Long Shot

Iris is having a difficult day at work when she receives word from Human Resources that she got a raise. When she realizes that August is responsible, she understands that he is in love with her.

After practice, August talks with his teammates in the locker room. He feels defensive when Iris’s name comes up. The other players insist that she used Caleb for his money and to get pregnant. August argues otherwise.

Afterward, August and Iris meet up. Iris thanks August for the raise and explains her insecurities about money. She tells him about how Caleb used his generosity against her. Then, they profess their love for each other.

On Thanksgiving, Iris attends the Waves-versus-Stingers game with Sarai and August’s mother, Susan. Iris feels nervous to see Caleb again and worries that he’ll do something to hurt August. She also feels uncomfortable because she knows how others see her and what they think about her and Caleb’s relationship. August catches her eye from the court and blows her a kiss. Caleb notices and looks angry. Susan engages Iris in conversation about her and August’s dynamic. She wants the best for August and hopes that Iris will be ready to commit to a life with him.
