Episode still airing but layla is my best girl and I have a lot to say but I'll start with how important it is to her to know that people are safe.
Her mother died driving home. Her mother died when she was supposed to be safe, and layla has to live not knowing if that was an accident or not. Layla was brought to the edge of the same cliff when struggling herself and also with Carrie (at least I feel like this was confirmed? But regardless...not good memories).
It's incredibly important to layla to know her loved ones get home safe. She needs the got home safe text, and it needs to be in words because that's easier to see and hold onto than a reaction. It means they had to type it out. There's no room for interpretation. She is that friend who makes sure you get home safe even though she struggles with driving because of all her history.
She needs to know when they all do because she knows what it's like to think someone did when they didn't.

layla is currently working through the grief that her mother won't be at her wedding, but she doesn't entirely realize that this is happening. She does feel blah, and she does blame the antidepressants for that, but she is dealing with something much deeper that she has not fully processed. She is able to talk about her mother to help liv or jordan, but she has not fully embraced what this means for her in the current moment. Her dad is more present than he used to be, but he isn't the person she would have wanted walking her down the aisle. Billy is. and she has to process that grief, too.

I think there is an element of....layla being afraid of labels. Layla shying away from labeling her and Jordan. Layla being okay with them bouncing between all the places because they're basically living together without it being official. It's an element of her feeling like she gets the best of both worlds. She gets what she truly wants while still protecting herself. Jordan moves quickly and feels intensely and in many ways, that helps her loosen up and feel things herself. She's able to talk to him about what she's thinking and feeling and she does trust that to be safe, but sometimes she can also invalidate his feelings because she's more grounded and down to earth and it's just Jordan going on one of his wild rides. He's worried about things that are so far in the future (being dramatic) and she has real concerns right now (patience, her lounge, her label).
There isn't a part of Layla that doesn't want that life with him, but she's not necessarily ready for it. She's still very young, and she's focused on making a name for herself in business. She wants to be with him for the rest of her life, but she's scared of what it means to fully give in to that. She is still learning how to trust, and her entire relationship with Jordan thus far has taken place during a really good time for her mental health. She's starting to slip, and she needs to learn how to navigate that while in a relationship. She broke it off with spencer, she didn't want anything serious with clay, and now she's shying away with Jordan. I do believe she'll get there and will learn how to navigate and rely on him and also encourage his own romantic tendencies, she just feels suffocated by them currently because 2 years feels like such a long time.
#muse: layla keating#meta: layla keating#also her wanting to wait to move in DOES make sense for her for the reasons she said!#she's just also afraid and shies away from fully giving herself over bc that means losing control!#and this entire ep also showed how important control is for her (again)#she has other focuses that do matter more to her right now. it doesn't mean she doesn't love jordan or that she doesnt want to spend#the rest of her life with him#she does!#the i want that too was real!#it's what she wants. she's just scared and slipping and has other priorities#i love her so bad#dyn: lean into love (layla x jordan)#all american spoilers#aa spoilers

Layla does and will always love liv, but she's at a place in her life where she will call jordan and patience her best friends.
#liv is always gonna be extremely important to her#and she's always going to think of her fondly and visit wherever she ends up#they're going to be family. she's gonna be her sister in law. that's important and what's always been true for her#but when it comes to the people she feels closest to#it's jordan and patience (and jaymee. i think if I dont push my own agenda liv is still before jaymee but we shall see how this season pans)#muse: layla keating#meta: layla keating#dyn: i miss my best friend (layla x olivia)#hilarious tag for this post#dyn: layla x patience

This is so dramatic after a 10 second clip, but I am literally so proud of layla. She didn't talk to anyone until she was in literal crisis in s2 and s4. Now a day after she recognizes her feelings, she's naming them, saying them, and crying about it to the person she trusts more than anything. She's gonna still struggle with throwing herself into work to manage, but she's come so far.
Layla is someone who feels so much and keeps everything close to her chest, never believing that people care enough about her and always coming second, so never trusting that what she's going through actually matters to them and focusing more on helping them through (I care a lot about how this impacts early layliv bc them having the same perceptions). But she has a support system that she can rely on and be vulnerable with, and that's absolutely everything for her.

Layla did genuinely love asher, but it also was different than the love she felt for spencer or Jordan. Spencer was devastating for a number of reasons, but it was also easier to believe that spencer loved her back, in a way, than it was for asher. After learning about asher & olivia and her own feelings for spencer, it was easy to convince herself that what they had was just convenience.
They made sense. She was the popular it girl, class president, and he was was the football star. They ran in the same circles. They both felt isolated from their families, although I don't think this was ever discussed between them just something that later would be recognized as comforting in a way. They were supposed to be together, and after he life changed dramatically, she clung to that even as the feelings drifted away.
So it's very easy to look back and think the feelings were never there in the first place, but they were. It was real, and for a short time, it was very important to her. But it was very easy for her to believe it didn't mean anything to him at all, that he didn't actually love her, and that he felt stuck out of obligation from the very beginning. These feelings intensify after learning about spencer confessing his love to Olivia right before hooking up with her because she constantly feels like this placeholder until people find something (someone, Olivia) better.

Jordan makes layla smile and laugh with all his corny jokes but also just by being him, and that feels so good after feeling like she'd never laugh again for so long. He makes her relax and eases so much of her tension. While he never tempers her drive, he does make her slow down and appreciate what she has around her. She's lighter, freer, sillier with him, and it's so good for her.

Layla + ily is something that can be so special to me actually. We don't actually see layla say it to asher and to my knowledge of cjs rewatch, we do not see her and Spencer's first ilys either.
Layla and asher were the couple that made sense. Asher was the star of the football team at the time. She was the It girl. They've known each other their whole lives. It's what made sense to her, to the world, and it fit with the image she was perfectly crafting, and she did love him. She loved who they were together. She doesn't think she was in love with him fully, but she did love him. Him cheating on her broke her heart (it being liv broke it more). She immediately assumes that Olivia was his first love because she's used to being second, and in some cases, often, second to liv specifically. (The fact that liv also believes this but re layla...spicy). She doesn't really believe that she could be loved by him that way at this point because of everything that happens with spencer.
Layla is in love with spencer, and she knows that she is in love with spencer while with him and when breaking up with him. That love scared her and because of everything in her life, because she didn't believe people loved her enough to stay, she pushed him away. He wasn't fully open with her, and eventually this is something that starts to eat at her. She wonders what it is about her that makes it so her own boyfriend doesn't confide in her. There must be something wrong with her. Spencer getting back together with her while actively being in love with Olivia makes all these feelings worse. She doesn't think anyone could love her the way she wants to be loved.
Then there's jordan. Jordan who she has also known her entire life but is her best friends brother. Jordan who she has known forever and one of her favorite people but also...just another guy in her friend group for the longest time. But he's never truly been just some guy to her. She has always felt comfortable and safe with him and trusted him with her feelings, and this is because Jordan has always validated her. Jordan wasn't her best friend until after Carrie, but he was always someone she could be emotionally vulnerable with if the time came to it, maybe more than anyone else.
Jordan is so clear in his feelings and intentions, and it was scary to layla. Layla finds it hard to trust again, and Jordan doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to girls usually. Not to mention the fact that he was married to one of her closest friends. But Jordan gives her time and space and...he never disappears.
Jordan never disappears on her. He's there when she needs him, but he also confides in her! Something neither of her past boyfriends did. He comes to her with his problems and he let's her help, and this does wonders for Her. It makes her feel special and important and also loved.
That's also scary. She's afraid of losing it. She needs time to work through that and solid ground to truly believe that jordan is there to stay, even if he's proved it again and again and again. When nothing changes after they start dating, they still talk, they still communicate, and he's still her best friend, she knows. She's kept everything close to her chest for fear of being hurt, but she fell in love with him long before she could ever say it. He was someone she had feelings for. It was safer. Dipping a toe in instead of diving straight into the lake.
She needed that to feel comfortable. She needed time to believe that she was worthy of this love. And she needed to trust that jordan would stay even if he'd given her no reason to doubt. She had to work on believing that she was worth that effort, and jordan made it constantly clear that he was all in with her and wanted to be with her and...she was pretty sure he loved her too.
So of course when she says it, it just slips out. It's when she's saying goodbye. It's when she's encouraging him to be himself! And he is! So entirely himself! His ridiculous self that she could not be more in love with. Layla saying it first is absolutely everything I could have hoped for, and she's felt it for so much longer than has ever been said, she just needed to feel on solid ground. Everything is still so hard, they're all still grieving, but they're together. Everyone knows. And nothing bad happened. He still talks to her. He's still her best friend. She can say it and believe that it will last.

layla was going to say no. she had it all planned. she was going to tell him she loves him so much and that she sees it in their future but not right now. they're too young. but then he addresses all of her concerns without her needing to say anything and proves to her that he knows her. he knows her better than anyone. he listens to her! everything clicked and then she couldn't imagine saying anything but yes. she wasn't thinking about anything but how adorable he was rambling and how well he knew her and she knows that he's going to be there.
later she'll think about how deeply she is certain that jordan will always show up for her. and how much that influences things because they both watched their parents fall apart after losing the person they thought would be with them for the rest of their life. they both have parents who lost the love of their life, their soulmate, and now layla has hers. laura and jp lost their soulmates too soon and layla doesn't want to waste another minute without hers.

no i will never shut up about how layla spent her entire life thinking she isn't good enough to keep people around and for them to love her and was cheated on twice (with the same person, no less) and how she thought that jordan would want to be with someone else and didn't want to stand in the way of it because she couldn't go through that again she wouldn't survive it
and jordan every day is like layla is the best person ever she's amazing the best thing to happen to me and layla cannot help but believe it
how layla always goes out of her way to hear and listen to the people in her life and support them in what they want and are feeling and is so supportive of everyone because she never felt supported herself
how much jordan needed someone to believe in him
layla and jordan are engaged and it makes perfect sense because they have known each other forever, she was his first crush, they found their way to each other, they complement each other, they give each other what they need and talk through differences that come up. layla supported jordan through the hardest time in his life, and jordan stayed while layla was going through the hardest time in her own.

Layla knows how to cook and will cook for you if she loves you. It's something that's really good for her, too, because she can get so hung up on all the things she needs to do that she will just order food or grab something quickly.

The thing with Jordan and layla is that like they always sell me. I could be on the fence about something, but then it happens and it's like I can't imagine it being any other way. They work. They make sense. And to counteract a lot of shit, Michael and Greta play off each other very well to make it all fit together too. They just Work.

Layla is big on quality time. She doesn't need the grand gestures or big statements, she just wants the person there with her. She spent so much time alone growing up and then even more time alone by her own choice to protect herself, that all she wants is someone who will stand next to her or be with her at the end of the day.

"do you think layla might have had a crush on jordan at some point in their childhood"
"i think so. i feel like she would have and if she even gave an inkling to suggest that, i feel like liv would have been like disgusting no and layla would have been like i'm just joking ewww he's gross." "but then also you were really mean to her so i feel like she also would have no idea that it was mutual at that point."
"favorite thing about their relationship"
"i like that jordan is so silly and fun. so that he makes her..i feel like he makes her more silly and more fun. and let's her lean into those quality she has that i think come out with like liv and the girls but they haven't ever really come out with any of her previous girlfriends"
michael: the ying and yang they have with each other. she can kind of make him serious and and not...spiral. he's very good at spiraling. (sam: the baker twins are very good at spiraling).....layla can usually kind of make him sit down and think about the pieces a little bit more in depth...
"i feel like it's really cute that when jordan does that layla finds it really funny...that's like her bringing out the humor...that's what it is. i like the balance."
sam: i think you guys have like good chemistry and you just play off each other really well and that factors into it also makes for a great...relationship just saying.
"do you think their relationship improved them as characters"
"i think it definitely improved layla because girl was miserable." sam: justice for layla "it's funny i was thinking about this like when i was doing those seasons and she's dating other people, like similarly to when you're in a relationship and then you get out of a toxic relationship you're like 'oh that was kind of shitty' but the more time you have away from it you're like oh my god that was actually that was horrifying i'm truly disturbed by those men. the more time that passes the more i'm like she really went through it. i'm really happy that now she's got like a kind loving partner" sam: layla deserves that. greta: not just her...the world. sam: layla's a great girlfriend. greta: i think layla is a good girlfriend! sam: great girlfriend. wifey material.
"favorite jordayla kiss"
both: 5x03 when layla kisses jordan
"is simone invited to the wedding"
"i feel like layla would be more open to inviting her than jordan would...i don't imagine that simone would want to come to that wedding whether or not she was invited."
the hardest jordayla scene to shoot was the simone fight because it was hard for greta not to laugh because of how that is an insane thing to say to your girlfriend (she's not my friend she was my wife).
"do you think jordayla is endgame"
long pause "i think so...i would like them to be i guess is a good answer cause i think they're (special? incredible?)" sam: i think they should be.
michael: were you shocked to see they were getting engaged in the finale cause i was. greta: absolutely. michael: i did not think they were gonna take jordan down this magical.... sam: have you not learned your lesson. michael: i was teased that i had a big decision to make...i think he personally he's had the ring for a hot minute. greta; okay when do you think he got the ring. michael: i think he got the ring after billy died after some time but after billy died for sure. because he's realized like olivia said that morning that life is fleeting...and it was only after the ring got found that he felt like he had to kind of do it quickly.
greta: how do you think he would have proposed if he hadn't?
michael: somehow getting in contact with boyz ll men...yes fireworks because i planned something in my head just for me to think about
"are jordan and layla making babies next season"
sam: baker babies no way
greta: i think layla and jordan will hopefully have a long engagement because they're young
sam: nice and long
#greta: did you say something about fireworks or am i making it up me who has seen the scene 483453 times: yes#muse: layla keating#meta: layla keating#greta call out spencer for being shitty more <3#dyn: lean into love (layla x jordan)#love to see they are in my head
