?
- That's what I said.
And also added a couple
of more choice words.
Bottom line they love you as a
teacher and as an assistant coach.
They just don't think you're
experienced enough to be a DII coach,
which they fully expect us to be
after the marvelous Marvyn Korn.
He couldn't have gotten
to DII without me!
I know these girls, Sherilyn.
I know what it takes
to get through to them.
I beat Carlsbad!
You know I told them that.
And I also told them that you are
Marvyn's first choice as a replacement.
But right now, it's just a nonstarter.
- This is so
- Soul crushing.
Unfair. A patriarchal travesty.
Honey, I know.
Thank you.
- Look
- And I know you always have my back.
Listen, this is not over.
We're gonna get you there.
It's gonna take a little more time,
so think of it as like a leisurely
marathon instead of a sprint.
And now it's coming
between me and Marvyn.
And is Margaret's version
of events the way you see it?
I don't know. I don't even
see this as a thing.
And I certainly don't know why
we're talking to you about it.
Because Mr. Pappas personally
knows all the people involved.
And he's a licensed therapist.
Oh, please. He's a has-been warden
at a minimum security prison.
Okay. So, let's not personalize this.
We're here to talk about
you and your daughters,
who are seemingly in
conflict over the play.
Or is something else at
the root of the problem?
Is Emma dealing with anything unusual?
Well, yeah. I mean, her mom wants her
to go to school in Wisconsin next year.
That's stressing her out.
But I told her there's nothing
I can do about it now.
Well, there it is. We found our problem.
Hold on a second, Margaret.
It takes two to tango.
Is it possible Harper is also
going through something?
Oh, absolutely not. No,
everything is going great for Harper.
She's got almost all A's,
except for in Chemistry,
which she knows she
better bring that up.
And she's now the lead in
the play, which she deserves.
And it's going to be a
career highlight for her,
as long as she doesn't
disappoint on opening night.
So there.
- George.
- Oh, yeah, yeah. I know. I know. I saw.
Uh, Margaret, I wonder if
she's feeling pressure to live up
to the expectations of
an overachieving mother.
- Oh, I don't think that's the case.
- Really?
Think about it.
Maybe.
And Marvyn, is it possible
Emma is stressed
because she needs your support
and you're not there for her?
Yeah, Marvyn. Is Is that possible?
It's possible, yeah.
Oh, Marvyn.
- Sorry. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
When it's your kid, it's
a whole different thing.
- Oh, I completely agree. I know.
- Yeah?
I think we've made some real progress.
Not bad for a has-been warden.
Don't worry about the board.
I'll deal with them.
- You're getting this job.
- Please. Don't. Okay?
Sherilyn told them you
thought I was ready,
and it didn't move the needle.
- Yeah, but they haven't heard from me.
- Marvyn, don't.
I like to fight my battles myself.
Oh, fine.
How'd it go at UCSB?
They want me.
- Sorry.
- Oh, no. Don't apologize.
Of course they want you.
Do you still want them?
Of course I do.
It's who I am.
Right?
Jake said they were harassing
you, trying to psych you out.
God, I hate Carlsbad.
Why didn't you tell us?
I was embarrassed, so I
didn't wanna say anything.
But then I realized if my
ankle doesn't heal in time,
I won't be playing them anyway.
So, problem solved.
Problem not solved. We can't
let Carlsbad get away with this.
So, what are we gonna do about it?
I know exactly what we're gonna
do. We're gonna beat Carlsbad.
Great! Let's do it tonight.
Next week, Mouse. At the game.
I don't know. I feel like we
should tell Coach about this.
Oh, wait. Speaking of, is your dad okay?
Yeah. Why?
Well, I just know he had that big,
um, doctor's appointment yesterday.
No, he didn't. He would've told me.
Why would he say that to us?
I don't know. He's going
through something.
He said he needed a few
days to figure things out.
Yeah. Something's definitely going on.
I wonder
See, before Coach left yesterday,
he and Holly were all
hush-hush about something.
But I had my camera filming
right near where they were.
Ah! Here.
- We need her at Carlsbad.
- I know.
Hey. Good luck at your
doctor's appointment.
Yeah, it's exciting to get around
college players again, you know?
I know.
- Go Gauchos!
- Okay.
Gauchos?
That's UCSB's mascot.
UCSB?
I heard their men's basketball team
was looking for a new head coach.
Oh, my God. He's planning on leaving.

Oh.
You could've just said
that Never mind.
- Uh, could you just give me one minute?
- Thank you.
Well, this is a surprise.
Big game coming up.
And boy, have you suffered
some setbacks.
You got that court that was all banged
up by the Gruzinsky scoreboard,
and now it looks like
you're getting hijacked by
What is that thing? Beth Macbeth?
I am very worried
that you're not gonna
have time to practice.
Yeah, don't worry. We're ready for you.
Well, I know you are.
But what about poor Samantha, huh?
And that ankle of hers?
Where are you getting this information?
I got little tweety birds that
are whispering in my ear.
In fact, one of them is on the
board over there at Westbrook.
Told me that your name was floated
as a possible replacement for Korn's,
so just wondering if Mr. Big Shot
is off to greener pastures now.
Yeah, don't believe everything you hear.
I could care less what
happens to that man next.
This phone call is about you.
Me?
Listen to me.
They made a really big mistake by
not offering you that job, Holly.
You deserved it.
What do you want, Joyce?
I just thought I'd call you
and give you great news
that I know you'd love to hear.
I am retiring.
Oh, okay. Good for you.
Well, could be good for you.
You know, Carlsbad is a public school.
It doesn't have a a board.
So I am responsible for
hiring my successor.
You're at the top of my list.
Just thought maybe we could get
together, have a little chat.
Even if Westbrook
doesn't value you, I do.
I always have.
I don't
- Hey, Coach.
- Hey.
Thank you, girls, for showing
up. It means a lot.
Yeah, was there ever any question?
We're here for Emma.
- Because we know what loyalty is.
- And dedication.
Hey, guys.
What's going on?
Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats.
The show is about to begin.
- Come on. Let's all sit together.
- Hard pass.
What? Hard
- What's the matter with you?
- Are you taking a job at UCSB?
I interviewed, but, uh
no decision has been made yet.
I didn't wanna say anything
until it seemed solid.
And is it solid now?
Uh, I don't know yet.
Okay, I know you guys are upset, but
You knew this was gonna
happen eventually.
Not before we reached DII.
No, no. We're committed to
beating Carlsbad for sure.
No. We're committed to beating Carlsbad.
Apparently, you're
committed to leaving us.
Come on, girls.
Okay, yes, I might go
back to college ball,
but look at all of you.
You guys are all gonna
leave. Every one of you.
This is just a moment in your life.
Like it is a moment of my
life, Holly's, everybody's.
But it's what we make of
these moments that count.
Change is about growth. If you
wanna grow, you have to change.
If you don't like it, that's too bad.
That's life. It's inevitable.
Girls, we've been through a lot.
And in my heart, I know
we can get through this.
I know it. Okay?
Tough crowd.
I guess we better go in.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think Jake stood you up?
Even after your make-out session?
I don't know. He hasn't
responded to my texts.
- Shh. Shh.
- Smooth.
Thank you, thank you.
Before we begin, I just
wanna take a moment
to thank the immortal bard
for inspiring my play.
And thanks to an incredible cast
for bringing our words to life.
And also, a very special
thank-you to my daughter, Harper,
who stepped into the lead role
just a few days ago.
I am so proud.
Margaret took care of things
on her end. Have you?
Shh.
And now, I give you Beth Macbeth.

You desire nothing but

This arrogance will not stand!
You are a fool to toss away
the power of a king,
just for the love of family and friends.
You are the fool! For love
is where the true heart lies!
- Coward!
- Blackguard!
So ends the bloody tyrant.
So end all who would
make this foul choice!
Forsaking family and friendship
for power and position!
Wow. I take it she knows.
Marvyn? Marvyn!
Am I Beth Macbeth?
