## Season One

Olivia and Layla attempt to rekindle their friendship.

Spencer's worlds come together to celebrate his birthday in Beverly Hills. The return of Layla's music mogul father gives Spencer the perfect opportunity to give back to Crenshaw and reunite with an increasingly distant Coop. At an explosive homecoming dance, friendships in both Crenshaw and Beverly will be put to the test when decisions made by Spencer trigger an avalanche that drastically changes the course of several lives.

Spencer should be on top of the world - his football team is headed to the play-offs and he can finally be with Layla - but he can't shake a major tragedy that occurred causing him to question everything. Spencer tries not to repeat the mistakes of his past with his relationship with Layla.

Layla forces Asher to re-evaluate his life.

## Season Two

Layla gets mad at Spencer after Olivia let it slip about his football plans. Layla is still not acting like herself and Spencer grows concerned after what he sees.

After Spencer and Olivia's efforts to try to get help for Layla blow up in their faces, Layla pretends that everything is fine by throwing a birthday party for Olivia and Jordan. With everything going on Spencer can't get excited about his football ranking and gets some guidance from Layla, who in turn realizes it might not be the best advice for anyone, including her.

Layla bonds with a new friend who understands what she is going through, but realizes that Spencer and Olivia are there for her, too. With Spencer in bad shape, Grace, Billy, Laura, Olivia and Layla rush to his side. Knowing there is a big decision he needs to make, the community from both Crenshaw and Beverly Hills rally around him to show support. Layla thinks she knows what she wants to do with her future and needs Coop to do it.

Layla is excited about her and Coop's music, but Coop is distracted about what is going on in the streets. Spencer is worried Coop isn't taking everything seriously and asks Layla for help. Layla continues to help Coop with her music which helps Coop receive an offer that she wasn't expecting.
