[MUSIC PLAYING] (SINGING) We got that
Christmas spirit. We got that Christmas spirit. We got that Christmas spirit. Woo. Can you feel it? You got the Christmas spirit. Better believe it. Yeah, we're gonna get with it. We get that festive feeling. Hands to the ceiling. Woo. You got the Christmas spirit. Mr. Evans, how
long have you been sleeping with your secretary? Is the Playtime board
going to fire you? No comment. Will you lose control of
your family's toy company? No, no.
I said, no comment. [MUSIC PLAYING] Nicole, this is crazy. Hi, Grant. I wish your driver would
have taken my advice and brought you around the back. No, these protests are
destroying my company. Fact is, who is
responsible for destroying your company is a
matter of opinion, which is why you hired me. Now if you do not want to
look like the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas,"
please, let me do my job. Get everything in position. We're coming out. Wait, we're not going
back out there, are we? Trust me. Come on, kids. [MUSIC PLAYING] Ready? [MUSIC PLAYING] Look, kids. Santa and his elves
came by Playtime Toys to pass out Christmas presents. [MUSIC PLAYING] Go, go. Yes. Well, what are you
waiting on, Santa? Aren't you gonna
hand out the gifts? [MUSIC PLAYING] Here. Are you sure? Trust me. Just read what's on the card. [MUSIC PLAYING] Playtime Toys is proud
to announce a $5 million partnership with St Michael's
Children's Hospital. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hey, Carla, I'm headed
up, and everything went great this morning. Thanks again for the hookup. All right, let's focus. Do we have everything prepared
for my year in presentation? Copy that. Conference room is being
set up as we speak. NICOLE BARNES (ON
PHONE): Awesome. Do me a favor. Call the booker over at
Good Morning Chicago. Let them know about
this morning's event. In a few weeks, this whole
scandal will be completely behind us, and
Grant Evans will be ready to go back on that show. Getting a cheating CO back
on top is a Christmas miracle. The queen of crisis
management strikes again. Yeah, well, girl, this queen
is ready to take her throne over at Hilton Lincoln. After today's
presentation, I'm sure there'll be no
doubt in Christian's mind that you're the one to
lead the London office. I already started learning the
words to "God Save the King." NICOLE BARNES (ON PHONE):
"God Save the King?" No, we are team Meg and Harry. CARLA (ON PHONE): Standing
a Buckingham Palace tour? I'm obsessed with the
Royals even if the Duchess did bounce to LA. [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, and I left the travel
brochures on your desk. Great. Oh, I cannot wait
till my holiday vacation in Turks and Caicos. I'm officially gonna
transition from beast mode to feet in the sand sipping
margaritas beach mode. [MUSIC PLAYING] All right, I'm headed up. See you in a minute. [MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome back to
"Quarterback Confidential." I'm your host, Jordan Daniels,
and my final thought for today is this. If Chicago wants to
win, their quarterback is gonna have to read the
defense a lot faster if he plans on elevating his
team to new heights and chasing a Championship
ring like this. But before we close
out today's show, let's take a look at
the sports ranker app and see what's trending right
now in the world of sports. [MUSIC PLAYING] Code red. Can we run down? [MUSIC PLAYING] That's all we have for today. I'm Jordan Daniels. Tune in tomorrow
as we count down the top five teams looking to
duke it out for a Championship. And we're off the air. [MUSIC PLAYING] REPORTER: Former Drake
College quarterback and current SportsLive network
anchor, Jordan Daniels, is now under investigation
for reportedly receiving improper benefits
while attending Drake. A booster has come forward
alleging they gave Daniels money while he was
a student, and now one of his former
teammates, Mark Greene, is also coming forward to
corroborate the allegation. This report is blowing
up on social media. Mark Greene was my
backup in college. I don't know why he's
doing this to me. Well, your backup is
now front-and-center of your takedown. All the networks are
covering, and everybody wants a comment from this guy. He runs a homeless shelter
for crying out loud, and you can guess whose side
everybody's lining up behind. I don't know why
this is happening. College was over 15 years ago. The network is being bombarded
with emails, and posts, and calls from
angry football fans. They want you fired. I should have listened to my
wife and retired to the beach last year. I could be sitting by
the dock of the bay. Instead, I'm watching my
star anchor's career implode. OK, Paxton. This is just a misunderstanding. Why don't you just
put me back on the air and let me explain
the situation? Are you crazy? You are officially radioactive. You are like Lance
Armstrong after doping for the Tour de France. It's not that-- Like Tiger Woods
after the divorce. Like Mike Tyson after the ear. The network doesn't
want you on the air, and they don't want you
addressing the media until they can figure it out. All right. OK. What about my contract? We were supposed to have a
deal in place by Christmas. [MUSIC PLAYING] Well, I hate to
be Scrooge on this, but the network
says that contract negotiations are on hold until
this matter can be resolved. This situation violates
your morals clause. Morals clause? College was over 15 years ago. How could anything that happened
back then still be a violation? Anything that threatens
your integrity and standing in the sports world can
be viewed as a violation of your morals clause. Paxton, you know me. You know where I come from. You know how hard I worked to go
from the South Side to the pros without as much of a
little hint of a scandal. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'm sorry, Jordan. All right. So what's gonna
happen with my show? Well, KJ's gonna fill in until
the matter can be dealt with. How are you gonna
give KJ my show? He's been gunning for my
chair, and with no contract, he's not gonna
just be filling in. Come on, Paxton. No. Look, I'm the guy who
brought you into SportsLive. We're not gonna go
down without a fight. But we are gonna need
some help if we're gonna save your TV
career and get you that new contract by Christmas. [MUSIC PLAYING] GREG: Rick. Rick, like I said, this IPO's
gonna to go through the roof. You've got nothing
to worry about. You're in great hands
with Ralston Edwards. We're gonna make a
lot of money together. Do we have a deal? OK, talk to you tomorrow. Yes. What? I did it, babe. Your man is officially
a God among men. That was Mason Dillinger. I'm taking his solar
energy company public. The company's only two
years old and already valued in the millions. That is great, baby. Congratulations. Great?
No, no, no. This is epic. This is monumental. This is a $32 million
feather in your man's cap. Yes, but baby, is this any
different than the $20 million deal you did just last month? Or what you did last quarter? As the first Black managing
director of the firm, there's no such thing
as too many deals. NICOLE BARNES: OK. That's like
asking LeBron James if he scores too many points. Did you just compare
yourself to LeBron James? I guess I did. OK, King James of banking,
can you please come over here and help me perfect this tree? I will. I promise. I just need to send
this quick email. Baby, hurry up and
send the email, because I want to do holiday stuff. Let's talk about our
Christmas vacation. Why are we going to Turks
and Caicos for Christmas? I don't see why we
need to leave Chicago. What's Christmas without snow? Baby, you and I have been
together for two years now, and we have never
taken a real vacation. All we do is work
around the clock. The only thing you make
time for are your workouts. I'm starting to
think you might have a little secret relationship
with your spinning instructor. I can't lie, I am this close
to leaving you for Tunde. Ha, ha. Very funny. Baby, I'm being serious. [MUSIC PLAYING] When is the last time
we did anything fun? What are you talking about? I took you out for your
birthday last month. Uh, no. Correction. You said you were taking me to
Chez Loraine's for my birthday, but we ended up having
drinks with your clients. Well, have you ever heard
of two birds, one stone? Greg, do not make me create
a PowerPoint presentation about why we need a getaway. Well, you know a
brother loves a good deck. So you're just
gonna keep playing? I'm sorry. Go ahead. Remember when we
first started dating? We used to have so
much fun together. We used to do wine tasting. We did karaoke even
though you can't sing. We still had fun. We used to go to dinner without
your clients, just you and I. I want to get back to that. Well, when are you
telling Christian you're taking two weeks off? You know wannabe Idris
Elba is gonna flip out. I bet he puts the kibosh
on this whole thing. Leave his accent
alone, please. And for your information,
I've already finished all my work for the year. So you and I will be fa la la
la la-ing in Turks and Caicos. You cannot be
serious, Christian. You're the best person
for this account, Nicole. You've never met a client
whose worst nightmare couldn't be spun into a dream comeback. Remember how you handled the
golfer scandal two years ago? You turned a major felony into
a barely-noticeable misdemeanor, so he could keep
his endorsements. I have worked
nonstop this year. I am tired. I need a vacation. The blue waters of Turks and
Caicos are calling my name. Wrap this up, and you
can leave Christmas Eve. Right after you handle
this last account. You're the best
Hilton Lincoln has, and I'm confident if
you pull this off, the board will make you partner. Remember, the board only names
new partners every three years. Yes, and for the past seven
years, I have worked 24/7, 365 for this company. And your diligence
and commitment are reflected in your bonus. [MUSIC PLAYING] Thank you for the bonus, but
I'm not cancelling my vacation. I have plans for Christmas. You haven't even reviewed
the bloody file yet. How can you already say no? [MUSIC PLAYING] Hell nah. Uh-uh. Don't shoot the messenger. Christian told me
to give it to you. Doesn't look like this
guy's any more challenging than any of your other
clients, and there aren't any hostages this time. Carla, I'm not
taking that account. No. It looks like
this Jordan Daniels guy really needs your help. [MUSIC PLAYING] What about my vacation? Huh? Not cancelling that. I'm not even pushing it back. I barely got Greg to agree
to go on this vacation. He's finally leaving Chicago. The answer is no. No. It doesn't look
like Christian's taking no for an answer. He's throwing in a sweetner. He told me that if you
handle this account, you'll have access
to the company jet, and he'll even cover your villa. [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, you playing games. OK. I see you, Christian. Oh, you know I love a jet. No. No to everything. No. One of the things I
admire the most about you is that you pride yourself on
taking on the hardest cases and slaying the dragon. Look, boss, I hope
I'm not overstepping, but why turn down this case? Because, Carla, I have never
been asked to manage a crisis for an ex-boyfriend of mine. [MUSIC PLAYING] Look, Christian. I can't take this account. OK, no, that's a
little aggressive. Christian, I can't
take this account. OK, OK.
You got it. You got it. I do not-- There she is. Meet our star crisis
manager, Nicole Barnes. [MUSIC PLAYING] Nicole, meet Jordan Daniels. SportsLive VP, Paxton Briggs,
and communications chief, Dawn Taylor. Hi. Pleasure to meet you, Jordan. You too, Nicole. [MUSIC PLAYING] Christian, can I talk to
you privately for a moment? I was telling them how
your recent accomplishments make you perfect to
manage Jordan's situation. Let's cut to the chase. Jordan's image has taken
a hit, and by extension, the SportsLive network. We have sports fans and
viewers calling for his firing. And he's still
the top-trending story on social media ahead
of a celebrity divorce. And Drake College
just announced that the board is gonna suspend
me until they investigate. We've suspended
Jordan from his show while we do damage control. Well, that's
your first mistake. Excuse me? Suspending Jordan essentially
says that you two agree he's done something wrong. So now everyone's just
sharpening their pitchforks ready to come in for the kill. In my experience,
you need to show network viewers that you're
listening to their concerns. We had no choice but to
remove Jordan off the air. JORDAN DANIELS: I don't want
this situation to kill my Drake scholarship program,
so what do you think we should have done, Nicole? [MUSIC PLAYING] Look, baby, I'm
sorry about tonight. OK? I just had a splitting headache. I was counting
on my girlfriend to sparkle and shine tonight
to help me land the new client. You know, do our thing. Be Michelle to my Barack.
- I know. I know. Look, why don't I
make it up to you? Next week, we can
schedule drinks with them, and I promise you, I will
be First Lady fabulous. I'm gonna hold you to that. You can. [MUSIC PLAYING] That's our car. [PHONE VIBRATES] Wait. [MUSIC PLAYING] GREG: Babe, you coming? Give me a second. Hey. Great job with
the SportsLive team. NICOLE BARNES (ON
PHONE): Thank you. Look, Christian, now that I have
outlined a few of my tactics to rebuild Jordan's career, can
you please hand this account off to someone else? What about Mike? If I wanted Mike, I would have
tapped him from the beginning. I need to tell you
something about-- CHRISTIAN (ON PHONE): It
has to be you, Nicole. You went to Drake. You have relationships
there, and you have the most experience
with our sports clients. If it's not you, then maybe
you're not partner material. Perhaps Mike and the Seattle
office will be our new partner. [MUSIC PLAYING] NICOLE BARNES: Mm-mm. No, ma'am. No. I know I said, surprise
me, but this right here looks like a hard pass. Don't turn your nose up. To help us prepare for London,
I went to Bringston's Market to get us some
traditional British foods. Why did you do that? You would have been
better off just getting recipes from "The
Great British Baking Show." OK, well, more for me. So are you gonna
spill the tea or what? What? Well, now that
he's your client, tell me more about you
and Jordan Daniels. I can't believe Christian. He told me no Jordan, no London. Really? [MUSIC PLAYING] So wait, did you tell
him that you guys dated? Isn't it a conflict of interest? No, I have not told
Christian, not yet. I can't. If he finds out, he can
take me off of this account. I need to fix the situation with
Jordan and secure partnership. So what's the deal? Pre-law nerds and hot
jocks don't usually mix in the same social circles. We took the same art class
sophomore year of college. Oh. Was he the new model
for sketch art class? More details, please. Ew, no. Nasty. He was not. And it was the painting
class, thank you very much. He was surprisingly good, too. I don't know. We both took the class
as a stress reliever. Me from the pre-law track and
him from the football field. And after a while, we
realized we had more in common than we thought. Like what? Well, we're both
from single-family homes without a lot of money. And we wanted to be
successful, so we could take care of our families. I know Jordan. It wasn't just about
fame and money. He wanted to do well, so that he
can give back to the community. Well, you both
checked those boxes. He had huge paydays
in the league, and you take care of your dad. But the million dollar question
is, why'd you two break up? I don't know. I guess we were just
on two different paths. I was headed to law school,
and he was headed to the pros. That doesn't sound like
a deal-breaker to me. Sounds like an opportunity for
a bigger rock on your finger. It's crazy you say that. He proposed to me
on graduation day. Oh my god. OK, whoa. This story gets worse and worse. Let me get this straight. The finest hell football
player about to sign a fat pro contract
proposes to you, and you say something
else other than hell yes? You know how athletes are. Groupies, on the road. I just-- no. I couldn't do it. I didn't want to
get my heart broken. So instead of
getting your heart broken by groupies that
didn't even exist yet, you broke his heart? Damn, when you
put it like that. I guess. Well, I haven't seen him
since then until yesterday. So what are you gonna do now? I'm gonna do my job, and
I'm gonna get this promotion. Jordan is the only thing that
is standing in between me being named partner by Christmas Eve. [MUSIC PLAYING] You don't have to check. Don't worry, you're
still beautiful. And you are still
always late, I see. I would have been
on-time if Mark Greene didn't organize a press
conference from my office. Yeah, well, Jordan,
your ex-teammate? He's gunning for you right now,
and he is not gonna back down. Which is exactly why
I asked you to meet me here and not at SportsLive. And you should have listened
to me and taken the back exit. Still cocky, I see. No, I'm not cocky. Just right. Where are Paxton and Dawn? Let's get this meeting going. Dawn had an
emergency to deal with. Paxton is overseeing
my show, which is now being hosted by this
clown, KJ Neely, since I got to deal
with this mess. OK. Are you and KJ beefing? No, but he's been
angling for his own show, and with me on the sidelines,
he can make a move. So. So it sounds like I need to
get you back in that chair as quickly as possible then. Here. What is this? That is a rollout
of my media plan to repair your tarnished image,
to neutralize Mark Greene, and to get that clown, KJ
Neely, out of your chair. I need a plan
to just be myself? Come on, Nicky. You know me. I've worked hard to
create a life I can be proud of on and off the field. Jordan, you have to
accept that your image? It's taken a hit with
all of this controversy that's blanketing the press. Look, it's like
when you get sacked. I don't get sacked. Denver's defense
might disagree but OK. Oh. So you watched me play. It was a football analogy-- There you are. I'm sorry. Sir, no photos allowed. Absolutely no photos. Please turn the camera off. I'm sorry. Who are you? No, I'm sorry. Lacey, this is Nicole Barnes. LACEY JAMES: Oh, I'm sorry. --with Hilton and Lincoln. Nicole, this is Lacey James. My fiancee. Nice to meet you, Nicole. Jordan told me you're
going to be working for us. Thank you. So I decided I'd pop over
and introduce myself. I'm sorry, us? Yes, to deal with this
whole silly controversy since we're in the middle
of planning our wedding. We're a package deal. Right. The network engaged my
services to represent Jordan, and repair his image,
and clean up this situation. First, I would start by
saying, I'm sorry but no unauthorized photos at all. So-- you said, Lacey? - Yeah.
- Is it? It is? Your cameraman has to go, Lacey. [MUSIC PLAYING] You can wait in the car. [MUSIC PLAYING] Thank you. Sorry. You may not know this. I'm an entertainment
reporter on "Hollywood Biz" planning my wedding. The fans love going behind
the scenes of my life. Did you see the video I
made supporting Jordan? My fans love Jordan. OK, listen. Your fans may love Jordan,
but Jordan's fans are turning against him right now. I need to make
sure that Jordan is seen as a local community hero. Not a rich celebrity
in the middle of planning a lavish wedding. I have to be able to show
my viewers what's going on leading up to the big day. Plus more fan engagement
is what my boss expects. I don't get what
the big deal is. OK, these are
Jordan's favorables among his target audience. Now, these are them
before the scandal hit. That's not bad. No, Jordan, that's great. Now these are your
current favorable rankings after the scandal. 80% have unfollowed
you on social media. 94% disapprove. Nicole, you gotta
get me back on the air and before the end of the year. Or else the network is not
gonna renew my contract, and KJ's gonna get my show. Listen, I have been under
tighter deadlines than this. Have your agent send
me over your contract. I'll look over it. I'll see if there's anything
in there that can help us. OK. Will do. OK. And I will do whatever is
necessary to support my man. Great. Now let's talk about something
that is not in my media plan. What's that? Let's talk about you two
calling off this wedding. [MUSIC PLAYING] No way. No way. We are not calling
off my wedding because of some stupid scandal. We've already locked
in the January date. Hold on. Can we just let her elaborate?
Can you, please? Nicole?
- Look, I'm sorry. I did not mean to completely
cancel your wedding, but I am proposing
you postpone it. Maybe a month, two? Just give us enough time
to get beyond the scandal. We also need to talk about
you two killing this reality show you're signed up for. Are you crazy? We can't kill the show
or move the wedding. Our relationship
doesn't have anything to do with Jordan's haters. Planning a wedding
right now will not go over well with the fans. Your fans, Lacey, or yours. Jordan will come off as
a rich, spoiled athlete who does not care and
does whatever he wants. But we're supposed
to sign the reality show contracts this week. Really? The network wants to announce
our show before Christmas. This is not just a
personal decision. This is about the
business of both of our entertainment careers. OK. With that being said, what
about all the negative press I've been receiving lately? That can't possibly be good
for the show, right, Nicole? Actually, negative press is
very attractive for reality show producers. So. [MUSIC PLAYING] Jordan. Baby, look at me. This show will help
both of our careers. [MUSIC PLAYING] I don't mean to sound
like the Grinch right now. But we have one focus,
and that is Jordan. We need to do whatever we can
do to make sure that you get a contract by the
Christmas deadline, which is only three weeks away. We also need to make sure
that Drake University does not kill your scholarship program. My fans love Jordan. The more I talk about him
on air and post about him, the more they rally around him. Really? That has to help us
somehow, right, Nicole? Yes, it could help. But it could also backfire,
and things could get ugly. Look, you may be the expert
fixer, but I know my fans. They won't make any trouble. Got it. Can we go to the plan, please? All righty. I was thinking we
start with a job fair. Then do a massive
Christmas tree giveaway. Then I'll set up a
series of interviews, but they'll be local interviews
and no ambush questions at all. My assistant, Carla, she's gonna
take over your social media. I need everything streamlined,
carefully curated, with the same exact message
that you, Jordan Daniels, are an honest,
hard-working, local hero that absolutely has not
forgotten where he's come from. All I need to do is to remind
them that that is the man we all fell in love with. [MUSIC PLAYING] Everything's going
really well in there, boss. Great. Oh. Is that him? (SINGING) I'm gonna
take you higher. [MUSIC PLAYING] I know this is
completely unprofessional, but that man can tackle
me anytime, anywhere. [MUSIC PLAYING] You're late. I'm five minutes early. Yes, and in my
book, that's late. Won't happen again. Thank you. This is Carla, my assistant. Carla, meet Jordan Daniels. [MUSIC PLAYING] Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. [MUSIC PLAYING] She's nice. Mm-hm, very nice. So I posted about this job fair
on all social media platforms, so we have a really
good turnout. What's this? Who gets a new job
without a new suit? De Rossi designs was very
happy to donate clothing for your job fair today. Another client, I presume? Yeah, and if I can
clean up that CEO's image with the sweatshop
shenanigans hitting the fan, then I can certainly
do the same for you. Are you sure? You said you trust me, right? [MUSIC PLAYING] Merry Christmas, everybody. So who's ready to find a job? [MUSIC PLAYING] This was great. Planning a job fair to help
people get jobs when they struggling to pay bills and
get money for their kids for Christmas? That means a lot. Yeah, and you
were awesome today. You were. Social media is eating this up. You know, you were right. You the best person for the job. I'm really good
at getting people out of sticky situations. That's my thing. Yeah. It's never boring. You know, every single
day is different. Most days, I love my job. What about today? [MUSIC PLAYING] [PHONE VIBRATES] [MUSIC PLAYING] I need to take this. Of course, yeah.
Take that. I'ma head out anyway. I gotta go meet Lacey. OK. [MUSIC PLAYING] You always did clean up nice. Aw, Keith. Bespoke suits are my superpower. NICOLE BARNES: Hey, guys. Nicole? Oh my goodness, what
are you doing here? You look amazing. You haven't changed a bit. Well, if there's anyone in
here that's timeless, that is you, Keith, and you, Delvin. Yes, he is. I guess the love of a
good man has kept me young. Well, love and hair color. Oh. So what are you doing at
my brother's tuxedo fitting? What? Jordan didn't tell you? Tell us what? I work at Hilton Lincoln. The crisis management
firm that was retained to get Jordan's job
back and clean up his image? Wait. You're telling me my little
brother's ex, his first love, is the person in charge
of fixing his life? The universe got jokes. Does Lacey know all this? This is some messy
mess right here. Don't do that. Delvin, don't do that.
This is not messy mess. No, no, no. It's not, because there is
nothing gonna on between Jordan and I anymore. And I am a professional,
and I'm hired to do a job. Who are you
trying to convince? Us or yourself, because you
can forget about the two of us. I've seen you for,
what, two seconds? And I'm not buying it. Well, I don't care who
you're trying to convince. I always hoped
you and my brother would get back together. No, that's not happening. He is my client, and I'm just
trying to save his career. Uh-huh. Besides. Hello? He's engaged. Yeah, it's not
because he wants to be. Oh. What do you mean, not
because he wants to be? Don't look at me. You pour the tea, so you
might as well spill it. [MUSIC PLAYING] Delvin? [MUSIC PLAYING] OK. So? So Jordan never officially
proposed to Lacey. One day they went shopping. She drags them into
a jewelry store, and while she's trying
on engagement rings, she goes live on social media. Her fans started
posting congratulations, and it just took off from there. Then the show producer
sends out a press release announcing the engagement. She couldn't walk it back
because of repercussions at work. She claims she had nothing to
do with the release going out. Yeah, and I can claim
that Michael B. Jordan said, he dumped his girlfriend
for me, but that ain't happening either. When he told us
what really happened, we told him he didn't have
to go through with it. But he wouldn't listen. He claims they were already
heading in that direction, but I like to think that he
would have come to his senses before proposing
to her if he had been left to his own devices. So is there anyone
special in your life? Actually, I-- [MUSIC PLAYING] I see it all over your face. Don't let that woman jump
the broom with your man. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'll be back. Jordan. Nicole. What you doing here? We need to talk. Where's Lacey? I don't know. She should be here any minute. Something wrong? Yes. I thought we agreed
if you were not gonna postpone this wedding,
then you would at least cut down on some of the posting? What are-- Look at this. This is undermining everything
that we're working towards. I don't think Lacey's
taking this seriously. Taking what seriously? [MUSIC PLAYING] What's up, baby? Taking what seriously? No-- remember when-- because you had said-- Can I talk to Lacey for
a moment alone, please? Yes. Excuse me, I've got to
finish my alterations. [MUSIC PLAYING] Fight for your man. Oh. Hey, girl. [MUSIC PLAYING] Lacey, I need us to
be on the same page if I am going to be
able to do my job. You're right. We do. Thank you. And part of my job is to
promote my life to my fans, and that includes my
relationship with Jordan. Even if that hurts
Jordan's career? I would never do
anything to hurt Jordan. I'm trying to help him. My producers want Jordan to
participate in the filming of our wedding plans. Lacey, that would throw fuel
on the fire that is already engulfing Jordan's career. Nicole, that is not
your decision to make. Now, excuse me? I need to talk to my fiancee. [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh my god. Please change all the passwords
to Jordan's social media accounts. I don't want him posting
anything without my approval, OK? He does not need to be
doing anything on his own. And I know Lacey
thinks she's helping, but I don't want her to go
on there and post something. You got it, boss. Thank you very much. Hey. Is everything OK? You tell me. No cameras. Please stop filming. No, turn that off. Who posted that? Lacey was live streaming as
you were meeting with Jordan. What? I didn't realize she was live. Mark Greene's group shared it,
and now he's posted a response. Mr. All-American
has hired a new PR firm to help rebuild his image. And when he's not
trying to spin the story around his betrayal
of Badger fans, he's out shopping for
his lavish wedding. This guy is not what
you think he is. Follow the hashtag
cancel Jordan Daniels. [MUSIC PLAYING] Jordan is not trending
well on social media. I'm already getting
calls from the network. You need to fix this. [MUSIC PLAYING] What? [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, that's money. Oh, that's a touchdown. Hustle back. Jordan. Nicole, what you doing here? This is amazing. Hosting a football
camp for the kids? Yeah. This right here will play
so well on social media. I'm gonna call some reporters.
- No, no, no. No press. This is perfect
for your image. Yeah, I get that, but I
used to do camps like this all the time when I had time. It's just not for social media. It's important to me. It's my way to keep in
touch with the community. I get that, but see, this
story is what they need to see. This is genuine. It is authentic. It's real. I get that, but
it's not about me. It's about these kids. Now, you gonna stay there with
your hair all prim and perfect? Or you gonna come get this work? Oh, you don't
want none of this. OK, let's go. [MUSIC PLAYING] JORDAN DANIELS: You cheated. NICOLE BARNES: I got the ball. [MUSIC PLAYING] You started it. Let me go. I wasn't ready. My foot slipped. It's my team. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hey, babe. Say hi to my friend. [MUSIC PLAYING] Thank you. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hey. Do we have a meeting? I'm sorry. Carla didn't put
anything on my schedule. No, but something
in today's paper made me think we should talk. Yeah. I-- that's not what it
looks like, Christian. Well, it's something, because
the network is concerned that there's something going
on between the two of you that could cloud your judgment. They want me to pull
you off the account. What? No, they can't do that-- Relax. I told them I wouldn't
pull you off the account, because you were
the best we have. Thank you. But is there something
going on between you and Jordan I need to know about? No, there is nothing going
on between Jordan and I, but there is something
that you should know. Jordan and I dated in college. What? I knew the two of
you went to Drake, but why didn't you tell me? This is a conflict
of interest, Nicole! I know.
I know. Christian, I tried
to tell you, OK? But by the time I had
realized that Jordan was a client of ours,
I didn't want you to take me off the contract. I didn't want you to think
I couldn't handle it. I can.
I have got this. OK?
I promise. In two weeks, I will get
him to sign a new contract, and I am finished. He can go off and marry Lacey. I promise. Please. See that you do, because the
board is concerned as well. Don't give them a reason
not to make you partner. Could this day get any worse? I'm afraid it can. Lacey Jones wants you
to meet her for lunch. [MUSIC PLAYING] LACEY JAMES: Hey. Hey. Look, we need to
work together to fix the situation because of
that photo of you and Jordan. Lacey, I completely agree. There is absolutely nothing
going on between Jordan and I. Jordan told me the same thing. He did? Yes, but the
reason why I called you here is because I have
some ideas I want to share. I can be helpful. Really? OK. I-- what do you mean? Helping me put that
rumor of your relationship with Jordan to rest will
help me and your client. OK. How do you propose we do that? By coming to my
bridal shower Friday. We'll snap some pics
together for social media, and everyone will see
us together as friends. It's the smartest and fastest
way to diffuse rumors. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I must admit, your
plan is not a bad idea. The lemon squeezy and all. I mean, we do both want
what's best for Jordan, so-- Yes, we do. Here's the invitation. Wait, aren't you eating lunch? I would, but I have
to shoot an interview with Lizzo in an hour. Don't forget to bring a gift. Toodles. [NOTIFICATION NOISE] Hey, baby. Hey. [MUSIC PLAYING] Greg, I can explain. Something you want to
tell me about this guy? [MUSIC PLAYING] I knew Jordan in college. We dated for a few years. All you told me
about college was that you were in a
relationship, but it didn't work out after graduation. So what happened? Jordan went to the pros,
and I went off to law school. But why didn't you
tell me all of this when you found out
your ex-boyfriend was gonna be your client? I didn't want
you to get upset. Not to mention it was
such a long time ago. I thought I could handle it. It's just two weeks. That's it, and then Jordan
is out of our lives forever. So you still have feelings
for this guy or what? You guys look pretty
cozy in this picture. No, Greg, I do not
have feelings for Jordan. He's my client. That's it. I promise. When I'm done clearing
up his situation, you and I are off on vacation. Just me and you,
Turks and Caicos. Give us time to get out
of this rut we've been in. Be that fun and spontaneous
couple that we used to be. [MUSIC PLAYING] Well, look. I know we haven't had much
fun with our schedules lately. I miss being that couple, too. You do? Yeah. Good. Then let me finish this up. Then it's just us, I promise. No work, no clients, no
scandals, no clothes. Just me and you. Still on the private jet? Yes, baby. You gonna get your private jet. Come here. You good? Yeah. I'm good. Come here. [MUSIC PLAYING] You better hope that frown
doesn't freeze on your face. Mrs. Daniels, it is
so good to see you. Oh, please. You're grown now. You call me Violet. How have you been? I'm good. I work here in Chicago now. I know. Keith told me. He said, you're working to
help my son rebuild his career. Mm-hm. I can't thank you enough. Well, that's what I do. I'm in crisis management,
so I fix problems. Then tell me why
my son is going through with this
wedding, when we both know he still loves you? I have tried to talk him out of
it, but he just won't listen. Mama Viola, come
take some pics with me. [MUSIC PLAYING] [DOORBELL RINGS] [MUSIC PLAYING] Hey, Carla. Hey. Come in. Sorry to bother you. But the venue contracts for
Jordan's next charity event just came in, so I brought them
over to you for your signature. Thank you. That was very kind, but
you do not have to do that. [TV CHATTER] Oh, I'm sorry. It looks like I'm interrupting
a romantic dinner. MAN: Yeah, that's what
I'm talking about. As you can hear, you're
not interrupting anything. Victoria's Secret
is at it again. NICOLE BARNES: What do you mean? I'm getting married! NICOLE BARNES: A
bachelorette party? Come on. Lacey, you've gotta
be kidding me. Looks like pictures
her friends are posting in real-time are already
starting to trend, and they're tagging
her and Jordan. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hey. One second. What you mean you're
not gonna make it? LACEY JAMES (ON PHONE): I just
finished my exclusive interview with John Legend,
but now my producer wants me to go to
his concert to get some behind-the-scenes footage. So I won't be able to make it. I'm sorry, babe. Nah, that's cool. I understand. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Love you too. What you doing here? Well, my boss chewed me out
over your fiance's antics. I need to talk to both of you. Well, actually-- OK, are we ready
to get started? Um, no. We gonna have to cancel tonight. Lacey can't make it. I'm sorry, but you
really need to practice. You've missed so many sessions. You'll never be ready for the
wedding if you don't practice. You right, but I
don't have a partner. So. What about her? Who, me? No.
No. I don't dance. I have two left feet. That she does. Trust me. Oh? You're here already,
and he needs a partner. Please? Come on, Nicole. Help a brother out. [MUSIC PLAYING] And here we go. And one, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Guys, it's not a death march. Look into her eyes, Jordan. [MUSIC PLAYING] I bet you never thought
you'd be doing this again? What? A wedding dance with my ex? No, this was not in
my Christmas bingo. Watch your posture, Jordan. Hold her close. This is the woman
you love, remember? [MUSIC PLAYING] I have to tell you,
the two left feet? It got way better. You haven't stomped
on my foot once yet. Whatever. [MUSIC PLAYING] [PHONE RINGS] I'm sorry. I need to take this
but keep dancing. [MUSIC PLAYING] Remember when I taught
you how to Chicago step, and you came home with
me for Thanksgiving? Yeah. You still know how to do it? I think so. No, you don't. Oh. OK, hold on, wait. Let me see. One, two, three. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hey, let me see that spin. I see you. Look at Nicky with the bad feet. I see you. I remember a little bit. You know, this is nice. Us two working together again. I'm just trying to
do my job, Jordan. [MUSIC PLAYING] You know this career
of yours is not exactly what I imagined for you. Really? [MUSIC PLAYING] OK, so what exactly
did you imagine for me? No, I'm just saying. Like your passion
for helping people. I figured you'd be like
some big-time Civil Rights attorney or something. Yeah, well, I ended up
going the corporate route to help my dad, but
I like to give back. I do a lot of pro bono work
for charities that I love, so. So that's what-- what makes you way
happier than helping guys like me fix their image, huh? Well, the guys that
I normally help usually have done something wrong
to get in trouble, but you? [MUSIC PLAYING] Yeah. We both know that story. Keep dancing, guys. One, two, three. One, two, three. [MUSIC PLAYING] But what about you? Huh? I mean, you always said that
once you retired from the pros, gonna go back and help kids. No, you are a TV star now. I did not expect that. I guess both of our lives
kind of took a different turn. [MUSIC PLAYING] Yeah, I guess they did, huh? [MUSIC PLAYING] When was the last time
you've been back to Drake for homecoming? I haven't. [MUSIC PLAYING] You haven't been back
to Drake for homecoming? No. You love your alma mater. Why would you not go back? [MUSIC PLAYING] Full transparency? [MUSIC PLAYING] I was afraid that I
might run into you. [MUSIC PLAYING] Full transparency? Please? I only ever went back
hoping I'd run into you. [MUSIC PLAYING] DANCE INSTRUCTOR: I am
so sorry about that. So how are we doing here? I want to leave. Nicole. [MUSIC PLAYING] We called this meeting
because with just one week before Jordan's
contract expires, we're getting concerned
that his favorables aren't improving quickly enough. Also the sanctions
against the college could be announced any day. The social media bashing,
led mostly by Mark Greene, continues to be a problem. Nicole, can you run down
where we are with Jordan's plan? Sure, Christian. Dawn, Paxton, the trajectory
is right on-target. Let's review what we've
accomplished this week. First, we started with a
Christmas tree giveaway, and it went great. Followed that up with a
sports equipment donation at Shreveport Middle School. The coach posted
that the gym flooded, and all the equipment
got destroyed. And Jordan played Santa. Nice job, Nicole. Thank you. We're seeing a lot of
positive posts go up, and the negative posters
are backing down. What's going on with your
meeting with the booster? Trust me, I am
taking care of that. [NOTIFICATION RINGS] I'm sorry. What is it, Nicole? Drake College is suspending
their partnership with Jordan's scholarship program. PAXTON BRIGGS:
But Jordan started that program to
help neighborhood kids get to college. He'll be devastated. Where are you going? To make sure that
Drake College does not kill Jordan's scholarship. So the news is already
out on social media. Drake College ends
partnership with Jordan Daniels over booster scandal. They can't do this. This is about me. This is not about them kids. Jordan, the trustees at
Drake think that they're protecting the school
and the reputation of the football program. But what they're saying I did
has nothing to do with the kids that my foundation sponsored. We're talking about tutors,
mentoring, scholarships? Every year, we send
at least 10 boys and girls to Drake College. This is bull, Nicole. [MUSIC PLAYING] Look, it might be time for
us to tell everybody the truth. What? No. No, I'm not doing that. That we're not doing. No. Listen, you
should not be taking the fall for all of this. Please-- stop! Stop pacing! Can you please let me
help you, so that you do not lose all of this
you've worked so hard for? What about everything
you worked hard for? [MUSIC PLAYING] Did you paint this? Yeah, I did. Jordan Daniels original. OK. Yeah, I did about
five years ago. I do one every year. Give it to the
foundation, so they can auction it off at the gala. It's beautiful, Jordan. You still paint? Who, me? No. No, I don't have time. I work. You should. You're so talented. Remember that cute,
young girl that thought the dumb jock
couldn't possibly know anything about art? OK, I will admit I
thought you were only taking that class for an easy A. OK.
I was. I know you were. At first. At first. Coach thought it
was a good idea. He was like, you know,
it's a stress reliever, and I love to paint.
So. You took the
class to meet girls. Stop playing with me. I know-- I know you. Stop.
- I did. - I know you.
- But it didn't work. Every time I tried
to talk to you, you wouldn't listen to
nothing I was saying. You was all this Jordan, please. You're interrupting my work. Wait a minute, I do
not sound like that. Stop. You sound exactly like that. Whatever. You weren't taking it
seriously, just like now. That's your thing. I wasn't. I know. Until you told
me that if I wanted to be an athlete
and an artist, I should be more like Ernie Barnes
and less like a class clown. Wait, I said that? OK, maybe I said-- Yes, you said that, and you
hurt my little feelings, too. And I went right
back to my dorm room, and I looked up Ernie Barnes. Yeah? But you came back
the next day, and you told me everything about him. Yeah, you're right. Ernie was dope, too. He was a Pro Football
legend and a great artist. He painted the iconic dynamite
painting from "Good Time." Don't do that.
Put your hands down. What's wrong with my-- You might be--
no, don't do that. You might be a Renaissance
man, but you have never been good at impersonations ever. Look at that smile. [MUSIC PLAYING] You always made me
feel like I could be more than a football player. I think you have your
coach to thank for that. You know. I can thank you
for other things. And what's that? Well-- [MUSIC PLAYING] --I could thank you for
making me take that class, where I met my first love. [MUSIC PLAYING] Don't look away. Nicky. [MUSIC PLAYING] You really are the
only person that ever believed in me off that field. [MUSIC PLAYING] Jordan, you are engaged. I know. Can I ask you a question? Of course. Anything. Why are you with her? I mean, I saw the video, so I
know you didn't really propose. We talked about
marriage a lot, and although I wasn't ready,
when her team dropped the press release, I didn't have the heart
to embarrass her by telling everybody what really happened. Of course you didn't. OK. Well, then, what about now? [MUSIC PLAYING] What about now? [MUSIC PLAYING] [DOOR CLOSES] Baby. Hey. I came as soon
as I saw the news. Are you OK? Yeah-- They can't do this to you! No, I'm good. I'm good. Me and Nicole were
just discussing how we were gonna make it right.
- Yeah. How can you let
this happen, Nicole? Lacey. Lacey. Look, while this might
be a bit of a setback, we can still turn it around. I outlined my initiatives
with Paxton and Dawn, so all I need to do now is
get Mark Greene on our side. Why would we want
to involve him? Because if we can
turn Mark Greene, we turn an enemy into an ally. It's much more powerful
than just hashtag and protesters going away. How are we gonna do that? By giving Mark Greene
something that he does not yet know he needs. [MUSIC PLAYING] What do you mean
you're not coming? I got 100 people coming
for a holiday meal. Hi, Mr. Greene. Is everything OK? No. No, it's not. But what are y'all doing here? NICOLE BARNES: Well,
Jordan and his family wanted to come
by, and volunteer, and donate some food. So they brought some baskets. Thanks, but my caterer
just cancelled last minute because of some emergency. I don't have anyone to cook
or serve this Christmas meal. We haven't even started
setting up the dining hall or decorating. That sounds terrible. My father started this
shelter over 40 years ago, and we've never missed
one holiday meal. Well, don't worry. You are not gonna
start this year. I think I can help. Give me a second. Hey, guys. Hi, Mrs. Viola. Hey. What's up, Jordan? So Mr. Greene needs
some help, and I think this is a
great opportunity to help out Jordan's image. If you know what I mean? Go over there. So I hear you need
some volunteers. And I hear you need a cook. And I heard you
need a decorator. I don't know what to say. You don't got to say anything. Just let me back
you up this time. Just put us to work. We normally have a
lot more people help. Mark, don't worry about that. We got you.
We're gonna make it work. Just lead the way. All right. Let's go. NICOLE BARNES: Hey, baby. I'm over here at
Helping Hands off of 14, and we could really use your
help serving some of this food. So can you give
me a call or text me when you're on your way? All righty, let's put these on. Here you go, Keith. Here you go, Mrs. Daniels. And for you, I have
a small, Lacey. Carla, no, Carla. Take a better angle. Oh, no, no. Carl, no social media. Jordan, that's the whole
reason why we're here. I get that, Nicky,
but can we just help them today and not me? Please? OK. You're the boss. Thanks. So you ready to get the
kitchen up and running? You know it. Let's go. Everybody huddle up. Keith, I need you
on the collards. Got it. I got the yams and the corn. Mama, I'm gonna
need you on the mac and cheese and those dumplings. You got it, baby. Oh, Nicky. I need you to go to Big JB's
Barbecue and order everything they got on the menu. Copy that, QB1. Hey, what about me? You and Carla help Delvin with
moving tables, or decorating, or something. [MUSIC PLAYING] I need y'all to move, people,
because we got about four hours to create a
Christmas miracle for a lot of hungry people. All right?
Teamwork makes the dream work. Let's get these hands in here.
NICOLE BARNES: All right. One, two, three. Teamwork! All right. Woo. Crystal. Glad I got you. I need you to help
me play Santa. [MUSIC PLAYING] All righty. So what do you think? I can't believe
you did all this. Yeah, well, go ahead. Check it out. Where did all these
presents come from? Man, nobody should spend
Christmas without presents, so had my assistant
do some shopping. Man, I can't believe
you did all this for me. Don't worry about it. After all I-- Hey, hey, listen. I know how important
Drake College is to you and the football team,
so I just want you to know how important it is to me, too. You know? Why would you help me now? I grew up in a
neighborhood just like this, so I know how
important shelters are and what they mean to people. And there it is. I thought you forgot
where you came from. Man, places like this kept me
and my brother off the streets. That's the only reason
why I am where I am today. I've never forgotten that. I don't know what I
would have done today without you or your family. Hey, you won't never have to. All right, looks like it's
time to let them in, guys. Hit it, DJ. Come on in. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Come on in. Come on in. Hi, Merry Christmas. [MUSIC PLAYING] MARK GREENE: There's
a lot of people. There's a lot of people. You did it. We did it. [MUSIC PLAYING] You know this never would
have been possible if you hadn't suggested we come here, right? Thanks for everything, Nicole. You're welcome. You're still cocky, I see. I'm not cocky, but I'm right. Oh, yeah. Right. Am I? Good job. It's good to see you two
work so well together. Hope I-- Mama. Mrs. Daniels! Mama.
Mama! Carla! Call the paramedics! Mrs. Daniels? Mama? Is she OK? Yeah, she forgot to take
her blood pressure medication, so she fainted. They just want to keep
her overnight to monitor. I'm so glad your mom's OK. She'll be all right. I was so worried. I know. Hey, Jordan? The doc wants to review your
mom's medications with us. All right. I'll be back, guys. Thank goodness she's OK. I know what
you're trying to do. I'm sorry? What do you mean? I know you want him back. Lacey, I am just doing my job. I see the way you look at
him, but it's not gonna work. There's nothing going
on between Jordan and I. If that's true,
I guess you won't be seeing him anymore, right? What's that supposed to mean? Well, this was the
last event in your plan, so now your work here is done. Stay away from my man. [MUSIC PLAYING] Greg! Hey, man. I didn't hear you come in. Did you not get my
messages about meeting me at the shelter today? Oh, yeah. I meant to call you. You meant to call me? I needed you today, Greg. I'm sorry. I couldn't make it. I don't know what
it is, but you cannot figure out how to put me first. Babe, I knew you
would figure it out. You always do. OK, tell me. What was so important
you couldn't make it? Well, Rick and some of the
other guys from the office came over, and we were
watching football all day. Football? I couldn't just
up and leave them here after inviting them over. Would it have killed you to
skip the games for one day? Huh? Hell, you could have
brought them with you. I need all the help I could get. Greg, you have to
start to put me first. [MUSIC PLAYING] For what? To help Jordan? I know he's your ex,
and it's your job to help him rebuild his career. But he ain't nothing
but a greedy player who got caught with his
hand in the cookie jar. I'm surprised you
didn't see him for who he really was in college. Jordan Daniels deserves
whatever happens to him. So that's what
you think about him? Yes. That he's just a greedy
athlete that's out here buying flashy cars and jewelry? Damn straight! That booster said
he took the money. Jordan did take that money. OK. He took the money for me. [MUSIC PLAYING] What are you talking about? My senior year of college. My dad got laid off from work. He could barely pay his bills,
let alone pay my tuition. All of a sudden, I have a very
hefty bill, no student loans, and if I didn't pay
it, then I would be forced to withdraw from school. Jordan knew that. So he took the money from a
booster and gave it to me, so I could pay my final bill
and graduate from college. You've got to be kidding me. No, I'm not kidding you. And when Jordan got an agent,
he knew what happened and said, if anyone ever found out,
Jordan would be in trouble. He advised that we
didn't date anymore, and Jordan didn't
want that to happen. But I knew that if it got
out, Jordan's entire career would be over, so I
broke it off with him right before graduation. [MUSIC PLAYING] I can't believe this, Nicole. Yeah, well, we'll leave it. The man that you were bashing,
Greg, was willing to give up everything for me. And I can't even get you
to get off the couch. How could you
keep this from me? And how do you know
you're not gonna get dragged into this drama now? And then what? My clients aren't gonna be
happy to see my girlfriend connected to this scandal. Why are you worried
about all your clients? Come on. That's all you hear. Your clients. I told you all of that, and
that's all you worried about? Nicole. You know what, Greg? I can't do this. Do what? For a long time, you and
I have looked really good on paper, but face it. We are a pair of
perfectly-matched resumes, but that's it. It's time. [MUSIC PLAYING] Time to pop the champagne. Champagne? Christian, it is 10
o'clock in the morning. I have told you a
million times, if you're gonna drink in the morning,
you have to at least mix it with orange juice. Well, hm, since it's
6:00 PM in London, and that's where you're
meant to be going. What are you talking about? Cheers to you, partner. Paxton and Dawn called
right after they saw this video Mark just posted. They're sending over
Jordan's new contract. MARK GREENE: I want
to apologize to Jordan Daniels and his entire family. Today, I had a chance
to see who he really is. I'm calling off the protest. I'm encouraging all of you
to reach out to SportsLive to reinstate Jordan
and for Drake College to continue
their partnership with his foundation. Regardless of what he may
have done in the past, Jordan's a good man
with a big heart. Wow. Nice. At first, I
couldn't believe you didn't post anything on social
media, but then I got it. You knew that Mark would see the
act as more authentic if there wasn't any media attention. That's brilliant, Nicole. That's just the kind of
maneuvering we need in London. You know me. I was ready to pull out
all my social media stops, but he didn't want press. No coverage. What are you doing? Resignation? But the board just
made you partner. You were going to head
the London office. At that shelter, Jordan just
wanted to do the right thing, and I think it's
time I do the same. Christian, I have not been
completely honest with you. I know I told you
about Jordan and I, but it was not the whole truth. [MUSIC PLAYING] Why are we back here again? We don't have to serve
any more meals, do we? No, we don't, Lacey. I just have some equipment
I got to drop off to Mark. He got a ton of
children in there, and I think they deserve
some good equipment. You know I'm gonna be spending
a lot more time here, right? Hey, man, what
are you doing here? Got something for you. When we were here,
you said the kids would use some pretty
beat-up, old equipment. So I figured get
them some new gear. Oh, man, but you've
done so much already. But the kids are gonna love it. I was thinking
I'd like to come spend some time with the kids. You know, set up a full-time
football clinic, art camp. You know, man, when you took
my starting spot in college and went pro, I hated you. I thought you were
living my life. Well, and when that
booster story came out? I thought it was my
chance to get revenge. How did you know
I took the money? That same booster
told me back in college when he tried to give me
money, and I turned him down. All right. I thought about turning you
in, but I knew it'd be my word against the superstar athlete. Mark, there's some
things you've got to know about why I took that money. Doesn't even matter, man. All that matters
now is who you are. Now. I was wrong. I'm sorry. [MUSIC PLAYING] It's all love. [MUSIC PLAYING] Yo, enjoy, man. Give my best to the kids. You know, you're
not gonna have any more time to spend
here now that you're gonna be back on TV. You need to focus on
what really matters. You know, you right. We need to talk. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hello, loves. I've got some news. I've called off my engagement. I'll always love
Jordan, but he and I are just meant to be friends. And he couldn't be any
happier for me, because-- drumroll. --I'm headed to LA to star
in a new reality show. Deets coming soon. Smooches. As we head into
the postseason, all eyes will be on San
Francisco and Dallas, and, of course, the
difference makers for both will be their quarterbacks. Let's take a look at their
strengths and weaknesses. Now, before we close out
this Christmas episode, let's take a look at
the sports ranker app and see what's trending right
now in the world of sports. Looks like I'm trending again. PAXTON BRIGGS: The only
reason you're trending is because there's a video
of Nicole that's trending. She's telling the
whole world that she's the one that took the money
from the booster and not you. We're running it now. NICOLE BARNES: I have spent my
entire career keeping secrets for some of the most
powerful people, and now it is time
for me to come clean about a secret of my own. 15 years ago, I took
money from a booster to pay my college tuition. Jordan Daniels took
that money to help me. I apologize for any harm
my actions may have caused, and I take full responsibility. I am so very sorry. [MUSIC PLAYING] That's all the time
we have for today. I'm Jordan Daniels. Thanks for watching. Where is she?
- I'll text it to you. Just go. Jordan? What are you doing here? Carla told me. But what about Lacey? I mean, I saw the video, but-- Lacey will be fine. My agent set her up with
some producers in LA. She's gonna get her
own show, so that's all she ever wanted, anyway. [MUSIC PLAYING] Nicky, when I first saw you
in that conference room, I knew that I still loved you. I mean, I tried my hardest to
get my feelings to go away, but there they were. And there you were helping
me get my life back, and that's when I realized
that you are my life, Nicky. [MUSIC PLAYING] Jordan, I have
missed you so much. And I've tried to hide my
feelings for you, but I can't. You don't have to, because I
don't want to spend another day without you, Nicole. I don't want to spend another
day without you, Jordan. Wait, what are you doing? [MUSIC PLAYING] You didn't think
I was gonna let Christmas go by without
getting you a present, did you? Jordan, you did not
have to buy me a gift. Shh. [MUSIC PLAYING] After all these years,
you saved the ring? Of course I did. [MUSIC PLAYING] We can call it our
second chance, right? I like that. It's a fresh start. Yeah. For both of us. I love you, Nicole. I love you, Jordan. [MUSIC PLAYING] BOTH: Merry Christmas. [MUSIC PLAYING]
