Go To

Spencer is still worried about Layla's condition and, since she won't let him in, enlists Coop's and Olivia's help. Meanwhile, South Crenshaw High is holding a 25-year reunion, with Grace, Billy, and Corey all attending, Jordan spends a day with Billy, and Asher gets an unexpected visit from his mother, Gwen.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: Layla breaks up with Spencer for trying to call her father, which she perceives as an intrusion to her life.
  • Class Reunion: The focus of the episode is the reunion of South Crenshaw High's 1994 alumni.
  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: Unlike his strained relationship with his father, Billy was a momma's boy, and was crushed when she died of an illness.
  • Flashback: A couple of flashbacks focus on Billy's and Corey's past.
  • Get Out!: Layla, once again, says this to Spencer after their breakup.
  • Grounded Forever: For not only driving but crashing Olivia's car into a neighbor's house, Laura grounds Jordan "for as long as I can legally ground you".
  • Relationship Upgrade: After the reunion dance, Grace and Micah decide to reconnect.
  • Running Gag:
    • Denise Rivers is now called Denise Patterson, "but she's still single".
    • Comments about people getting canceled also pop up a few times.
  • Taking the Kids: Gwen demands Asher's custody, but Harold reminds her that the agreement for their separation was that he would keep him.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Corey and Billy were best friends growing up, but they drifted apart during high school for a couple reasons, namely Corey quitting football because of a sickness, Billy dealing with his mother's terminal illness, and them competing for Grace's heart.
