‘All American’: The Vortex Deals With ICE Raid In Season 8 Clip

EXCLUSIVE: Jordan (Michael Evans Behling), Layla (Greta Onieogou) and the rest of the Vortex are helping to pick up the pieces in Monday night’s episode of All American.

Deadline can share the above clip exclusively ahead of the episode, featuring the OG members of the Vortex presumably in the hours after both Amina (Alexis Chikaeze) and Preach (Kareem Grimes) were arrested by ICE agents while protecting students and faculty during a raid on South Crenshaw High School. In the clip, Jordan shows up to their home, where Layla waits with Coop (Bre-Z) and Breonna (Sasha Lance), with a box of doughnuts in tow.

“Doughnuts have a way of de-stressing even the worst situations,” he earnestly tells Layla when she questions the gesture.

It might’ve worked, if he hadn’t had to drop the news on Layla that KJ (Nathaniel McIntyre) is also missing after taking off in the middle of a fight between Cassius (Osy Ikhile) and Jordan.

Looks like they’ve got their hands full in this upcoming episode. Watch the full clip above.

Focusing on the three pillars that have always been at the heart of All American – football, family and friendship – Season 8 picks up six months after the football cliffhanger at the end of last season and will span just one week in our favorite Beverly and Crenshaw crew’s life. A week that will have them wondering if everything they’ve been through over the course of their lives has prepared them for this moment. A week that will ultimately reunite old with the new, friend with enemy, and alter the course of each of their futures forever. 

The series stars Michael Evans Behling, Greta Onieogou, Bre-Z, Osy Ikhile, Alexis Chikaeze, Nathaniel Logan McIntyre, Antonio J. Bell, Kareem Grimes, and Lauryn Hardy.

All American is produced by Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios in association with Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Nkechi Okoro Carroll (“Found,” “The Resident”), Greg Berlanti (“You,” “Brilliant Minds,” “The Flash”), Jameal Turner (“Rosewood”), Sarah Schechter (“The Flight Attendant,” “Riverdale,” “You”), and David Strauss (“One Tree Hill”).
