D’Angelo is already intent on not making the football team be a thing at Crenshaw and to make things harder for Billy and his new team, he reveals that he raised the GPA requirement of all athletic participation to make the school become a strong magnet school rather than an athletic-focused one. Now that’s what you call revenge. The moment when the kid you used to bully comes back at a higher position than you and won’t forget it is an awkward encounter. We not only realize that Carter has ties to the school, but that he used to be bullied by Billy and his teammates when they were teens and had to transfer freshman year. I’m just sayin.ĭuring their time on campus, Billy and Grace run into the Superintendent D’Angelo Carter (Lamon Archey), aka the person behind the plan to turn Crenshaw into a magnet school. Hopefully, their kindred friendship stays platonic and heads nowhere to romance because they are perfectly fine as is and at least this viewer wouldn’t want to see that relationship become a potential roadblock to Olivia and Spencer (if they were to finally explore them as a couple). Meanwhile, at Crenshaw High, we see Billy and Grace (Karimah Westbrook) in the hallways, at their own stomping ground and seeing their interactions have always felt gentle and kind, with a lot of history behind it as well. I really hope another fight between them doesn’t happen again. Spencer mentions how after all they have been through, “not once did they put their hands on each other” and was disappointed that it had to happen now. That first punch Jordan threw at him was so uncalled for and I hate seeing them get into altercations. How will Spencer’s return to his original school (and its football team) affect the show? Is the rivalry between Crenshaw High and Beverly going to get more intense? We shall see what’s in store, but it’s a smart narrative choice to send Spencer back to Creshaw and, as a viewer, it’s hard not to support the teenager in wanting to return and wanting his coach there with him for the transition. This time, however, it’s totally different as Billy chose to resign and to follow Spencer to Crenshaw. The dynamic is reminiscent of the first season when Spencer was the new kid in town, Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) feels like Spencer stole his dad. When we pick back up with him in Season 3, Spencer is no longer a student at Beverly because he wants to give back to the school and community that built him, even if it means having to leave behind his team at Beverly, taking Billy (Taye Diggs) with him. Right? After that All American Season 2 cliffhanger, my mind is going to the most obvious guess of what could have happened over the summer between Spencer (Daniel Ezra) and Olivia (Samantha Logan). It’s senior year for our Beverly Hills and Crenshaw friends and that means the summer before senior year, something always has to happen to spice up the new school year. This All American review contains spoilers.
