With the tagline ‘Time To Tell The Truth’, the summary reads, “After Spencer (Daniel Ezra) gets some sage advice, he and the team rally around Chris (guest star Spence Moore II) to help him with his trauma, leaving Spencer to realize it’s time to be honest with Coop (Bre-Z) to get over his. Laura (Monet Mazur) grows concerned about Olivia’s (Samantha Logan) sobriety when she notices a change in her behavior, resulting in Laura doing something that could jeopardize their relationship.”

“Jordan (Michael Evan Behling) gets sidelined during a game, but his eagerness to get back on the field might have a long-term consequence. Meanwhile, Layla (Greta Onieogou) hits a dead end with her lawsuit, so Patience (Chelsea Tavares) takes matters into her own hands knowing Coop won’t be happy when she finds out.”

‘All American’ Season 3 Episode 5 Predictions

In a 30-second promo, we see Spencer and Coop having a fight about how he got shot. “I told you not to get involved,” Spencer says and adds, “I can't trust my own body.” Agitated and shocked, Coop replies, “Are you trying to say I am the reason you got shot?”

Another scene shows Olivia's mom Laura talking on the phone saying, “I think Olivia's been using again.” Dismissing those claims, Olivia says, “I have it under control.” Obviously, Laura won't listen to her and might do something she wouldn't like. 



 

Many fans seem to be blaming Coop for Spencer being involved in the gang. “I believe his mind is being affected by Coop's bad decisions that led up to the shooting he's right he took the bullet for Coop but saved Olivia from the bullet and now Spencer has a decision he has to make with his friendship with Coop. They can still be cool but it's time for them to do their own thing and don't forget about what Preach said to Coop, her bad decisions are affecting people and I know that's not what she wanted but that's how it played out and I think it's good her and Patience music is jumping off because this is the time Spencer and Coop need apart to concentrate on themselves,” one fan said

Another posted, “I love Coop but Spencer is completely right in that he took the bullet for her. If coop had just listened to him and never got involved with the gang violence back in season one that shooting would’ve never happened. Coop needs to accept that it was her fault and sincerely apologize.” A third wrote, “Lol I’m kinda lowkey tired of Coop. She always got drama behind her smh.”
