Alexa, play Just a Friend by Biz Markie!
This week on All American, friends and boundaries are tested as the gang explore their true feelings with each other, it’s either now or never!
Amina is back from Baltimore and the tension between her Preach, and Coop is thick. Was the truth surrounding her mother’s death too much for her to handle?
Cassius is finally getting the recognition he wanted as the head football coach at Beverly. But what’s the cost of coming out of Billy Baker’s shadows? In an attempt to protect his star players from injury, he decided to bench them until the playoffs, much to KJ’s dismay.
As always, when Khalil pushes Amina away, she lands right in the arms of KJ. We don’t know about y'all, but the chemistry between this pairing is something we love to see on the canvas! They tend to support each other through different situations under the category of friends, but… we all know better.
Coop. Coop. Coop. Right when we thought she had started to learn from previous choices, she decided to go on a date with Professor Breonna. Post breakup with Patience, juggling law school, and dealing with the fallout with Amina should be enough!
Hmm, for those that are team Tori and KJ, his emotional connection with Amina causes conflict between the two. Tori is caught in that all too familiar role of “just friends” but wanting more. S/o to her for speaking her mind and not settling for less. We see you, my girl!
With support from Amina, Khalil finally decided to ask Coop for help as it relates to street life and him needing a way out but Coop has to push past what she thinks he’s like and see him for the person he truly is. She supports him by initiating a meeting on his behalf, one that can ultimately free him from the gang life indefinitely.
Over at Layla’s as she waits for Coop, Professor Breonna bonds with Layla adding more depth into her storyline and shines light on a potential friendship that may be legally benefiting the both of them.
Cassius’ father, (guest star Steve Harris), makes an appearance in the stands of Beverly and stirs both fear and competitiveness in Cassius. He decided to let his star players play, but for what? His ego? His pride? One can’t help but wonder, what does he have to prove to his father and how deep does that attachment injury go?
Caught up in his new found freedom, Khalil makes a play for Amina, but oh how the tables turn! All season we have watched her attempt to make them more than friends, even having a fake relationship with KJ to make him jealous. However, the category is self-worth! After reconciling with Coop, Amina is able to see how much she is loved and cared for by the people in her village. So while standing on business, she tells Khalil it’s time for him to put in the work… earn her!
All American airs on CW, Mondays at 7pm. You can also catch it streaming on the app!
