MAN: LET'S GO!
I WANT THIS GROUP MOVED IN TIGHTER!
LET'S GO, NOW!
MOVE HIM UP FRONT WITH THIS GROUP.
I WANT HIM BACK!
LET'S GO, LET'S GO. COME ON, MOVE.
WE RECEIVED A 9-1-1 CALL THAT THERE WAS
A SLASHER PARTY HAPPENING AT THIS ADDRESS TONIGHT.
ASHER: WAIT. WHAT? SPENCER: YO, MAN, FACE DOWN.
OFFICER: ACCORDING TO THIS CALLER, THERE'S
A PERSON OF INTEREST THREATENING PEOPLE WITH A KNIFE,
PUTTING MULTIPLE LIVES AT RISK!
I--I'M THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY THREW THE PARTY,
OFFICER, BUT IT'S NOT A SLASHER PARTY, I SWEAR.
YOU GUYS DON'T SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WE'RE BEING SWATTED. LAYLA: WHAT, YOU'RE SAYING
SOMEONE PRANKED THE COPS INTO COMING HERE?
JORDAN: WHY? JUST A HALLOWEEN PARTY.
MAN: NOTHING'S BEEN CONFIRMED. MAN 2: SERGEANT?
UNTIL NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WAIT. THAT COP JUST SIGNALED THAT THE BACK WAS ALL CLEAR,
SO WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO, RIGHT?
- WE'RE DONE WHEN I SAY WE'RE DONE. - LAST I CHECKED,
NO-KNOCK WARRANTS WERE ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA.
YOU DIDN'T PROPERLY ANNOUNCE YOURSELF BEFORE ENTERING.
I'M PRETTY SURE ONE OF MY FRIENDS GOT THAT ON CAMERA IF YOU NEED PROOF.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL YOUR BOSS
'CAUSE I'M CALLING MINE.
[SIGHS]
[JJ SIGHS]
MAN, MY BAD, YOU GUYS.
WHY? US GETTING SWATTED
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, BRUH.
[JJ SIGHS] BILLY: OH.
THANK GOD YOU GUYS ARE OK. YOU'RE GOOD?
OLIVIA: YEAH, YEAH.
LAURA: HI, HONEY.
BILLY: UH, WHERE'S JORDAN? OLIVIA: LAYLA NEEDED FRESH AIR.
HE WENT WITH HER. GRACE: YOU OK, BABY?
YEAH. I'M JUST PISSED MORE THAN ANYTHING.
BILLY: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? PATIENCE: I DON'T KNOW,
BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR COOP,
WE WOULD STILL BE FACE-DOWN ON THE FLOOR.
GUESS WORKING FOR MRS. BAKER'S PAYING OFF.
SHE PUSHED HARD TO END THOSE NO-KNOCK WARRANTS.
I CAN NEVER FORGET THAT. LAURA: OK, THE COPS ARE TRACING
THE CALL, SO WE SHOULD HEAR SOMETHING SOON.
YEAH, WELL, WHEN WE DO, I'M PRETTY SURE WADE WATERS' NAME WILL COME UP.
BILLY: WHY WADE? WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS KID?
ALL NIGHT, SOMEONE HAS BEEN CALLING ME FROM THIS UNKNOWN NUMBER,
AND THEN RIGHT AFTER SWAT ARRIVED, I GOT A TEXT WITH A DEVIL EMOJI.
THAT'S WADE. LAURA: HONEY, ARE YOU SURE?
YES! HE'S TRYING TO SHAKE ME UP
BECAUSE I DUG INTO HIS PAST FOR MY N.I.L. ARTICLE.
- WAIT, I THOUGHT YOU SCRAPPED THAT ARTICLE. - WELL, HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT,
AND I FOUND OUT SOME CRAZY STUFF ABOUT HIM IN HIGH SCHOOL,
LIKE SOME MESSED-UP BULLYING. SPENCER: ALL RIGHT, LOOK, IT'S LATE,
AND WE ALL JUST HAD GUNS POINTED AT OUR HEADS FOR WHAT FELT LIKE A LIFETIME.
MRS. BAKER SAID THEY TRACING THE CALL, SO LET'S JUST
TAKE A BEAT AND WAIT ON WHATEVER EVIDENCE.
OLIVIA: WHAT? NO! THIS-- LAURA: OLIVIA, THIS ISN'T
A STORY ANYMORE; THIS IS A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION NOW.
BILLY: IN THE MEANTIME, I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA
FOR YOU GIRLS TO STAY HERE ALONE. SPENCER: YEAH.
Y'ALL CAN STAY WITH US AT THE BEACH HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS.
OLIVIA: I'M GONNA STAY WITH MY PARENTS.
[CHUCKLING] SERIOUSLY, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WALK ME IN.
UH, I KINDA FEEL LIKE I DID,
ESPECIALLY AFTER TONIGHT.
SO, LAYLA, I WAS-- LAYLA: SO--OH.
- MY BAD. YOU FIRST. GO AHEAD. - IT'S--IT'S ALL YOU.
[BOTH CHUCKLE] JORDAN: LOOK, WHAT I SAID
TO YOU AT THE PARTY TONIGHT--
I MEANT EVERY WORD. LAYLA: JORDAN--
PLEASE, JUST... HEAR ME OUT?
TONIGHT REMINDED ME THAT LIFE IS TOO SHORT,
OK? AND I DON'T WANT TO WASTE A SECOND OF IT.
I WANT TO BE PRESENT, I WANT US TO BE PRESENT,
LAUGHING, CONNECTING, PUSHING EACH OTHER TO--
TO FIND THE BEST PART OF OURSELVES.
BUT W-WE ARE DOING THAT AS FRIENDS.
OK, BUT I WANT MORE.
JORDAN, UM...I TRIED
THE "MORE THAN FRIENDS" THING WITH CLAY, AND I ENDED UP HURTING HIM.
- YEAH, BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT. - I DATED ASHER AND SPENCER.
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T BE THE GIRL THAT DATES EVERYONE IN THE VORTEX.
OK, I HEAR YOU, AND THAT IS TOTALLY VALID,
OK, BUT FORGET ABOUT THE VORTEX FOR A SECOND.
TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL ABOUT ME, ABOUT US.
I FEEL, UM...
LUCKY BECAUSE...
I FOUND A BEST FRIEND WHERE I LEAST EXPECTED TO,
AND...I DON'T WANT TO SCREW THAT UP.
RIGHT.
BEST--BEST FRIEND.
YEAH.

[JJ CHUCKLES]
YO, YOU GOOD?

OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO GOT SWATTED LAST NIGHT,
WE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SHOT.
I MEAN, LAST NIGHT HIT A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR ME.
I JUST--I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE FOR YOU, TOO.
IT DID, BUT THAT WAS LAST NIGHT.
RIGHT NOW, I'M FOCUSED ON HOMECOMING.

I'M GOOD, FOR REAL. COOP: EVEN AFTER LIV CHOSE

THINGS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE OFF
WITH ME AND LIV LATELY, BUT WE WORKING ON IT,
AND IF STAYING WITH HER PARENTS IS WHAT SHE WANTS,
THEN I GOTTA TRUST SHE'S MAKING THE RIGHT CALL. WHAT? WHAT?
NOTHING. IT'S JUST YOU'RE COMPARTMENTALIZING,
AND I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY. SPENCER: IT'S NOT THAT.
I'M JUST PROMISING MYSELF I'MMA STOP PLAYING SUPERHERO
TO EVERYBODY AND FOCUS ON ME.
LOOK, I GOTTA BOUNCE. I'LL HOLLA AT YOU.
HEY, HEY, REAL QUICK.
WHAT IF LIV IS RIGHT, ALL RIGHT?
WHAT IF WADE IS BEHIND THE SWATTING?
YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS THEN,

JP: HEY, SWEETHEART. LAYLA: HEY.
SO, UH, JORDAN WAS RIGHT.
- ABOUT? - UH, NOT GETTING YOU BREAKFAST.
HE SAID IT WOULD BE WISE FOR ME TO NOT GET
BETWEEN YOU AND THAT BURRITO.
[CHUCKLES] LAYLA: UH, WELL, YOU--
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO JORDAN FOR THAT; YOU COULDA JUST ASKED ME.
YEAH, WELL, I TRIED, BUT YOUR PHONE JUST KEPT GOING TO VOICEMAIL.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU DOING OK, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY, DAD; JORDAN IS DOING THAT ENOUGH

DESPITE OUR...
HEY, IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN YOU TWO?
BETWEEN ME AND JORDAN?
NO, NO. WE'RE JUST, UH, WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.

- MM-HMM. - ANYWAYS, I SHOULD GET GOING, BUT LISTEN, THERE IS, UH,

CARTER: RIGHT. DILLON: WAIT. AREN'T YOU MOVING TO OAKLAND?
YES, AND--AND, DILLON, I--I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLICATES THINGS
BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR MOM MAY NOT BE READY TO LEAVE CRENSHAW,

WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE THE LONG-DISTANCE THING WORK.
SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
[DILLON AND SPENCER LAUGH]
SPENCER: WE SIGNED OFF ON YOU MONTHS AGO, MAN. CARTER: OH, MY GOD.
SPENCER: HA HA! CARTER: OH. OK.
LISTEN, HEY,
AND I KNOW MOMS CAN'T SEE A FUTURE WITHOUT YOU.
I JUST GOT ONE REQUEST, THOUGH--
YEAH, DON'T SAY THE "HONEST WOMAN" THING WHEN I--WHEN I PROPOSE?
DILLON: DUDE, IT'S CONFUSING. SPENCER: WE'RE GONNA GET YOU RIGHT, THOUGH.
WITH MOMS, IT'S THE THREE F's--

HEY, COACH.
AW, YOU COMING FOR MY JOB NOW, KING?
- COACH. COACH, WHAT UP? - HEH! WHAT'S UP?
LOOK, I BEEN GOING OVER OUR ROUTE CONCEPTS FOR THE GAME, RIGHT?
WE GOT SOME MISMATCHES TO EXPLOIT,
LIKE THIS GOT TO BE AN OUT-AND-UP--
MAN, YO. MAN, GIVE ME THE TOP.
HA HA HA! [SPENCER SCOFFS]
WHAT'S UP, MAN?
YOU WORRIED ABOUT PLAYING AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS TOMORROW, HUH?
WE WENT THROUGH SOME CRAZY STUFF TOGETHER LAST NIGHT, MAN.
THEM BOYS IS MY FAMILY.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT GONNA BE THE LAST TIME YOU PLAY AGAINST FAMILY.
LOOK, ON GAME DAY,
THE ONLY FAMILY YOU GOT
ARE THE ONES YOU SHARE THE SIDELINES WITH.
YES, SIR.
DISTANT PLAYER: HEY, THAT'S RIGHT!
SPENCER: WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON WADE? KENNY: HMM.
MY TAKE DON'T MATTER.
IT MATTERS TO ME.
LONG AS WADE FOLLOWS THE RULES,
I'VE GOT TO LIKE HIM, BUT...
IF THERE WAS EVER A BLACK SHEEP IN THE FAMILY...
YEAH, THAT'D BE HIM.
[KNOCK ON DOOR, ASHER HUMS]
MONTES: WOW!
- HEY. - THIS PLACE IS SWANKY!
HOW MUCH ARE WE PAYING YOU, ADAMS?
UH...COACH, WHAT--WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, SIR?
I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I THOUGHT I'D STOP BY, OFFER YOU A RIDE TO PRACTICE.
UH...I--
I MEAN, I HAVE A CAR, BUT...
UH, YEAH, YEAH. UH, SURE.
YES, SIR. MONTES: OK. LET'S GO.
WADE: HEY, WHAT'S UP, GUYS? THIS IS MY LAST HOMECOMING GAME,
SO THIS ONE HITS EXTRA-HARD, AND I WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT-OUT
TO MY O-LINE RIGHT HERE. [PLAYERS CLAMOR AND LAUGH]
YO, MAN, THEY KEEP ME CLEAN, AND THAT IS WHY THEY CALL ME
"LO INTOCABLE"-- "THE UNTOUCHABLE."
PLAYER: LO INTOCABLE! OLIVIA: EL! EL INTOCABLE--
OH, MY GOD. I CAN'T WITH THIS GUY.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO LISTEN TO THAT.
IT HAS BEEN A FULL DAY AND THERE'S STILL NOTHING.
I MEAN, WADE'S CLEARLY INTOCABLE WHEN IT COMES TO CRIMES, TOO.
- THESE THINGS TAKE TIME. - DO YOU EVEN THINK WADE IS GUILTY?
- I DO. - REALLY?
ABSOLUTELY, BECAUSE YOU SAID IT.
THANK YOU! WHY CAN'T IT BE THAT EASY FOR SPENCER?
[SIGHS] BECAUSE I'M YOUR FATHER, SWEETHEART.
I CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO BELIEVE YOU,
AND THE SITUATION'S A BIT MORE COMPLICATED WHEN IT COMES TO SPENCE.
WADE IS ON HIS TEAM; HE ALREADY CAME FOR HIM ONCE, SOLELY
BASED ON YOUR WORD, AND-- OLIVIA: WHEN I WAS WRONG. I KNOW.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH] LAURA: NOT THIS TIME.
THE COPS TRACED THE PHONE CALL BACK TO WADE'S CELLPHONE.
YOU SEE? I KNEW IT! SO WHAT'S NEXT?
GARRETT: WADE... YOU GOTTA GO WITH THEM, SON.
WADE: WHY? WHAT'S GOING ON? OFFICER: WADE WATERS, YOU'RE
UNDER ARREST FOR SWATTING. WADE: YOU SERIOUS? COME ON.
OFFICER: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. ANYTHING YOU SAY...
WADE: YO, IT WAS THEIR PARTY! LOOK, I WASN'T EVEN THERE! THOSE TWO SET ME UP!
OFFICER: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY... WADE: YO, THEY SET ME UP!
HEY, WE GOTTA TALK TO 'EM, MAN.
JORDAN: OK, AND SAY WHAT? SPENCER: J.,
YOU ARE QB1, AND YOU NEED 'EM BEHIND YOU.
START WITH THE TRUTH. COME ON.
YEAH.
AHEM. HEY, GUYS, UH, REAL--REAL QUICK.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE ALL WONDERING WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON.
LAST NIGHT, WADE HAD ME AND MY FRIENDS SWATTED--
ROOMFUL OF COPS, GUNS POINTED AT OUR HEADS, OK?
IT WAS CRAZY, IT WAS MESSED UP, AND-- PLAYER: YO, CAP.
I WAS WITH WADE LAST NIGHT. AIN'T NO WAY HE HAD Y'ALL SWATTED.
JORDAN: THE COPS TRACED THE CALL BACK TO WADE'S PHONE, ROMEO.
LIKE THE COPS CAN'T FAKE EVIDENCE TO MAKE YOUR MOMS HAPPY.
GOT TO ADMIT IT, MAN. YOU'RE JUST MAD
YOU AIN'T GETTING NO RUN, SO YOU HAD HIM SET UP.
ME--ME AND MY FRIENDS, WE COULD HAVE DIED LAST NIGHT! YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
[PLAYERS MURMUR] SPENCER: YO! YO!
LISTEN, LISTEN, EMOTIONS ARE HIGH,
BUT WE GOT A BIG GAME TO PREPARE FOR, Y'ALL.
WE GOTTA GET ON THE SAME PAGE, FIND A WAY
TO RISE ABOVE THE CHAOS AND BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER,
ON AND OFF THAT FIELD!
WE GOT TO UNITE, AS A FAMILY.
ROMEO: YOU'RE RIGHT. IT IS ABOUT FAMILY,
BUT YOU AND J. CHOSE YOUR OTHER FAMILY.
OLIVIA BAKER, THE REPORTER WHO SNITCHED ON WADE,
IS JORDAN'S SISTER AND SPENCER'S GIRLFRIEND.
PLAYER: YEAH. PLAYER 2: NAH. PLAYER 3: WHAT?

AND I'VE ALREADY PICKED OUT A FEW REDS THAT WOULD GO VERY NICELY--
LOOK, I SLEPT WITH PATIENCE LAST NIGHT.
IT KINDA JUST HAPPENED,
AND WE'RE GONNA GIVE OUR THING ANOTHER TRY.
I JUST FIGURED YOU SHOULD KNOW.
WOW.
YOU ARE SUCH A COWARD.
YOU'RE REALLY THAT SCARED OF HOW I MAKE YOU FEEL
THAT YOU'RE GONNA GO BACK TO SOMETHING YOU ALREADY KNOW DOESN'T WORK?
- NO, SKYE, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT-- - I KNOW YOU AND PATIENCE HAVE THE HISTORY, YES,
AND I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE HER, BUT...
CAN YOU HONESTLY TELL ME THAT YOU'RE STILL IN LOVE WITH HER?
ASHER: AS OF LATELY, SPENCER'S BEEN DOING MOST OF HIS DAMAGE IN THE SLOT.
YEAH, I KNOW. THEY LIKE TO EXPLOIT
THOSE MISMATCHES AGAINST LINEBACKERS.
TRUE, TRUE, BUT I LIKE OUR CHANCES WITH JJ ON HIM.
I MEAN, HE PLAYED WITH AND AGAINST SPENCER PLENTY IN HIGH SCHOOL.
HE KNOWS HIS TENDENCIES,
BUT YOU KNEW THAT ALREADY.
YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHY YOU REALLY OFFERED ME A RIDE, COACH?
WE BOTH KNOW THAT THERE ARE CLOSER BEACHES TO YOUR HOUSE.
OK. I HAD HEARD ABOUT THE SWATTING.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE ALL RIGHT,
THAT IT DIDN'T MESS WITH YOUR HEAD TOO MUCH.
'CAUSE YOU NEED ME FOCUSED FOR THE GAME.
'CAUSE YOU'RE A GOOD KID, AND I WAS WORRIED.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES]
THANK YOU.
AH. LOOKS LIKE YOUR BOY IS UP.
JORDAN BAKER'S NOW THE STARTING QB FOR TOMORROW'S GAME.
WAIT. REALLY?
WOW.

HAVE BEEN ROUGH FOR ALL OF US.
HE COULD USE THIS GOOD NEWS. MONTES: NOW,
I NEED TO KNOW ALL YOU KNOW ON JORDAN.
LOOK, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO BREAK A BRO CODE HERE.
I JUST NEED THE BASICS.
STILL GOT A GAME TO WIN HERE, ADAMS.
[SIGHING]
[SIGHS] HEY. I LEFT YOU, LIKE, A DOZEN MESSAGES.
[KISS]
I JUST NEEDED A MINUTE.
[CLEARS THROAT] SPENCER: OK.
YOU KNOW THINGS GO SIDEWAYS WITH US REAL FAST WHEN WE'RE
NOT COMMUNICATING. I THOUGHT WE AGREED ON THAT.
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT WADE.
YEAH.
YEAH, WELL, THAT'S WHY I TRIED TO CALL.
STUFF'S KINDA CRAZY WITH THE TEAM RIGHT NOW,
BUT AT LEAST HIS ASS IS IN JAIL, RIGHT?
THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
'CAUSE I SAW YOUR FACE WHEN I FIRST SAID
THAT IT WAS HIM, AND YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.
- NO, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE. - HMM.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MORE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER, LIV,
BUT LATELY ALL YOU DO IS HIDE STUFF FROM ME:
THE PRANK CALLS, YOU STILL DIGGING INTO WADE'S PAST--
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY BLAMING ME RIGHT NOW?
I'M NOT BLAMING YOU, LIV, I'M KEEPING IT A BUCK.
WE ARE A TEAM. IN THE BEGINNING, I TOLD YOU
I WILL ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK.
I CAN'T DO THAT WITH YOU PUTTING DISTANCE BETWEEN US.
WELL, I HAD TO BECAUSE I--
I COULD FEEL ME LOSING MYSELF
AND DOUBTING MY INSTINCTS.
- WHAT, AND THAT'S MY FAULT? - NO, SPENCER, IT'S JUST A FACT.
BEFORE WE GOT SWATTED,
YOU, UH...
YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO PRETEND.
WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THAT?
YOU'VE BEEN PRETENDING WITH ME?
LIV.
- I LOVE YOU. - I LOVE YOU, TOO--
OLIVIA: MMM. HMM. [SPENCER'S BREATH TREMBLES]
THESE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS
HAVE BEEN REALLY HARD.
I CAN'T, WITH THE ARGUING
IN THIS ENDLESS LOOP EVERY DAY.
I CAN'T, WITH THE WALKING ON EGGSHELLS
AROUND EACH OTHER'S DREAMS BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT
IS JUST, LIKE, PULLING US IN OPPOSING DIRECTIONS.
IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD.
IT JUST SHOULDN'T.
SO BECAUSE IT'S HARD, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT NO MORE?
- I DIDN'T SAY THAT. - THEN WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I DON'T KNOW!
BUT SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE.
I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS.
[TEXT ALERT VIBRATES]
[SPENCER SIGHS, OLIVIA SCOFFS]
WADE WAS JUST CLEARED OF ALL THE CHARGES,
SO...THERE'S THAT.
BILLY: OH, COME ON, LAURA! ARE YOU FOR REAL?
LAURA: THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH SWATTING, IS THAT IF NOBODY'S HARMED,
THE PERSON THAT CALLED IT IN GETS OFF WITH A MISDEMEANOR, AT BEST.
AND I'M JUST SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT THAT? MY KIDS WERE IN THAT HOUSE!
LAURA: HELLO! THEY'RE MY KIDS, TOO! OLIVIA: OK, JORDAN SAID
THAT WADE WOULD PROBABLY GET HIS SPOT BACK IN THE HOMECOMING GAME.
IS THAT TRUE? BILLY: I MEAN, IT'S UP TO GARRETT, BUT YEAH.
SO HIS ASS JUST GETS TO ROAM FREE
WITH NO CONSEQUENCE? LAURA: LIV, LANGUAGE.
GOLDEN ANGELES IS ABOUT TO LET THE PERSON WHO JUST TRIED
TO KILL ME AND MY FRIENDS PLAY IN A GAME LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED,
AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT MY LANGUAGE? BILLY: HEY, HEY,
ARE YOU--ARE YOU OK? OLIVIA: I'M NOT OK!
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS JUST FALLING APART:
MY JOURNALISM CAREER, THIS--THIS WADE STUFF, ME AND SPENCER--
ALL RIGHT, OK. SWEETHEART, YOU'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A LOT.
IT'S GONNA BE OK, AND WHATEVER YOU AND SPENCER
ARE GOING THROUGH, IT'S JUST AN ADJUSTMENT.
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH.
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? LOOK, LET'S GO FOR A RIDE, ALL RIGHT?
NOW, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SPENCE THING, BUT--
BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WADE.
[DISTANT DOG BARKS]
GRACE: IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PLAYING WITH WADE
AND YOU CHOOSE TO SIT OUT, I SUPPORT THAT.
DILLON: YEAH, ME, TOO. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TEACH HIM A LESSON.
NO. I'MMA RIDE IT OUT.
I'VE GOT OTHER TEAMMATES I NEED TO SHOW UP FOR.
HOW'S LIV TAKING ALL OF THIS?
THINK LIV NEEDS SOME SPACE.
SHOOT. MAYBE I DO, TOO.
I JUST DON'T WANT HER FEELING LIKE SHE NEEDS TO COMPROMISE
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO HER TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME.

AFTER EVERYTHING HE DID.
THAT BOY IS A TICKING TIME BOMB,
AND IF HE CONTINUES TO GO UNCHECKED, HE'S
GONNA PUT THE REST OF YOUR TEAM IN DANGER,
INCLUDING MY BOYS, AND I CAN'T HAVE THAT.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE A GAME TO PREPARE FOR.
ARE YOU AWARE
THAT WADE BULLIED ONE OF HIS TEAMMATES SO BAD
IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT HE TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE?
MULTIPLE TIMES.
WADE'S PARENTS PAID FOR THEIR SILENCE.
THAT'S WHY WADE SWATTED US.
HE'S SCARED THAT I'M GONNA EXPOSE THAT,
WHICH I STILL PLAN ON DOING, BUT IT'S FUNNY HOW EASILY
I WAS ABLE TO DIG UP STUFF THAT HAPPENED OVER 4 YEARS AGO,
AND THEN SOMEHOW THIS UNIVERSITY WAS JUST TOTALLY UNAWARE.
BILLY: YEAH, THAT MAKES YOU WONDER HOW MUCH YOU AND THIS ADMINISTRATION
HAVE OVERLOOKED FOR THE SAKE OF THIS PROGRAM.
MY DAUGHTER'S NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S GONNA KEEP DIGGING AND DIGGING.
I'MMA TELL OTHERS WHO DO IT, TOO, AND YOU CAN BET THEY'RE GONNA
KEEP BREATHING RIGHT ON DOWN YOUR NECK
UNTIL WADE IS OFFICIALLY OFF THIS TEAM.
NO NEED. YOU'RE RIGHT.
I HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR THE OTHER BOYS ON MY TEAM.
