There are so many questions we have from the Season 2 finale of CW’s All American. In the All American Season 3 premiere, we find out if Spencer is okay to play? Is Coop in danger? Will Olivia and Asher get back together? What is Mo going to do in Crenshaw? This season begins with Spencer on a bus riding through Crenshaw with Chris. They are riding up to Beverly.
In Beverly, all of the football boys are in the hallway discussing how they are seniors. They are painting “Black Lives Matter” on the floor and talking about going to JJ’s for one last summer party before Spencer goes back to play for Crenshaw. Spencer and Jordan are talking about Simone. As they are talking, Simone texts Jordan that she is in labor.
Olivia is sitting on the steps and Spencer goes over to talk to her. Clearly, something has happened between the two of them. Olivia has been avoiding him. Is it because of the arm? Or did something else happen between the two of them? Then Asher arrives home. Olivia jumps into his arms. Spencer goes because he has an interview back in Crenshaw.
Jordan is at the hospital and Simone’s father is there too. Simone tells her father that she handed the baby over to a new family. She tells him to ask Jordan to leave. Back in Crenshaw, Billy is with the reporter, Renata, and Spencer finally shows up. She is trying to get Spencer to talk badly about Beverly but he isn’t biting.
Billy is at the High School going to his new office when he runs into Grace. The two of them then run into the new Superintendent. The one that wants to turn the school into a Magnet School. It turns out he went to high school with Billy and wasn’t a big fan. Things just got tougher in Crenshaw.
Coop and Layla are driving home from their summer tour. Layla mentions how Patience left the tour early. Now Coop brings up Layla and Spencer’s relationship. Layla says they are good, but refuses to go see him. Patience is at Spencer’s house watching Spencer and Chris play chess. Someone starts knocking on the door. It’s Coop!
Patience is happy to see Coop, so what is up with Patience? Patience then tells Coop about Mo. Coop is instantly concerned with her arrival.

He is talking to a gentleman that actually is the adoptive father of Simone’s baby. He doesn’t say anything, but you can tell he is happy.
Patience and Coop are getting coffee and are talking about Mo. They are wondering why she is back in town. Patience thinks maybe she is just here to pay her respects, while Coop is worried. Coop then confronts Patience on why she left. Patience keeps saying the tour life isn’t for her, but Coop doesn’t buy it. Laura then shows up at Billy’s new office. Laura then invites Grace and the boys to Baker family dinner.
Laura tells Billy about the conversation she had with Mo. Mo seemed to just have questions about everything that went down, but Laura says that she can’t talk about it.

Everyone makes it to Baker family dinner, except Jordan. He has gone to see Simone. Spencer takes it upon himself to call Jordan and leaves a voicemail.
Coop then waits and talks to Mo. Mo says that when she came back she wanted revenge, but now she just wants to help. Mo is the reason Preach is out of jail.
