All American: Homecoming finds Simone and Keisha searching for control during Simone's birthday

As a gamer and someone who has binge-watched my fair share of shows, I can definitely relate to the emotional rollercoaster that Simone and Keisha are going through in “All American: Homecoming.” It’s frustrating when life throws us curveballs and we feel like we have no control over the situation.


1) Lacking control over their lives is significantly affecting the emotions of both Simone and Keisha, and this struggle becomes particularly apparent during Simone’s birthday celebration. (98 characters)

As Simone gets ready to blow out the candles on her twenty-first birthday cake, the television show “All American: Homecoming” has more disappointments coming her way. In “Control,” Simone deals with the discomfort and aching in her shoulder that resulted from her uncertainty about her actions during a tennis match.

Initially, Simone is convinced that there’s no need for concern after being directed to see a different doctor unexpectedly. However, this new physician dismisses Simone’s discomfort as insignificant and shows reluctance towards ordering an MRI scan. Instead, he only suggests blood tests.

In “All American: Homecoming,” Simone has private talks with Keisha and Marcus about how they or their family members have had to stand up for themselves when dealing with doctors regarding health concerns. With the need for an MRI after her bloodwork results came back clean, Simone takes charge of her own health advocacy. Unfortunately, the MRI discovery reveals a mass in Simone’s breast.

As a gamer, I can relate to the depth of Simone’s emotional journey in “Control.” For years, I’ve felt like I was spinning out of control as well. Things around me kept happening too quickly, and there were moments when I felt powerless to change my circumstances. Recognizing these patterns in Simone’s story resonated with me deeply. It’s a harsh reminder that sometimes life moves faster than we can keep up, and it’s essential to take a step back and reassess our situation before we lose control completely.

As someone who has had my fair share of late-night heart-to-hearts with friends while under the influence, I can attest to the raw and authentic conversations that can arise from such situations. Simone’s dialogue with Lando in “All American: Homecoming” is a prime example of this. Despite her intoxicated state, her words come from a place of truth that resonates deeply.

For Keisha, the anticipation lies in finding a spot at graduate school. Despite submitting numerous applications, she’s mostly encountered rejections thus far, causing her to worry about what may come next in her academic journey.

Despite everyone around Keisha appearing assured that she’s needlessly anxious, it leaves her feeling disheartened when their confidence contrasts sharply with the outcomes she sees. In “All American: Homecoming,” the friendship between Keisha and JR is further highlighted as Keisha shares her worries with JR, who sympathetically decides to share her concerns with him.

Homecoming” tackle the consequences of these plots, and what impact will it have on the characters and their connections? If the upcoming episodes in season three focus on gaining back control – be it over personal lives, sports teams, relationships, or academic paths – then the series finale may provide some resolution.
