All American

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.

- Wait. What? - Yo, man, face down.

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. - What, you're saying

someone pranked the cops into coming here?

Why? Just a Halloween party.

- Nothing's been confirmed. - 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.

Man, my bad, you guys.

Why? Us getting swatted

had nothing to do with you, bruh.

Oh.

Thank god you guys are ok. You're good?

Yeah, yeah.

Hi, honey.

- Uh, where's Jordan? - Layla needed fresh air.

- He went with her. - You ok, baby?

Yeah. I'm just pissed more than anything.

- How did this happen? - 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. - 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.

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. - 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. 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.

- What? No! This... - Olivia, this isn't

a story anymore; This is a criminal investigation now.

In the meantime, I don't think it's a good idea

for you girls to stay here alone. Yeah.

Y'all can stay with us at the beach house for a few days.

I'm gonna stay with my parents.

Seriously, you didn't have to walk me in.

Uh, I kinda feel like I did,

especially after tonight.

- So, Layla, I was... - So... oh.

- My bad. You first. Go ahead. - It's... it's all you.

Look, what I said

to you at the party tonight...

- I meant every word. - 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.

Ah, oh, look at Spence,

out here siloed in his peaceful cocoon.

Man, I'm just doing everything I can to bounce back from last night,

get my head in the right place before tomorrow's big homecoming game.

but I'm pretty sure this song right here ain't it.

Heh! That's g.A.U.'S fight song, easily.

The worst construction of instruments,

- lyrics, and, uh, talent. - Please.

Music died for a few years when they made coastal's fight song.

Maybe it's time to put your money where your cleats are.

- I'm down. What you thinking? - Hmm.

Whoever wins homecoming,

the loser has to not only wear

the winner's Jersey, but you got to walk

around campus a whole day,

singing their fight song, loud as hell.

Say less. I'm down.

Ok, bet. Ha ha ha!

Yo, you good?

- Yeah. Why? - Hey, I'm just checking.

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.

- Now, Spence, what you're doing is deflecting. - Coop,

- I'm good, for real. - Even after Liv chose

to stay with her parents instead of here?

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. 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,

to homecoming, to y'all's relationship?

- Hey, sweetheart. - 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.

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

for the both of you with his hourly check-ins,

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.

- Friends? - Yes, friends.

Turning formonica records into a super-label

- is my only focus right now. - Ok, I will

- officially mind my business. - Thank you.

Just remember what I said about using your work to hide

from a good thing that scares you, all right?

- Mm-hmm. - Anyways, I should get going, but listen, there is, uh,

something I want to run by you, but I just need, like,

a day or two to finish ironing out a few things.

- Ok, yeah, cool. Just let me know. - Cool. I love you.

Look, um, my apologies.

First things first. Spence, are you good?

- Yeah, all good. What's up? - Look, as you both know,

your mother is a-an amazing woman.

She's the best thing that's happened to me in a long time.

Full disclosure... I can't see my life without her, so...

With both of your blessings,

I would like to make her an honest woman.

Wait. How is she not an honest woman?

No, that's the o.G. Way of saying he wants to propose... right?

Right. 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,

but y-your mom and I are grown.

We can definitely make the long-distance thing work.

So what do you guys think?

We signed off on you months ago, man. Oh, my god.

- Ha ha! - 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?

Dude, it's confusing. We're gonna get you right, though.

With moms, it's the three f's...

- Food, flowers, and... - Freddie Jackson.

- Ok. - Heh heh!

I... I like Freddie Jackson. Ok.

Mmm.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

This food... man, this food is amazing.

Yeah, it's my take on tri-tip hash.

Wow. Ok, you got a new job,

now you a... You a whole new chef?

I love that, I love that.

Look, Patience, about last night...

I mean, what are we doing?

I don't know...
