01x09 - Beth MacBeth

[bunniefuu]

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?
