How does Will do in his first game?
Zenith Hype beats Compton 86-80 with a massive game from Will, where he took over the game on the offensive side of the ball. Even after taking a hard foul from the opposing team, Will got back up and hit two three throws to seal the game.
During the game, a man was watching over and had eyes on Doc. After the game, Geoffrey and Phil oversaw the man confronting Doc loudly in the parking lot. Vivian was terrified she would lose the fellowship after her Instagram post, but the team came over to offer her the executed fellowship job that Janice held.

Regardless of being at odds, Will confronts Carlton to tell him that not only did Drew leak the video, but also about their being together. In school, Carlton confronts Lisa about Drew, but she tells him that all she will ever be is friends with him. He follows by telling her she was desperate after Will dumped her.
