Anyway, Landry and Matt arrive with Guitar Hero in hand. Landry not-so-subtly asks if Matt heard about him and Tyra. Matt plays along like a good friend and says that yes, he saw them together. Landry informs him that Tyra is dynamite in the sack, to which Matt replies that it's probably because she's had a lot of practice. Dudes, Mrs. Clarke is five feet away in the kitchen. Is this really the sort of thing you want her to be hearing? She's making a casserole, for heaven's sake.
After staying up all night to do a little research on the internets, Jason tracks down Erin the waitress at her restaurant. He may have also taken a few snorts of something, because a massive nonstop biology lesson starts spewing out of his mouth, as he claims that there's almost no chance that this could have happened and that it really is a miracle. He chases her through the restaurant as she tries to escape the furious barrage of erection facts, quadriplegic sex trivia and anatomical charades that he's performing, attempting even to illustrate the sperm being deposited into the semen by poking her in the ovaries, which she does not seem to enjoy.

"Security!"
She attempts to calm him down, but then he says that one of the worst things that happened after his injury was that people told him he could never be a father, and now this is his only chance. She counters that that is not his decision to make and that he was just a one night stand. "It was one of the greatest nights of my life," he says quickly with a lovesick puppy look. She correctly looks at him like he's crazy, then tells him to go home and runs off to touch up her "I'm washed out!" makeup.
Smash is in a meeting with a guy trying to sell him on arena football. I know nothing about this sport, but the feeling I'm getting from Smash is that it's a joke. Especially when Smash says, "It's a joke." That was my first clue. But then the guy starts throwing around all sorts of crazy figures and promises of pro football, and Smash's face lights up like a Christmas tree again.
Tami and Coach attend the benefit and watch as Moe dedicates the new helicopter to the hospital. After, he meets up with them and toasts to Coach's State win. He keeps talking and acting generally inappropriate with Tami, while Coach looks on and mutters forced pleasantries. Moe says that he will be coming to this Friday's game, and Tami bubbles that he can sit with her. This results in a fantastic look from Coach. Moe bounds off to the helicopter, where he has the honor of taking the inaugural flight. Tami watches him in awe, while Coach watches her in fury.

"I'm gonna bag me a prize gurnsey!"

"I will devour your soul."
The next day, it's like the joys of Christmas and my birthday and Flag Day are all rolled into one, as we are blessed with a Coach-Jason scene. At Applebee's, no less! It's a Dillon miracle! Jason is asking Coach for advice on this whole baby thing, which is new to Coach because he usually gets kids asking about it the other way, in that they do not want to keep the thing. "I can tell you that your children and the mother of your children are the two most important things in life," says Coach. He asks how old Jason is and how old the girl is, and I have a hearty chuckle at the answer that they're both nineteen. Yeah, and I'm the queen of England. Jason insists that she's a great girl and that he's in this for the long haul, but Coach looks dubious. He says that they need trust and honesty, but that he can't give him any easy answers, that he'll have to do it himself. Jason, as usual, looks just about ready to cry.

Is the camera man stalking them from the ceiling? Or does he just really appreciate the priceless art that is the Applebee's glass lampshade?

Ahh Screampillr, thanks for the great recap. I really hope this is the final episode of FNL. I am definitely hoping that there will be a 3rd season but if not that at least a few more episodes to wrap up this season. Best Week Ever has a petition to sign to keep the Panther pride alive, god I'm a dork. But thanks for the awesome recaps this season! And I will fin you and your basement and probably move in.

Ugh, that should say I hope this is NOT the final episode of FNL. Too early, not enough coffee.

I think the prize "gursey" is some sort of cow.

Always love your recaps Scream! Im glad Smash has finally stopped begging - so out of character for him.
And the Dodgeball scene? I liked it because I got to see all those pretty boys in action without their uniforms....yum-MO!

Another fine recap...
Let's all hope that this wasn't the last FNL ever.
(So much better than most of the stuff on TV.)
Another good, different, ensemble show I would recommend is October Road.
Thanks.

Loved the recap, and I am a dork for the entire cast as well. As a matter of fact I was in the theatre and a preview of the "Prom Night" remake came on. I starting moaning about how awful this would be until I saw Jason Street on the screen. Then I just look at my wife and said, "Crap! Now we have to see it."
Here's hoping the boys come back in the fall.

I really hope this show continues, it really is so much better than most of the crap on TV. Loved the recaps again this season Screampillr!

"Not wonderful: Moe, who snaps that they could have had a shutout and in a blind rage almost punts little Gracie Belle right onto the field."
LOL! Hysterical recap, especially the screen-caps.

Screampillr, I've been loving FNL and your recaps since the pilot and hope I don't ever have to go without either.
Crocheting FNL handbags? How adorable are you? I may have to write Peter Berg and get you added to the cast. You would make a great Rally Girl for #33!
