Spencer preps up for the homecoming game, where eight college football coaches will show up to see how he will make a comeback after a bad run for the Chargers this season. Meanwhile, Jordan also prepares for the homecoming game against Westlake, while dealing with a sudden bout of his illness.
Tropes featured in this episode:
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Monique is truthfully not as nice as she seems to be.
- Career-Ending Injury: The doctor's diagnosis states that Jordan will probably cannot play football again for the rest of the year.
- Due to the Dead: Billy retires Corey's number and unveils memorials dedicated to him on the field. Spencer in turn forfeits his game so he won't break his father's touchdown record.
- Ironic Juxtaposition: The Chargers win their homecoming game, while the Eagles don't. Spencer is also offered a visit from all eight college football coaches who saw his game, while Jordan is knocked unconscious and told that he won't play football for the rest of the year.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: J.J., who up to that point was a happy-go-lucky Dumb Jock, slams Asher to the locker for making him look like an idiot for months by not telling him how Vanessa feels. Asher and Jordan are appropriately surprised.
- Properly Paranoid: Coop was right to suspect Monique, who has something sinister prepared for her. Unfortunately, by the time Monique reveals her true colors, she has let her guard down.
- Stern Teacher: Nurse Joy is as harsh as NA host goes, but she genuinely wants addicts to recover.
