Previously on "Hit the Floor"...
You're a Devil Girl again.
You want me back? No, this is Derek.
I'm not gonna stay here just to watch you
get caught up with Derek Roman again.
I'm coming for her.
If I was trying to buy the Devils...
What do you want?
Agree to trade Derek and I'll keep my mouth shut.
Kyle. Beau?
Since when are you a movie producer?
Since I learned how much money you can make off it.
You want in for half?
Let's make a bomb.
If we're gonna keep the league at bay,
I need to cut you out.
You can't cut me out of my own team.
I can and I have.
Should I leave first or should you?
I'm still your secret!
You work for Oscar. I do.
What's that for?
Your suicide note.
Aah!
I'm moving in. I'm also gonna hire someone
to look after you when I'm not around.
Oscar is not getting another crack at you.
I need it now... for protection.
Why am I the only one moving out?
I'll be fine here.
This is a precaution.
Pete's moving in, he's hired me a bodyguard.
Let's focus on the positive.
What positive?
You're back where you wanna be,
with the Devil Girls.
And your new roomie's pretty hot.
He a'ight.
This was everything that was left
in your closet.
Uh...
these are mine.
German, thank you for always being so protective of Ahsha.
I'm not gonna let her out of my sight.
You look tired.
He hasn't been sleeping.
I'm just excited about opening game.
I'll bring this out to the car.
Opening game's a pretty big deal for you too.
You're choreographing.
Did Jelena bust a blood vessel?
At least tell me she hit a wall slide.
It's hard to feel good about anything
when you're going through all of this.
All of this will be over soon.
In the meantime, I'm not letting Oscar
get to me one damn bit, and don't you, either.
You can't split profits if there aren't any.
So, we need to make sure that the movie of your life
is a bigger turd than "Juwanna Mann".
Well, making Teddy the director was a good start.
He's off scouting locations.
Poor thing thinks he's creating a masterpiece.
Well, I'm shocked he thinks at all.
First things first. Since it's my life story,
we're gonna need a lot of men.
Hot, stupid men.
I put out a casting call and I booked a room.
We don't even have a script yet though,
so what are they gonna read?
These.
Okay.
Yeah, um... I think we're gonna need an actual script,
and I'm gonna need you to help me with that.
It's supposed to be crap, get a monkey to help you.
You're in on this for half, you need to help me with half.
Raquel?
What are you doing here?
Didn't you have a date last night?
I did, but it was over by 10:00.
I found this awesome series on Netflix though...
That is not a new leaf, that is an old leaf.
An old, dry, sexless leaf.
She can do casting.
Yeah, just let her be surrounded by hot, stupid men.
Casting?
Yeah.
Meet my mystery producer.
Great. This is all set up for you.
I thought we weren't spending any money on this movie.
Now, we can afford a casting director?
This is important.
So is making sure the guys in this movie are packing.
Talent. Packing talent.
You know, all famous writers, they go to Big Bear
and they lock themselves in a cabin.
Then they just pound away at their screenplays.
I suppose a decent script is important.
You know, I'm completely aware
you're talking about sex, right?
Dee.
How you doing?
Good.
You don't have to be good, I know it's tough
sitting out. For now.
I'll be back calling the shots.
Don't you worry.
Of course. All right.
I feel like garbage.
Agreeing to trade Derek to shut Zero up.
We did what we had to do.
Now, we focus on what's next.
We've got the money to buy the team.
Now, we need to convince the league to take it.
And how do we that?
We don't.
Someone else does.
Derek's back, it's great, we couldn't be happier.
Hey, boss.
I'll call you back.
I thought I told you at the masquerade,
unless you have something to offer me...
Stay away, right.
I have something to offer you.
Information.
What information?
I know who the potential buyers for the team are.
Who?
Terrence and Jelena.
Not only that, they made a deal with me.
If I kept my mouth shut about it,
they'd trade Derek.
Why would you tell me this?
That deal would be great for you.
I didn't make it for me.
I made it for you, so you had something
to do real damage with when you needed to.
I appreciate it.
But information is not what I'm looking for from you.
It doesn't change anything between us.
The delusion!
How big must their egos be
to think they can pull something off like this?
I wouldn't underestimate them.
After that game seven, Terrence is a god.
And Jelena, she's...
A deranged bitch.
They must not have all the support they need yet
for this to be a secret.
I'm gonna beat them at their own game.
They can throw a big party?
I can throw a bigger one.
I'm gonna turn opening game
into the biggest media event this sport has ever seen.
What's so important?
Actually, I just asked to see the Devil Girl
in charge of the first dance.
But since you're here,
I suppose I could fill you in.
Opening game is going to be a no-expense-spared epic.
Every fan is getting in for free.
There's going to be a lottery to decide who gets tickets.
I'm flying the media out to Vegas on the Devils' jet
so they can cover the numbers being pulled.
Whoa.
What does this have to do with the Devil Girls?
I'm ponying up 200-grand
to put on the biggest show halftime's ever seen.
You're giving the Devil Girls $200,000?
No... I'm giving Ahsha $200,000.
For this one dance.
Are you serious?
Can you imagine how much press Ahsha's gonna get?
I don't imagine.
Excuse me, I have work to do...
as do you.
I'm going there to socialize
with some of the other team owners.
You'll be drawing the winning lottery numbers
and doing a few interviews.
So, make sure you work on that pageant smile.
I'll be?
Pack your bags, Ahsha. You're going to Vegas.
What we're about to share with you
is beyond sensitive.
Your discretion would be much appreciated.
Lionel is a huge problem for everyone.
So, we're stepping up to do something about it.
We're making a play to buy the team.
And we need your help to do it.
Solid piece. Hardly any kickback.
You got a good deal.
Well, you can't tell Pete I have it.
Even if he's paying you to watch me,
if he knew I had it...
I won't say a word.
I think you were smart to get it however you got it.
Some people would argue, but I think you're safer
having it given your situation.
But only if you know how to properly fire it.
I haven't thought that far ahead...
actually shooting it.
Well, you have to.
Like this.
Why would Terrence and Jelena want you?
Well, the last time a team was forced onto the auction block,
a team's coach pulled a lot of sway.
They're counting on me to help trump
whatever favor Lionel has left.
No way should you even consider it.
Well, I thought you wanted Lionel out.
I do, but not to make room for Jelena.
I think it's a good idea.
Anyone else but Lionel means that you're safer.
Jelena is a snake,
the kind that can't even be bothered
to unhinge her jaw.
Yeah, but Jelena has one thing that Lionel doesn't.
Terrence.
Sloane, he is a good guy. Pete...
Meet with him, just... before you make up your mind,
just meet with him.
Okay.
Lucas.
Hey. Jude.
Listen, um... I wanted to say sorry
about our date.
I know I was a buzzkill going on and on
about another guy.
I'm trying to be better about that.
So, hypothetically, if we were to go out again,
I wouldn't have to hear about Mr. Perfect?
He's not perfect, not by...
You wouldn't have to hear about him.
Good.
I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8:00.
Wear something slutty.
Whoo!
Mmm.
Whoo!
I thought we were supposed to be writing.
Oh, yeah, right. Okay.
Fade in.
Kyle Hart dances her way
into L.A. in search of love.
Wait, now, hold on.
I didn't come here in search of love.
What'd you come in search of?
Anything with a gift receipt.
Okay.
Kyle Hart loved men.
She also loved gifts.
From all her many men,
her favorite gift was...
Her divorce from her no-good husband.
Hmm.
What?
That was thanks to me.
Her apartment was a good gift too.
Yeah. Two walk-in closets.
Closets are good.
I need a break.
I could use one too. Yeah? Oh.
So, these are gonna be glowing on the day.
I'll show you how you're gonna be using them.
Lasers will fall from there.
And from there and from...
Jelena?
Need my help already?
I need you to get in position so you can learn the steps.
Mmm.
I'll pick them up, don't worry.
Timing needs to be perfect
when there's $200,000 worth of bells and whistles
going off around us.
We need to do this together.
Seriously?
I don't have a lot of time.
I have to leave in an hour to pack for Vegas.
Okay, from the top.
And one and two, three and four.
Whoa, whoa! What happened?
I, uh... I was updating your binders
and I knocked it off the desk.
Here.
How late were you out last night?
There's a lot going on.
Well, I'd get some sleep before you do more damage.
Terrence is out.
I'm in.
All over the place.
You really didn't have to go through all this to say thanks,
but I'm glad you did.
That's all Lionel.
Part of our new media strategy.
You're a valuable member of the team.
Night.
I'm a valuable member of the team?
I mean, you're talking to me like I'm a stranger.
After everything I did for you?
You either refuse to get it or you never will.
I love you.
All right?
I...
I love you, stupid.
I love you too.
And even still, it doesn't matter.
Love isn't enough.
I need someone I can actually be with
like a normal person.
Someone who's able to be there for me in every way.
Can you?
Can you do that?
No.
You looking for some company?
No, I'm just waiting for my room to be ready.
Mine's ready now.
How much?
How much what?
You think I'm a prostitute?
Hey, I'd be happy to help put you through nursing school.
This guy bothering you?
You're... About to be real upset
if you don't back up off my girl.
No. Big fan.
Scared of you.
I'm sorry.
You're staying here too?
Lionel's having a huge media event.
Of course the Roman emperor's gonna be part of it.
So, uh...
lotion me up?
Thank you for meeting me.
I've faced some scary dudes on the court,
but you might be the most intimidating person
I've come across yet.
You shouldn't be intimidated.
You wouldn't be here if Pete didn't put
a whole lot of stock in your opinion.
I don't just wanna buy the Devils.
I want to take us back to where we were.
This team has been put through it,
and I wanna make it great again.
You keep saying "I".
You mean "we".
I know you and Jelena have had difficulties.
I don't think you do.
I just have one question.
Why is someone as noble as Terrence Wall
with someone as vicious as Jelena Howard?
The Jelena I know
is different from the one that most people know.
My Jelena is a woman of... unbelievable strength.
Someone who's been through hell and back in her life.
She's leant me that strength.
When I was ready to give up on myself,
she used her damage to heal mine.
And for that... I will always be grateful.
You heard right, no expense spared.
And that includes the dance.
Here to pull the lottery numbers
and answer a few questions about the dance,
please welcome all-star Ahsha Hayes.
Congratulations on getting this dance.
What can we expect?
You'll just have to wait and see.
How's your mom doing with Oscar's trial coming up?
You can't keep a good Devil Girl down.
Ahsha, you two were the "it" couple.
What happened?
Derek Roman happened.
Dating him isn't easy and she learned that the hard way.
Hopefully, that wasn't my one crack at a great woman.
But if it was, I...
I wouldn't change it for anything.
All right, who's ready to give out tickets, huh?
Let's do it.
So? How'd it go with Terrence?
I was impressed.
He's a good guy, I see why you like him.
So, you support my backing them with the league?
Not a chance in hell.
Terrence is completely whipped by Jelena.
She walks on water as far as he's concerned.
And as long as those two are together,
that girl will always be controlling things.
That's something I will never support.
Are these the auditions for "50 Shades of Kale"?
Uh, "Kyle", yeah.
I'm exhausted.
Writing is hard work.
Yeah.
So far, all we have is "Fade in."
I don't have any love stories.
Never said "I love you" to anyone,
even when I was married to Benny.
All that candy-coated garbage is just, ugh.
Yeah, I never said it to anyone either.
What do you say we just cut and paste from "Twilight"
and just change the names?
Works for me.
What good is having a dad that rich
if you never get to spend any of it?
It wasn't his money I was after.
What I wanted, he couldn't give me.
Kind of a running theme in my life.
Seems like you're doing okay.
Does it? Good.
No, I'm doing better, but...
I still don't really know what I'm doing.
I don't have family dinners, I don't go out with friends.
I don't date.
I don't do anything normal people do.
It can be... lonely.
That's why your wheels are always turning.
You're strategizing how to get what you want.
You're strategizing this date right now.
I don't wanna screw this up.
Turn off your brain, Jude.
You're doing just fine.
Sloane met with Terrence and she still said no.
You have hurt the two most important women
in my life more than once.
You should know...
I'm gonna be watching you every step of the way together.
You're still going to back us?
Why?
Oscar's coming at Sloane
and there's not much that I can do to stop it.
And whether she personally likes it or not,
this is my best way to get the Kincades out.
I'll set the meeting with the league.
Here we go.
Whoo!
Look, it's a Devil Girl.
Not a Devil Girl, the Devil Girl.
Come play. I can't, I need to...
Who wants Ahsha to stay?
What do you say? Will you roll the dice?
Okay.
You want me to blow on it for luck?
I have to go.
It happened.
I know you wanna talk about it, or...
No, no. No conversation necessary.
No pressure here.
Whatever happens next is on you.
I have to tell him. If you tell German...
Please, don't say his name.
He will break up with you.
I have to go.
Lionel...
if you brought us owners out here
just to brag about how much you're pouring
into your first game, come on.
I'm not just throwing cash at a game,
I'm investing in the entire season.
Player development, staff training,
community relations.
What's good for one team is good for us all, am I right?
Oscar would never put up that kind of dough.
I'm so much more fun than Oscar.
Hey, I just heard Pete booked a meeting with the league.
Do I need to be there?
You're not invited, Terrence and Jelena are.
Prepare yourself, Jude.
This is about to get ugly.
I hate to grind and run, but there's something
back in L.A. that needs my immediate attention.
So, no spare toothbrush?
You're my second guest ever.
Hey, I wanna see you again.
Meet me after the game later?
Courtside?
Is... is that cool?
It's a date.
How was your trip?
Fine.
Big game today.
I was wondering if... Maybe if after,
we could talk, catch up?
Sure.
There are too many good-looking guys here.
Supposed to be making a bomb, not a beefcake calendar.
We need terrible actors, but I won't have ugly ones.
Kyle Hart does not roll around with pigs.
Well, not totally.
Kyle.
Please tell me you stocked up on tall, dark and easy.
I narrowed down the choices.
This guy went to Juilliard,
this guy was in a fast food commercial,
but it was the one that makes you cry
where the father... Raquel!
Did you spend the last two days actually casting?
What else was I supposed to be doing?
Hooking up.
That's not only inappropriate, it's a lawsuit.
Which one of you would say screw a role
to go out with this hot piece right here?
What's wrong with her?
I didn't understand the question.
A piece of what?
He's perfect. You get the part.
The rest of you get to give her your digits.
Don't call us, she'll call you.
And you will.
Oh my God.
The dance is in a few hours.
There's supposed to be screens and laser lights
and smoke machines. Where are they?
Huh.
I... guess they couldn't fit through the door.
You're unbelievable.
You'd put on a crappy dance opening day?
No. I wouldn't.
I hope your improv skills are good.
If you need me to step in, just... let me know.
Hey. You ready to go to the game?
Almost.
This was left outside my door.
I don't know what it means.
I know what it means.
It means I can't work for you anymore.
I don't understand.
This is my daughter Rausse at pre-school.
Oscar knows how to get to her when I'm not around.
Oh, Patrick.
I underestimated your situation
and how far he would go.
You don't need me, you need the police.
They should have you under protective custody.
Leave my home?
I wish I had a better suggestion.
Thanks for taking this leap with us, it means a lot.
You ready? We're ready.
Ha, did we miss the meeting?
Your meeting is no longer necessary.
What are you talking about?
The league is pressing pause
on the sale of the Devils.
Pressing pause? Why?
Derek.
Derek couldn't wait to tell the league
what a fantastic job I was doing,
and how upset he would be if that were to change...
after I filled him in on Terrence and Jelena's plans
for the future.
I did schmooze some of the other owners in Vegas,
but I think it was Derek's star power
that just put me right over the top.
What are you talking about? "Plans for the future?"
You should really have a conversation
with the people you align yourself with?
When did you become this?
Someone who takes pleasure in harming other people?
That wasn't the Lionel that I fell in love with.
I had no idea I hurt you this badly.
You're right.
You changed me.
You made me into this angry person
who just wants to hurt people the way that you hurt me.
Get over yourself, Pete.
You're not that special.
See you at the game.
Thank you, Devils Nation. It'll be a great season.
How the hell did Derek find out about our deal?
How do you think?
You had a chance to get rid of him.
Maybe it wasn't Derek I was trying to get rid of.
Payback's a bitch.
Let me explain.
Rot on the bench.
And now, welcome the L.A. Devil Girls!
It's the Devil Girls' first dance of the season
choreographed by Ahsha Hayes.
You're not gonna stay
for the second half?
What kind of agent are you?
I need to disappear.
I'm supposed to meet Jude courtside after the game,
and that's not gonna happen.
This feels a bit more personal than professional.
I had sex with Jude.
Oh, yeah?
He's hot.
And the body he is hiding underneath that suit...
I've been dying to hit that for like a year.
But Jesus, is he needy and neurotic!
Oscar wrecked him for life, and he's totally undateable.
But Jude's used to disappointment.
He'll be fine.
Catch you later.
Sloane, what...
I was trying to reach you, but you were too busy
going behind my back with Jelena and Terrence.
I was trying to reach you
because I had a difficult decision to make,
and I had to make that decision alone.
What are you talking about?
I'm going into protective custody.
Until the trial, that's where I'll be.
Sloane? Sloane?
The Devils are down by three
with seconds left in regulation.
Zero's got it, takes it to the hoop!
The Devils are down by one now.
Oh, Roman steals the inbound pass!
There's a jumper for the game!
Oh, Roman drains it!
Wow, at the buzzer, the Devils win!
What a game!
I haven't seen German. Have you?
No, he wasn't on the bench.
Hey, have you seen German?
You don't know? Know what?
He was in a car accident.
I just heard that they brought...
Oh, I have to go!
Can't talk now, I'm meeting someone.
Lucas isn't coming.
Why not?
'Cause I told him not to.
Oh, Jesus.
My car is totaled.
I was driving to the game.
But I was so tired.
I ran a red light.
And the next thing I knew...
I knew something like this was gonna happen.
German, you've been so stressed.
It's not just the game, it's... there's other stress.
You're not an idiot,
of course you picked up on it.
I'm so sorry.
This is what I've been wanting to talk to you about, tell you.
Ahsha, I've been so messed up.
For months.
Months?
Ahsha...
I killed Olivia.
Next time on "Hit the Floor"...
German, you didn't kill Olivia.
She said she'd tell everyone. I couldn't let her.
Since I can't trust anyone on the outside,
this is the safest place for me. When can I come back?
Maybe you shouldn't come back for a while.
You want my statement?
That's my statement.
If making Lionel suffer is your goal,
you couldn't have picked a better partner.
The arena is closed. Have everyone out in 30
or I call the police.
The bitch needs to go.
