I’ve seen this before. Jordan gets an emotional reckoning. Again. Layla holds his hand. Meanwhile, Crenshaw fights for Preach like it’s a season finale. Uncomfortable question: how many times can a show return to its roots before we admit the roots are just Jordan’s man-pain? The community’s struggle is set dressing. That’s not drama, that’s a loophole.
