<\/a><\/div>\n\nThis week\u2019s episode of All American gave me a little bit of whiplash. The season began off with a Christmas episode in October, now right here we’re 5 episodes later and it\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day in November. As common, the CW is late saying their fall and winter finale dates, however for the reason that collection was granted 20 episodes this season, the timing of the seasons within the collection is kind of frankly, very unusual. But however, this was a Valentine\u2019s Day episode and go away it to J.J. to assist his pals benefit from the day, in additional methods than one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s clear from the start that this Valentine\u2019s Day might be an ungainly one, with Spencer and Olivia nonetheless trying to maneuver on from each other, and Jordan and Layla\u2019s not-so-secret romance. Cue J.J. to make issues much more awkward, by twisting the arms of Spencer and Jordan to be part of his fraternity\u2019s pace relationship occasion. J.J. Is about as refined as a brick via a window, and in a roundabout means he makes it recognized to Jordan that he’s conscious of what\u2019s occurring between him and Layla. Jordan tells Layla that J.J. is aware of, but it surely doesn\u2019t actually part her. Neither does Jordan\u2019s participation within the pace relationship occasion, since she has determined that they need to have a low key valentines this 12 months. This doesn\u2019t work for Jordan, nevertheless, as he has fallen quick and onerous for Layla. He begrudgingly participates within the pace relationship occasion, however each query and reply has him referring to Layla, to the purpose the place he lastly admits to J.J. that he’s proper about them. J.J. guarantees to maintain it a secret, however let\u2019s be actual, that is J.J. we’re speaking about. Interestingly sufficient, Layla feels dangerous about disregarding Valentine\u2019s Day and turns to J.J. to assist her plan one thing particular for Jordan. She lures Jordan to her studio, the place she places him on the spot by asking him the questions from pace relationship that J.J. gave her. The two confess their love for one another and resolve to make their relationship official with out secrets and techniques, as a result of as talked about, now that J.J. is aware of, they could as nicely inform everybody themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nAside from pace relationship, J.J. additionally discovers that Asher has signed Jabari. It shouldn\u2019t have taken Spencer and Jordan to make him notice that he\u2019s been slacking and never taking soccer critically, but it surely did. He tries to make issues proper by going to the fitness center on Valentine\u2019s day, however when he was invited to attend a flip flop celebration, he finally selected enjoyable with pals over understanding. Asher sees this as the ultimate nail in J.J.\u2019s coffin, and this may possible price J.J. his alternative at Coastal California. It is unclear what is going to turn out to be of J.J. now, however he’s headed down a foul path and hopefully he can get his priorities so as earlier than it\u2019s too late for his profession.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spencer can be struggling on Valentine\u2019s Day. He sees no matter is occurring between him and Alicia as a budding friendship, so he has deliberate nothing to mark the particular occasion. Coop presents him recommendation, telling Spencer that he ought to watch \u201cPretty Woman\u201d and take notes on how you can plan an ideal night time for his woman. Spencer goes all out with a romantic dinner on the seaside home, with roses and attractive music to prime it off. Alicia finally ends up being uncomfortable with the entire vibe of the night time, and will get Spencer to speak to her about what\u2019s going via his thoughts. He got here clear concerning the \u201cPretty Woman\u201d lesson, and about sleeping with Olivia. Thankfully, Alicia was tremendous cool with it as a result of she additionally didn\u2019t see their relationship as unique. They resolve to get rid of the romantic vibe of the night time, and have a quiet night time watching \u201cPretty Woman,\u201d which finally leads the 2 to sleeping collectively for the primary time. One factor Alicia observed instantly about Spencer, is that he’s a relationship-minded man. She desires him to simply benefit from the attending to know you part of relationship and have enjoyable. Hopefully Spencer can take just a few steps again and benefit from the second with Alicia. This could possibly be a extremely great point for him, and there\u2019s no must rush.\u00a0<\/p>\n
