—-The Next Day After The Game In Crenshaw—-

Spencer and Madison came back to Crenshaw after their game last night and Spencer walks out of his room to see Dillion and Madison at the table eating food talking.

"Oh, wait." Dillion said because Spencer tried to grab the juice.

"What?" Spencer said as Dillion picked up the juice.

"Just make sure to be careful. Don't want you fumbling the juice." Dillion said and Madison laughed as Spencer snatched the juice from Dillion.

"You got jokes this morning, huh?" Spencer said

"That one was good D." Madison said and gave him a high-five.

"Tension breaker. Had to be done." Dillion said

"Hey, look, I got something for you." Spencer said handing Dillion a comic book out of his book bag.

"No way!" Dillion said

"You like that?" Spencer said

"Hey Spence you got something for me and that bag too or is this just a favorites thing." Madison said

"Yeah this is pretty much just a favorites thing." Spencer said sarcastically.

"Wow." Madison said sarcastically as Grace walked in the room.

"Hey, I really am sorry, all right? And I'm sorry I lost last night. I know y'all are counting on me." Spencer said

"I asked you to take this shot to give yourself a chance at something more. So what if you lost a game?" Grace said

"Look I came to Beverly to win. What good am I otherwise?" Spencer said

"Spencer... Win or lose, you are so much more than what you are on that field. You push yourself so damn hard trying to take care of us all. And you've been like that ever since your daddy left, trying to prove something to yourself and to him. But you can't hold up the world on your own, baby. Ok?" Grace said

"Exactly and no one is counting on you Spencer we all know I'll alway make it to the WNBA anyways." Madison said

"Don't listen to your sister." Grace said

"Or do I did win yesterday." Madison said and Grace looked at her.

"What I am just trying to lighten the mood." Madison said

—-Meanwhile—-

Olivia walked and got into Asher's car.

"I'm here. What's so important?" Olivia said

"Look, we haven't talked since you got back from rehab. I thought that..." Asher said and got cut off.

"Thought what?" Olivia said

"That we should. Look, I... I know that I haven't been the best boyfriend to Layla, but I want to change that. And with Spencer at Beverly now... I feel like she's pulling away. I want to make sure that you and I are on the same page..." Asher said

"there is no "you and I." It was one drug-induced screw-up. We got caught up in the moment, and I had to walk away from my best friend because of it. I lost Layla, and I have to live with that guilt for the rest of my life." Olivia said

"We both have to live with it." Asher said

"Then let's just keep pretending that it didn't happen, ok? Leila deserves at least that from us." Olivia said and got out of the car and walked away.

—-Shortly After—-

Olivia went back home and walked into a room where family were sitting on the couch in the living room waiting for her.
