05x02 - Don't Sweat the Technique

Post by bunniefuu »

It's the middle of the
4th quarter... kilson 14,

gau 10, and welcome
back to the atl bowl,

sponsored by angry hippo.

"Nothing charges you
like an angry hippo,"

except maybe chomps Taylor.

If you're just joining us,
it's been a rough one

for Jordan baker
and the gau offense,

due in large part to number 56,

rodrick "chomps" Taylor,

who has 4 sacks on the day.

44's the Mike, 44's the Mike!

Ready,

white 80, set!

Oof!

Is anybody gonna block him?!

You know what time it is!

Yeah! Whoo!

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

Why can't they stop that guy?
J.'s gotta get rid of the ball faster.

Or Spencer's gotta get
open faster.

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

Anybody else hungry?

Taylor is eating us
alive.

See, what Garrett
should do is doub...

That's all right, Jordan!

Walk it off, baby!
Short memory!

- Let's go!
- Short memory!

He came back too early.

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

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

Yeah, well, I'm not
too sure about that.

Do you guys want me
to die out there?

'Cause it's about to be
a crime scene! J.'S right.

Look, I'm getting open, but
he can't find me 'cause he got

a runaway train coming.
Y'all gotta do something.

Winfield, grab
your hat. Come on.

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

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

Yo
right here, right here!

Isaiah winfield in motion.

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

Quick screen to James,
who gets a huge block,

and there's nothing
but daylight ahead.

Spencer James is in
for an easy touchdown,

- and the condors take the lead.
- Yes!

- You see that throw?
- Did you see that catch?

You see my fries?

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

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

Yeah, it was an illegal chop
block to the knee of chomps Taylor,

and the star
linebacker is still down.

Do you see that?

Well... Payback's
a bitch, chomps.

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

Why can't they
hit him back?

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

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

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

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

Ok? Ok?

All right. Yup.

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

What did you two
see out there?

- Um, nothing.
- If it's nothing,

you and Olivia
wouldn't be so concerned,

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

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

until I know for sure, ok?

Ok.

I think Garrett had Isaiah
hit chomps intentionally.

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

they're looking at some
serious ncaa sanctions. Wow.

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

Wow.

The clock is ticking.

Jordan baker is 3-for-3
since chomps Taylor went down,

and the condors are driving
with just seconds left.

Ready...

White 80, set!

Baker drops back.

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

He throws it, and it's...

Picked off!

Baker's pass came up short,

and that turnover
will end the game.

The cougars hang on
to win, 14-10.

Uhh! Damn it!

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

Shouldn't have played today.

No, it wasn't all on you.

It just wasn't our day.

So what now?

Back to the grind.

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

We just getting started.

Have you talked to Jordan yet?
What did he say about Isaiah?

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

- Dad?
- Mm-hmm?

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

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

Are you not handling it?

I was just trying to get
our ducks in a row

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

Enough ducking around already.

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

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

He lost his
scholarship to Spencer,

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

who spends most of
his time on the bench.

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

Well, most freshmen
sit on the bench.

your brother and sp...

You can say his name.
I'm not gonna

spontaneously combust.
It's just a breakup.

How are you doing
with that, by the way?

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

Thank you.

I'm ok.

I mean, is it easy
to have an ex

that you still have feelings
for that's connected

to you, all parts of your life?

No, but i'm
handling it, ok?

I'm focusing on me,
which takes me back to

Garrett's takedown.

You and I both know
that Isaiah hit Taylor

- like that on purpose.
- Mm-hmm.

Now, I'm not
disagreeing with you,

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

Then I will go talk
to Isaiah and get proof.

Ok... no, no, don't...
Don't do that.

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

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

- He is.
- Right.

Then he'll probably deny
it and go running back

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

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

This is so much more than
just an article, all right?

This not only affects
coach Garrett and... and Isaiah;

this affects the entire team.
So what, then? We do nothing,

and we just let him
keep hurting people?

Absolutely not,
but I, as the adult,

need to take the wheel
from here on out.

Carter ain't got no blender?

That man barely has
anything in his kitchen.

Ain't blenders
wedding-registry gifts?

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

- Let me guess. You need a blender.
- No, I'm just

taking a mental note of
everything you taking up outta here,

so I know what I need when
I move in. Oh, sorry, Tamia.

I rented out the place. It's
kinda why I'm packing it up.

You moving out
of the bakers' house?

Not yet, but when I get into gau,
i'MMA want to be close to the campus.

Besides, I'm not even sure I want to
stay there now that Spence and Liv are...

Now that we're what?

Uh, broken up,
doneso, splitsville.

- Speaking of splitsville, ain't you got somewhere to be?
- Come on, bro.

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

You broke up with her, and
the only time you ain't crying

at home is when you
crying at the gym.

Liv should be the one walking
around acting butt hurt.

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

but now you have
to live your life.

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

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

- Out where?
- You're in college.

Enjoy being young
while you can.

One hundred. You
need to do a little less

working out and a
little more wilding out.

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

and he signed to
keating records.

Well, he is A.A. jerk.

I'm surprised key and
peele haven't sued him yet.

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

Hey, yo... sorry.

Am I interrupting
something?

Uh, no, not at all.

What are you doing here?

- Heh!
- Yeah,

what are you doing
here, Jordan?

Is that coffee for us?

I hope you guys like
vanilla lattes.

They are my favorite.

Aw.
That is so nice.

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

- Yeah?
- Clay.

Ah. What about Clay?

Um, he can offer
artists everything:

A p.R. Department, a marketing
department, a social-media department,

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

Well, who needs business
cards anyways, right?

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

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

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

Anyway, um, I have
to step my game up

'cause keating records'
p.R. Department is top-tier,

and they'd be tough to
b*at, but luckily, I have known

the woman in charge
since I was a kid.

Uh-oh. You gonna try
to poach her?

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

Savage.

Hmm. Uh-oh.

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

Hello?

Saved by the ringtone.

"Business-wise and not sex"?

That's smooth.

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

Yeah.
Nobody thinks that.

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

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

Layla, if I was on a dating
app, that'd be the first thing

in my bio,
in bold... flashing.

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

That is sad and
definitely not funny.

Whatever, keating.

I'm hilarious, ok?

Look, even with both
my eyes closed

and one joke tied
behind my back, hmm?

You just proved my point.

- Patience.
- Yeah?

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

Mmm. What? She's funny.

Ok. All right.

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

Student coach.

Ah. Right.

Mmm.

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

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

- Um, I'm a slow learner.
- Your coach doesn't think so.

What's he having you do?

Exit interviews and workout
routines for the freshmen.

Ooh. A bowl win and new coach
duties. You're a pretty big deal.

Yeah.

Your man has some
serious responsibility now.

And with great responsibility
comes great power.

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

Oh. Heh! Yeah, you're right.

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

But if I impress
coach montes, it'll go

a long way to making me an
actual coach someday, so...

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

Heh! Yeah, it does.

Mmm.

Mmm.

I just need the team
to be impressed, too.

- Mm-hmm.
- I need these guys

to take me seriously, you know?

- Yeah.
- Speaking of,

jj should be here by now.

Mmm.

Ah.

Yo. Did you get my text?

Uh...

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

You missed your exit interview.

All right, relax, man.

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

Just not now 'cause
my head is k*lling me.

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

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

I didn't blow you off.
I forgot.

Big difference.

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

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

It's called offseason
for a reason, big guy.

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

At least pretend
that it matters to you.

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

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

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

They lost their bowl
game. We won ours.

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

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

but help me out, please?

Tell jj that the season
ending does not give him

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

that life moves pretty fast.

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

you could miss it.

That's Ferris Bueller.

I think jj's got the right idea.

A party sounds great.

Where we going?

I've dreamed

about this moment
for so, so, so long.

And now that Spencer is single

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

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

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

It is that deep,
Spence.

"Little mermaid,"
"under the sea" deep.

All my boys are single again.

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

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

I'm just trying
to look out for you.

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

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

like an old married couple.
How 'bout this?

Asher promises
to have fun tonight

if jj promises to hit
the gym tomorrow morning.

Thank you.
Where are we going?

Where else?

You being single is
my golden key

to the golden door

of golden Angeles
university...

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

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

- Do not know you.
- Boom.

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

so we have to do
some on-campus recon.

Hold on. I know girls at gau.

Olivia doesn't count.
Neither do your professors.

I know one girl at gau.

Hmm.

- Hey, Layla.
- Hey.

- Good to see you again.
- Yeah.

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

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

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

I'm sure that's not true. You started
your own label right outta high school.

Yeah, she called me
"little Layla" 3 times

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

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

- Mmm?
- "Intern Gia."

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

"Little Layla" and "intern
Gia"... you know, I guess

some people don't leave
room for growth. Yeah.

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

She's probably swamped
with all your new clients.

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

Pretend I didn't say that.

I'm just... heh! A little
under it right now.

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

Yeah.

Heh heh!

Come on.
That's funny.

What's funny?

Me.

- Since when?
- What do you want, Olivia?

Ok.

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

I'm pretty sure
coach Garrett put Isaiah

in the game to hurt
chomps Taylor.

Really, Liv?

Isaiah b*at up chomps?
Are you that desperate

- for a story?
- Garrett's players have a history

of hurting guys on the
other team to win games.

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

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

Yeah, but chomps going
down gave you a chance.

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

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

He isn't used to
throwing blocks like that,

so he hit chomps
a little low, and he

got penalized for it,
end of story.

It is nowhere near
the end, ok? Look,

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

I blindsided you with the
Wade stuff last semester.

I didn't want
to blindside you again.

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

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

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

who busted his ass all
season to earn a spot.

What reason would
he even have to do it?

To please Garrett.

I mean, who knows what
that predator offered him?

- Listen...
- No, no.

Isaiah didn't do it,
ok? You're wrong.

Let it go.

Something's up.

Feel like every girl
on campus is staring at me.

You're a gau celebrity.

They were always
staring at you.

You're just finally seeing
college through single eyes.

Welcome to my world.

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

- What was that about?
- Nothing.

Just... just Liv
being Liv, right?

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

but my DNA won't let me, right?

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

- Yeah.
- Amazing. Excuse me.

You gotta talk
to Olivia.

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

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

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

Now she's exaggerating
this Isaiah thing.

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

- She shouldn't have told you.
- What, you know?

Your sister and I have been looking
into coach Garrett for a while now.

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

There is no story, ok?

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

He wouldn't hurt
someone on purpose.

That hit was no accident.
You should watch the tape.

I don't need to watch
the tape, ok? I was there.

An injury ended your
career, dad, right?

Do I really need to remind
you that injuries happen

- all the time in football?
- They do,

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

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

but you need to trust me.

Hey.

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

Uh, it didn't. She canceled.

Uh, but I invited her
assistant Gia out tonight.

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

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

Ok, got you.

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

I just thought she
could use a night out.

Just saying,
and plus, you know,

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

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

I'm just sayin'.

You sure you want to marry

a dude that has me doing
all the heavy lifting?

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

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

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

Oh, yeah.

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

Now it's just a matter of time
before Spencer and everybody knows.

- Why won't she just listen to me?
- She's a smart,

strong-willed woman,

just like you raised her to be.

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

Got that from you, too.

Well, I just wish she'd
think things through

before she burns down the house.

You sure she hasn't? Look, I mean,
she's going through a lot right now.

Spencer saw that, and so
he gave her the space

so she can handle it.

Maybe you ought to do that, too.

Hmm. How is Spencer?

He's pretty upset,

and to be honest,
so am I.

I think they were good
for each other.

Me, too,
and they were.

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

Kinda like you and d'Angelo.

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

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

That's ok.
No, it's not funny. Shut up.

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

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

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

A'ight, look,
this ain't "the bachelor,"

and there ain't no roses,
especially not between friends.

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

- Lie to him? No way.
- Yeah. I appreciate you.

Both of y'all are a mess.

Heh! Anyway, I took care of you.

My business sorority friends
are throwing a party tonight.

- Oh, that's what's up.
- Uh, no. That is definitely

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

Oh, the subtraction button
for you business types.

I mean, how desperate
do you think we are?

Based on Spencer's
yard yack post, very.

I'm sorry. What post?

"Smashtour"?

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

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

"Smashtour"?

♪ I'm the best ♪

♪ that you know ♪

♪ and I play on my own ♪

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

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

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

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

It's a party.

About time you got here.

- What's up?
- What do you think?

Well, you know,
the way jj described it,

I was expecting s.A.T. Prep
class and hard seltzers.

I know it doesn't look like it
tonight, but business is one

of the hardest majors at gau, so
they're always looking to blow off steam.

Oh, I am definitely
changing majors.

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

Let me introduce
you to everyone.

Hey, everyone, Spencer
James is in the house,

and in case y'all
missed yard yack,

he's single.

Whoo!

Ah. Heh!

Tonight is
gonna be epic.

We'll be telling
our kids about it.

You know, I love you, jj, but you
ain't never getting near my kids, man.

Heh heh!

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

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

- Oh, give it time.
- Forget the hot tub. We don't even have a lobby.

Thank you, Patience. Uh,
formonica records is still growing.

I'd rather have
a small studio

with one talented artist
than a lobby full of idiots.

I have more
than one artist.

Right. Yeah. Heh!

I'm sure Layla's
already told you,

but I am a huge fan
of yours.

She did, she did,
but, you know,

you could still keep
talking about it.

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

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

My ex is on a tour.

A smashtour.

Uh, they...
They just broke up.

Mmm.

Well, I'm sorry to hear
that, but if he used

the word "smash," you might
be better off without him.

Maybe.

Hey, thanks again
for letting me crash tonight.

I really needed
to get out.

Yeah. Do you work
with Layla and Patience?

Nope. Thanks to my ex,

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

Ok, that's not true.

Olivia is a ridiculously
talented journalist

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

Powerhouses before 20.

No, stop.

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

- About you?
- Yeah.

Ok, uh, well, I loved
the video for "shining."

- Yeah?
- Yeah, but I gotta say,

you're even prettier in person.

Ok, you know what?

You are officially
my new best friend.

- Bestie, what's up?
- Ha ha ha!

♪ I'm so sexy,
oh, I'm so sexy ♪

♪ I'm so sexy, oh, I'm so sexy ♪

Wow. This statue of
Spencer looks so realistic.

Heh heh!
You know, it looks

a little bit shorter than
him in real life, though.

Uglier, too.
What's up, man?

- What's up?
- Ah.

All these fine women
in here, and y'all

standing here talking
to each other?

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

into spittin' game and
not stay for the fallout?

- Heh heh!
- I think I need to be, uh,

- watching Davita instead.
- Yeah.

Huh.
Let's all watch Davita.

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

♪ Got the party rocking,
just to get my hair popped ♪

Hey!

- Mm-mmm.
- Ok, no. Nope.

- What?
- No, I didn't come all the way

here to watch you hook up
with some Liv-alike.

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

Ok,
give Spence a break.

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

Talk to the next girl
you see.

As soon as she shows
interest, leave.

Make her find you.

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

or you just
be funny, Spence.

Girls love a guy with a
great sense of humor.

- How would you know?
- Ooh.

There's also "the swoop." That's
when you let your friends do all

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

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

- Ha. Right.
- Ha ha!

You see? I'm funny.

You get it? Because
you stole my joke.

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

Hi.

Uh, we're just having

- Yep.

I'MMA be over here,
a'ight, y'all?

- Ok.

- See ya.

I wouldn't be so quick
to shut him down.

You never know what
could come of it.

Girl, I am gay, ok?

- I am not into guys.
- Right. What I mean is

everyone you meet
is a potential fan.

That's a great way to
look at it. So she's supposed

to be nice to every douchey
guy with a bad pickup line?

The game has changed.
He could be

an influencer with thousands
of followers; He posts

about her, and just like that,
she has thousands of new fans.

I mean, I'm ok
with fans, even guy fans.

You see douchey guys.
I see sold-out concerts.

All I see are douchey guys.

That was
a tough loss, man.

Their d-line coach
had your number.

For real.
Heh heh!

Ash, pull up
your drinking boots.

- We're next in beer pong.
- I'm good.

Gau's a young team, though; You
guys are gonna do great next season.

What a surprise,

coach Asher
talking football.

Heh! I thought you were
gonna try to have fun.

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

Interviews, workouts, drills.

Blah! I'm just trying to
make sure my best friend

is ready for next season. Nothing
wrong with someone looking out for you.

Yes.

Cheers.

Dude, what is your problem?

I don't have a problem.

I have a beer pong game to play.

You're sure you're

Hey, check out this photo

of you on my phone.

Get it? You thought

it was gonna be a photo of you,
but it's actually just a... I got it.

I got it; I'm just angry
you wasting my time with it.

Ok.

That was rude.
What do you know?

- Girls will think it's funny.
- No girls that I know.

Well, maybe I should ask that
girl that you hit on. Go ahead.

We never got past me
being Spencer James.

That's all these girls
seem to care about.

Ok, and that's
a bad thing?

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

Says the guy who got
married in high school?

Toucheé. Look, the point is, you came
to this party to have fun, all right?

So come on.

Go have some fun.

He won't even
remember he had fun.

You two beefing
about something?

His football career.

I care about it
more than he does,

and I can't even get
him to listen to me.

Some coach, huh?

My moms used to say you can
tell a person that the stove is hot

and some will listen,
but others won't learn

till they touch it
and get b*rned.

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

drunk people
at a barbecue, jj.

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

They just gotta learn
for themselves.

Yo, thanks again
for the invite.

I gotta take some
business classes.

- Yeah, save me a seat, huh?
- I can't believe tomorrow's our last team workout.

I can't believe that my final play of
the season was that pathetic pass.

Don't b*at yourself up. Chomps
did enough of that already.

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

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

You mean, was I
trying to block him?

Yeah, that was
the assignment.

Right, right, but
I mean, did someone

send you in there
to hurt him?

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

I was told to block for
Spencer and protect you,

but I wasn't trying
to hurt nobody.

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

Damn, girl.
Come on up for air.

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

Maybe. I've been thinking
about what you said earlier.

Ha ha! Oh!

What? What? You
disappointed in me, coach?

- Just done.
- Ha ha!

Wait. That's it?

No exit interview?

No speech? Now,

- I'm disappointed.
- Yeah?

Welcome to the club, jj.

Look, I'm officially
resigning as your coach.

Do whatever the hell
you want to do.

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

because I'm done caring.

There's pot brownies?

Talk to me about Patience's look

in her "music can
save us" video.

She's got
the, like, bohemian,

girl-next-door vibe.
It's worked well for her.

It does, but the girl next door

can only go so far.
It's time for her

to move out of the
neighborhood, see the world.

Do you want to be
the girl next door,

or the badass woman
sailing away

on her multi-million-
dollar yacht?

Mmm.
I get seasick.

Well, they... they have
pills for that.

So how do we get her
on the yacht?

She's in between albums;
It's a great time

to reinvent herself,
show people she's grown.

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

I want people
to look at Patience

and see the glamorous,
beautiful star

- that I see.
- You just replaced

my new best friend,
which was already you, so...

- Ha ha ha!
- Yeah, I like that.

- Good.
- Oh, my god. Seriously?

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

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

Patience, if you want
advice from someone

who's known you longer than a few
hours, I say don't change for anyone.

Stay true to yourself, and if people
don't like it, they can screw themselves,

or each other.

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

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

- Right.
- Yeah.

- Very fresh.
- Very fresh, yeah.

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

Well, so much for impromptu QT.

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

It was a mistake
bringing you back here.

Wait. You're serious?

I can give you a ride home

or call you an
uber or something.

Don't bother.

I'll get my own ride.

Neasha, I'm sorry.

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

- You're not Asher.
- He didn't want to come

- and I can't say I blame him.
- I get it.

Coach Asher sent

his assistant
to scold me.

You tell your boyfriend

it's offseason.

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

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

All he's doing

is sucking up
to coach Mr. Montes.

He doesn't care
about me.

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

so at least try
and pull it together.

I should have
let him walk home.

- You talk to Olivia?
- 'Cause I'm kind of

worried about her
after last night.

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

She, um,

she wanted me to apologize
to Gia for her.

Mmm... well,
that girl is dope.

We should hang out
with her more often.

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

- Oh, cool.
- Mm-hmm.

You know what?
Um, yeah, I was thinking

that maybe we shouldn't
use her as a spy

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

I never said I wanted a spy.

Patience, say hello
to the new head

of p.R. At formonica records.

No. Wait, seriously?

- You're gonna work here?
- I hope so.

There's no way they'd let me back at
keating records now, not the way I quit.

- Heh!
- I won't let you down.

I know you won't, and Laurie
may not have appreciated

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

Thank you. Ok, so last night
was an interview for Gia?

Yes. Why didn't you tell me?

Well, I wanted you to
be yourself, and plus,

I couldn't hire her as my
head of p.R. Without seeing

how she handled
my favorite artist.

Speaking of, I threw together a little
something based on our talk last night.

- Ooh.
- Oh, my god.

What?

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

You're officially
my new best friend.

- Oh, yay!
- Aw.

- Thank you.
- Glad you like it.

- Ok, go back, go back.
- Ok.

Business cards
with my name on them.

Ok, that's funny.

Hey.
♪ Now I've finally tasted freedom ♪

What'd you get into
last night?

Nothing. I sent her home.

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

All right, well, don't
be too hard on yourself.

- At least you tried.
- Yeah?

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

and all I could think
about was my ex?

What I had with Liv
was special, man.

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

Maybe you're one
of those unicorns

that has to get
to know the girl first.

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

Maybe just try asking
a girl out on a date.

Maybe I'll give neasha
one more try,

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

- Yeah.
- I like to hike.

- Don't hit send.
- What?

Ah.

So I'll see you.

I guess she did
find her own ride.

♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪

I cannot believe
jj swooped me.

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

I, um... I wanted
to talk to you.

Look... me first.

I brought
the Garrett story to you,

not the other way around,
so, we will handle it

together because I am not
about to sit on my hands

while my dad arranges
his ducks, right?

'Cause that's not who I am,
and I am not gonna change

to make you or
anyone else happy.

- Ok, I don't want you to change. Now... ok.
- I'm not finished.

It's also not ok for you to
treat Jordan like an adult

and then treat me... his way more
mature twin sister... like a child.

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

The same, exact thing.
I had a little speech

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

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

- Maybe the quick version.
- Ok.

- Mm-hmm.
- Uh...

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

And I should treat you
like one, and I'm sorry.

- And what about the story?
- You take the lead,

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

There are those manners
I was telling you about.

You're welcome.

All right.
Nice, nice.

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

What was that all about?

- Nothing.
- All right,

listen up! Bring it in!

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

First Olivia,
now Isaiah?

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

so I wanted to share
some good news.

I always say if you want the
reward, you got to do the work,

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

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

for your hard work
and team dedication

on and off the field.
Congratulations, son.

Thank you,
coach, thank you.

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

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

now.
