the fate of Briar University quarterback\u00a0Beau Maxwell<\/a> (Khobe Clarke). Beau dies in a car accident in “The Score,” and part of the book examines how the tragedy affects Dean and Allie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dean and Allie have a rocky relationship<\/p>\n
In “The Score,” what starts as a one-night stand\u00a0between Allie and Dean turns into an ongoing hookup, then a bona fide college relationship with plenty of jealousy, miscommunication, and mutual growth. Beau’s death upsets their delicate dynamic and sends Dean into a self-destructive freefall. Allie breaks up with him\u00a0when he’s too preoccupied with grief-oriented partying to attend opening night of her play.<\/p>\n
Dean’s substance abuse also leads to his departure from the Briar Hawks. Having lost two major pillars of his life \u2014 his relationship and his team \u2014 Dean makes amends with people he’s disappointed and helps take care of Allie’s\u00a0father, who has multiple sclerosis. Allie toys with the idea of moving with her dad to work in Hollywood but lands a part on a show that is set to film in New\u00a0York.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By this point Dean works as a teacher and coach at a Manhattan private school, which allows the couple to get back together.\u00a0The conclusion of “The Score” sets up the fourth book, “The Goal” by revealing that John\u00a0Tucker (Jalen Thomas Brooks) and his girlfriend Sabrina James (yet unseen) are expecting a child together. We’ll have to wait a while longer to find out if Season 2 of the show gets into “The Goal,” and if so, how far.<\/p>\n
