As the characters in All American season 5 continue to mourn losing Billy Baker (Taye Diggs), they also find themselves trying to slowly move on with life. Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) in particular spends the episode titled "Make Me Proud," which aired on March 20, searching for clarity about his future at GAU and how to step into his dad's shoes when it comes to his family. To put it frankly, the stress of trying to figure out what to do next weighs heavily on the young Baker. He turns to Layla (Greta Onieogou), who accidentally makes a confession as she offers him some help.
While Layla is getting things ready for Patience's (Chelsea Tavares) music video premiere party, Jordan walks in distraught. Not only is he reeling from Spencer's (Daniel Ezra) self-destructive and selfish behavior, but he's also feeling conflicted about what to do about his future football career and A.D. Barnes (Morris Chestnut). Hoping to gain some perspective from his girlfriend, she offers him some sage words of advice.
