08x09 - Feel

[bunniefuu]

[Indistinct chatter]

Yo, what's up?

Thought we were meeting
in the locker room.

Uh, they're setting up
for the showcase,

which is a good sign.

I mean, they're not gonna set up

if we're gonna get
suspended for truancy.

Right?

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I think it's
all gonna work out.

But you know the showcase
is happening regardless

of the school board's
decision about us.

You mean the Chargers are
gonna be on our field

and in our locker rooms
without us?

No, all right?
That's not gonna happen.

All right. My dad is there
right now on our behalf.

He understands
why we walked out,

so he's gonna make sure

that the school board
understands it, too.

What?

Look, bro, your dad doesn't
have much pull anymore.

They already offered
the job to Jordan Baker.

OK, but he's
still our coach, all right?

And he'll walk through fire
for this team...

even if you wouldn't
walk through for it for him.

It's nothing personal, KJ.

We just really
wanna be on that field.

Well, if it makes you
feel any better,

Jordan is there, too.

[Players exhale]
Thank God.

KJ, walk with me for a minute.

Uh, I got to get to English.

Oh, I'll talk to Mitzi.

She'll understand...
unlike the school board.

No matter how persuasive your
father and Jordan Baker are,

it won't be enough.

The board's mind is made up,

but I might have an idea
about how to change that.

[Laptop chiming]

Voice of Marqui: Keep
the main thing the main thing,

you know?

Yessirski! Showcase is
tomorrow, baby boy.

Let's get it.

I wanna see you
let that dawg out,

you know what I'm talking about,

that "arf! Arf! Arf!"

That dawg.
[barks]

That, uh, your dad?

Yeah. Just hyping me up
for tomorrow.

Oh. That's nice.

Yeah, it's just...

it's just nice.

[Chuckles]

OK, let's hear it.

What?

Isn't this the part where you
ask me if I wanna talk about it?

This is the part where
I mind my business

and trust that if you need me,
you know where to find me.

[Chuckles]
Appreciate you.

Mm-hmm.

Any, uh, word on Preach?

I didn't want to upset
Amina by asking.

Well, Coop's working
on getting him out.

They're en route to him now.

I guess I'll get back

to prepping for the showcase.

[Ringtone]

[Ringtone stops]
Hey.

Look, I know you know that

Jordan didn't want you
to find out like you did

about him maybe taking
the Beverly job.

He wanted to have a conversation

with you first.

Layla, look, I get it.

Gotta secure the bag, right?

[Ringtone]

You should probably take that.

I'll catch you later.

[Ringtone continues]

Hey, Gia, what's up?

Cliff: See,
I'm sympathetic

to the stand you all
made yesterday,

but the board wants
to make an example.

And how do you know that?

I have friends on the board,

and they tell me
that your suspension

is a fait accompli

unless I pull some strings.

So do it.

I mean, you said you
wanted to help, right?

Yes, but I need
some reassurances.

Jordan Baker promised
London an answer tomorrow.

If he says yes, your dad's done.

I want Cassius to stay,

but I can't fight
this fight alone.

And after what you pulled at
yesterday's press conference,

my pops ain't really
feeling you right now.

[Chuckles]
You catch on fast.

All right. So what
do you want from me?

I just need to know that
he'll hear me out

after I fix this mess.

Remind him that we all
want the same thing:

Beverly Head Coach
Cassius Jeremy.

Right.

[Taps shoulder]
Good man.

A pre-show?

So keep the London dates,

{\an8}but start the tour 3 days
earlier in Berlin?

{\an8}Great.

{\an8}Right.

{\an8}No, it's just that I'm
only here for a week or so

{\an8}and I have to figure out
some things before then.

{\an8}[Doorbell rings]
Um...

{\an8}if Elle wants to add Berlin,
book it.

If she wants me there, it's
a little bit more complicated.

-Hey.
-Hi.

OK. Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, no, I was just saying
thank you

to the flower delivery guy.

{\an8}Yup, Roc Nation sent
another bouquet.

{\an8}Mm-hmm, very nice
and very unnecessary

{\an8}because Formonica is
not for sale.

[Doorbell rings, Layla exhales]

Mm-hmm. Look, I am glad
that Elle is excited, but...

Uh, Gia, hi. Sorry. I'm
gonna have to call you back.

OK.

[Both scream]

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.
I missed you so much.

[Exhales]
Oh, my God.

I know, I know.

God. My gosh.

Singer: ♪ Let them know,
let them know ♪

♪ We're better than ever ♪

{\an8}Uh, chips?

{\an8}Uh, too salty.

{\an8}OK. Crackers?

{\an8}Eh, not salty enough.

{\an8}All right. Uh, almonds.
Oh, never mind.

These are expired.

Eh, it's only a month.

Also, can we move to the couch?

The island isn't exactly
pregnancy friendly...

Hmm.

You know?

Ah. Wow!

You were not kidding about
the third trimester, were you?

{\an8}No. It is a whole
new ball game.

{\an8}Did I tell you I sleep
sitting up now?

{\an8}No.

{\an8}Yeah. It's the only way

{\an8}I can keep the heartburn at bay.

{\an8}That and the antacids I
keep on me at all times.

{\an8}And yet you're still glowing.

{\an8}You bet I am.

{\an8}Also, I'm 32 weeks now,

{\an8}so it's the last time
I'll be able to fly

{\an8}before the twins come.

{\an8}So when Spencer said
he had a commercial sh**t,

{\an8}I figured it was
the perfect excuse

{\an8}to come surprise my bestie.

{\an8}Well, honestly, you could not
have come at a better time.

{\an8}There's just been a lot...
[Ringtone]

{\an8}[Ringtone stops]
Ugh.

{\an8}Hey, don't worry about me.
You can get it.

{\an8}Seriously. We'll have
plenty of time to talk.

{\an8}Spencer's got
some corporate dinner,

{\an8}and then he has to be
on set super early,

{\an8}so I told him I'd be
staying the night.

{\an8}OK. He insisted that I
spend the night,

{\an8}which I assume is fine.

{\an8}He's so extra about me
being alone with the twins

{\an8}only a month out.

As he should be.

And, yes, of course.
Your room's all yours.

Thank you.

{\an8}Hey. Olivia.

{\an8}I didn't know you were in town.

{\an8}Yeah! Surprise visit.

{\an8}Staying just down
the hall from you.

{\an8}Nice. Um, I'll
take your bags up.

{\an8}[Cellphone chimes and vibrates]

{\an8}You know, it's all right.
I got my bags this far.

{\an8}Oh, no. It's, um,

{\an8}you're not carrying
any bags up those stairs.

{\an8}It's just, um...

{\an8}[Chuckles]
it's been a crazy week,

{\an8}and I got a friend that's
looking to unpack it all.

You're not looking to do that?

Just got a lot on my plate.

Mm. Maybe tell him that.

{\an8}It's a she, and, uh...

{\an8}sh... she just got here.

[Doorbell rings]

I thought you hated Cliff
because of what he said

about you and the Bakers.

I mean, I don't think
it was the time

or his place to share,

but it's not something
I'm ashamed of.

I think it's cool
you're a Baker.

It's like being
Beverly High royalty.

Uh, I'm a Jeremy, but, yes,

Coach J.B. is my cousin.

Anyway, the point is,

I think Cliff wants
the same thing I do,

which is my dad as head coach.

Which is more than I can say
for the rest of the team.

Hey! I'm on Coach Jeremy's
side. Always have been.

Bro, I told you that I'm
in your dad's corner, too.

But come on, man.

This is Jordan Baker
we're talking about.

All right, look, man,
let's just drop it,

all right?

Max, you wanna get a workout in,

burn off some nerves?

Workout? The showcase
is tomorrow.

Today's a rest and recovery day.

Nah, I need to finish strong.

Coleman?

Uh, where you gonna do it at?

The gym's off limits while
they get everything ready.

I don't know.
We can figure something out.

Coleman: Yeah, nah.
The cards are dealt.

It's gonna be
what it's gonna be.

If I were you, I'd
get you some whoo-saa,

focus on kicking a*s tomorrow.

Good advice.

Now, what's a whoo-saa?

Is that like, uh,
like foo foo or...?

Tori: I mean, after we all
found out what happened

at Dinsberg
between KJ and Amina,

I don't think it's
crazy out of pocket

for Miranda to feel
some type of way.

I'm not defending what happened.

Cheating.
That's what it is.

And I know they only
said it was a kiss,

but, um, they're clearly
OK with lying to us, so...

Look, I... I can't do this
right now.

Why? Because of Amina
or your boy KJ?

'Cause real life happened
in the last 24 hours.

No. You're right.

What Amina went through
with the frozen people

had to be hell.

And I'm glad she's
home and safe.

But how am I just
supposed to forget

what happened at dinner

and how she and KJ blew up
my relationship?

Tori, no... nobody's saying
you gotta forget.

I just think we all
could use a breather.

The showcase is tomorrow.

That's where my head's
gotta be at.

Does that include you taking
a breather from Miranda?

Who is Miranda?

Yo.

What's going on?

[Exhales]
A lot, it seems.

Mm.

KJ and Amina, huh?

Oh, yeah! Wow.

I nearly forgot about that

with everything that happened
at South Crenshaw yesterday.

Yeah. Well, Tori
certainly hasn't.

And who is Miranda?

Someone's enjoying
the teen drama.

Yeah. Well,
it's a lot more fun

when I'm not a part of it.

Turns out "Happily Married Liv"

is my favourite chapter so far.

Sounds nice.

[Chuckles softly]

[Sighs]

I know you and Jordan
have been feeling

a little distant.

Yeah, but it's not
really about Jordan.

Just like things are...

things are working
for him right now

and I'm happy for him,

but when it comes to me,

nothing feels settled.
I don't know.

Hmm. Does this have
anything to do

with that floral
Roc Nation offer?

Ohh. That's actually
the least of my worries.

Um, it's gonna sound silly

'cause it's... it's not
really that big a deal,

and, you know,
it's just a few days,

which in the scheme of things...

Hey, you do not have to downplay

your feelings with me.
You know that.

[Exhales]

Um, Elle wants me
to leave on tour sooner,

and it's just a few days,

but something with me
and Jordan feels uncertain,

and that all started

with me being gone so long
the last time.

That sounds serious.

I mean, I know you said
things were off,

but how bad is it?

Well, that's just it.
It's not bad.

You know, nothing is bad.

But when I try to think
about my future...

or our future, just
nothing feels quite right.

[Doorbell rings]

Damn. This house
is busy.

I can get it.
It's fine.

Too late.

Hi.

Hey.

KJ, uh, what you
doing here, bro?

Oh. I was just...

I was, uh...

just hoping to get
a last workout in

before tomorrow.

Beverly's not an option, so...

South Crenshaw's gym shut down

after yesterday's raid.

Tori, I... I just wanted
to tell you that...

KJ, I don't think
now's the time.

Khalil: Hey, you know what?
I... I got a spot, bro.

Yeah, let's, um...
[Clears throat]

Let's get a workout in.

I think it'll help us,
you know, clear our heads.

Tori: Um, I'm sorry.

I'll go and leave you
to your home in one sec.

I'd just rather not run
into them outside, so...

Of course, yeah.

Yeah, but you
also don't have to bolt.

I mean, we get it.

We were teen girls in
messy relationships once.

Layla: Yeah, we are
happy to listen

if you want to talk.

Um, I'm pretty sure I've
embarrassed myself enough

in this house
the past couple days.

Not at all.

Seriously. I'm fine.

It's nothing.

OK, Tori, I've been
here the whole time.

I know it's not nothing.

And full disclosure:

I basically tell Liv
everything, so...

I was, um, sorry to hear
about what happened

with KJ and Amina.

Getting cheated on sucks.

Wow. You really do
tell her everything.

[Chuckles]

Actually, you spilled
that part earlier

in your not-so-quiet
chat with Khalil.

Right. Of course.

So you've been cheated on?

Wait, why are you guys looking
at each other like that?

I, um, I kind of hooked up

with Layla's boyfriend
in high school.

Yeah, twice, actually.

Wait.
Asher and who else?

Spencer in Vegas.

OK, no, that was not cheating.

I just wasn't entirely honest.

Wait. Hold up.

Um, you dated Spencer James,
as in...?

Olivia's now-husband, yes.

Tori: Oh.
Olivia: Yeah.

So, you know, the point is

this house has seen its
fair share of drama

long before you
stepped foot in it.

So you have nothing
to be embarrassed about.

Tori: OK.
Layla: And who knows?

Maybe our past experience
might actually help.

Yes, but it is
a pretty long story,

um, and I'm starving,

so how do we feel about
having this conversation

over truffle fries?

Singer: ♪ OK, I tried ♪

♪ To be honest, babe... ♪

Olivia: OK, so I'm
fully in the wrong

when it comes to Asher,
but to really understand

what happened with Spencer,

we have to start
at the beginning.

And besides, I know
you like him.

No, I don't.

Olivia, I see the way
you look at him.

Yeah, kinda like the way
he looks at you?

Olivia: And even though she
knew I liked him...

[Chuckles]

Sorry.

I'm not.

Seriously. I was
right over there.

That's awful.

We didn't know she was there.

Anyway, um,

Spencer and I dated,

and a few months later,
I had a meltdown

not related to Spencer.

And then that summer,
we went to Vegas,

and Jordan had
a surprise wedding,

where Olivia and Spencer...

Wait. Jordan got married
in high school?

Layla: Yeah, kind of. Um...
Olivia: Well, no. He did.

I'm allowed to feel
a type of way about it.

OK. No, no.
Fair enough, fair enough.

OK, wait. But what Layla
was about to say was

later that night...

Spencer.

Singer: ♪ Guess I never learned
my lesson ♪

♪ If it's too good
to be true... ♪

♪ It is... ♪

I love you.

I ain't even sure
when it happened.

Maybe it was the night
I got shot or...

watching movies with you
all summer.

Or maybe it's been since
my first day at Beverly

and I just ain't realised it,
but I know now.

I'm in love with you.

Wait. That is...
so romantic.

Well, then...

Singer: ♪ My blue sky... ♪

In that same night?

Yeah, not his finest moment.

Layla: Or yours.
Olivia: No. He kissed me.

OK? And technically, you guys
were on a break, so...

Ohh, yeah. No, not my
finest moment either.

Mm-hmm.

But you guys are both
OK with all of that?

How? Like, seriously.

Well, it took some time,
but I just realised

my life was better
with Liv in it.

And in terms of Spencer,
eventually I realised

I wasn't really heartbroken,

just mad at him
for wasting my time.

Olivia: Well, actually,
that's kind of a good way

to look at it, you know?

Like, are you heartbroken,

or are you just mad
that KJ wasted your time?

I actually don't know.

I'm just angry.

I mean, he's been
blowing up my phone

since the breakup...

apologies on top of apologies,

and I'm just not
ready to hear it.

I'm not trying to punish
him or anything like that,

but I can't be the one

to make him feel better
about what he did.

That's totally fair.

And don't even get me
started on Saint Amina.

OK, I don't want to be that girl

that blames the other girl,

and I know she just put
herself on the line

and she's been selfless
and brave and all that,

but she kissed my boyfriend

and lied to my face about it.

Maybe that's the difference.

Amina and I were
never really close,

but no matter what,

you two were always friends.

Well, it wasn't
always that simple.

You let me pour
my heart out to you.

You gave me advice,
knowing you'd betrayed me.

I didn't want
to give you advice.

You begged me.

Because I thought I was
talking to my best friend,

not a treacherous b*tch.

Wow.

[Olivia sighs]

You got time for dessert?
[Chuckles]

KJ, it's me.

Look, I just sent you a text,

but I just got back from
the school board meeting,

and, honestly, I didn't have
to do much convincing at all.

But I got some good news
for you.

You and the team got
a showcase tomorrow,

so call me back.

Congratulations, Coach.

[Exhales]

What do you want, Cliff?

Just to remind you
that good news

doesn't fall from the sky.

See, the reason you didn't
have much convincing to do

is that I had already
done it for you.

So you've got me to thank
for the board's decision.

Well, me and your son.

Singer: ♪ 'Cause we're
having fun, yeah... ♪

Oh, my God.
That is so good.

-I told you.
-Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry.

Let me make sure
I have this straight.

Mm-hmm.

In addition to the infamous
fight at homecoming

where you called Olivia
"a treacherous b*tch"

after finding out
she slept with Asher,

you tried to have Layla
committed?

And this was all prior
to the Vegas shenanigans?

OK. For the record,

I had good intentions on
the whole committed thing.

And honestly,
I did need the help.

I just didn't see it
at the time, so...

I...

I can't believe you guys
are still friends

after all of that.

I can't even believe

you guys can sit in
the same room together.

Because it's worth it.

All the hurt, the mistakes,

none of it compares to what
Olivia's friendship

means to me now.

She is always there for me.

And then sometimes, like today,

she will physically appear
when I need her most.

[Chuckles]

Yeah. I'm glad that
works for you guys,

but, um, if that's what
I have to look forward to

being friends with Amina,
I'm good.

Well, how about KJ?

That relationship's over.

I meant your friendship.

I don't think it's possible
to get that back.

Well, we did.

I mean, look, you...

you and Amina were
never really friends, OK?

I get that.

But, I mean, you and KJ were
before you hooked up, right?

Sure. I was
KJ's first friend

when he came to Beverly.

And he helped me
get through a lot, too.

I don't think I ever
really believed

that he was the one
or anything like that,

but his friendship
meant a lot to me.

And I guess part of
that heartbreak is

realising that it didn't
mean that much to him.

Tori, it did.

How can you be so sure?

'Cause he told me himself.

He's my second cousin.
We talk.

Layla: Now, if that
friendship is worth saving

is up to you.

Yeah, it's still too fresh.

I get that, but, um,
just so you know,

someone who shows up
when you need them most,

it's worth it.

Thanks for the fries
and the perspective.

Seriously. You've given me
a lot to think about.

Layla: Mm-hmm.

OK. Bye.

Layla: Bye.
Olivia: Bye.

Yeah, she thinks
we're crazy crazy.

-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah. Yeah.

This cake, though, is...

So good.

Hey, can we meet up?

I wanna talk about this morning.

Gimme a call when you get this.

Singer: ♪ Through the trial
and error, I'mma still shine ♪

♪ No matter what life throw
at me, I'mma still grind ♪

♪ All my work got me feeling
like it's my time ♪

So you're really not
gonna tell me

what you and Tori
were talking about?

She mostly just wanted to
talk about me and Miranda.

Really? So she had nothing
to say about me?

Bro, don't...

don't do that.

It's just a question.

It's none of my business.

No, but it is mine. OK?

I messed up, and I know that.

But I just want her to know
that I am sorry.

But how can I tell her that
if she's not talking to me?

Bro, seriously, enough.

It's not the end of the world.

OK, but I'm just saying, man,

I want her to feel...

OK, look, hey, listen, 'cause
I'm only gonna say this once.

You're not a bad guy, KJ.

You made a mistake.
That's it.

So stop pressing

and stop trying
to make sure Tori's OK

'cause she will be,

but she don't need your
help trying to get there.

Bro, you got too much riding
on tomorrow's showcase

for you not to be locked in.

You know what, you...
you are absolutely right.

Yeah. My... my dad,
he just told me that

the school board's not
gonna suspend us,

so we are back in the showcase.

And actually, he... he
needed to talk to me.

So I should probably head out.

I'll drop you back off
at the Baker house.

Actually, I'm not ready
to head out just yet.

Why not?

Does this have something to do

with Coach JB
potentially leaving?

Look, I...

I know it's not
the same for you and me,

but, you know, if my dad
leaves, he's still my dad.

But if Coach JB leaves
South Crenshaw, he's...

I don't know. I just...

if you wanna talk about it...

For what? That's why
I'm focused on tomorrow.

Showcase is everything
right now.

That's why I gotta get
these offers or...

at least an offer locked in,

so no matter who comes in
as QB coach next season,

they can't mess it up.

Bet.

I'll see you there.

Ooh. My goodness.

[Sighs]

Is it weird that
we're still friends?

OK, well, this would be
really weird

if we weren't friends.

[Chuckling]
No. I mean just...

because of everything
that we've been through

because of each other.

Well, it's too late
to back out now.

[Chuckles]

[Exhales]

Look, I, uh...

[Inhales and exhales]

I know our friendship
was never perfect...

I mean the breakups

and... betrayals.

I mean, we...
we hurt each other.

But that's kind of the thing.

You know, when you're
as close as we are,

sometimes you're gonna collide

and you hurt the people
close enough to bruise you,

but we always showed up
for each other

when it counted.

But it worked, Dad.

You made a deal
with the devil, son.

You told me on your message

you barely had to do anything
to convince the school board.

Cliff got us back on that field.

What did you promise him
in return, hmm?

That I tell you to
hear him out. That is all.

And to tell you the truth, Dad,

I think you should

'cause right now,
you still have a shot

at keeping your job but only
if you make some moves,

'cause Jordan, he's gonna
give his answer tomorrow.

Your future is literally
in his hands.

Look, I know what Cliff is, OK?

But right now, sitting back
is just... it's not working.

I want you back as
my head coach next year.

You want it, too.

And I think Cliff wants
the same thing.

So what's it gonna hurt
to just hear him out?

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

I know you have an early
morning tomorrow.

I was out anyway.

And I promise
this isn't a setup.

Miranda's not working.

I was here earlier today.

I already know you wouldn't
do me like that.

You wanted to talk?

Uh, look,

I know today has been heavy

and I probably made
it worse this morning.

It's all good.

No, it's not.

I was reminded today

that real friends
show up for each other.

And that got me thinking about

how much you've shown up for me,

like really shown up.

You're a real friend, Khalil.

Singer: ♪ Breathing in

But this morning,

I wasn't a friend to you.

I was so caught up
in my own stuff that

I forgot what you were carrying.

But the thing is,

is you've earned this moment.

OK? The right to be locked in

but also to enjoy yourself.

So for whatever it's worth,
just know

you've got me in your corner.

I'm rooting for you

and the future that you
want for yourself.

And, Khalil, I know
I'm not the only one.

Oh.
[Chuckles]

Good to see you, Coach.

Cliff...

look, we got a big day tomorrow,

so I'm gonna keep this
brief, all right?

I appreciate everything

that you did with
the board, really,

but, uh, I got it from here.

[Chuckles]

I didn't do it out of
friendship, Coach.

I did it because Jordan Baker's

in the driver's seat,

and I don't like that
current arrangement.

And who should be
driving? You?

Ohh. Well,
I was gonna say "us,"

but if you want to be
blunt about it.

Not that it
really matters anyway,

because we both
want the same thing.

I didn't want you airing
out my family business

for clout with the boosters.

No. But you want
to stay on here

as head coach at Beverly,

and I have a plan
to make that happen.

I just need to know that
you're onboard.

You know, I think
I let Spencer off

a little too easily
for that Vegas weekend.

Well, if I learned
anything from today,

it is that no one should
really be held accountable

for the idiotic things
they did in high school.

Mm.

[Chuckles]

And, you know, even Vegas
had a silver lining.

How's that?

Well...

Spencer told you that
he loved you,

and in a way, it was
kind of the beginning

of me and Jordan.

OK, but he had, like,
literally just married Simone.

I don't mean that
we got together,

just, like, you know,
in the fallout

of everyone learning
about what happened,

he made space for me.

Hey, Layla.

Hey.

Hey. You OK?

Uh, yeah. I just forgot
my wallet. I'm fine.

Singer: ♪ Holding it in is
tasting like blood... ♪

Look, Jordan, I don't
want to put you

in the middle of it.
She's your sister.

And you're my friend.

I take it things didn't
go great with Liv?

Uh, yeah, not exactly.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologise,
Jordan. I'm OK.

Honestly, I'm just...

I'm just tired of the lies
and everyone thinking

I'm not mentally stable
enough to handle anything.

I should go.

For the record, Layla,

you're one of the strongest
people I know.

Never doubted it.

Thanks.

Jordan: Yeah.

That was the moment that
I really saw him...

saw the man he was becoming.

And so what are you
gonna do about

what's going on
between you guys now?

Oh, in the next week and a half?

I'm serious.

So am I.

[Inhales]

I think a big part of
the problem is

the future is unclear.

Maybe that's why I'm
having trouble

figuring myself out.

I don't know.

But what I do know is
that Jordan is

so close to realising
his dreams,

and I am just... I'm staying
focused on that.

Yeah, but also just focusing
on Jordan isn't an answer.

It's a stall.

And you should be
prioritising yourself, Lay.

I'm not. I just mean, like,

Doesn't that terrify you?

Yeah. Of course I'm scared.

I mean, it'll change in ways
I can't even imagine,

but that's... that's kind of
part of the deal.

You know, family is...

fear and joy tied
together, you know,

but I'm... I'm gonna
choose joy.

You know, one day at time,

I'm gonna choose joy
for me and for my family.

Yeah. It just feels like
I'm so wrapped up

in making sure that Jordan
and I are functional

to even think about joy.

And why do you think that is?

Because functional
feels like a victory

when we've spent
so much time apart.

Let him be scared with you,

Fail a test, you're

Tamper with results,

Lifetime ban...

What does that have
to do with me?

Well, you? Nothing.

But Baker, on the other hand...

[Chuckles]

Jordan Baker failed
a drug test his junior year.

And he, with the help of
his father, covered it up.

You're sure?

I mean, you got proof?

I am sure,
but I don't need proof.

Jordan's not his father.
He's a Boy Scout.

Once these accusations
are put forth,

he won't deny them.

And once London's lost
his leading candidate,

the job will be all yours.

You're up late.

So are you.

Wanted to, um, see you
before tomorrow.

Look, Khalil, you
don't have to talk,

but I need you
to hear something.

Being with Liv today
reminded me that

I learned love in this house,

learned what it means
to be family.

And it's not a fairy tale.

It isn't perfect.

It's a journey
with one constant...

the people that are
there for you

no matter what.

It doesn't matter if
Jordan is your coach or not,

you are our family.

And the people in this house
will show up for you

no matter what.

So whatever happens tomorrow,

we'll figure it out together.

OK.

[Olivia moaning]

Layla?

Liv?

Olivia, what's wrong?

[Gasping]

Ohh. It's too early.

I think I'm having
a contraction,

but it's too early, and I
can't get hold of Spencer.

Olivia, I... I think
you're bleeding.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. It's too early.

Let's get you over to the couch.

[Moans]

Over here.
This is fine.

[Inhaling and exhaling]

Dispatcher: 911.
What's your emergency?

Yes. Um, my... my friend,
she... she's pregnant.

Uh, she's... she's bleeding.

I'm 32 weeks' with twins.
It's too early.

Dispatcher: Sir, I'm going to
need to speak with her directly,

but I need you to do
everything you can

to keep her calm.
Do you understand?

Yes, ma'am.

Dispatcher: What's her name?
Khalil: Olivia.

Dispatcher: Good.
Now put Olivia on the phone.

The ambulance is on the way.

Hey, they want to talk to you.

Hi.

No. I thought I was having
Braxton Hicks contractions,

but I'd say it lasted
about a minute.

Have a great day.
[Cellphone vibrating]

Hey. Where are you?

Coach, it's your sister.

I was coming downstairs, and...

I... I think she's
having contractions.

Coach, she's bleeding.

What?

Yeah, yeah. I think she's
going into early labor.

You gotta get here now.

No.

No, no, no, no.

No, no.

Cassius: What the hell?

[Moaning]

Voice of Layla: And the people
in this house

will show up for you
no matter what.

Dispatcher:
On a scale of 1 to 10,

what would you say your pain is,



and 10 being
the worst pain imaginable?

Oh, my God. I certainly
don't want to imagine

anything worse, but an 8.

[Inhaling and exhaling]

Oh, my God.

Thank God that's over.
How far is the ambulance?

They are on their way, ma'am,

but we need you to be prepared
for the possibility that

these babies may have
to be delivered at home.

What? No, no, no. No.

No, no, no.
That's not happening.

Dispatcher: Your contractions
are 4 minutes apart,

about one minute duration.

That is considered active labor,

and we need to be prepared.

Hey, we're getting
everything together.

Dispatcher:
What was that, sir?

We're getting everything
together now...

water, clean blankets,
scissors, sterile gloves.

No, no...

Only if we need it, OK?

But for now, just breathe
with me, all right?

All right.

OK, OK, just...

promise me... promise me

you're gonna find Spencer, OK?

Promise me.

I don't want to
do this alone, OK?

Hey, you won't.
I promise.

OK.

[Khalil exhales]
Just breathe.

OK. OK.

Greg, move your head.
