In the next scene, audiences see Jordan at the hospital, with doctors and nurses fussing over him. He had a stab in the stomach, and it appeared deep, causing him to lose a lot of blood. Outside of the emergency room, Khalil, Amina, and Coop wait for news about Jordan. Layla Baker is now around, and as per Coop, she's in Elle's cabin, and there's no reception there. Meanwhile, Liv, his twin, is hours out.

KJ and Cassius arrive at the hospital after Amina shares the news about Jordan with KJ, just as the doctor comes out to share an update. It turns out that Jordan has lost a lot of blood, and he needs a blood transfusion for the surgery. However, he's AB negative, which is rare. His saving grace would be Liv, but she's still hours away from the hospital.

Cassius then volunteers. Cassius and KJ want to get tested to find out if their blood type matches Jordan's. To Khalil, Amina, and Coop's shock, he reveals that he and KJ are "family" to Jordan and that he's Jordan's first cousin. While it's new information for Khalil, Amina, and Coop, their real relationship with the Bakers is already out for audiences early in All American season 7 episode 11.

After Frank's surprise visit in All American season 7 episode 10, Cassius is forced to admit the truth about their family's connection to the Bakers to KJ. Frank is Billy Baker's half-brother, the son Grandma Mary had put up for adoption. KJ is understandably upset about the secrecy.

Per Cassius, as he offers to get tested to become Jordan's blood donor, he and Jordan are first cousins, which makes Jordan KJ's uncle. As fans of the show might remember from All American season 7 episode 3, Jordan was looking for his long-lost uncle, who he said was put up for adoption but didn't go through. Instead, he grew up in the system.

Frank also confirms the story in All American season 7 episode 11, saying that he's had a hard life because Mary gave him up. Meanwhile, his half-brother, Billy, had a good life, which he is still resentful about. It turns out that the Jeremy family secret he was talking about in the previous episode was that he manipulated Cassius into fighting against the Bakers.

He wants the Baker legacy at Beverly wiped. He wants Cassius and KJ to avenge him—to make everyone know that the Jeremy family is better than the Bakers. However, his manipulation doesn't end well because Cassius and KJ are willing to cut ties with him just so his bitterness can't poison their family any longer.
