Spencer is offered a slot at Texas North University by Coach Romelo, on the condition that he will be willing to craft a social justice platform. Crenshaw is holding a vigil for Tamika Pratt, a black university student killed by the police for sleeping on the side of the road, with Coop as a keynote speaker. The vigil gives an idea for Olivia as a subject for her podcast, especially when she learns that her mother has a copy of the unreleased police cam footage. Meanwhile, Jordan tries to move on after he is benched from football for the rest of the year, while Grace and Carter unexpectedly become closer.
